Took the Tiger out on some dirt roads in teaching/coaching some newbees on the tips and tricks of offraoding their Tigers.
As I briefed the participants the roads were doable (but challenging) on streetroads, I kept my Anakee reartire mounted. Had lots of fun sliding
also installed a GIVI...

day out on the German Eifel and Haute Fagnes region
it was a very wet day, but enjoyed a solo ride out travelling east of Sankt Vith in the German Eifel and Haute Fagnes reqion. At some point I decided to ignore a roadworks deviation and found myself challenged...but overcame the obstacles with...

It started sunny and promising
May 6th: went for a short ride and had some jumping fun, but learned that jumping with a short tailtidy is not without risks
May 7th: went with family to...
going to get dirty again
mounted my knobby wheels. So happy now with two sets of wheels. Roadie set with Michelin AnakeeIII, offroadie set with Conti TKC

For my daughter, now studying kindergarten-coach, she was asked to build a toy for 0-2,5y old to stimulate basic handgrip (balls) and colour selection.
So we came up with this, with colour matching ping pong balls
Wall sidings
not my mancave but more importnat was to finally mount some metal sidings to my outer South West wall. As the neighbours did not built the same depth as my house, this section of my outer wall was unprotected. It took me a two day to remove all old temporary protection, which was...
