Form follows function.......

 

 

Even with the shorter rubber fitted, making them look less like sagging titties,

With soft panniers, they'd still buckle/"be in the way"

The race tracks here donot have metal rails in run off area, but if you take a very sharp left mid left corner, you will hit those :tongue:

 

I inherited an EOS 1100D a while back and with the help of Photoshop, pics did come out nicely...

Ok, them Chinese indicators were cheap as chips ($10 incl shipping), but they blink WAAAYYYY too fast. At 1st I suspected that the bulbs were LEDS, but not, upon inspection I found these bulbs inside :mad:

Can one say "increased resistance"??

 

 

My shed harbors spares so easy enough fix; did drop the seller a wee note though. See what he has to say for himself... :tongue:

Seller will say to return them for full refund, knowing full well that you are not going to send 10 dollar bulbs to china.

Dubious Chinese Rusty Bulbs.

Oh dear. I can hear the valves in the 500 protesting already. I see a Honda NC750 in your future.

She was a hottie today......  in 37C/99F

 

 

I am contemplating buying a "commuter" (tax breaks/wrie offs if I do). But that'd mean letting one go.... And I am not at that point yet 🙂

I arrive in the office now with a grin on my face so big that they think I have JBF'd :tongue: I doubt a NC750 would do that to me....

Sooner rather than later though. Neither bike is a commuter and they will be destroyed by winter if you plan to ride then too.  Pity you have to sell one though. 

Never ridden a NC750 but it's hard to make any bike with an IC engine really boring IMO.

Tried this one for kicks; it comes with significant tax breaks/deductibles, but the snag with them is that you must keep the vehicle 5 years...

With max 146Nm torgue (in SPORT mode) it propels you to 176kmh pronto....   But it will not get me to/fro my current place of work in once charge.

 

Even in this "Black Forest Edition" with an extra rapid charger/battery in the "fuel tank"
