Sir Fallsalot

This is what someone put on the TRF site He described himself as having an unidentified and exceptionally aggressive cancer.

You wouldn't have heard of him unless you were into trail riding. James was the UK Trans Euro Trail (TET) Linesman. He added the Great western trail (GWT) and the south west wales route of the TET (TETie) and several other detours to the TET routes and maintained the routes for several years. He was the man behind Wiltshire Byways the invaluable YouTube repository for clips of green lanes around the UK. He also helped fight some significant green road closure attempts, most notably the byways around Stonehenge. The TET is a 62,000 mile GPX route from the edge of Africa to the Arctic Circle which is enjoyed by tens of thousands of motorcyclists every year and is free https://transeurotrail.org/what-is-the-tet/

The first brand new bike i ever bought was a 1993 Africa Twin, i went into my local Honda dealer pointed at it in the brochure and said i want that one, it took a month to arrive and i wasn't disappointed when i took it out for the first time it was one of the best feeling of my life. Every other bike i had to test ride mainly because they were second hand and i wanted to make sure they were mechanically good. The XTrainer i never had a test ride on either but i did have a go on one when they were first introduced which i think was in 2016 and have been dreaming about one ever since LOL

I think his funeral turnout is going to be huge, i know the TRF are planning something and the TET riders will be involved as well as he created a lot of it

I was waiting for someone to give me something to do, i'm on daywork today and tomorrow and first rule of day work is don't look for work let work find you

fuckmine wasn’t he branded with that name I’m off

Definitely a flounce but I’m staying here so I can see what you two faced back stabbing bastards are saying about me

I'm taking a leaf out of your book so when you start putting up bike photos i will Seriously though i'm pissed off with myself for how much of my life i'm wasting on line so going to try to ween myself off it to do more productive things. I've let so much around the house slip because i'm sat in front of a keyboard and this is what i mean i'm sat here typing this and i should be putting my boots on to go to work LOL

The stock suspension is far better than the previous one and i thought the performance was better as in it picked up quicker and throttle response was crisper but then i remembered i had gone up one tooth on the front sprocket on the old bike i don't know what it is but everything feels better when riding it. It's definitely taller even though the spec says it's not and changing the back end of it to make it the same as the RR model has benefitted it with an air box that keeps the crap out the old old one was totally crap, if it was wet and muddy the air filter would need cleaning almost every ride. I am very happy with my decision to change the bike wish it was in the old colours though LOL I have to pick up some rad guards hopefully this weekend to finish off the protection and then i might invest in a few luxuries like a seat concepts seat and a proper LED headlight for it like a Baja designs squadron pro but those will cost around £700 so still on a wish list for now

Kiss of death that last time i said something like that i had two punctures in two days LOL

That's the new phone its got some auto night mode gives longer exposure time when dark makes things look brighter than they are it don't matter I've deleted them now anyway cant be arsed anymore.

Only spoken to him online myself he's done a hell of lot for trail riding in this country and will be hard for someone else to fill his shoes .

In what way my sceptical friend lol

@boboneleg did you know that James Higgs ( Jimmy Kawasaki ) passed away this morning

Are you sure that's not an aqueduct lol

I've got no chance, I've been working on other stuff this month so not done any riding, the new bike is sat there with 59 miles on the clock and i cant see me using it this weekend either

I liked this one

Nope just as confused as me LOL

He's having a re run LOL

I'm not sure if there's a TTRO on it at the moment it might be for just 4 wheel vehicles for the bit where he fell in to be repaired.

Just finished watching the rest of it, weather was soul destroying on day 3 lol there's a few lanes around Nant y Moch i haven't done but the rest i have, fucker was digging holes everywhere for us lol and i could see he was worn out on happy valley i recognise the symptoms from my own experiences, i bet his bike will be up on market place now advertised as kept in heated garage never off roaded or been wet

Up to the end of day two yes i haven't watched the rest of the vid yet but will watch the rest later tonight. Just been watching this about half way though their on London road, the lads on the smaller bikes they bump into are from south wales TRF

Day two is some of the stuff that's local to me and the guy cutting the fallen branch is a member of the south wales TRF group
