I get that, it’s not like you go looking for trouble but it’s nice knowing you can get out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boboneleg Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Get yourself a 250 as well as the Tiger Chris, then you can stray off onto other stuff knowing that you should be able to get safely out. If I lived where you live I'd be exploring every chemin/track I could find Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing your own limitations is probably the most important skill when you ride alone. the plan is to be with a professional when I go looking for those limitations...

I'm a one bike man I guess, I am happy to do as much as I can do with my one ride, I just don't know those limits yet with the tiger. I explained to the guy whose doing the training ( he's a full time instructor for the police nationale motorcycle school in Sens just north of here and has set up a company doing this at the weekends) that I want to discover what i can do with this bike as it stands... with what I've got, kit and tyres. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boboneleg Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 You could live to 150 and you'd still not achieve that (in my experience) A smaller , lighter bike could open up so many more opportunities for you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tym Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Two bikes should be a minimum, all wives take note. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
