Yep, just as you described it. I concentrated so hard on not pissing my pants I accidentally farted and it was hideous. I gave a disapproving look at the old Spanish lady sitting next to me. Age is no barrier to me.7 points

My mate was doing a trail ride up on the England/Wales border and I was keen for a ride. I set off at 07.30 tad it was a tad chilly, once I got over the Severn Bridge I went up the Wye Valley to encounter freezing fog. This wasn't pleasant and by time I got to the meeting point I was frozen. Thank god it was a cafe , and a bacon roll and two cups of coffee soon revived me . Gaz and Phil were on fairly big bikes (KTM690 and Husqvarna 701) and I was supposed to be on my DR650 but i knew the lanes would be challenging so I took the WR250 and on the first lane I knew I'd made the right choice. it was slippery everywhere and as I followed the two fishtailing bikes in front of me I had much less of a wrestle........... The order of the day turned out to be fallen trees, Gaz had expected this after storm Darragh last week and had brought his saw with him. Here's Phil getting stuck in with the saw ............ While I stood around taking photos and cleaned my safety glasses ...... Succcess.............. We then encountered a bigger jobbie later on but manage to saw some branches off and make our way past ........ After having to turn back on one trail as there were multiple trees down we headed up onto higher ground. This is 'water breaks its neck' a trail that was closed for many years and on that I hadn't ridden for at least 15 years . It was glorious up there and made it worth the effort .4 points

Given the concern regarding the warning stickers, I probably shouldn't go into detail on what effects the ECU reflash will have on the bike, especially in second gear.4 points

That's a long ride on the 250 Bob or did you @Six30 it to the start point Plenty of tree clearing posts on the TRF group page this last few weeks, trees down everywhere. The byway around Claerwen res was closed because of a land slide not sure if it's open again yet and all the byways around Brechfa are closed due to fallen trees if your thinking of heading that way https://www.facebook.com/story.php/?story_fbid=593026863377649&id=100080110217436&_rdr1 point

I've been looking at car stereos for the Sharan as it crashes on a regular basis and half the touch screen doesn't work. An easy task you'd think but for the VWs can bus system to operate the steering wheel controls and park sensor functions. My eyes are aching compering different models. I've sent a few emails out to try and get the best bundle deals. Now for some lager to ease my troubled soul.1 point

If you care, bike’s back home, and turns out the leak wasn’t leaking anymore, it was just residual oil that was still inside the swinging arm. New seal was still put in now using the proper tool to have it aligned to spec, and we’re golden. I very much wish to go on a two day ride to Alentejo and maybe Algarve before Christmas, but still not sure I’ll be able to.1 point
