Get a later head, spray it black.
Bosh it on, job's a good 'un. Have you seen the price of new inlet valves??
Anyway.. TRX in full touring mode, waiting to get on the train:
TRX back in race mode (except the 'Nav I suppose) ready for glorious sweepers:
Photo opportunity at the Nurburgring, already done it twice (bit of a yawnfest the second time if I'm honest) but not got a picture in front of the iconic sign until now! And yes, I'm killing it old skool in 90s leathers.
One bike parked up at the bike cafe surrounded by 8 foot wide German contraptions:
Beaufort castle (a tradition):
A slightly wet day which led us to Verdun. The suction mount for my 'Nav had been seriously impressive all week until it saw a smattering of rain, when the whole lot promptly fell off and kept falling off. A surprisingly stressful morning, but the 'Nav only hit the deck once (bugger!).
The view of the Mosel at the viewing point near Piesport. I heard something coming from miles away, it eventually turned out to be a Buell which was kind of interesting.
Time for bratwurst and chips, at least it didn't come with any bread! I couldn't take much more bread by this point..
The viewing point at Cochem. Everyone's looking at the town, but after 6 years of ownership I'm still all about that bike. Phwoar.
Soon followed by a bit more race track-level road..
It was good - no strips!
Coming back home on the Channel Tunnel, hours of delays later..
2000 miles in 6 days, 3L of oil used (absolutely drinks it on the motorway!), no mechanical hassles which put me way ahead of my mate on an NC30 which had a very slippy clutch after a couple of days.. And averaged 57MPG, all round not bad at all. These things are alright for road use y'know! Anyone else been out and about on theirs this year?
A quick jaunt over the Col de la Faucille was a whole bundle of fun as well. The TRX makes a surprisingly capable tourer, as long as you don't want to carry too much luggage. I bungeed a small sack to the pillion seat, which had enough to keep me going, no worries. I'm sure I've got some photos somewhere - I'll see if I can dig a few out. I rode down with a mate on a ludicrously quick GSX-R1100M powered Katana, and met up with another mate with a Duc 748R. As holidays go, it was a pretty good one
