Took the bike over to the garage so I could change the rear tire and do a bit of pre-rally maintenance. And I found this on the other lift. A brand spanking new 2020 Triumph Speed Twin.

Also, last night at the Cycle Gear bike night. I saw a Yamaha that I never new existed. 2013 Yamaha XJ6

Nothing like a fresh set of rubber Fred, good pics. I just took a short run to make sure things feel right. I mounted and balanced a set of fresh rubber and new fork seals two weeks ago. Just got all the bits back on, a short run and WOOOOUZA what s difference new tires make. Rally ready eh?
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

AH yes the xj6 ..the top yoke or triple tree from one of those fits onto the fj forks you only have to make up a spacer underneath it as it has a recess where as the fj yoke is flat , Ive got one my fj12 3xw for the few yrs with no complaints :)
