Hi All, great to have our Public Forum back online and well done to JonO and the others who contributed to making it so!!
Well Folks, poor old Elsie's slippers were looking a little threadbare and worn so I thought I would treat her to a makeover.
The old boot( car tyre) after contributing many, many kilometres of tireless wear(excuse the pun) has now been relegated to the "Old Boots" home where she can rot in peace!!
I replaced her with the Michelin Pilot 5 that Bemer Dave so kindly donated to me a couple of years ago! Thanks Dave
I called into the haberdashery department, Ground Floor at Munich Motorcycles and picked a new Rear Rotor (Garter), bolts (suspenders) and Brake pads (never you mind!!) and these were eventually adorning the Chassis (mmmm) which brightened and gave a refreshing look to Elsie's rather gorgeous derriere, at 42psi it's nice firm and rounded
And today I propped up Elsie's front suspension which was sagging when I removed her support (tyre) and replaced it also with a new Michelin Pilot 5 complete with sprules.
I boosted her bust up to 36psi and I reckon now she would give any young BM a run for their money
You can check her out on Sunday folks but mind, she is particular about who handles her AND............... Mind your language!!

New slippers for Elsie!!
"I love a sunburnt country, a land of sweeping plains.
Of rugged mountain ranges, of droughts and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons, I love her jeweled sea.
Her beauty and her terror, the wide brown land for me."
