Sir Fallsalot

Stop your moaning you never see me moaning when i get a ticket you just have to take it like a man

All money again, if you cant afford the track bike you will also struggle to do any regular trail riding unless your good at fixing things when they break

You will probably be offered a speed awareness course Bob

I have Moose's in my dirt bike tyres never thought of eating them

That's a nice looking machine wonder of they will do a dual sport version and looking at the specs this is a prime example of why i can't get my head around the weight of the Himalayan. it's 151KG and 650cc that's 44KG less than the new Himalayan why ? To sum it up Ducati Himalayan

Much better looking than the previous one but still can't understand where all the weight comes from at 195KG for a 450cc bike it must be made of osmium. Reading the bumf on it they say it's 7Ibs lighter than its predecessor, i it would be fucking hard to make it any heavier.

I hate it when some stupid cow blocks your path

@Slowlycatchymonkey I see your the only one who got it LOL

I had a look around but couldn't see Rod Hull anywhere

Yes had a good ride aching a bit now and only got rained on once LOL

Missed the deadline been busy out riding all afternoon didn't get home until 17.30 ish

I think the site was down earlier it works for me now

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/

Will do Bob

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 .
