  1. to be continued...........
  2. So having put the winter wheels/tyres on the Donkey the other day it was time to get them dirty. First thing I noticed was how much more 'lively' the bike felt after riding all summer on Mitas E-07's but it it was fine after riding about an hour of tarmac. First stop was by the gatehouse of the Spye Park estate.......... a and onto Heddington Steps which doesn't have any steps anymore, it's been totally sanitised , you could drive your car up there nowadays ? and then rode a couple of trails around Devizes...... and then up onto Salisbury Plain via the Redhorn Hill vedette. When the army are playing war there would be a red flag flying here and a barrier across the trail but no live firing today so on we go........... There are plenty of warnings about not straying from the byway, if you're stupid enough to do so you really are playing russian roulette.... and down to the tank graveyard which is good place to stop and get the flask out for a coffee.........
  3. As someone who has previously been 'escorted' off the Plain in the past and been buzzed by an Apache helicopter I'm taking no chances
  4. You know that Shad = cheap chinese Givi knock off , right ?
  5. I am going to visit Old Sarum tomorrow, I will take the scenic route across Salisbury Plain as there is no live firing tomorrow.......... https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/salisbury-plain-training-area-spta-firing-times/salisbury-plain-training-area-spta-firing-times-october-2020

  12. Has it got the engine with the twin plug head Pete ? My Dakar had that engine, I rode it to the Pyrenees then did a two-day rally there and rode it back home. Even with two days of trail-riding it did 71mpg. I'm surprised that your bike hasn't got wire spoked wheels.
  13. Yep, saw it on the T7 forum, what a bummer
  14. It's for a very good cause.
  15. Blimey Fred, I hope that your wife recovers ok .
