lol I got caught in a 'Wee' thunderstorm going home on Friday and the Cotswold mud is light brown (almost sandy in colous) which didn't go well against the black - okay, okay, so I have a slight OCD :)

Day I picked up my Wee!  :lala: First bike I'd been on since passing direct access a few weeks before....rode it 120 miles home! Was shattered!! Had to stop a few times to refuel myself with a yorkie or two!



On my first trek up to Scotland, before I made my panniers. Had some soft panniers but wasn't at all happy with the fit, so just packed light.



Fully loaded for a family holiday in Wales. Really chuffed with how the boxes look. Did em myself with rivets and sealant and all!  :fix:  Thought rivets looked much better than folded and welded. Just need to add some stickers and what not.

Oooooh, I've got one just like that :lala:

I like the neat tank bag in the middle picture - what kind is that?

I’d love to go back but I mustn’t do that

Its a Kriega US-10 dry sack, with my chain and lock in. This pack now sits inside the bigger tank bag seen in pic 3 as I seem to have misplaced the tank fitting thingy for it  :doh:

That is a tidy bike. I ride an 800 intruder but it's nowhere near as nice as that.

I had an M800 Intruder, it was a great bike just gave me a bad back after a couple of hours, my fault for being too tall and lazy (tendancy to slouch).  This bike is big enough for me to move about to keep comfortable.
