Tommy xs Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Hey bipp strange I know but I think your bike looks better with the luggage on, very nice i'm sure you'll get the most out of it (Iron butt) just be careful out there apparently you only have to mention you own a BMW and some people go f#cking mental 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bippo Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 You know what Tommy - I agree with you. When I first took the luggage off I thought its "back-end" looked really dated in comparison to the front with its fairing. The panniers help to hide all that and even the bike out. But yeah I hope to get the most out of it with trips and you never know I may do another Iron Butt, if only to see how much more comfortable I'd be on this vs. a cramped naked bike! I really want to head to Europe for the 1st time on a motorbike but as none of my friends ride it'll be something I do on my own and I'm oddly nervous about it!! But anyway my aim is to get some practice in this year and use this bike for that next year. Ha ha! Yeah I'm clearly going to have to stick some gaffer tape on those ghastly badges...! Jesus...! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy xs Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Europe its not something I'd contemplate on my own, its a pity you couldn't make it to Spain with me Drew this year, hey but maybe next time eh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bippo Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 Personally I think my hesitation is because I'm getting older and more pathetic...!! I need the stop thinking about it and just do it, I think I'm turning it into a bigger thing than it is. You two ride too fast for me...! I'm seriously like a little granny, ha ha! I'm sure you guys will have a great time and hope you have good weather! [emoji41] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
