Saul Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 14 minutes ago, Skippy said: I‘m not proud to say it but many years ago while away on a bike trip to Lloret de Mar we all started drinking pints of vodka, tequila and Red Bull for the equivalent of £1 a pint. The results were horrendous and even when the hangover went the next afternoon I was still buzzing. NEVER, EVER AGAIN. That's the problem with drinking Red Bull as a mixer, you get to stay awake for the whole hangover. Done it before, never again. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is quite common to get water through the street so everywhere can deal with it. Not the drama you might think. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s because you take it out after every ride, wash and polish it, wrap it in cotton wool and kiss it goodnight. I bet you put it right next to your cosseted downpipes. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've ever bought a battery for a bike! For the F800 it’s just a back up battery to be left in Spain ready for airport parking lies about keeping the bikes charged. The Himalayan is still using it’s original battery, it’s been flattened and left flat more times than I can remember (courtesy of airport parking, one remiss previous owner and a datafuckingtool alarm) so it’s done pretty well but it is done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowlycatchymonkey Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Every now and then when it’s just me to consider I relish not bothering to sort things out “I’ll just wing it” I think. Sorted Mr Slowly’s route and accommodation from Santander to Salobreña for this October at the beginning of July. Nice route and stopovers too. Have I bothered for myself? Nope. “86% of properties in the area you’re searching are unavailable” “92% of properties in the area you’re searching are unavailable” etc, etc. I may have to pack a wheelie bin to sleep in. Reckon I could fit one across the back of the Himmy 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
