The Dolomites, four men, six countries one small bike

It's lovely to read this! I've bought the CRF250 Rally that Slowboy used in this trip and it makes me happy to see how well it made the trip. I hope to be taking it South to the Pyrenees later this year.

Great ride report and inspirational, thats some serious milage on a Rally

A great start to a cool and slightly damp morning in the UK which brings back lots of fantastic memories of our own and reignites the spark for possibly revisiting .

Great report and proof that you can do big adventures on little bikes. Well done!

To be honest it runs better that it did when I got it at six months old (I know I would say that, I've just sold it ) and feels like it'll go on and on for a considerable time. It was a fantastic trip and the only thing the Rally won't do is bomb up the motorway at 90. It'll do 70 all day long on the speedo but it's happy between 55 and 65. It's needed nothing but routine maintenance, and when I did the valves at 16,000 miles, only the exhausts were just a bit tight.
It was a fine bike for the back roads and byways of Europe. It's been in the Picos, over the Pyrenees, over the alps and through the Dolomites, not to mention all over the UK. I will miss it terribly, it's probably the only bike I've kitted properly for traveling. Sadly the blooming virus and my health condition has me grounded for the foreseeable and I thought someone else should be out there on it rather than it being sat in the garage. I hope it does as good service for him as it did for me
I've still got my Super Cub, C90 and my 2000 Fazer 600. And the Super Cub is ready for some serious miles, when I can finally get out.
