Course if Six put Bob's bike in his preferred mode of transport it would be a Van Van Van! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 How lovely to see you here. What with you being an intelligent man you may find it difficult to sink low enough to enjoy yourself though, try a large glug of whisky and letting rip, seems to work for everyone else So it’s all off for this year then? Ive been checking in every week or so but have been a bit busy so don’t know what the score is. I’ll have a look later. Nice avi, nice panniers, nice bike, great pics. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been checking in every week or so but have been a bit busy so don’t know what the score is. I’ll have a look later. It can be summed up quite easily. The region we were due to visit is now a flood disaster zone on an epic scale its also impossible to go to France without an enforced quarantine when we return. And I cannot knowingly do that. It seems just wrong to carry on being in denial or hope there might be a turnaround. The plan for next year is a 2 week trip to the Austrian Alps and Italian Dolomites, same time. The weekend after August Bank Holiday. So will be trying to shift tunnels bookings etc to that date, if a refund isn't possible. And will begin thrashing out the details later this year once we are in the winter blues and need something to look forward to. And hope for better times. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motobiker Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 @boboneleg The trips I organise are on-tarmac only, the guys I invite are usually inexperienced riders (to begin with) who have never toured before. (usually) So, its generally very relaxed and has to be relatively stress free. Though there have been a few memorable occasions when we 'off roaded' by accident.. I got a shedload of earache. from them all aside from one chap on a TRX850 who thought it was a hoot. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be up for a bit of trail riding but probably best not on the Bandit, that is assuming it lives past its current hiccup. Had a look at the pics n posts on the other place. The flooding situation looks dire, as if anyone in hospitality needs another knock Great pic. Are you using a camera phone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
