What have you done to your bike today....

[BAD LUCK DUCK]

Ahhh...I did wonder..when your giving it a bit of throttle and it really does like a bit it wasn't there..It was only when I had to slow down for traffic and I found I had to dawdle a little bit until I could pass it came on...I thought it was some kind of gaydar for detecting poofters or liberals in electric hybrid cars that were in my way...

I can also confirm the bike can comfortably sit at the ton mark and still feels really comfortable...Not that I know what doing the ton is or anything officer sir matey superintendent c#nstable guvnor it wasn't me cos I wasn't even there as I was nursing my poor mother back to health as she's really poorly and I got a wife and fifteen kids to feed...Phew..That was a close one

The screen is adjustable.
It's currently in its lowest setting but you're a tad taller than myself. Try setting it at its halfway point Duck.

I will but to be fair it does alright how it is..Way better than the triumph was when it had full fairing.

I've just saved that to my homescreen thingy on my phone and will also put it on my tablet..Thanks @Don the Don

Will this tell me what the three circles are that appear on the instrument panel every now and then.. unless @DD67 knows???

The circles indicate grinder discs, if they stay on and bleep it sends a signal to Kawasaki HQ that some git is attempting to violate one of their products and a team off Ninja's are sent to sort them out

Congratulations on the new bike @BAD LUCK DUCK I hope it does you plenty of good service.

Well Today I took Britt the Bonnie down to Alexandria to get her MOT'ed. Bloody cold! You wouldn't believe it was May the Fourth! Here are a few pics taken at the Rest and Be Thankful on the way home.



The top of Ben Lomond was wearing plenty of snow too!

 

[BAD LUCK DUCK]

I gotta say a big thank you to @DD67 for his patience with me and giving me the opportunity of a lifetime by selling me the versys and looking after me with a big box of extras and then some besides..
Also a big thank you to @Public Enemy for going out of his way to drive me all over the place and sort me out with other stuff..
We got some excellent lads on this forum..

I've just looked back through the photos I took of Duck collecting his bike today.
It looks like a physically big bike. Until you add a large oaf into the mix. Then it looks regular size

Where's the other large oaf?

I think he was loading all the additional spare parts & goodies into his car?

Cheers Don , 90% of my spares come from these people but good used spares are rarer than rare nowdays , people expect £150 plus for a tidy head and most under that price have a hell of a lot of fins missing , . cheers again

@DD67 may be a wrong'un but you can guarantee the bike isn't.

 

[Doc Strange]

Nice bike - @BAD LUCK DUCK - hope you have many glorious miles on it!

And gorgeous pics @MartytheMartian

Decent day at Donny today. Bloody windy, but didn't get wet until the afternoon, by which time I'd had enough anyway - cold and knackered!

Gonna ache tomorrow, but bike performed well and I stayed upright, albeit while riding quite slowly!

Now to find a slot for the next one.

Cheers mate,

As I've said before (on our previous home I think?)
My mate Gaz rode the Versys back from Ipswich for me.
He's annoyingly good on a bike. The guy could post fast lap times riding the crate a bike came in.
We set off at the same time but he needed to get fuel & he refused to use the A14 in favour of all the twisty back roads back to Northampton.
I guesstimated his eta at my house & knocked off 20-30 minutes. Then called Mrs DD to say when to expect him for his lift home.
When I called her they were in her car & halfway to Gaz's house. After Gaz had apparently spent approx 10 mins showing her around the Versys!
He was full of praise for the bike & said I owed him a pair of toe sliders.
I thought he was joking but the following day when I popped round, he showed me said toe sliders. On the brand new pair of boots I'd loaded into the boot of my car the previous day.
I'll freely admit that I could never ride it like that, & Duck probably never will either.
But it proves what the bike is capable of in the right hands
