Among the white vans, trucks and cars a single light, a twinkling star. An instant to nod and bid farewell though who it was I could not tell. My journey over and bike in shed the ride and road still in my head. I look up at the cold, black sky white-lined by the milky way. Each twinkling star, a single light. a billion bikers riding the night. -
confiscate the bike... that was a real ouch!!! -

they have gone thru some tough shit. The paynes had something similar and it tore them apart -

something your pictures can't capture, that lovely country side smell. Great pics though. I hope the weather holds out for you -
true that. I nod at scooter riders and most don't nod back. There i also a small clique of bmw gs riders that are above nod backs -
DO AN IRON BUTT.. New tyres and decimate my quarterly bonus.... check! Oil filter, oil and waste 2 liters because I forgot sump bolt....check! Air filter and plugs but worried about one plug since radiator was in the way... check!! Strip and clean brakes then spend 8 hours bleeding them because I'm a cheapskate and don't read instruction manuals till everything goes wrong.... check!!! !8 year old bottle of glenmorangie I have saved up for all year for afters.... check!! If I don't come back someone avenge my death!! -

Not taking anything away from a perfectly sound point but why does every little fiddle make the bike feel like a very different filly. -
this is the correct video link for the subject title. Apologies. Good on you for spotting the step toe and son link -

suzuki dl 650 v strom -
I bought my bike in december with 15k miles and have added 2.5.k sine then. It struck me that I may need to have the big service done. I had a casual chat with the mechanic what that would entail and cost. He said oil and oil filter change, air filter change, plugs, brake pad check. Surely there is more to this if I will be forking out 150 quid. Is there anythingmore technical I should expect for the " big" service?
