I'm in Northern Ireland,so during the Winter months I avoid the salty roads with zero grip,but there are little windows of opportunity when rain has washed the salt off the road and I can escape the boredom of Covid lockdown just for a short time!

All you lot in warmer countries feel free to post up pics of your last ride out and make me jealous!

I also find it amazing! I can ride around with a holstered loaded firearm without any reason or credential, with only the lack of criminal history. Mental stability not withstanding! I ride outside city limits and shoot crap I find on the roadside.


As we say in Texas, It's a hoot
Here's a suggestion when you are next out and about. :LOL:

The roads were washed of the salty gunk here,so I thought I'd give the bike a half hour run. Nearly 2 hours later I was home! The roads were pretty good,aside from gravel and potholes,but at least they were mostly dry and grippy enough to have a bit of fun.
I removed the small Puig sports screen,as it was making my lid quite noisy and did the square root of FA as far as protection goes. So the Zed is back to being a proper naked as mister K intended.

Lovely photo of your mean machine 👍 Glad you got to get out today 😊 I’ve been suffering from man flu, otherwise I would of been out today.

Ordered Bagster seat from Chrome Burner, but they sent the wrong one. Quite annoying as had to pay import charges. Going to send back, get refund and buy elsewhere 😊👍

Man I hate that. All the anticipation of a new part arriving and it's the wrong bit. :(
Yes, quite annoyed to be honest. The seat was just loose in the box, no bubble wrap.
Didn’t look new either 🙄

They want me to print out return labels via FedEx, really taking the p**s, I said I don’t have printer, just send back via Royal Mail, more expense. I know these things can happen, just frustrating, Will order elsewhere, and get the right seat 👍😊
Finally got some good rain and then some warm weather, roads are a bit salty but I just couldn’t resist. 2 hour ride 2 hours of detailing lol

The Puig was just at the right angle to direct a rush of air at my head,it was very noisy at times,even though I wear earplugs. Seems much quieter now. After all it's a naked bike and I sold my ZX10R because high speeds were so easy,so in my case at least,it's probably daft to try to make a naked bike more aerodynamic! There's the SX model,if someone needs a fairing that bad.

I have one of the touring Puig screens too and from memory it offered more protection,but man that thing was major league fugly. :LOL:

I have a Simpson venom but it looks good but noisy even with Alpine motosafe earplugs

It doesn't take long to take it off and try it without for a while. It's always there if you take a notion to put it on again.
