@twin, Jules took this picture just before I set off and then I posted the picture upon my return.
Cheers, I had a blast

Also rode all day today,my favorite riding weather. Start temps in the mid 40s,quickly warming up to the 50s topping out in the low 60s. The reason I got involved with Iron Heart in the first place was to have great jeans to ride in a varied temperature range. Had chaps on in the morning.

Cheers buddy. I'm sure you'd love it even more if you took it out for a blast

Sexy AF: Auto Fabrica's SR500 is a design masterpiece

Admittedly, I know next to nothing about motorcycles, so forgive the potentially dumb question- wouldn't the exhaust burn your thigh and butt routed that way?

[Graeme]

There's a heat shield on the pipe, it's the layer (or layers) of metal wrapping it. That should keep your thigh a bit cooler, but I imagine it'd still get quite hot.

Yes. Yes it would.
The air would stink of scorched hipster.

woman hits me at a roundabout. bike got a little scratched and a broken mirror but my 666UHR got off well. 

[Graeme]

Glad that you're OK @louisbosco, roundabouts can be treacherous. The bike can always be repaired.

So did the UHRs get some interesting fades from the experience?

[louisbosco]

thanks @Graeme  sadly, no. all i got was this. not that i wanna put it to the test again though… 

the bike's alright to ride off still. i had an english instructor before, he did say, australian drivers are the worst at a roundabout.

[Graeme]

@louisbosco I've found the driving standard in Australia to be pretty bad.

I got knocked off on a roundabout once myself, and I've been a bit nervous on them since. Had a couple of close calls when people weren't paying attention on them too. I agree that it's not something you want to repeat.

That's a lot of denim.
