  1. I've been past the Château Quéribus a few times, but never took the road up to it, so I thought that it would be a nice little run on the new bike. I headed around the Narbonne northern ring road as usual and took my normal route up and across past the Abbaye Fontfroide. It was slightly cloudy when I set off, but it was blowing a hoolie! On the road past Fontfroide I was getting knocked about by the wind and I did seriously consider calling it a day and head back home, but I decided to persevere and carried on. I turned off that road at Thézan-des-Corbières and headed west. The wind was now behind me, so it wasn't so much of a problem then. I was trying to get tuned into the new bike, which rides and handles quite different to the Scrambler. I noticed also that the Michelin Anakee's on it don't tramline like the Dunlops did on the Scrambler. The ride is also more plush on this bike, but it holds its line pretty well through the twisties. My route took me through Durban-Corbières, Villeneuve-les-Corbières and Tuchan, so I passed by the Château d'Aguilar before turning off and heading up the gorge near Padern and then on to Cucugnan, where the turning up to the Château Quéribus is. The road twists up the side of the hills there before you reach the road that takes you up to the castle carpark. The road up to the carpark is pretty narrow and there's a couple of nice, tight hairpins up there. The carpark was not too busy, so I stopped for a couple of pictures and then went down the same access road. I stopped at the junction of the main road for a coffee from my flask that I'd taken with me. The wind was howling across there and I ended up wearing more coffee than I drank. I was fearful of the bike getting blown over too, so I decided to just head back by the same route and save further exploration for some less windy days! I was pleased how the bike felt and performed. I was starting to get tuned into it by the return journey.

  3. I think you need to widen your criteria. Forget all this adventure bike stuff and get something daft as fuck, fast as fuck and something that says you don’t give a………you get the idea Pete. Get a naked bike.

  33. When I bought my Transalp, a long time ago. My dealership had some issues with some of the 125cc coming from Italy. Usually missing stickers, but this one time a bike wouldn’t start before the client came to pick it up. Engine was spinning like mad though. Bike simply came fully assembled but no piston and connecting rod

  35. It's in the Murcia province, and apparently it never had electricity or water! The last inhabitants left in 1985. First time out for a month......the bike needed a run! This is why a top box is essential here..... You lot would shit yourselves in places like this...... Would you go in? Can't get access inside to many of them...... Access to it isn't too bad..... No idea how this happened......but this pic came out like this for some reason? Weird......maybe there's ghosts in this place or something.? Doesn't bother me of course! In fact, I wish I could get something like that on film! Anyway......there it is! Something else for you casuals to aspire to!

  44. It was Chloe's idea, as she is obsessed with red and black, so anything bike related that is red and black on Temu may end up on that bike.
