Re: Novice mistake
The 10% rule purely a guidance and different forces have different rules so dont get fooled like alot do and think its ok. I know a few people who have had tickets for 3mph over in a 50 for instance. Another was let off for doing 85 in a 60 so there is no common approach however it depends on condit...

Re: Don't bother going to Wales again
Just returned from Mid Wales and came across loads of 20mph areas but the most frustrating was a lovely mountain pass on a Fri night they flipped the signs from the national speed limit to 30mph all the way.
Still lots of good roads to ride though if you keep of the main routes

Re: Its back THE TAFFY DAKAR
I went to the first Taffy Event which was superb and had a great time with all the laughs and chilling out. The goodie bag with the Hat, stickers and ear plugs was a great idea and I still use that hat! I arrived a few days early and setup camp with my Californian mate which was a right laugh. It wa...

Re: Latest Licence changes
This has been law in Germany for years as I found out years ago when some lunatic walked out in front of me in Munich. It was close so I dished out a bollocking as he looked at me before stepping out.
I was very sternly reminded by a policeman standing nearby what I should be doing

Re: Nicer than a Norden?
Nice but prefer the Ducati Desert X Emerge and then change the decals to a decent set and it would look superb. Downside is what about panners etc?

Re: Nicer than a Norden?
I like it and with a decent decal kit would look great. Not much use for travel and a big lump unless you ride somewhere like Australia etc. Shame its low on bhp as the 1290 is twice the power. Admittedly you don't need 160 bhp but its great fun when you use it . The 690 KTM for me is the better bik...

Angel Steps! Sometimes I could clear it no problem but most of the time either stuck or sat there polishing rocks

Re: the husqvarna norden 901
Not keen on the headlight however I like the rest of it and bet it's fun to ride
There’s no word on pricing yet, but we’d expect it to sit between £12,000 and £12,500
That puts it above the KTM 890 adv which is the engine it uses

Re: WK 400 Trail 2016
Sadly Ebay is also full of time wasters the same as some other places. I am selling something at the moment and lost track of the idiots who ask dumb questions or offer silly money.
But it only takes 1 genuine buyer
