Started the day with a quick ride on my son’s GSXR to check out the front brake which has a judder when braking. Likely a warped disc,until we can raise the front to check the runout can’t confirm for sure. Fun ride though, never had a proper sports bike apart from an ancient FJ1200. #motosky

@pluginsolar.bsky.social Can these kits be used regardless of meter type ? We have the old dial leccy meter as pictured.
Old style dial electricity meter.

Cons : Missing the glove box storage and the planted high speed handling. #motosky #motorcycles #BMW

One day I plan something like that for my K.These 2 don’t look too bad either.The triple engine is better proportioned than the Four for this look.

I went for the bottom of the range YSS with no adjustability apart from pre-load to replace the Nivomat on mine. Big improvement for not a lot of money.

Tilly getting accustomed to her future mode of transport. She doesn’t dig loud noises so not so keen on motorbikes.

When out on the Tenere to get a pic of a lifting bridge for the riding challenge game over on revtothelimit forum. Well impressed with the new Conti trail attack rear tyre, might have to treat the front to a new one too. #motosky

Since Avon shut their UK plant it’s been difficult to get hold of any of their 17 inch tubed rear tyres for the Tenere. So I thought I’d try a Continental trail attack 3. A nice easy fit and should last longer than the previous Avon Roadrider that was worn out in less than 4k miles. #motosky

Autumn is my favourite time of year for offroading, especially after a big storm. Slippery enough to make picking a line that gives max grip interesting and all sorts of hazards hiding beneath the leaves to catch me out.

Always surprised how clean the oil looks when I change the gearbox oil on the little 2 stroke compared to what comes out of a 4 stroke.I guess it’s because it doesn’t come into contact with combustion gases leaking past the rings like on a 4T.

That engine needs to be on show it’s so odd looking but so practical for maintenance. Sometimes miss the massive LT fairing, never ridden anything else so stable at speed and sheltered from wind and rain.

Last week I wanted a KTM Super adventure 1290, this week I want a Moto Guzzi Griso, I wonder what bike I’ll fixate on next week. The brick’s staying for the time being. #motosky

The only annoying downside to these tenere singles is the bloody cushdrive only lasts about 5000 miles then jt has to be packed out with strips of inner tube to remove the slack.
