Oh my goodness, making orange stuff.

This pleases me.

I like orange and blue... A little bit KTM, bright and fun!

but not in the bank balance :-)))))

Yes well there is that minor issue of cost

"Go for a ride" said my Wife, "the weather is lovely". Quite surprising to hear her say that seeing as she drowned in a tank of Fabric Conditioner yesterday. But that is a different story.

Anyway, 10 miles in I get stuck in a Hail Storm.

So 35 miles done in crappy weather, roads full of mud and hail bouncing of me. I suppose I will be cleaning it now.

Maybe just her way of ensuring you are properly rinsed

Or to get her own back she was trying to make him Vanish!

Is this my coat...?

After 13K miles (all weather and roads) my left heated grip required another gluing to the handlebar as it would slowly rotate when I turned it on.

Martin, be if I may be so bold, it's nice to go for a spin, even if you get a cold wash, at least you didn't have a tumble.....

Daz a nice thing to say Wurzel.

wurzel · « **Reply #8891 on:** March 17, 2019, 19:45:50 »

Aww, that's comforting Martin, I've been painting my windows, took me an hour persil, so I never got out...

tallpaul · « **Reply #8892 on:** March 17, 2019, 20:44:35 »

have a gold Star-drops, Wurzel! A couple of good puns there. A Bold 2 in 1 you might say...

I doubt it Paul, I also drove my tractor, OK I only have a tidler, over my field to cultivate my spud patch, on coming back I clipped a step ladder holding a canvas cover over the Veek, over she went, to find a soft landing on the other 3/4' s exercise ball, a bit like a space hopper.
Well that gave it's all in stopping the fall, as the brake lever pierced it, all rather deflating.
No worries, into my voluminous 'top box' it went, with thoughts of wild stories of brisk winds blowing it away across the field behind.
She watched the whole episode through the window I painted this morning...
Woe is me....

tallpaul · « **Reply #8894 on:** March 17, 2019, 21:18:04 »

You're doomed! I feel guilty for laughing as it could have been much worse. I do hope the Veek is OK?

wurzel · « **Reply #8895 on:** March 17, 2019, 21:31:30 »

Oh the veeks OK, it had a ball!

Enjoyed a 4-5 day holiday on the V-Strom touring the Snowy Mountains, NSW, last week with two mates riding quite different v-twins. It is one of the best areas to go riding in Australia. No traffic, fantastic roads and scenery, and usually comfortable temperatures at this time of year. Covered 2,200 kms on the trip.
