Jeznewsome , the old ex N9JOB ( on Spanish plates) racked up 60 thousand miles .

I had to snap the pic early, was about to head into a fast down hill mountain pass, no where to stop and snap the actual 60k roll over !!

Thanks mate .

I some times think I should be doing more to the bike.

I change the oil and filter twice a year, I've changed all the other oils several times, I bleed fresh fluid into brakes and clutch.

Obviously brakes and tyres .

I had the rear wheel bearing collapse 2 years ago, so fitted new bearings and seal .

But I get worried , when I see all the maintenance others are doing to their bikes, and feel guilty !!

It seems to be going well, feed it 98 octane from time to time, use Motul fuel stabilizer, leave it parked for 2 weeks with the Oxford battery maximizer , otherwise , I just ride it .

We are lucky here, roads are good , so a wash every second month with a load of polish afterwards is all it gets to keep it clean.

Maybe one day I'll blow the motor with some bicarb and polish the pipes again , but now , too lazy , just enjoy riding it .

Howzit , ja here on the costa , well 20km away , its muchas tranquilo on the roads.

The guardia are ever patrolling , so generally the road manners are pretty good .

My R1100 S is pretty standard, mostly ride 2 up here , so don't attract too much attention.
Also take it easy, a 60 year old lady on the back is not going to bounce and roll very well....

The supermotard on the other hand announces itself, and I believe its impossible NOT to enjoy throwing it around a bit, so one has to keep eyes open , as you know, Guardia here use everything to catch speedsters, planes, helicopters, and now drones .
