How come your exhausts are not scratched up and there’s no paint and scrapes on your panniers? Even your side stand has no grind marks!

Yes Geoffrey this needs to be rectified in Tassie. Thank you for pointing that out DD, we have been gentle on the old fella, glad your back.

Side stand scrapes? Pannier scrapes? Unheard of stuff for a GT rider, it must be a Bagger issue 🤔 🚴‍♂️

Nonetheless I shall pack a 10mm spanner to sort out @Geoff_3 ’s lack of wear on the hero pegs 🙊

 

[Geoff_3]

GOD DAMMMM

That's going to catch my eye every time i look at your bike now.

How the **** can you allow such a mess come on this trip.

It is called old age and I forget what I do after 2 days.

Donna, I am going through issues with walking and light-headed so don't need to have the bike falling over on me lol Give me a few more days to allow that to happen, please. OMG nice to have you back.

Thanks, Heli, to be fair I have only had the bike a little while and then not had much of a chance to really ride it as for hero pegs I need training wheels on me atm let alone the bike lol

The lack of padding on the seat really stands out to me 😬

Well, last Friday I was changing the colour of my exhaust from Silver to Matt Black when I had the stroke. It was bothering me while laying about in the hospital over the weekend not being able to have finished the job along with knowing the masking tape had to come off them. Then the exhaust sits on the garage floor not cleaned etc. I was told by the specialist to rest for at least 3 days, yeah right? When this was about a 45 min job to clean it up and put it back on the bike without a lot of stress. Anyway, I think it looks better than the silver so below are the before and after pics.

Baz, note the sexy toes on the bottom right of the last photo lol, I should have cropped the photos. if it was last Friday the fingers and mow were black also lol I went gothic for about 2 days before I had a chance to shower in the hospital to clean myself up. I felt like a real bum.

That looks so much better Geoff, better than when it comes out of the factory.
Rest up now big fella

I wish I did look better than when I came from the factory also Damian. lol

 

[Geoff_3]

Ongoing touch-up to Black out the centre stand, side stand and screen screws along with the brackets again keeping up the Damian M tradition of black is best f...k the rest lol What else do you do when you are not allowed to ride or drive for 4 weeks

?

You could go do some Graffiti Art down the Local Train Station mate, that would kill a few hours. You could become the Aussie Banksy, doing street art all over Newcastle

I might just do a nudie run to give the oldies in our complex a heart attack lol but then again I still have to get mine checked out next month so might not get too excited.

 

[Geoff_3]

Last of the touch up with it being 30c at 10.30 am I needed to finish this at long last and now I can rest sit back and dream of the Tassie ride I missed out on. I have to say considering the old girl is a 2016 model I am getting it as new as I can in the looks department at the very least.
