What Happened next

After the trip (Two pegs to Patagonia) had ended, the bikes came home (with us).
Seeing as how they (especially mine) had surpassed all expectations I thought I'd track how the Pegs get on back in the damp, cold Northern Hemisphere. The obvious thing to do would be to give them a full strip down and a service, but they have had to do with oil and filter and a jet wash.

My battle scared bike was roped in as my major transport so Jean could use the car for work. This meant my XJR1300 and XJ900F have stayed in the back of the garage, unused and unloved. I'm beginning to wonder if something is wrong with me as I have had no urge to get them on the road and ride them....... yet.

I noticed the small "wing-lets" on Jean's Peg that hold the plastics on and had been used a stabilising point for the panniers had broken off, so the panniers were taken off for a re-weld.Winglets
Not that I have got around to having the welds done yet.
