Re: Would a Bivvy be any good?

Just seen this. I use a DD Tarps Pyramid XL tent, mostly with the single matching mesh inner (I have both) which is fine for solo camping, just needs either a stick of 1350mm length (walking pole) or a ridge line . Plenty of room inside and very weatherproof. The two bits together weight just under ...

Re: New Honda CRF300 L and CRF300 Rally

Perhaps it was a timing thing. But it goes to show that there are no ‘markets’ as far as marketing is concerned....... The WWW has changed everything. Volvo are hopeful that is the case after it pledged to become a digital only retailer by 2030. Let's face it people are buying bikes and cars 'unsee...

Re: roadbook creator, which one?

Which program are you you using to create a RB Mr KSI? I have a Devon RB when you're allowed to visit again which I'm tempted to run as some sort of event for invited guests :-) Based on Chris M's recent facebook post and Grouty's comments you'd better suggest a date then Snaf. I need a good pasty ...

Re: UJM

Still thinks the Fazer 600 looks good today, and it works well. If by any remote chance you ever need a set of front blue-spot calipers, I've got a complete set with braided lines from an R1 that will fit the Fazer... Happy scratching... That’s very kind, but they work perfectly having never seen r...

My current UJM, bought last summer for under £2k with 9000 miles on the clock. It was and remains like new and rides lovely.

Re: Go Big and Ride Small

It must be a day for getting out, I had to take the Super Cub to Dartmouth to get some petrol for my petrol Strimmer today. First time it’s turned a wheel since Christmas Eve. Let’s hope we might get out before the end of the summer. I know Dartmoor is waiting for me to walk the length of it for thi...

Re: Bike Design Porn

I used to own this one. Everything else seems a bit dull by comparison https://i.postimg.cc/DwH0rYYL/IMG-0125.jpg These days I have more fun with a 125. Some of the new Chinese ones, like the Hero Scrambler in Bianco look like fun. An no one gets to loose their licence. My current favourite bike is ...

Re: EU. In or out?

I love the “blame them because they’re making it difficult” line the Govemonkeys are spouting. We (in democratic terms) voted for this awful mess. Now it’s being shown up for the power grab it always was by the ruling groups within the UK as they try and blame others and hide their dishonesty and th...

Re: Go Big and Ride Small

I really enjoy this tread as it just goes to show what the small capacity machines have to offer. I currently ride an XSR700 but tuck it up for winter so am considering getting a smaller capacity bike for adventures around the Moors and Dales, on minor roads rather than true offroad. I have been lo...
