At first I wasn't too keen on this Tri colour scheme, I really wanted version with mostly white, but it grew on me. Plus I think it will help get noticed on the road, we can only hope! Funny you mention the cactus, I was just thinking I will have to resume my search as all the garden centres...

Thanks, I'll go through it. One thing which would be nice is a lock for the ride modes. I've accidentally swapped modes mid ride and was WTF.

Dude so right, soo many buttons. I have no idea what the logic is behind these controls. The user manual also is terrible. Every feature refers you to another page in the book. I'm getting use to it but... jebus!

Thanks, I honestly think you influenced my interest in the QS when I heard you had it on the Duc, then did some research on it, and for this bike. It could be a lot of fun :devilish:

Snow city, same place I got the vStrom, they gave me a decent price for the trade and a bit of a discount. I saw the same sales agent at the motorcycle show and we got talking, all went very easy. I reached out to GP bikes as well, but honestly they kept asking me a bunch of dumb questions, so I...

Thanks! Honestly me either, but things just happened. Plus I had the vStrom perfectly setup for me... But this is the bike I really wanted, couldn't resist!

Thanks! No stand yet, but will be looking for it very soon. Haha, I forgot to mention, yes this is the manual version, good eye! I don't think I am ready for DCT. I know you liked it, so did a lot of other people.... but... I do have plans for the quick shifter ;)

You are totally right, I was thinking the centre stand IS the first thing I should get, will make maintenance much easier. I can't event check the oil correctly without putting the bike upright. Then maybe the windshield, I need a bit more height to make it perfect.

Thanks, yeah should be fun this year. I have a feeling @Evoex is going the other way, no bike! Yet to be revealed!

Thanks!

Lol, thanks, so you still like your AT?

Most phones over the past years have dual eSims for this purpose. I use the 2nd one on my iphone as a travel number so I can make local call aboard. Pretty sure there are apps to purchase a 2nd eSim without having to go to your mobile network provider.

Might as well put this out there, since a few of us have so far this year. My new ride, 2026 Honda Africa Twin ES! Whoohoo! :giggle: (y) Only been out on a few test rides to get familiar with the bike. So far so good. Break in is only 500k. Then first service at 1000km. Has almost...

A few weeks ago I took advantage of the warm up we had and sowed some seeds. Just checked and the animals haven't eaten them yet, and I'm starting to see some poke through the dirt. I hope it work out.

I think you missed my earlier reply in the thread about this. Yeah not sure if I can make it work with the city.

Thanks Mike appreciate it! (y)

Totally forgot about burger night... stupid plumbing issue

Update: Called around to some plumbers, the last 2 guys I called seem to be the best with both knowledge and pricing. The others were a bit sketchy with extra charges (machine charge), or wanting to do a site visit then do estimate (probably exorbitant pricing).

Thanks Mike, yeah it does connect to sanitary. The city did dye testing last year because someone in the neighbourhood was contaminating the storm line. Not me, some idiot up the street connected a toilet to the wrong line. I saw the gobbler on Amazon, but it seems none of the regular retail...
