Nah I'd be scared it would fly away.

Like this. All by bikes have been fine but each to their own.

you not afraid it will fall off?

I'm assuming that it is at least to some degree spring loaded, so its applying pressure.

I've considered getting a handlebar bag for this exact use case though - just don't trust the average Saffa to not want to steal the bag off my bike - having had my car broken into 3 fscking times this year.

Rather get the bolt-into place tank bag jobs like SW Motech and others sell.

I will be riding at 10kms per hour from the boom to the parking. I don't think it will fall off.

Seems like a better idea. I'll check it out. Thanks!

I'm thinking of getting a micro tankbag, might be good for driveway remote, earplugs, card for toll gate, etc too. But I'm undecided, might just end up being something I hardly use and just more work fitting, removing, storing etc.

What I often seen on the older riders at get togethers is a fanny pack clipped around the handle bars facing the rider, when they arrive or dont like the area they simply unclip it and around the waist it goes.

Now that is a practical option, will consider it. Also once I'm off the bike, I can just empty the contents into my pockets, and the fanny-pack can be put into the panniers.

P.S. I like your name, its what a GF used to call me when we were still in the honeymoon phase.

My wife still has nicknames for me. Although, it's things like D00s, Dr0l and the like..

my bike didn't start today - battery seems flat, after I rode yesterday.... fVck!
KTM 1290 adventure and OEM is a YUASA YTZ14S 11.2Ah, which lasted about 2.5 years and was replaced with a Motobatt MBTX9U about a year ago :-( - the Motobatt seemed a bit under powered from day1..

Any tips on what and where to get a good battery in Pta/Centurion area?

Is this you?

I generally don’t like the look of the newer KTM’s but probably the more off-road leaning ones because that looks damn sexy.

Maybe the colour also helps.

Merry Christmas to me, Bike fell in the driveway, my fault though. Bike wasn't leaned over enough due to uneven brick driveway.
fell and broke the mirror and the footpeg, both broke at the loops where bolts go through so hope of repair is very low.

It fell to the right while i was standing on the left so no hope of catching or even setting down slowly.

So anyone know where i can get Kawasaki ER6 spares?

I would imagine any Kawasaki or Suzuki dealer, but you can often get great stuff from the Chinese via Banggood etc.

Probably best you couldn’t catch it. I almost dropped the RS the other day and instinctively just caught it and I pulled a muscle or two and sore for days.

Sent out a bunch of emails to every listed dealer on kawasaki's website, checked amazon found a set of mirror for $30 not sure about shipping since i don't have an account to log in yet.
So angry with myself.
