I'm glad you made that clear Pete as Tym certainly didn't. I thought they were chopping his gonads off or something Anyway, I wish him all the best ?

I totally understand your frustrations Pete

Still in lockdown this weekend but we are free to travel as form Monday (but not into Wales ) So my weekend will probably involve catalouging a load of Honda and BMW manuals that I bought ready to list on eBay etc.

I really don't understand countries like Spain, Portugal and Cyprus announcing that they're opening their borders to tourists. Is tourism really more important than your citizens lives

Silbury Hill ?

Not true as far as UK citizens are concerned. We are not allowed to leave our shores for a 'holiday' , you risk a £5000 fine without a valid excuse for travel abroad.

Is the case rate/death rate getting worse Chris ?

Another ace rideout Chris, I have to say though that this doesn't look very 'golden'

I can just remember that, we had to take the train to go to my Nan's at Clevedon (only 15 miles away) , it was a steam train as well. Very excting for a 5 year old

I've got one dollars worth of hard drives, shit I have no idea what I'm going to spend all that on .

Excellent stuff, those big GS's must be hard work in the deep sand. Good call avoiding the silt, that may have ended in tears . With the way our lockdown has gone in UK it's kind of hard to comprehend that you dudes are out there doing this stuff.

Superb, some lovely riding conditions as well ?

Welcome Gary

I'm pretty certain Fred would second that idea ?

I found some lovely nature today........................ I don't fancy the chances of that Duck

Once again that looks ace to me Chris. I can't see me going to France again this year (missed out last year), it's becoming very depressing .

Should have primed it first Pete with plastic primer, very light sanding and then the top coat. Anyway, it doesn't look too bad to me.

Bloody hell Tym , agent orange !!! Take it easy mate, whtever surgery you're having I wish you all the best

What Fred said . I carry a leatherman but that's just for basics. At the very least carry a tyre compressor so at least you can inflate a flat until you get to a garage. What's the Himalayan tool kit like , could you remove either wheel with it ? If not you need to be thinking about a tool kit that will do the job ?

I don't think you'll be dissapointed Pedro but if they're expensive in Portugal go for the Michelin Tracker.

Cheng Shin are Taiwanese and have a substatial holding in Maxxis

What's for dinner Nan................... Nan's reply............ Ham , Jam and Baa Lamb

The Maxxis M7304 front presently on my CRF Rally has over 4500 miles on it now including a trip to France and back, I reckon it'll do another 1000 miles easily. Tyres are a very individual thing but I'm very confident in the Maxxis.

I would say that the tyre is your problem. AC10 fronts have a reputation for bad wear, they're quite dangerous in the wet as well. It's strange as the rear AC10 is pretty good. Michelin have replaced them with the Michelin Tracker but if you can get Maxxis Maxxcross IT Pro's then they are a much better tyre for around the same price. https://www.24mx.co.uk/motocross-parts/motocross-tyres--rims_c350/motocross-tyres_c351/maxxis-m-7304d-mx-21-front-mx-tyres_pid-PM-4904663?gclid=Cj0KCQjw3duCBhCAARIsAJeFyPW1dywFUYHt4Ftb_0xjQXxf9ympJDcYjhIxUk0u_LAP0bh57pcW5CMaAoiWEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

How old is the tyre? was there any aggressive acceleration or braking ? these are factors that will cause tyre-creep. Has the tyre been on the rim for a long time ?
