Pissed Penguin Motorcycle Rally
... was the Tardis's first girly virgin trip away, went with a mate on an 848 and a Triumph Tiger.
Weather was good till the rally, we had a coupla fantas and talked shit as you do, rained Saturday night then blew like a bastid on the way home then P I S S E D down for the last 50km home.
Poor old Tardis looks very second hand now and will need huge clean.
She ran strong and didn't miss a beat, had a moment on a greasy patch of shiny tar but like Ruben Xaus I rode it out (not quite as much coolness tho  )
820km on the clock on, not long till she is run in and ready top strap open.
Coupla pics from the event and went I got home slighty wet.
Got my plate on now too

Dunno if they are better or not, maybe better mileage and just what you feel comfy with.
Mate on mine with a std red red one runs Mich Pilot Road on the rear, he hangs it out and tracks it with no issues.
Alloy mesh on the cooler to stop rock damage as our chip seal flicks pretty badly here

Yes sir
Hey Chezzi how hard is it to change the fork oil?, I have my compression damping wound right out and it still is too harsh .... I wonna do the 5W oil.
The rear has dialed in nicely tho which is well cool.

Medium top soft sides AK.
Corsa III are more expensive in NZ.
I am gonna put a larger cooler on as well cos our summer heat is strong and dry so it would be advantageous to have the bigger cooler.
