Rare bikes, I don't think I've ever seen one ? IMG_5707.mp4

I've got a mate who's got one Fred, very nice bike. They seem to have cured the problems that you got with the KTM 690.

They're shit , I wouldn't bother. Just spend another £4000 on top and you can get a KTM790 ?

I've got a mate who has several bikes in his garage that he's bought but never rides. Not only does he not ride them but he's done zero maintenance either so they're just sat there rotting away. I just don't get it and I've tried to buy one of them off him so I can do a semi-resto job on it but he just refuses my offers. I think he just has them so that he can say, I've got one of those ?

I remember watching a programme where they put an E-Type Jag on the grid against a Honda Accord saloon. The Honda thrashed the Jag off the line and right up to the 1/4 mile finish line, old ain't always better.

There's a recurring theme going on here Fred, something to do with you drinking methinks ?

My present DR650 is an Australian model 2012, I've got all the aussie paperwork with it . Guy was a Brit who worked in the mines near Perth , bought it back to the UK with him when he moved back, I was lucky enough to snap it up when he put it up for sale. Here's the Aussie bike in the foreground with my 1996 UK bike behind............ Once i had them both I began the process of swapping over all the 'adventure' parts onto the Aussie bike...... Once it was all done I put the '96 UK bike back to almost o/e spec and put it up for sale.........

My mate had a test ride on one a while back, apparently it had terrible fuelling .

This is the Abergwesyn Pass Pete, the bridge my bike is on is about 50 yds from the one yours is on

I'm pretty certain that's on the Abergwesyn Pass ???

Dog and Donkey together. jesus Fred that was 2016 , we need to sort out a ride together at some time.

Oi, I've got a Suzuki ?

Charming ?

I'll try some others but kowing some of them you may regret it ?

Did you nick that from the chinese laundry ?

I can't remeber the last time I only had one motorcycle but if it came to that it would be the Donkey ?

Good to see you Rod

There's got to be more to that story than that ?

Common mod on DR650's with the o/e carb, shim it with a small washer , runs much better. I've replaced the BST with a TM40 on mine now, runs like a peach.

Hello Bryn

Mmmmmmmmmm, not sure. He's known better as Jasext on most forums.

You need to ask Jason Lewis (one of Cupid's mates) about our meeting one of the inmates at a filling station near there ?

That place looks exciting and spooky at the same time.

Yes, that's what I imagined ?

Heated grips and a flask of coffee ?
