Fitted a Givi Top box, was fairly easy apart from the last 4 little screws that keep the plastic top plate down. They were really tight little buggers!

Not you Simon, the top box situation.

I actually managed to ride it as I actually got some time off work.

A whole 9.1 miles to the MOT station and back in the pissing rain.

That's my 10th MOT on my Strom.

Got the knuckle guards, 12v socket, heated grips and a centre stand fitted

Fitted the handguard fillers that I purchased from Kiss of Death. ... hopefully that'll keep the cold winter wind out

I was struggling to fit all of my hair products in just a Top Box so I fitted the carriers for my Trekker luggage

Just back from a 2 day jaunt round Cornwall (down along the north coast to Lands End, back up the south coast) and a bit of Devon. 400-ish miles, and managed to only do about 10 on dual carriageway.

Huge amounts of fun! Even enjoyed the camping, except for the bit when it chucks it down just as you're about to take down the tent.

Little trip down to Caen Hill Locks at Devizes to meet up with Andy (Hugo Magnus) and Mike (MJW) for a walk round the locks and a coffee. Not a long day for me, but good to actually get out and the reason for a short-notice MOT yesterday.

Mike's first words to me were .... "Wow, I like that Silver Frame" .... much to Andy's amusement.

Mine on the Left, Hugo's is the Blue Glee and mjw the White Glee.

Sorry revapi - This was a late replacement for another trip that we couldn't do any more. I went through Calne both there and back.

I actually washed it - not just rode it in rain. I forgot parts of it are silver not black (not the frame Martin!).
Had help from the 2yr old so extra clean - as was I when she thought it'd be funny to wash me with the hosepipe too. She also asked me what the pillion pegs were for, when I told her she could sit on the back when she's bigger she said 'No! I'm going there' pointing to the rider's seat
