Any idea where this came from?……
« on: August 11, 2023, 12:10:30 »
This morning I was cleaning my bike, after a ride in The Brecons yesterday, when I found this rubber clip (see photos) on the floor after I moved the bike.

It fell from somewhere on the left side between the front of the engine and the side stand.

It’s not particularly robust so I don’t think it’s anything vital. 🤷‍♂️

2022 1050XT.



Any ideas please?

It's just a rubber strap for securing wiring or piping

No idea what it is... but I was also riding in the Brecon area yesterday.

Wasn't it a lovely day.

Japan……..are you sure about that?🤔😁

Neil, bloody lovely day, but I made some poor route choices.

Avonmouth, Old Severn bridge, Chepstow, Usk, Abergavenny (tea stop), Builth Wells, back road to Brecon, A470….waste of time…..traffic and road works……then…..Heads of the valley roadworks nightmare. I was going to go and do Elan Valley, but I’m bloody dog sitting and apparently they need feeding etc.

Phil we did almost the same route.

Severn Bridge, Chepstow, Raglan, the old road toward Abergavenny, a short hop up the A465 and then off to Crickhowell, A40 all the way to Llandovery, Owls Nest, then across the Black Mountains. I also got caught on the Heads of the Valleys at Hirwaun all the way back to Merthyr, after that is was a clear run home, although the M5 was a bit bonkers from Bristol to W-s-M.... so nothing new there then.
