Go get it Pete You don't go on trips abroad or to the other side of Spain so it will do you fine. I've been to France twice on my 250 and as long as you leave motorways out it's absolutely fine, just tune yourself in to the slightly slower speeds, you see more of the countryside anyway. I'll probably be in your position before long (dodgy right knee and hip) but I know that I'll be able to carry on riding on the 250

No bikes for me this weekend. It is our 30th wedding anniversary so we are off to a posh hotel in the Cotswolds for a weekend of realxation and stuffing our faces ? It must be posh as I've even washed my car today as I didn't want to turn up with it covered in dust ? https://www.lordsofthemanor.com/

Superb

What a fantastic ride report and the photos of the scenery is spectacular. This shot is a bit spooky for me......... I don't know if we had some sort of telepathic thing going on but yesterday I took this photo ?

Well I have to see a consultant soon (been postponed for 6 months due to Covid) about another op on my leg to try and cure the phantom limb pain . If I have the op it will be my 11th but unless he truly convinces me that they can get it right I may not bother. It will mean another 6 months on crutches and I feel like I'm losing riding time day by day as it is ?

I'm sure I remeber him posting a photo of his family and they were all nude except him ?

I had a GS650 Dakar some years ago, took it to the Spanish Pyrenees and it averaged 71mpg, that included doing trails. It was the one with the twin-plug head, better performance and mpg. The downside to it was the front end, very soft suspension. A lot guys coverted then to Yamaha forks or KTM.

Absolutely brilliant Fred I've ridden up here with Paul many years ago but I had no idea that tunnel was close by

Nice one Pete, I love that old standpipe

Yep, never buy a bike that lives by the seaside or a car/truck for that matter.

A better idea Tym is to cut up an old plastic container (oil or similar) and use them to line the soft bag.

I'm not going to 'like' this if you don't mind Pete. I've seen enough of the inside of hospitals without you taking photos of them

OMG, you couldn't make that up. Best not bother with the rest of the course then Chris ?

Yep, I'm going with uneven road surface. When you're trail riding that sort of thing happens about every 30 seconds

Good moaning........

Is that your Minky..............

Hi Carlo, when we were teenagers my mate had a 700cc Constellation. It was a bitch to start but I rode it a few times, I remember it had a lovely thump to it but god awful brakes

Fuckmine a sailor with zero tatoos ?

A lady who doesn't like shopping, I'm not sure I believe you ? ? ?

The old bald and toothless git hasn't been on for a while............

Hope it works out ok for you Tym, let us know how you get on.

I'm going to be 62 soon Pedro, I very much doubt if the NHS would spend anymore money on a fancy new leg. I'm not even sure they would replace some of the components on this one now, so I'll hang onto this one for as long as I can. It has some pretty groovy components for a NHS funded leg as it is so I'm grateful for what I've got.
