Me too, in fact I've literally just got home. I took the scenic route, which is still much too straight for my liking really.

Re: Work

Just at the end of 3 weeks face to face training with Defence at my local RAAF Base. Definitely enjoyed the 8.30 am starts and 20 min commutes. The courses have been designed for Defence personnel and contractors that have had no fuels experience at all, so have been a bit of suck eggs other than l...

Re: What are you doing today ??

I've been in to work today. Once again the air conditioning wasn't working. It was about 28° in there I'll be glad when we leave. I was at a work seminar at some offices in Leeds last weekend. Huge building over three floors, and we were just occupying one lecture theatre. Apart from myself and the...

A letter from BMW, if my engine revs over 12500 rpm the oil filter could unscrew itself... Cheap Brazilian made mahle filters.

Re: Stonesie's XR

+1, fwiw the Pipe Werx one suits the style of the bike best from my perspective.
However I do recall someone fitting an aftermarket can that was shorter, and consequently dumped the hot exhaust fumes onto the luggage (where the previous silencer had not been an issue)
