It started out slow and stayed slow for a while but when the adventure takes a turn into unfamilier territory
this book really gets going and alan puts himself through an ordeal that im sure he wasnt looking for but eventually handles well. Its not your average adventure biker read but you will warm to the journey and the man. Well done I enjoyed it

These are ideal to wear to keep out the worst of the weather even if you have textiles that are waterproof.
They have no padding or protection for impact or abrasion as they are an over trouser but comfortably over my mx style knee armour
I wear them over mx trousers in the summer or my enduro trousers in the winter perfect for green laning the cammo pattern looks the part.These act as a bit of extra insurance against the cold and rain.

There are many types available the dutch and german ones are thought to be more durable and hard wearing but any will cost little and do the job well

This is probably the best money ever spent can you put a price on dry warm feet all day even when the first lane has deep puddles or a ford ive heard the boot liners are just as good but ive not used them but can whole heartedly recommend these are just awesome

Ive rated them 10 throughout obviously they dont have armour and well they look like socks

yup someone decided that as i ride motorcycles i might like to read about an adventure that was really exciting and they rode amazingly around the world all by themselves on motorcycles on carrying the bare neccesities in about 10 grands worth of alluminium boxes of and a camera man who could moan nearly as much as they did of and the medic security bloke and the bloke who organised when they could have a shit or not who drove around after them in a feck off 4x4 with every thing and a kitchen sink

what he said about the 400s only the engine is stronger mainly due to the fcr carb the 400e is lighter and geared down so better off than on .Easy to get spares easy to work on
