I would like to have a test ride on a 450 rally. If it's ok on the road and looks nice up close I would be very tempted, I'm very impressed by everything that's been said about them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first has hardly ridden it but Sandro (the second) is getting out on his this weekend. It'll be very interesting to hear what he has to say about it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it would be a Morocco type of bike, it seems they’re treating the engine as not an enduro engine in regards to maintenance which I like a lot. If it’s happy to spend time on the road it would be a hard bike to beat. Curious as to what you mate has to say and what he’s done with it so far. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooN Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 well I think our local prefect has finally lost it! this morning it was -8c ish and freezing fog, cars in ditches all over the bloody place ( i exaggerate a little... but I only have a 10km drive to work and saw 2, wifey does 20k in the other direction and saw 1 plus an accident) The mwin road through the village here was fun cos a water main burst during the night so it was a proper ice rink. Kids off to school on the bus, no problem, all the schools open. Tomorrow the forcast is for +4 in the morning, rising to 10 ish in the afternoon and rain. All regional school transport and schools are closed tomorrow due to extreme weather comditions... fucking lunatic i tell you. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're there twice a day and any feed bags we have to do a bit at a time between us. The straw isn't heavy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not normal straw bales......they're massive bulk bales that need a forklift to move. The wife takes what she wants in loose straw from the bale and all I do is push the wheelbarrows. And I've only been doing that for the last week or so. I could have ridden the bike a few weeks ago.....but I'm just taking it very slowly cos I don't want any setbacks. I don't want to go through that again. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
