Hello,
and thank you all for such a nice welcome!
I also posted a few images of my Bird in an own Member-album!
Also, there are images of my ideas for saddlebags. As I mentioned, there will be a six week nomadic vacation...
I'm not into studs and stuff, I want it clean and simple. Preferrably brown, as I think it would look better on my green/champagne bike. I have a pair of small leather pouches, originally containing dial-sets for swedish army field telephone m/37, which got the right look but wrong size...
My plan is to let a leather craftsman make a pair for me in the same fashion. A little photoshopping resulted in a picture what it would look like. Exactly what I want!
There is a sissy/luggage rack on its way too. I figured that sissy would be a nice thing because when my grandma realised I had got a Triumph, she threatened not to talk to me again if I wouldn't take her for a ride... :-D And I want to make shure the little lady doesn't fall off...
Then I've lost my first bolt...
I explored a few unexplored small roads in the rural areas northwest from here, and... damn, they were bumpy! Now one of the bolts holding my left cooler side-plate is missing. I went over the bike with a hex bit, tightened everything up to make sure I won't lose more parts...
The weather last week was excellent. Excellent for this time of the year in this part of the world... +16C at 23:30! I spent most of my free awake time as well as lunch outdoors... Now it's back to normal; +5C at noon, but that won't keep me from driving... An extra layer of underwear and it's all okay.
Then, I wonder one more thing...
A motorcycle, is it a he or a she?
I still wonder what to call it. If it's a she, it will be "Lucrezia"...
Keep flying low!
