Sorry @XTreme but I can’t vote at the moment as I’m watching paint dry.

Murcia province mate

You’ll find there’s no right or wrong side of the road over here mate……….whoever gets to the turn/junction/gap first was on the ‘right side’ of the road.
-
Tell you who I wouldn’t want to mess with………..Lucy Bronze, she’s got the look of an assassin
-
They did very well and thoroughly deserved their victory. Mind you, they need to sort out their insults, having been fouled Jill Scott called the German a fucking prick. Laughed my tits off.
-
I was tempted by @Sir Fallsalot’s entry because it sums up everything I love about off road exploration but………@Six30’s bike looks ‘ard as fuck…….gotta love the street fighter vibe and for that reason I’m in!
-
Sulking because I don’t have a bike on the road at the moment.
-
Not yet Pete, it’s likely to be towards the end of next week though. Fingers crossed. Having problems getting the DR to kick over which according to those in the know could be a result of the valve clearances being incorrect? Need to get it back to my mate’s gaff and he’ll take a look……..I wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve never been adjusted since it left the factory in 1987!

Very underestimated bikes @XTreme, a mate of mine dies a fair bit of off road riding including competing in the last Hellas Rally with Torque Racing and he likes them, especially when you add some of the Rally Raid UK kit. I could be tempted when I get to your age.
-
In my case it was too obvious
-
I think it’s an age thing as there appears to be bugger all wrong with me and I find sometimes that I lose my balance ever so slightly. If you’re worried though @boboneleg you should get yourself checked out just for peace of mind.
-
Not as light on your feet as you used to be? Really, I find that hard to believe.
-
Is there any other kind of Harley @XTreme?
-
You’re talking yourself into a new set of tyres mate, don’t bother until the current ones are fucked. Just get on it and ride it. It’s all in your head.
-
Rally Raid do all sorts of kit for them, it ain’t cheap but apparently it’s top quality stuff, the only trouble is that a reasonably priced bike then becomes bloody expensive. I think you’ll enjoy it mate.
-
It started okay from cold today after a few kicks but it’s a bloody animal. I only had shirts and trainers on so just gave it a gentle spin around the block but it just wants to get going. There’s no feathering the throttle on that b’stard
-
Spoke to the dealer who was horrified they’d missed it and are happy to inspect it to see the extent of the problem and either fix it or source another tank. Can’t grumble to be fair.
-
As @Sir Fallsalot says, fit the seat back on and ride the bugger.
-
My thoughts exactly, it’ll be an adventure.
-
My mate’s got a Norden and traded his KTM 1190R for it. He much prefers the Norden.
-
Inventive. I like that. I bet you were a Boy Scout Bob?
-
Good point, seems they were all built off the same medieval buildings plans.
-
Nice photos there @boboneleg and I’m bloody sure I’ve been to that square.
