Re: 2014-2020 Headlight Guard

I'm on my 2nd Slipstream one, the first succumbed to a large stone that fell off the back of a gravel wagon. I saw it bouncing off the road it hit the protector square on taking a large chunk out of it. Thankfully the headlight was unmarked. To me an absolute essential on an RT with its huge headlig...

Farkle for my RT

Simplon Pass 2023

After a fantastic trip to the Bol d'Or in September 23 I came home via Italy and Switzerland.

The money shot for me was on the Simplon Pass, it's now my PC desktop at work to remind me why I'm sitting at a desk :D
