Title: It's gone a bit quiet
Post by: Bryn on September 18, 2012, 04:15:56 PM
Is it me or is it even quieter in here than normal  :sleep1:

Perhaps we're all out enjoying the last of the long hot summer  :mfr_lol:

Had an exciting delivery today... a 110pc copper sump plug washer kit including the right size for the final drive drain.... life doesn't get much better  :laugh:

If we can get Mogs to threaten to instill some discipline in someone with his crossbow that normally opens up the discussion floodgates.  :mfr_lol:

Maybe we can give Mogs open license to go Bradfordian hunting with his crossbow.

Five points for each drug dealer he gets.
Three for each chav/chavette.

By the end of the week he'll have a million points I reckon.

I'm bored....  I downloaded the Simpsons Tapped Out on my ipad.

Like I said... Bored...  Anyway - if anyone is as bored as me and has an iThingie, download it and add me as a neighbour on Origin... I'm Roastie74

Jeeez.. I really am bored.

just checked MGs activity and he has not even signed in for 3 weeks, im sure he will be back in the future next time he makes yet another video showing all his mods ,

talking of missing people also checked Noks12rs , not signed on for a month now, maybe he is harrassing some bmw forum

Panniers... now there's a subject.... At last I've found a bike where I don't intend to change the panniers......

I've had quite a few GS's in my time... and the first thing I do is change them...

I've had a Touratech special set, a balanced set with a stubby exhaust, a set of Al Jesse's , a set of ARD cases, 3 sets of 1150 ADV ally panniers, 2 sets of 1200 GSA panniers , a set of Vario's, a set of Caja Sahel's  and at least 3 sets of standard 1150 ones... not forgetting the peli case as a top box....

The Explorer was in my possession from new for 4 months... a full set of Givi Trekkers, and a set of genuine Triumph .....

Bags for inside?  the £14 each Hein Gericke fit the GTR panniers pretty well   :yes:

Its quiet because ive been riding from Calais to Portimao for the last 3 days, now got web access. Ive been sitting here in 35c heat trying to read the posts in bright sunshine. Got nothing controversial to add, looking forward to WSBK on Sunday. I will post details of the trip (and photos/vids later) 1500 miles,2 1/2 days 80-110mph, 52mpg!!!!
