Re: Its quiet, lets stir those little grey cells

As I mentioned before, I was once coming back down the road from Tyndrum, sitting at 60 MPH on the speedo, when a dog suddenly rushed out from the trees (no fences on this road) and I narrowly missed crashing into it. We ride bikes that do not tell us the real speed that we are doing and also with ...

Re: Forst of Bowland campsites?

I’d suggest Google it and ring round, quite a lot of them are shut or full. We struggled to find a site for three nights next week, although admittedly not in that area.

Re: Lost in the Sierra de las Nieves Spain

I’m glad you got out alright, but if I might be permitted to observe, a bit of planning and not abandoning the technology when it failed to give the anticipated result might have had a more measured outcome. The wilderness is not scary. It’s an entirely survivable place given some basic competence i...

Re: Moto Guzzi Stornello

Thanks for your reply Slowboy (Love that name :D ) At the moment I own a Triumph Tiger 800xc (2011) and Moto Guzzi V7ii (2015) I am going to sell the Triumph, but either keep the V7 or trade it for a newer Viii iteration, or I was thinking of a Stornello. I would like to do some 'light' greenlaning...

Re: Go Big and Ride Small

Utterly brilliant sir. And you got to go over the Stelvio, the day I was due to go up it early last september on my Rally the weather broke and they had nearly 2' of snow on the upper part and it was closed.
Very impressed and my Super Cub is very jealous😁

Re: Maxi-Scooter's - Go Big and Ride Big

That's a nice machine you have there. I came very close to buying one myself recently but ended up with a Fazer 600. Always had a soft spot for the maxi scooters. I bought one of the. First Burgman 400's in the UK back in the day and very impressive it was too. My wife still thinks it's the most com...
