Hi everyone,
i was on here some time ago and got a bit low in morale about bikes and travelling in general and i ended up selling everything apart from my trusty Suzuki DRZ400s. I dabbled with a Gas Gas TXT 250 pro but having got the trials bug out of my system,i had wanted a trials bike since i was a teenager have sold that.
I have re-discovered the joys of motorcycling and can,t wait to go wild camping on my bike again.
Steve.

Re: Return to the forum.
I had sold the MT350 which i had for ten years to buy a road/trail bike which was a bit bigger. I ended up with a BMW F800gs which was a bit heavy off road and it was such a nice looking bike i didn,t want to bash it about. I then sold it for a Suzuki DRZ400S which is ok on the road and good off road. I like the look of the new Honda CRF450L but it seems like Honda have gone a step backwards with it,s power output.
Having ridden a trials bike and several enduro bikes i know power isn,t everything and it is about how the power works off road. As this is a dual sport bike i think it needs 30bhp plus to make it viable on long road sections or why not just stick to a 250cc. I will see what the final production spec is and leave it for the first year to see how it is received by the general public.

Re: Return to the forum.
I had a Honda C90,it was a fantastic little bike and i wish i hadn,t sold it. The MT350 was great too. If i had the money i would buy a big lock up and keep every bike i ever owned. I had a Laverda Jota 180 and they are silly money now.
Thanks for the welcome messages. I have had a quick look on the forum and it seems to have changed for the better.
