Now THH in Taiwan are massive and make for the likes of Bell etc--and this looks similar--probably made by THH as well. I use THH which are a little more expensive BUT are ACU approved--these are not, and THH have a surprisingly good spares support system. I have two, and the old one keeps truckin w...

I really think that trying to spec it to cope with serious hard trail work is missing the point--it would end up as too expensive and too tall--and only suit a small number of dedicated offroaders. Judging by the kind of bikes that people ride around the world and on the TET etc I think it would be ...

Thanks John--noted!!

I've just got a personal invoice from Lewis but have NOT paid it and told him that you are collecting all monies--hope thats ok?

OK John on the arrangements--its just that Lewis at the centre asked if I would like him to invoice me direct for a cabin. If you are taking cash on the day then two nights (Friday and Saturday) in a bunkhouse(snorers section), and two breakfasts please.

Ok, good to know that there will be spoked wheels, bit piss poor it is a "Power part" considering that it is sold as a adventure bike and I would have expected them as standard but hey it is what it is. So if it is coming in at 6200USD that is about 4800GBP, so I would guess RRP here will be what, ...

I also had the news pop up about this bike today and like many whilst I have a passing interest in it the cast wheel are a absolute deal breaker. I was "potentially" in the market for one of these to keep abroad out in Asia, esp as the domestic market vehicles are fairly feeble with their offerings...

Its all smoke and mirrors and one big pr stunt mostly in the wrong terrain for that hunk of junk--and I note that HD have actually launched a much more purposeful adventure bike with off road capability--rather like the Ducati scrambler--a much better choice. The "Zero" street trail bike would have ...

John--just spoken to Lewis at the centre to book a bunk but he can't open up particular parts yet-not decided---apparently the general manager has gone on leave and he is the only one with your number. Could you please phone Lewis at the centre with your number and then they can advise when they hav...
