Nice pictures , all of you
Great photos! thanks for sharing!Took a trip to Norway for some bird photography a couple of days ago ( Fratercula arctica ) and my companion was my 2018 Raid Edition.
Was using a small tent and had a lot of photo gear with me also. Wonderful bike and very comfy on longer trips due to the fact that I can stand up and ride and rest my back sometimes.
That's generally what our Norwegian roads and sceneries are like. We're truly spoiled in being able to instead of riding our own back road, to daydream about far-off destinations or legendary rides.Took a trip to Norway for some bird photography a couple of days ago ( Fratercula arctica ) and my companion was my 2018 Raid Edition.

That bike LOOKS like it is sitting straight up. Like a gust of wind would topple it. Optical illusion? The ST1300 fell on my foot when I opened the saddlebag, and it didn't look that upright. My Tenere leans at about a 70 degree angle. (but I do have the preload set @ 2 helmets) Gorgeous picture regardless.
The suspension on these bikes is too soft. When loaded down for a long trip like I was on I had the preload at the max and still had to be careful where I parked. As it turned out about a week after that picture was taken my bike was knocked over by a strong gust of wind in Grants Pass OR. It damaged my RH pannier and bent the racks, as well as scratching the crash bars on the right side. I replaced the pannier, removed the racks and straightened them out as soon as I got home a couple days ago. Yesterday I filed down the deepest scratches on the crash bars and then wet sanded them before finishing off with 3 coats of satin black rust paint. They look like new again. There is a thread on here about suppliers of stiffer springs for the rear and I think I will get one. Here are my bars after the repair last night.That bike LOOKS like it is sitting straight up.

That’s what I thought, I love the fact that it’s clear not tinted.Vstream Tour
