“I’m a fairly calm, level, not-too-excitable bloke. I’ve had ups and downs, including a nasty divorce and illness, and have just blatted on; but the day(s) after a long ride or a trip are hell! Is it everyone or just some people?” 900Fantrider

Ed’s debate!
Who’s top dog in ‘adventure’ and ‘touring’? I’ve been spending a lot of time lately checking out the manufacturers’ range of new machines in the ‘adventure’ and ‘touring’ categories. It’s been an interesting time and has me pondering the question: “Which manufacturer has the above two categories in the bag?”
Is it BMW with the GS and RT? Honda with the Varadero, Trans-alp and Pan Euro? Yamaha with the Tenere and FJR? Kawasaki with the GTR and Versys? Triumph with the Tiger and new Sprint?
“I’ve ridden bikes for years but I’ve also always had a car, which if I’m honest has had more use than the bike. After some deliberation I’ve decided on a policy of ‘Total Motorcycle Immersion’ or TMI. I’m not quite there yet, but the car’s on eBay…” judge148
“I chose mine [user name] because it is inoffensive on a public forum with the possibility of ladies being present, otherwise my title would have been Hansomebastardwithhugeknob” Mark1150

Not so much a case of mistranslation as an opportunity for an obscene game of Catchphrase from site member 52115. C’mon everyone, say what you see… (and no, the answer’s not ‘big chicken’)
