    Installed tank protection pads...purchased from AliExpress...very cheap...good strong adhesive and very precise cut...took.a.smallish ride to check its efficacy and it certainly offers very good grip...finally protection for the fuel tank from my knee and shin guards...peace of mind while riding...going to meet some school friends tomorrow in Dehradun, my home town...hope the pads hold in strong wind...Click image for larger version

        One added benefit of the termi...the ground clearance seems to have increased...not been scraping any speed breakers even at speeds...the same ones that i bumped every time I encountered...no matter what speed...bonus indeed...

            Went through your post. You have used your bike for good, people keep it parked mostly.
            That's the way it should be. Good to see fellow seafarer in the group and riding hard.
            I have been riding for over a decade now, but as of now stuck on board because of COVID-19.
            Let's see when can I get balk and ride again
            Itching for it

                There is one more twist in the tail, I signed off in Turkey and was not allowed to board the flight. So waited few days in a hotel and then transferred on another vessel from our own company. Doing my second contract in a row :P

                      That's such an old thread :P. I stopped it mid way as in those days there was no internet on board.
                      Enduro has lot of tales to tell..... I would have to start a thread to tell those long list of stories. This time when I get back home I am doing it.
                      Also might get a third soon
