Durbanville to Yzerfontein for the weekend. Left just after 07:00 this morning, was misty and cold when I past Darling.

Is it maybe the perspective, or my eyes, or is that front end SUPER raked out??
Looks out of proportion......

Your eyes are not deceiving you - my friend said the same thing to me the other day we went for a ride.

All I can think of is that I need to readjust the rear shock since it was set up according to the previous owner who was heavier than me.

The rear shock is not OEM, it was built by a guy in Cape Town, so maybe I should visit him to tune it according to my weight and height.

Have you been doing some skelm purchasing? Howcome your Nomad bag is bigger once you reach Darling than it was when you stopped for petrol?

 

No skelm purchasing this time haha.

I think it is the wind that changed the form of the bag, was a bit windy as well on Klipheuwel going through all the way to Malmesbury.

The rebound must be non-existent then if it is the rear shock. That looks likes the forks are too long, the angle of the forks to the headstock looks off. Hopefully nothing but maybe something to look at measuring and then comparing to the stock figures.

Was looking for some dirt roads around Yzerfontein, saw this path going up to the radio tower. Beautiful view at the top.

I will always have a soft spot for Harley. If circumstances allow in the future, I will get another one.

You are going to need an "aged" brown leather Triumph jacket, gloves and boots, with a 3.4 helmet goggles and I hope you can grow a hipster beard
