  1. Connor, a picture would speak a thousand words....
  2. Tounge?? For now... Work to ride, Ride to work!
  3. I like these graphics a lot better... So much, I'm contemplating this scheme for my RC51...
  4. A couple of years ago a member on the vfroc.nl forum had an awful experience with Carmo. This was shortly after the vfr1200 came onto the market. Bottom line they failed to do the work and returned the ECU with holes drilled in the casing (afaik) Maybe they now, years later, are able to do a good job...
  5. "yes I bring winter gloves" you said 😁 Jeroen and I tried to convince you to put heated grips on.... Did you listen? Aaahh, memories....
  6. Twas of a matter of time that the 2nd bulb of the speedometer would throw in the towel. So I had to come into action on the matter
  7. @evl_twn
  8. or it is just a decal stuck on 😈 Come on evl_twn, spill the beans!!!
  9. "Pump up the volume" 840cc kit?
  10. Lest I forget I also have another mistress..... Ok, 4C/40F and a grey blanket sky not the best weather, but as per my adage "any ride is a good ride", I went to see my mum on 2 wheels And with a sprinkling of ADOBE..
  11. And what the hell. 25% black friday discount on a Saturday.. So rain will not run from your sleeves into the gloves:
  12. Hello............... My name is Dutchy and I like round asses en masse...... I'm happy to be a member of the AA...
  13. Swapping the shock is easy enough, so "doing later" not that involved.
  14. Unless they want to put her in the living room and just look at her that is.... (and there is nothing wrong with that either)
  15. Fresh MOTUL 5100 10W40 this Friday!!!
  16. As long as there is no road salt, she will pull her (and my) weight..... The limitations are my (older) winter gloves and my inability to locate my 12V Powerlet inner gloves. "I put them in a VERY special place................ somewhere....). The Oxford grips get uncomfortably hot at 80% power on my palms. It is them finger tips that after 45 minutes of motorway blasting are paying the price for my core temps dropping. And I flat out refuse to ride a K1600LT!!!
  17. Life is a wee bit nippy at 3C @160KmH.... So my 25+ year old gear mountaineering gear (the elastic "pull"cord crumbled) came in "handy"
  18. So you bought a good bike cheap! Very Dutch!!! Yes it is bloody cold, that's why they invented Oxford heated grips and thermal underwear and fleece!
  19. Welcome to VFRD!!
  20. Seb, how does the rear shock perform? Chances are that by now it is well past use by date... And the s/s lines, are they HEL?
  21. Have another spare one in the attic I spray the box with black HT paint after clean/degrease now and then. ACF50 made an awful smoke..... I know it would so made straight for the motorway... The brown stuff on the underside of the frame rail is some anti rust coating. Not tectyl but.... will look it up. PS: Odometer showed 69696.9 today... Go Nicky!!
  22. Got on my knees during lunch... Aye, there's a hole! (1986) Will see if the weekend gives me time to clean and inspect thoroughly. Have the ACF-50 at the ready!
