Just found out about this talk at the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu on 6th December: https://nationalmotormuseum.org.uk/bearback-the-world-overland/ It's by Drs Pat and Ness Garrod who rode an R100GS around the World 'two-up' and then another GS to circumnavigate Africa. They wrote about their a...

Thanks for the tip off. Picked up one of the chairs on Saturday morning, an absolute bargain at that price. Seems to be pretty well made and take my weight (fifteen stone) without a problem.

I have a mate who refers to 'little adventures'. If the time and circ...

I've been trying to get round to posting a few words and pictures about my recent trip to Patagonia for ages, having made a few posts on gbags thread.
