I'm not sure , peeps keep old bikes (with expired MOT) in their garages but they're still insured ?

But I used to ride my old Transalp everywhere , it was even marketed as a 'go anywhere' travel bike originally. I think a lot of peeps will be expecting to do the same with this bike .

I've ridden in the Bardenas Reales desert in 40c heat, it wasn't very pleasant. Nowadays I hide if the themometer goes over 25C

If you've booked your bike in for an MOT you can ride it to the test center legally.

Could be dodgy, watch out for the ones with six toes And if you happen to see @Slowlycatchymonkey take a photo of her BSA otherwise we'll all be dead before we see it

Ooooooooooooooooooops

You Tube and it's paetron facility I suspect. It's a different world now Pete.

Nice find Clive but Charlie's prefer to work on bikes built in UK before 1965. They'd look at you with a blank stare if you turned up on a Jap bike I'm also not sure if they're still going ......................... https://www.classicbikeguide.com/end-of-the-road-for-charlies/

If you are you owe me 50%

was that you speaking or has @Slowlycatchymonkey taken over your PR

His paintwork is nearly as bad as the boots she's wearing .......

So this version has some ugly scaffolding on the front end but still no sump guard

Is it that guy who lives near Caerphilly ? I can't remember his name now. He's done a few wheels for me but wheel builders are almost impossible to find now. What are you having done to it , new rim

It's hard for us in Europe to imagine the distance's you cover , I'm not sure I could hack riding that far but I suppose it's a case of what you're used to doing. Anyway, cool photos @Earache, great to see pics from your part of the world.

Nothing worse than a headwind when your cycling, even going uphill is better than that.

A Garelli Tiger was not exactly a fanny magnet, something to do with the pedals I reckon

Perv alert

Very neat job.................... and Tony the tools never had to touch a spanner

I think there's a good chance that a Goldwing may win the next BOTM ......................

Good grip in the dry , I won't be testing them in the wet as my bike is called XTREME

He’s withdrawn in a hissy fit already

What a beautiful uncluttered engine on that MV, loving the hand pump as well

I was looking for reviews on Snell chains and found this thread , once I found it I realised that it was the 'other' forum (it might not be ) and I thought i'd try to log in . I replied to the post and then that message came up . https://themotorbikeforum.co.uk/topic/45769-snell-chain-review/?_fromLogin=1
