Brutal days back then! Just checked and Andy Bowen got killed in the ring a year later! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Bowen

You got it!

Comerfords.....that's a blast from the past! Anybody know what film star had been a customer at one time?

Run it past Tea Tim! He seems to be calling the shots!

I went for @alfalfa's Beemer!

Why didn't you ban the annoying cunt when you had the Mod gig over there Bob?

Remind me again of the time that you had to sleep in your garage overnight holding a weapon to stop your bikes getting nicked?

All that time on his hands and he still hasn't got a BOTM shot of his bike!

It's Andalucia Day today......so it's a public holiday here. And that seems to include the Excom fibre optic connection as I'm now having to Hotspot it from my Vodafone mobile!

Tremendous Rick!

@Six30

Yes he does......but it's not my world, and it's not the type of riding that I do. Also, it's very rare he ever tests something that's of interest to me. One of the very best reviewers was the late Kevin Ash! Whatever he said, you could take it to the bank! We've still had no definitive answers on his death while riding that GS! I don't put it down to rider error.

Great shots!

Bike testing and evaluating bikes for consumer use is a totally different skillset from motorcycle touring. How long has he been doing these tests.....not that long is it? He might have a favourable opinion on a bike now (as it's new)........but 5 years down the road and 50k on the clock is a different matter entirely with these Chinese things. Whereas it isn't with a Jap. Don't you wonder why he's doesn't get invited to the major brand launches..........and is usually resigned to testing things like this supplied by a local dealer? He's welcome to his opinion......same as you're welcome to take it on board. But he's not at the level that the manufacturers consider him relevant enough to pull him in on the big events like this......

I thought it was Woke?

I bet the Sovereignty in there is off the scale!

Back from Baza Hospital.......fucking grim Weather!

What you have now is these amateur podcasters with no discernible track record monetising their vids and dragging the fucking thing out. I don't want to see 30 mins of some monosyllabic Northerner wobbling down some UK B road in the pissing rain droning on about mindless shit. This is how it's done......

Neevesy in MCN is the man!

It was built that way!

The valleys would still be littered with slag heaps if that funding hadn't gone in!
