Nice one

Did it run out of petrol ?

 

[Timolgra]

All looks very familiar

 

[ButtonMoon]

Great bike!

Cheers Tim,

It felt a bit strange at first but after about an hour I was starting to get the feel of it. Seat is way higher than I'm used to and the power is awesome, tyres are great compare to stock tyres. It's still at Torque waiting tank bars. Northumberland next weekend !

Nice ! Is that a digital road book?

I took it off when I was using it as no matter how I adjusted the cockpit the hand guard would come into contact and restrict the lock .... even further!

Mapping switch on the right bar was useful though.

Were you able to fit a tank bag on your 690?? if so which one and did it restrict your movement?

Are you entering next year's Dakar?

Yes the Wolfman Enduro bag, it's not waterproof but I'm sure you can work round that ..... JB probably has a spare shower hat you could use

Need water proof really.

I may be getting a Giant loop one which is waterproof but I'd still be putting a freezer bag in there for anything that could get damaged.
