Taken last September doing a bit of semi off-roading around Muckish mountain, Donegal, Ireland.

The wife was so cheesed off with me half heartedly doing some DIY this morning she eventually said to "take myself off out". I DID, what a great run. Why are wives always so thoughtful ?




Thanks Fiona!!!    :lala:

That would'nt be Errigol (spelling?) in the back ground would it? Been over that way a few times over the years. Beautiful part of the world.

Hi you

NO, its Slieve Binnian in the Mourne Mountains. A fantastic part of the world for motorcycling. Ireland really does have have some gems of motorcycling roads. There should be a V Strom weekend some here time so you can all get to see what you have been missing.

Finally got a pic of my bike that's not taken in the dark, garage or trailer!! :grin:


This is me picking the bike up from my office yesterday, and driving it home in Force6 gales!!
Couldn't go motorway, so went all the way through Paisley, Elderslie and Johnstone, then onto some narrow bumpy back roads, blowing a gale, and thumping down with rain, but best run on bike yet.

Cheers
Al.
Wee owner, but never ridden one in the outside lane of the motorway yet!!

It is mate, taken on April fools day when I took delivery.

West London Suzuki wouldn't let me have a Tango Wee with ABS unless I bought a GT. Aye Gee's were a little more helpful so they got the sale.

My bike...
Pre Vinyling...
All I have at this point, is a red reflective "bumper" tape stripe, around the top-box rear, and on the rear of the box opening bits on the side... and a double stripe (to cover the white scuff marks) on the front panels of the side boxes...
This was taken, about April/May last year... when I just got it....
Oh... and I have 2 strips of white reflective Bumper tape (see front of boxs) attached to the white plastic inner panels of the side box "light panels", so it shines through the red plastic...
You'll see what I mean...

EDIT....
Shit...
It didn't seem to work....
How do I put photos on to here, that currently reside in my Pictures folder, on my PC...
They are no-where else, like flicker, or Photobucket... just on my pc hard drive...

Help? Anyone?

You can't, open an account with Flickr, it only takes a couple of minutes.

They are Barkbusters VPS ones and yes the top part is adjustable and the pic shows it in it's highest setting
there is a lower setting too.
