Just seen @IC3 has ended up battered and burnt. Hope your back riding soon and the bike got off lighter than you!

The temptation.

The second one is nice, the R version of that year has the forged wheels as well as the normal R goodies, brembo monoblocs, ohlins etc.

Do it

2nd one needs a service.

Then i see a K1300R and just smile like a little kid...

TBH, given the commuting and touring aspect, i think I'd prefer the BMW.

I have no idea what i want

Test drive a K1300R/S and you'll smile even more

Just had a good look at the bike, that's crazy low miles, who spends so much money on extras (exhaust, screen, levers) and then doesn't ride it?

Somebody who got **** scared when they opened the throttle probably

I noticed that he has done his wrist in. Not sure what happened either, might message him later.

Kreeeee · 23 May 2017 at 16:23

Are you all on some secret chat group?

Fireskull · 23 May 2017 at 16:31

Some have him on FB, I know Tom has him on there, and tom sent me the pic of his status.

New satnav arrived today.

TallPaul_S · 23 May 2017 at 18:22

Nice. They've got the one feature I wish TomTom would have, the ability to display/control music from your phone.

Captain · 23 May 2017 at 21:35

Yeah looks like a cool feature, don't know whether it'll get used though.

It's much snappier than the TomTom, feels sturdy too.

The_Abyss · 23 May 2017 at 22:37

Left the Bristol office early, got back home, cut the grass and went straight out. Got to love the longer, warm summer evenings.

I've no idea, I lost consciousness until the paramedics and police showed up. I was coming back home from a ride, took twisty roads back. should have taken A1... I would probably be in my own bed right now.

The paramedic said from what he saw, there was gravel on the road. He was a biker too.

Sorry to hear, hope you're on the mend soon.

Craig321 · 24 May 2017 at 10:02

Guess the bike didn't do so well then?

Yaayuh! · 24 May 2017 at 10:27

Hope for a speedy recovery and back on the road soon buddy

In other news, I'm riding an SV650 down to Devon next month. My arse isn't looking forward to it, but should be fun.

IC3 · 24 May 2017 at 13:37

Thanks all, might have an operation today and will have one on Friday to sort out the burns/dead skin. I only just found out where the bike is today, 170-180 for recovery and storage. I'll get my dad or someone to get it collected. Will probably end up selling it for parts.

Craig321 · 24 May 2017 at 13:41

What burnt you? Or is it road rash?
