    Do I need to clean my Mirrors?

    Hiya...




    Just thought I'd share... (I had to show the Folks back home St.Ives and Cambridge, so I made them a little Vid to show just how flat and straight these roads are!!!)

    Pillion needs a medal!!!

    Oh and If you look really carefully you can just make out my new Touratech Pegs

    OK OK I'll clean that mirror! (Its new though, less than a month old!!! )

    I remember that statue in St Ives, sat and ate my sarnies there once, then went to a pub at Holywell. Had a painful joint in my thumb (early bikers arthiritis I think) so I dunked it in the church well (the holy well) for it's healing properties. Thing was full of crap and germs, lucky my hand didn't drop off, still get pain on long journeys when holding the throttle.
    3 Africa Twins/280,000 miles. If it's happened to one of mine, it's gonna happen to one of yours.....eventually.

    1 Varadero/17,000 miles ridden (of 40,000 miles on the bike), it's all still new to me!

    Is that legal to split lanes between 2 cars at the same time? It's not that I give a ****e..just curious. Nice vid by the way.

    When he was overtaking in the face of oncoming traffic? Probably not if a traffic cop wanted to pick faults, but as there are very few traffic cops around any more, it's not likely to be a problem

    I've noticed the same here as when you were overtaking - I think I'll call mine Moses, as the vehicles in front are like the Red Sea, spreading themselves to the road's edge to let the AT through

    I hate these medley songs. You don't know what you are listening in the end!!

    Love your screen. I have not managed yet to get my hands on one like this. They are not sold here in Greece and the ones I found on eBay were not shipped to Greece either ...

    Ride on.....
