Oi..the bottoms taught it's the tummy that's saggy

IMHO both of you are too near to the white line for taking a Right hander. as I say just MHO

There would appear to be a surfeit of prolixity and sesquipedalian content today please do not use a big word when a singularly un-loquacious and diminutive linguistic expression will satisfactorily accomplish the contemporary necessity

Steve's already said that the photos were on the exit from the bend - if there was nothing coming the other way............ Nothing wrong with those positions?

If I am ever on life support - Unplug me......
Then plug me back in..........
See if that works .....

It`s a bike prone to abuse and failure so we are informed love the home made plywood fairings though
Fiat Panda.
Fiat Scudo (with speedblock, pipe carrier, reversing sensors, reversing camera, tow bar, some new rust and Fake Plumber logo)
started out with nothing, still have most of it left.

What's that blue thing on the front brake calipers in the first two pics?
Just some bling-bling?

Yes, some anodised caliper protectors I think from the GS accessories catalogue

Thanks!
Well, I guess those calipers need to be protected when storming through the Amazons, South America, or the rain forest in Congo, Africa.

Or, even worse, the backroads of Yorkshire.
