What?! 51 minutes of advertising?
Are you absolutely positive you have the correct link?

If so, please state the minute to start watching from, since I only have another 24 * 365 * 20 lots of 51 minutes to live.

I 'think' I said it was 5 mins in. In fact I know I said it is 5 mins in. And if you watched the rest of it then more fool you  ::)

Oh, I like that. 

I wonder a bit about how well it would cope with my cast concrete floor, but seems to move over a joint pretty well in the video.  I can only think that the Ducati reference is to do with single sided swing arm, but the very first shot looks like a GS, and then there is a slightly different stand for the KTM with double sided swingarm.  I reckon with a few of those, I can fit a couple more bikes in my garage, which has to be a good (if expensive) thing.   :thumbsup:

The BMW Paceguard gloves from BMW Europe-moto finally turned up. When I ordered I didn't realise where they were coming from until I got the order confirmation. Turned out to be Motosud 34 in Montpelier. So that's taken 15 days to deliver from order, got to love a Brexit bonus. According to the tracker, first they went to Girona (Spain) then the Netherlands where they spent 5 days, then finally trundled through the UK for 2 days via Royal Mail.

And they are exactly the same as my old Enduroguard gloves. As the gloves are Gore-Tex lined I am wondering if I should get in touch with Gore-Tex about the old pair. Anyway old gloves are still intact if not waterproof, so I'll continue wearing them as dry gloves and keep the new ones as a spare pair in the bag if it turns torrential.

In other news the misfire remains undiagnosed. The bike won't show a diagnostic fault in the workshop, only when out on the road and there's a bit of load on the motor. I feel a complete set of coils and or plugs being suggested in a minute as they can't sensibly replace one at a time as the radiator needs to come off and go back on again each time.

5:03 to 5:51. It's a pair of paddock stands with goofy wheels so you can push the bike around like it's on swivel castors. They say it's for Ducati, then show it being used with a KTM.

Other (K) Bikes or anything else! / Re: Today's steed - BMW R1300GS Triple Black

Two small corrections, having ridden it back to NOG:

> Pros:
> - good suspension, better than a K

I preferred the K when I got back on it. Although the K is slow steering it is so planted. No twitchy bars over the bumps.

> Cons:
> -...but I had numb fingers on stopping (45 min ride), and now they're tingling.

No problem on the way back, so it was probably temperature-related, and not the bike.
But still not a bike I could fall in lurve with.

These always looked much bigger on TV, this was the first time seeing one in the terrible plastic flesh.

There's a stylish touch of early (brick-type) K on that fairing and wing mirror combi.

Today I went here/there after visiting that Compton Abbas airfield place for lunch. Someone must have told me about it previously ...

That would be Andym2. Take a bow, Andy!
