Expand Drink, drugs, occasional outbursts of violence, followed by the swelling of one of his organs (liver?) so much that it nearly stopped his heart beating. This was followed by a promise made to a fictional character up above whilst laying in a hospital bed to be a good boy from now on. Of course, religion, like drink or drugs can take over some peoples' lives to extremes. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yen_powell Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 More rufty tufty 80s bike camping (priest on the left this time), this time it's the arse end of my CX. I was the only person with a camera back then so I'm not usually in the pictures. Man in blue hat is the colourful character (Wombat) who introduced me to motorbikes, a life changing moment really if I think about it. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good mid range grunt and the suspension was superb even with all the camping gear on.

Buckster Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Well my erection went well, I spent an hour getting it up then an hour playing with it. At the end it only took twenty minutes to bag it again, oooeeerrr missus. Initially it looked a bit pissed. I spent quite a bit of time just squaring it up, i have a footprint for it which i didnt use this time but that will be a good guide to work from next week at the rally. The quality is superb, even the pegs are next level. The inner is asymmetric so looks a bit odd at first but gives a great sleeping area, there are lots of vents and storage pockets scattered around which will make stowing all the crap easy. Most important though, I can stand up in the centre and I am 6'4" so that's going to make life a lot easier. There are a couple of external fly screen windows which is a nice touch and these can be fitted with guy lines to create waterproof vents. I didn't fit all the guy lines but it definitely needs them and I will use them when I'm actually camping. This tent will put the love back into motorcycle camping for me. I am going to need a peg mallet as the pegs are very thick. Im very happy with the purchase of this tent. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
