Continuing - So what did you do to your bike today...?

[Sweaty]

Good to hear you had a good time in Ireland Fishy 

[T 24]

I didn't do anything to my bike, but to my wifes XJR yes. She almost lost her right side end can on motorway. Those two allen screws that are holding exhaust hanger dropped. Flagline rope can fix almost everything.

A lucky escape and fix there @T 24

Very lucky as I doubt you'd find a replacement in as good condition if it had came off it would have been very damaged

I would have thought Triumph would have fitted breakdown lights as standard

775 miles, that's a good run Fishy. Bike don't look too bad for that distance, or did you get rained on, which washed the first lot off?

It did rain - after all, there's a good reason they call it the Emerald Isle - but not enough to shift the bugs. I must admit I didn't think before posting the pic, there are people on this site who live in places where the bugs are big enough to appear on radar.

Here ya go Fishy. NZ Giant Weta, one of the biggest insects on the planet.
More likely to find one in your helmet or boots than on your headlamp. fortunately they don't fly.

I think they are too bloody heavy to fly, by the look of them. You wouldn't be wiping that off your headlight - you'd be buying a new headlight.
