Humour / Re: Unfortunate choice of words

My reply would be "feck off pal it's a single!"
The 500cc Bullet my wife had would rattle fillings and  teeth out when sat at the lights.

I liked TMF in the early days, but now he's pompous and compares a 5 grand budget biketo his new goldwing!
I won't watch his videos or that Richie Veda boke, in fact I'd rather cover my nuts in jam and teabag an ant nest!

Traitors Corner / Re: What have you done with your bike today?

I think the older guzzi big blocks are a lot like the wee strom in that respect, with a bit of care they can cover enormous mileages, and reliably to boot!
I have no issues taking mine into the bush, where there is no one around, and if it all comes out on top you’re on your own. At least I know the bike will still run as long as it has fuel.
I also think still running points helps as they can be replaced in case of failure, whereas an ecu or Dyna ignition fail will just strand you.
Anyways happy and peaceful Easter to all.

I saw that TMF review and his comment regarding the mirrors. All I can say is until he rides my Guzzi he won't know just how much a mirror can shake.

V-Strom specific discussion / Givi pannier racks 2018 AL8 650
« Last post by locksim on March 28, 2024, 17:32:50 »
Evening all,

I only seem to be able to find these racks for my AL8.
https://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/501608

They come with dire warnings that only a V35 pannier will fit.

Can you get racks for the older style E35 type panniers for an AL8?

Getting lost tracking small roads on my 650 is my favourite way to spend my time.
Great vid, the sound is  superb by the way..... :thumb:
