Chris . No it's the smaller 675. Bit of confusion about what I ended up buying lol.i tried two 1050s and the 675 and ended up buying the the smaller one.. much nicer to ride and more what i needed..
So today scrubbed the tyres in . In sunshine!!!! Hard to believe..i did find a small castle and a huge puffin lolImageImage

Ah I see, nothing wrong with the 675, quite some bike. I prefer the round headlamps that yours has to the later ones and the colour is the best 8) 8)

You were fortunate with the weather :thumbup: :thumbup:

That's one huge puffin :lol: :lol:

The decision to take the 675 was actually based on a quick chat i had with cheekykev :thumbup: .. i was at the point of not really knowing what to get if anything to be honest , it was along the lines of decide what you really use your bike for and buy something that suits those needs :thumbup: :thumbup:

Got out on the firestorm, its first short ride of '24 :D

Indicator dashboard light was flashing like mad, front nearside not working. First call when I got home was to search this forum for that issue, could be bulb, relay or crusty connection.

After faffing about removing lens covers, checking and swapping bulbs around it turned out I had disconnected the connection inside the fairing when I was trying to work out connections for heated grips and forgot to reconnect it :shh:

Took a trip up to the Jones Ranch for a bit of R&R...Dis fek all except grab some cash off him for some bits sold, drink alcohol, talk bollaks, watch TV & eat,

Went up on The Murvinator avoiding the rain both up & back home...

Whilst there in an effort to cut emission's I fitted a cat...
