ideal trail/adventure bike?

[garyboy]

Gary think of it like golf, you would never attempt a round of golf with only one club. Its a hobby and if you can afford it why not have a full set of bikes as you would clubs

Nice analogy

[garyboy]

Yes Dave .. A van plus a light enduring type bike plus real knoblies is starting to really apeal.

In (affordable) theory anyway

When I stopped trailriding I had a van+husaberg 390 and a 1200gs for 2up touring and gravel roads.
Now, uk trailriding doesn't appeal but over the 15 years prior to that I always had 2 or 3 bikes to cover all types of use.
In all honesty the Honda CB500x should cover the middle ground of adventure type riding or a CRF500.

All sounds very sensible. Tony

......... you don't buy a masonry drill to make a hole in metal.

There's always a but

I buy masonry drills and resharpen the carbide to drill hardened steel, their very good at it and cheaper than getting a cobolt jobber drill.
