I was thinking of the high fender kit as you say no point if your staying away from the boggy stuff On a seperate note i'm waiting for you to recreate this simple maneuver lol

We are in phase 4, defunded the police, burned the cities to the ground, and establisded unicorn farts as currency.

The rest of the week looks pretty crap weather wise so I decided to get out for a short ride on the T700 once I'd finished the shopping ? So as Wales is still out of bounds I decided to ride some back roads in Somerset, a couple of trails , dip my toe into Dorset and then head back home. The roads are still fairly quiet if you stay off the main routes , just a few quarry lorries to get past around Frome. After crossing the A361 at Nunney, I made my way up Gare Hill, through the forest and onto the first couple of trails. The trails are still pretty dry, not much mud about at all which suited me fine as it was only my second time off road on the Yam.... I came across this structure in a field just off the lane, it looks like some sort of old crop store, I can't imagine it was for livestock as the roof would be much lower... I pressed onto the next lane before coming out onto the B3092........ After passing through Bourton I was now in Dorset and went further south to Fifehead Magdalen. Here I turned west and over the River Cale which was really low...... Now I started to head north and cut through the back roads to avoid the traffic in Wincanton and Castle Cary, after passing through Bruton I stopped at the top of the hill near Milton Clevedon to have my sandwiches and coffee from the flask. At the bottom of the hill is what looks like an old drove road, these were used in the past to drive cattle, sheep etc to market. You can tell it's a drove because of the width between the fences............ Once I got to the top of the hill I crossed the A361 again but heading north this time and made my way across the Mendips to Wells. At Wells I continued across the Mendips until I dropped down to Chew Valley lake where I stopped to take some more coffee from my flask..... It was only 15 miles to home from here so I skirted around the very edge of Bath and then back home. It was a good ride and I just get more and more impressed by this bike everytime I ride it

Great stuff, Bob. Bike looks great on those trails, sure enough it'll feel like a pig when going through the kind of mud you're used to taking lighter bikes on proper knobbies on. I have great admiration for guys who can use a big bike to do stuff like the trial's riding type stuff shown above, that shows real skill. I loose all confidence when on the GS and the nice hard dirt turns to sandy trails. Soft ground just makes me wimp out, I'd like to say it comes from not wanting to damage the bike but in fact it comes from not knowing what to do with it on soft terrain, may take a class one of these days when stuff opens up again.

What i see is a bucket load of spare klr parts on sleaze bay! KLR's will live into the afterlife while the only problem with GS's is with the assholes who ride them! Banned from ADVrider 1.0! lol

Looks like the wheelie wasn't the problem. The landing of said wheelie might have caused an issue thoguh....

I've no idea Pete but when they do I shall be reminding anyone who stops me that my auntie lived in Ebbw Vale or I may get lynched ?

We're now into Phase 3 in our region of Spain so we've got mobility across all the provinces of Andalucia. So we're getting there!

Yes, still waiting for borders to reopen. Managed to scrape some MT07 pegs around the northern twisties last week though, so not hating life too much ?

when your selling products to Harley owners you only have to answer yes to two questions for a almost guaranteed sale Is it shiny and is it loud.
