If there was an award for CAOTY you'd win it every time

That's exactly how I feel when I go in Fowlers Fred, can't think of any new bike that excites me . Where is that place ?

It's feckin 'orrible

Don't buy a euro5 though big lump of a cat on the exhaust dowpipes now and heavier with no extra power

Why are so many of those great houses unoccupied , is there a lot of unemployment there or are they just too costly to renovate ?

Suck it up screen tart

Ah yes , I can remember you saying that now. I removed that guard on mine

Blah blah

They're a great road bike , I know the press will make you think they're just for off road but that's not the case imo. The engine is a stonker and it makes even more sense in the MT-07.

So after my two day trail ride I confirmed to myself that the Rally (CRF250 RLA) needs some attention to the rear shock. First of all it needed a good clean so off with the bodywork and get on with it........... Bodywork drying in the sun......... Found some more pebbles I also found this, a good illustration why you need to keep fettling a trail bike. Luckily I didn't lost the bolt and it's been loctited back in now .......... So onto the main job, getting the rear shock out. Rear wheel out , remove shock guard , remove battery to give room to get at the top mount bolt on the shock .......... and the shock is out. I'll take it into work tomorrow and give it a clean in the parts cleaner to see what need to be done. It's five years old now and the rebound adjuster is seized so I'll have to see if it's worth rebuilding or get a new shock............

You're forgetting about the T700

He's a feckin shit angler then

Silly billy, I could have ridden a road bike up there (barges excepted) . It's not as if it was wet or muddy

Taxi to Albox please Senor Jones

It was you who voted for him @Six30 wasn't it .....................

Good review Alan With regards to the engine, it seems that’s the way Honda are building their engines now. You have to almost thrash them but they thrive on it and still get good mpg.

Gay

I haven’t done it for over 20 years now, I remember it being quite hairy on my Transalp many years ago

Ace Terry. I was chatting to a mate of mine the other day and trying to explain where 'Bonkers gully' is and what it's like . In the end I told him to go on you tube and look for some of Cupid Stunt's videos

Point of order . You can’t use the words ‘superior flying machine’ and ‘Himalayan’ in the same sentence

Did you the river crossing there ?

The photo of your bike is ace , must be some sort of stealth bike

WTF is going on there

What happened to @Slowlycatchymonkey's BSA ?
