« on: August 14, 2020, 19:13:47 »
Still sat here waiting for bike delivery...650xt....sometime in August :shrug:....so to keep myself busy I've bought......centre stand, set of crash bars,airflow screen,Sat Nav holder,top box and plate,tank bag,tank protector pad, set of easi grip side tank protectors,set of soft luggage ( sorry I just don't go for the dustbin backend look....each to his own !! ).
I keep going into my garage just to touch my newly purchased extras...... :crazy: :crazy:

You could go further and lay everything out as it would be on the bike then sit in the middle making broom broom noises?

Unfortuantely, it's not normal behaviour and the only known cure for this is three doses of 650cc V-Strom administered three times a day for the next three years!  :dl_hyperhysteria: :dl_hyperhysteria: :dl_hyperhysteria:

Please note this prescribed treatement plan is for external use only!  :stirpot:
