I'd forgotten he used to do those as well. I know I was there and he mentions 3 people I was there with, Strange Dave, John Perk (Perky) and Jackie Mawhood, but I must have been too slow to get near a camera. Worth watching just to see Pat Tighe muscling his Africa Twin through the boggy bits and the Transalp with a customised fairing, customised by leaving a large piece in the welsh scenerey by the look of it. Quite liked that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasshopper Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 Things are underway..... A new change for the bikes, they can only have 6 tire changes in the whole rally, that will make things a bit more interesting. KTM also looks good to take back the title and from what I hear today some Honda riders got lost, soooo..... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 580 ish miles if i remember right Depends, in Connecticut it can take and hour to go 30 miles sometimes, depending on direction, while out west they can do 60-90 miles in the same time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup its like that throughout the UK my trip to work in the morning is 45 miles and it will take me just over an hour and most of that route is motorway where i'll be doing my best to keep up 80mph 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(ih-MOH-dee-um) A drug used to treat diarrhea. Imodium slows the movement of the muscles in the small intestine to allow more water to be taken out of the feces (waste matter) and more nutrients to be absorbed. I THINK WE ARE OFF TOPIC AGAIN......thanks @Mawsley 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen those speeds on that terrain? Dont tell me that doesn't give you the screaming shits. Love Freds vid. Really captures it all. Almost had to take a dose of Imodium myself. Oh Dear Cheeks, I'm just taking a guess but it sounds like you might have a few digestive issues. Perhaps you are not absorbing water correctly, hence the free flow in the rear. That might explain the volume of hair in this region as well. I'm not telling you what to do, but I suggest more fibre. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tym Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Watching them struggle in the dunes was pretty cool, reminds me of the dunes at Vandenberg AFB in California. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
