And it sounds like you need to take @Clive on one of your expeditions......I'm sure he'd be well up for riding across rivers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boboneleg Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 One of my favourite river crossings, I've had to fish a KTM 990 out of there and that was after we showed him the line to take. He thought we were taking the piss, so he went his own way and guess what happened 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would a pair of wellies and council waterproofs (yellow) suffice. And if you go under @Sir Fallsalot will be on hand to give you mouth to mouth Clive. So maybe it would be better not to go under! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grasshopper Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 The sun came out today so I decided to work on Bagheera, clean him up and tighten up his cylinder head cover to see if I could stop the small oil leak. Then I baked a pumpkin loaf for an afternoon snack! Yummmy 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
