Hi there

Nice RR, really enjoyed it.
Great to see that your son enjoyed the dirt and the bonding time.
Strange that the brakes gave you some problems there as we had the same. Me (klr) and brother in-law (bmw 650 f) did a trip Fish Hoek to Wupperthal and back and his brakes also started to give problems close to Wupperthal . We even bought some brake fluid to have some in case. Stopped for something to eat at Wupperthal and then after lunch his brakes were fine again. Never gave him a days problems after that.

Yep - really weird......... once the bike rested at the Oasis....... the back brake was fine again.........  :eek7: I read afterwards of the f650.com site that the heat could also affect the brake fluid....?

I suspect that thefluid might need replacing. Bought some DOT4 and will flush and replace. Other than that - the bike's running like a dream.

Beautiful bike you bought there Goose. :deal: :drif:
Most be special and scary to do a trip with one's kid.

Chris - yep mate - nice bike indeed......... but it was indeed stressfull. The Sena COMMS worked a treat and it was great to hear his comments and he definitely listened to advice..... but when in front - I found I was stressed like anything - constantly watching the mirrors to keep an eye on his progress and the ever present headlight...  :biggrin:

He also seemed to have recovered fantastically after that bad accident in 2012........... so it can only get better from here.


Thanks for all the positive and nice comments on the RR.......... :thumleft:













 
Very nice RR Goose.  :thumleft:

Yeah, must have been a very special ride with your son.

Glad I could save his bike from damage in that fall.  :lol8:
