Absolutely, couldn't agree more. Good adventures, good riding, good company

Too much information - Dont need to know! lol
ask him what happened next cos i was laughing
Was just a demonstration of how well the barkbusters work together with the crash bars. I did find out though, that whilst they protect your bike great, they don't protect your pride!

Ha ha! Great write up guys! Stunning pics and decent weather! If you've seen my report from yesterday you'll have seen the snow myself and SteveT encountered! At one point the Ickle Beemer was spinning so much I thought I'd have to push!

In regards to drops, Fiona did much the same as you last Sunday with her F650GS, engine bars and barkbusters did protect the bike!

Nice ride gents, wish I'd known in advance I was gonna get out yesterday (all happened spur of the moment) otherwise I'd've hooked up as well :dry:. How's the bike running after the overhaul Barnman?
