Hey you should embrace your heritage you can't help the alure of select farm animals its in your DNA

His Welsh heritage coming to the fore.

Either that or there's a sheep just out of shot that he's just been caught with

I think this is a similar bike, no idea how much fuel it used, but I wasn't that keen on riding the thing, there seemed to be a very narrow rev range where the engine seemed happy and it never matched the speed I was doing whatever gear I put it in. Rest of it was okay though.

9 years 13 days before I was born, am I making you feel old yet

They run best right before they blow up, really cool...

Sounds like gimp envy to me.

Casual.

Mine was Twin spark , 2005. Same as this..............

Fucked you are, every small engine will be a nightmare to keep running after you start using that chit. Mark my words, its to make you want to go electric.

Good shout, right off to bed now as I'm up for 4.30am for work the next 2 days oh what joy

Blame Bender's Bitch!

How did we get from E10 fuel to sheep shagging? And why does Ad Blue smell of piss?

Did you do that pile of shit behind you?

Dust does grow thick on stationary objects i suppose

Read it and weep slapheads!

Before it's said..........who am I to talk...

That's what it is i didn't want to mention it i thought it was bed fluff

I can see the resemblance.

Touring on small country roads my bike is good for up to 60mpg. It doesn’t really care if I’m carrying luggage or not, and riding sporty doesn’t really affect it much either. Carrying a passenger also didn’t seem to affect it, but I was more gentle if with a passenger. However, motorways that goes to between 45 to 40mpg.

You posh twat. mine came in kit form, i bought it from some guy all in cardboard boxes and had to build it myself the only thing new was the seat which he said cost £300 which is less than what i paid him for the whole bike

August 1st 1976......brand new F1. £1067 otr. OAX 590R bought from Leslie Griffiths Motorcycles in Bridgend!

Good old Honda my oldest bike is 1993

Far superior to Bus envy though , yours leaves a lot to be desired

What tym said. It's when you leave a bike standing for a while that you can have issues, otherwise it's no big deal if it's used frequently. After next month all of my bikes could be left standing for up to 6 months so I will be putting fuel stabilizer in all of them.

Just checked and apparently E5 is expected to be removed from the pumps in September 2026. But only the 97 octane version! So we should get another 5 years!

What year was it Bob? Cos the engine was upgraded in 2004 to the twin spark........and the G series has the same engine as the final F model in 2007. Parts are the same as that one! Except in @Buckster's opinion of course.......apparently mine has some POS Chinese version slung into it from the back of a rickshaw. No doubt prior to that it was stored in a paddy field! Just outside the Wuhan Lab! He's unable to verify any of that of course......as that would require photographs! And that's a bridge too far!

Im in

Saturdays ride was going to be just a reccy ride for me on my own to check out a few dirt tracks i hadn't ridden before just outside the Llandovery area, i advertised the ride on the TRF forum to see if one or two fancied a day out and before i new it there was seven of us so ended up having to plot a route i already new. Start time was an early one for me 08:30 and we were meeting the seventh member on route. Plan was a road ride to Sennybridge area which was about 30 miles or an hour away on the roads we were taking. Two of the lads that turned up were on two strokes i didn't fancy the road work on those i had explained before hand how much there was they said they were ok with it so after introductions and a few rules of the ride explained off we went. Headed up the Cynon valley to Penderyn and then Ystradfellte and onto the devils elbow to meet up with the seventh member of our group Here's a stock a photo of the devils elbow A couple of miles after this we were onto the first of the trails and the road work was soon forgotten This is a bit of a tough one plenty of fails here i was lucky enough to see it all Jason here having a breather very new to this stuff he went home early on the last ride with me but he was i'll LOL Steve concentrating hard But not happy with just riding the bike he throws it to the ground and decides to do some weight training as well Even the two stroke boys found it a challenge Steve gets going again for the whole of 5 yards and he's down but still smiling Andrew on the mighty DRZ400 And Paul bringing up the rear finding it much easier on his CRF250L than his CRF450L Stopped for fuel in Sennybridge as the KTM two stroke needed fuel every 40 to 50 miles, done a few easy lanes after but no photos on those . The next eventful lane i know as Lampkin lane named after Dougie Lampkin an ex world trials champion due to how difficult it is but we were going down it so no problem. At the bottom is a small river crossing with a very slippery base Steve finds out just how slippery it is and Unfortunately Steve breaks his leg in the fall Luckily there was a mechanic there with a set of Allan keys to fix it So after the laughter stopped and with Steve rebuilt we took on the exit from the lane Almost got run over trying to video fucking two stroke riders don't give a shit LOL Next up was a steep climb, last time i done it it was wet today was easy compared to then everyone made it ok which was disappointing LOL From here there were a few more lanes with no photos taken, then into Llandovery for the two strokes to fuel up and a sandwich for ourselves Heading out west of Llandovery and done a few lanes I've not done before and onto another little stream which i forgot to mention was a little deeper than it looked LOL Stopped for a breather here Jason thoroughly enjoying himself testing the water resistance of his new boots There was a few more uneventful lanes with no photos before we were on the route home Stopped here on the roman road waiting for the others to catch up Steve still full of energy, when they did catch up the lad on the KTM two stroke had binned it twice behind us luckily only had some sore ribs After the roman road a few of us decided to check out the famous motel hill by going down it isn't any better than i remember this was taken just after Andrew had picked his bike up just doesn't show how steep it is No more photos from here, stopped to fill the two strokes up again in Sennybridge before the road ride home. I think everyone enjoyed themselves they were all still smiling and alive when i left them so that's a good sign

I have a life?

No......don't do that! If I ever encounter traffic I just piss past everything. Vehicles in front ruin my video!

That's why he's still got the brush it's full of what he used to call hair

Tis a shame you have no hair to brush though eh

80,000 deaths in spain , 128,000 in uk , 22 million more people here than in Spain, is that a lot different percentage wise ???

We've got a hairbrush in the kitchen drawer that's older than you!

I was gutted I bought it a month later.......cos Suzuki launched the GS750 and it was a far better bike!

Thats prob more down to carb icing than anything else.

I asked about it on ButtRider and I got this answer. "BMW specify all models going back many many years are compatible with E10, that includes all year models of the 650GS, that means no issues with plastics, fuel lines, seals etc so dont pay any attention to any scare stories that may be floating around, they are just misinformation I have been using Oz E10 RON 95 in my single spark Dakar for over 5 years but I have the BMSC programmed for RON95 which cant be done on the dual spark models as there is no firmware for RON95, the single spark RON91 did not like E10 RON91, it seemed to get grumpy round town. I would expect the dual spark RON91 firmware to be a lot better than the single spark firmware so I would not expect any issues to arise."

Bigger land area less population.

The scoot has a plastic tank.....so I may encounter problems.

Really , your way behind our there … that’s what you get for living under the EU I’m afraid old boy .

30+ years you must have a square arse.

You were warned it would send you blind!.

We should get that guy to join here, he seems to be a better class of gimp.

Looks like you have all the kit for a good grow operation, just saying. Connecticut just legalized weed and i have 50 or so spare acres to play with.

Had this German pfizer vaccine about 10 minutes and so far so good, although I now have a strong dislike for Jews and the urge to invade Poland
