I thought it was the stocker, came on the bike . I'll have a close look at it tomorrow if it is dry, see if there are any identifying marks.

peteinpa Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) What a difference a week makes. 😡 GRRR! It's been raining and heavy fog now for 24 hours. High of 50F. Forecast is not good either! I HATE the end of riding season! Oh well, pull it in the basement for farkle and maintenance season.

It looks bigger than most. DITO I have the Pyramid extension that works very well an cost me at a steal like $35 for real carbon...but I'd like to see a side view to see how far back Stew's goes. The Pyramid's tip goes just past the axle. It looks like Stew's hugger covers the gaps at the swingarm that on the stocker (well forward of my extension) need to be sealed to protect the shock.

I stopped at a lovely little spot called Kiamba just North of Nambour on the Sunshine Coast AU. Weather warm, very quiet and no-one around. Time to enjoy the the serenity. 🙂 Your makin me sick... Well at least this winter I won't have the snow throwers crammed in my shop for the first time, as with L4~6 fusion on 2020-11-30, I'm hiring a service to clear the white stuff. Should be good to go come spring and be able to give each bike their turn on the lift in my (had to stick it back to you somehow) heated, air conditioned, carpeted, frig, wifi, tunes shop to maintain and farkle in during the dark time. We can get 3 feet overnight but global warming has limited that 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't my intention 🙂 We don't get any of that white stuff around these parts at any time. While I pay to go to places that have snow for novelty/holiday purposes, I can only imagine what living with it for extended periods of time must be like. Couple that with short days which makes mo'bike riding right out of the question...... unless you're @Wintersdark of course! 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wintersdark Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Man, if it never snowed, I'd be out on my bike every day. As it stands, I still have to park it when it's actually snowing, in case we get stuff like that. Short days, though? Darkness puts riding out of the question? Do you Aussies not have headlights? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Photo's of the hugger on my bike for you guys. I couldn't find any identifying marks on it at all (pre ride!) , and sorry, I have no idea if it is a stock 2015 one or not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really just meant the whole super cold winter thing and everything that goes with that. I can only imagine that would make for 'ordinary' riding conditions. The upside is that there is the opportunity to have the bike in pieces servicing it and not have the worry that you're missing out on some good riding weather. 🙂 I'm trying to be 'Glass half full'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also in the southern hemisphere, we get an hour of snow every ten years on average and where I live, 26°08’S, 1,800 metres above sea level we get no rain at all from end of April to September. Other parts of the country have horrible cold wet winters and snow every year. It might drop below freezing at night but can get into the 20s C during the day in winter. Perfect for year round riding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, what you experience weather wise sounds great though. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Living the dream lads n lassies, living the dream..... Damp, 40f , quiet roads. What a brilliant wee ride I've had, about 2 hours of back roads, with a diversion to a traditional Scottish snackery (Greggs ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
