Is motorcycling allowed?

Saw pictures released as part of the new GS850 street bike, so like a R of sorts, looking seriously nice and I am not a BMW fan at all.

Has a SS1000R type lights in the fairing and the beak integrated into the fairing.

I don't like the front light, looks like an add on. Bike SA, I think have a whole article about it as well. Edited April 10, 2019 by BSG

Had an awesome ride out in the cradle this morning.

Did my first commute this morning. School holidays and I left a bit early so the traffic was not too bad (well by Sydney standards - there was still more traffic than I have ever ridden in).

 

Went pretty well! Bus lanes most of the way and wasn't stressful at all. 30min on the bike compared with 1h10 on the bus and 1h15 on the bicycle! Stoked!

What are you going to do with all your extra time? 

 

I sleep a bit later in the morning and the garden gets 30 mins more attention in the evening.

Also did a short up and down the road on a motorbike this morning .... was interesting feeling the power kick in ......................... it was an e-bike though

I have just done 10 000 kms with my Dakkie since my last oil change. Wanted to do an oil change over the weekend and saw the oil is still in good shape. It is still the colour of dark honey and viscosity seems to be in order as well. 

 

Will it just be good measure to change, or does it need to be done without regarding the state of the oil?

Unless it is 100% fully synthetic oil, I would do the oil change. It is only prudent to do this kind of maintenance.

Bike looks like it is crying, probably because somebody told it it was a KTM.

Something like this?

Looks like a photoshop/artist impression.

Still think it's pig-ugly, and a bit pointless, but apparently the Niken has been getting quite a bit of positive publicity.  And this can't hurt either....

Didn't look like it was that tiring to ride over the cobbles yesterday too.
