That's great that he's been tested, you have to jump through hoops to get a test here ?

@Pedro Does your brother have to isolate ? I have no idea what it's like in Croatia regards covid .

Not many 'regulation' haircuts there

I reckon Fred might have a few tales and we have to remember that a certain someone on here used to ride around naked in the desert so I'm sure he's got some tales.

I can remember coming out of the pub on xmas eve and having a huge snowball fight with my mates. Then driving my Escort van (I was more upmarket than you Pete ) back across Bristol. I took the side roads to avoid the old bill but hit at least two cars (at very slow speed) because of the snow. On the Cumberland Basin flyover, I stopped the van , opened the door and pucked into the snow. At this point my mate had enough and comandeered the driving seat, he drove the rest of the way home. My mate apparently had another kerffufle with some big dude who accused him of tampering with his mum, I had no idea about any of this as I was comatose in the back of my van ? I wasn't the prettiest sight on xmas morning and I had no idea where my van was for the next three days.

I think your right Pedro but to be fair I don't think there's a lot of pep in that engine anyway -
To be honest I quite like that ?

That's excellent Fred, you can't tell how steep it is until the drone zooms in but great if you've got somwone in your group who knows how to operate one of those things

Well I don't know if you'd call this a UJM (probably too small an engine) but I was really keen on it when I saw on the web for sale last night. By time this morning had come around it was sold ? bloody gutted, I could see myself riding that on a nice summers day. -

Ren probably owns that website , where is the old dog ? -
Absolutely, I think there's a fair bit of suspicion as in ' why are we getting it before any other country' but I'd be first in the queue if they offered it to me. That way I would know if it's safe for my wife and son.

First batch of vaccines done today on over 80's , I hope they're not using them as guinea pigs ?

The 2020 Dragon Rally was something to remember, 85mph winds, torrential rain, tents flying over hedges and then there was the ride back home where my mate's Africa Twin which weighs about 240kg with camping gear got blown clean over by the force of the wind. Not my video but if you move to 6.00mins onwards you can get some idea what it was like......

Very cool Tym, the KLR looks ace against the dark backgrounds

We like a challange, anyone can take the easy route.

How are you getting on leading these TRF runs Fred, I only ask as normally you don't really like riding in groups ?
-
One of my favourite river crossings, I've had to fish a KTM 990 out of there and that was after we showed him the line to take. He thought we were taking the piss, so he went his own way and guess what happened
-
I've given him a lot of stick over that car, take a look at the way he rivveted the wheel arch extensions on, bloody bodger . Anyaway, what do I know , he sold for over £18,000 .

I didn't take it as so , no problem here.

I think that's some of Pete's handywork there (the flying leg )

Some for you here Pete, my old BMW650GS Dakar. When i got it it was about 10 months old and covered in Touratech farkles , I catalogued them and it was over £1000 worth. I took most of it off and sold it. As standard it looked like this......... I junked the tyres for some knobblies and sourced a complete set of bodywork (bit by bit) and then sprayed it in Ford Atlantic blue . The o/e panels were put in the loft to keep them tidy. Here's a photo with my mates Ford Escort rally stage car........ Then I used it for the purpose intended......... I also rode it to the Pyrenees, did a two day navigational rally on trails and then rode it back home. It averaged 71mpg for the whole trip On the way home I just had to get a photo when I spotted the sign to this village, I wonder who lives there ?
