    • Richmond Circus end of Kew Road - yellow / black XL700V, often parked by the parade of shops, see it every morning on my way past
    • Upper end of Lincoln Avenue in Twickenham - AT with what looks like an over sized white tank ( acerbis or similar ) - just down the road from me.
    Transalp 700, heated grips, SW Motech crash bars, Barkbusters, centre stand, short@rse seat, Vario screen, Givi E21s, CR85 folding gear lever, Trax top box.

    The beatings will continue until morale improves...

    if i didn't know better philip, i'd say you had a fixation for the honda transalp I know this cause i'm the same

    brought mine back to life today after three months lay-up started straight away after carbs filled up while cranking.

    covered her in muc-off and rode off to the jet wash which was hard to find one that wasn't packed..

    then had a ride round a local route and it pulled like a great dog on a lead it was 'magic'

    great to get back riding again

    Grovener Place in Victoria there was a nice Yellow 700 Transalp with all the matching luggage 20:45 hrs. There was usually only a dominator parked there.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    Another white/blue Transalp, similar to my own but with top box. Regularly seen on my morning commute on the A316 into London - carries straight on at Richmond roundabout where I peel off up the Kew Road.

    This morning - black AT , again at Richmond roundabout. Tall bloke - mind you, anyone on an AT is automatically tall to me !

    Anyone on here ?

    any one here park in the square near Great Ormond Street Hospital?
    Been there a bit recently, and a lovely Blue 650 alp was always there.
