Great Pic Mick,
The no hands text manoeuvre was always one I aspired to.
Secretly, that's why I kept falling off !
Best of luck with it anyway. . . Dave

Aye up Dave .... where's tha bin?
Back in action?
All well?

Great to see you setting the standard Mick, you're the man !

Same here out Sherwood way, lovely day.
You're right about the XCountry too John it's a perfect bike for buzzing about on.
Great bike for putting a smile on your face.

It most certainly is

It's also a good bike for getting through traffic, being so small it gets through most gaps.

Just need to watch for van mirrors.

Burnt leg

I decided to put the Remus on, looks nice on the black bike with the TT Carbon heatguard



Lighter and slimline look



Hmmm....

Hi

I was wondering if your new guard was cooler than the original metal one? I found that when riding off road I get a burn through my boots and my leathers on my left calf. I like to ride with quite close contact to the bike when off road (as per Chris Scott advice), especially as I have shortish legs (boyfriend likes to remind me of this). Riding in the south of Morocco caused a problem with a nasty burn on day one - rough tracks, soft sand and well out of my comfort zone required a good grip on the bike.

What do you think?

 

[Micky]

I don't have a problem myself Crackers so I'm afraid I can't help ya

Regardless ... welcome to UKGSer land

 

[ian640]

Here is Crackers's bike on the left (I believe not unfamiliar to you Micky or indeed DKF) ready for departure on said trip to Maroc.

You will note the commendable approach to travelling light.

I also managed to fit most of my stuff into the tail pack on my XCh, but somehow also managed to end up with a full set of panniers as well

Trip report to come

Hi
I had the same Remus on my XCountry but with the standard stainless guards, with no heat problems.

Why not try longer Allen screws with a couple of bolts on the inside,between the guard and exhaust to make the guard father away from the exhaust. To act as a spacer.

I've never had a problem, though i can feel the heat coming up if riding in slow traffic on a warm day. That said it is rare that i ride in anything other than MX boots, and these come up past the exhaust pipe giving a good level of protection from the heat.

Ian, Which rack have you used for your panniers?

 

[Crackers13]

The burn was through thickish leather trousers and my trials boots, but the temperature was in the 30-40 degree mark in Southern Morocco, on the road I have no problem. Will try a spacer and longer bolts - good idea
