Re: Husqvarna 701

Freestyles in East Sussex had enduro and sm demo bikes and the new weird Vitpilen things. Them Vitpilen things are horrible, it might get better if they put the numberplate back to give it a tail but it’s much like a moped(fun to ride but dont want your mates seeing you on it) Sent from my iPhone u...

Re: The Real Cost of Greenlaning

So if you get a doall bike and can commute to work you can sell it to the wife on creating efficiencies I tried that with my 690..... So ended up buying the Husky 450 as I wasn’t good enough a rider to cope with the 690 on nadgery trails. Then decided to sell my classic Triumph........ And ended up...

Re: Wild Life you've encountered riding your bike.

I’ve got them for the wrap around glasses, which work very well, but the nosepiece fitting is different in the goggles and, as they...

Re: A photo you took, today

Just spotted the open sea, which is not a Copenhagen harbour, in my useless opinion.
