      New lid. I still like the Shoei, but this is definitely a different look.

              Excuse the question, but is no one into choppers? Hardtail, Sportster tank, springer fender, K&Q seat, sissy bar. Choppers.

                I can appreciate choppers and Harley's, but I prefer the functionality of more modern bikes.  I commute by MC 9 months out of the year.  Maybe a second project bike in the future.

                  The only type of choppers I like are the ones Indian Larry made. USABLE choppers. I hate raked out choppers.

                    MCN has a gallery of photos from Wheels and Waves. I think that there are eighty pictures, so if you want to waste some time looking at bikes…

                      Pinion, makers of The Iron Heart watch asked me if I could pull a string or two and get them a bike on the cheap.

                      I did and this is what they did with it.

                          The Pinion XSR700 came up on my Facebook earlier. I like it, a lot. 😘

                            But someone should tell Piers that the new Bell Bullitt in candy blue would sit much better with the bike than the sparkle finish of his current lid. 🙂

                              That Pinion bike is a beaut!  Perfect mix of vintage look and modern bits.  The seat is a work of art IMO.  Maybe it is the photo, but the headlight doesn't look real.  I don't think I've seen one like that before.

                                I quite like the Pinion, but for me the LED rear light is horrible and it needs a tail tidy straight away.

                                  I saw the new Sportster Roadster today.

                                  It's a good looking machine. Harley have got around to fitting upside-down forks and dual brake discs too. The seat height is up a few inches compared to some of the other Sportsters, because the shocks at the rear are taller. Should give it more lean angle.

                                  Being of a leggy persuasion, I don't get on with Sportsters, but fans of the model should definitely check it out.

                                      I think that it's a US bike. The Street 500 and 750 are the Indian made in India models.

                                          Just signed up for driving school and I am already annoyed because I have to wear shitty but safe bike-gear, hopefully some of my riding friends can borrow me some stuff.

                                            Wearing a borrowed set of garish textiles isn't the end of the world. No one will recognise you with a full-face helmet on. 😉

                                            If you're looking at getting a bike soon, then maybe it's worth about investing in some gear. Rev'it does the Urban range, Rokker do high-end biker denim, and some of the Icon 1000 collection is Mad Max influenced. Knox do an armour and jacket layering system as their Studio Collection, which looks a good idea.

                                            Urban Rider and The Café Racer both stock less technical looking gear. But you might want to cross-check prices against somewhere like FC Moto or Louis to see whether it's cheaper in Germany.
