The price has gone up that much? And when are you going to do one of your Busting a Cap vids on the Back 40?

This is where I live! Yes....it's full of freaks.....but at least there's very few knuckledragging Brits! No one here gets out alive!

I'm sure many of you will remember Visordown 20 years ago....it was the biggest UK forum at the time. Then it was sold out to a corporate media company so the members all left and formed The Rev Counter in 2007. And it looks like that's now closed and some of the members from there seem to have started another one nearly a year ago.....Rev to the Limit. It's on phpBB software so it doesn't really look the part these days......but all the best to them.

It's awful Pedro! And on one of those rare days the sun shines then the tailbacks stretch for miles! With everybody going 20mph because every twat in the country gets their fucking caravan out. Imagine spending all day intermittently screaming it in second and third gear to pick cars off while going for any gap in the oncoming traffic that you can. It's exhausting physically and mentally.

I don't suppose you've got.......or maybe not?

If that's what the requirements are, based on each individual's circumstances, and then throw in the person's preferences.....then it's the right choice Pedro. And riding in Britain is a nightmare in terms of traffic volume, bad road surfaces, and Police surveillance compared to Southern Europe. You can spend all day picking your way past streams of cars.....get half a mile of open road.....then go through the same thing again. And remember that's based on how I remember it in 2005.....it's probably far worse now.

Exactly! The CB750F1 I had in 76 was 235kg, the Bandit 1200 I had in 2001 was 240kg......but neither seemed heavy to me back then. Now they would feel like barges.

It's matching bike to individual requirements......your GS is what you need right now Pedro. But over the years the requirements may well change, and it's inevitable that age will catch up with you at some point. I think once I got into my early sixties I started feeling it kicking in.

You gotta understand that Google will knock us back Pedro. We want no.1 for the search term "Adventure Motorcycles" not "Shit eating Iberian Beemer Boy".

You tell him Tym! About time @Pedro started generating some interesting threads to stimulate discussion. But not any that involve his eating habits obviously!

I love Pedro's bike.....I think it's amazing. But given my age, the limited time that I have available, and the riding environment where I am it's just totally impractical for me.

It's the logical choice Lionel......manoeuvring half a ton of bike around is no joke in your 60's.

Nothing's easy in Spain! And it gets even worse when lazy jobsworth funcionarios are involved!

Put up as a Spoof Pedro.

Logistical nightmare to re-register vehicles here Pedro!

You still planning to out that?

Here's one @Tym will remember from another forum...... "What's on your sandwiches today?"

Don't you find the low bars and rising position a bit painful Ray?

Sounds like it was this....

That's the later version of the F650GS......which became 800cc. The original F650GS (650cc) then became the G650GS.

@Buckster will be along shortly to tell you that they're Chinese!

Are you allowed to keep the two there?

no.....just one car is enough!

Don't get the range of powders here!
