Where did you ride 2day ?

[CRAIGREVO]

I went off-roading with a couple of friends in Offchurch, got stuck, fell off, boots filled with water, and had a ball doing it. Now I need to find something to stop my boots scratching hell out of my side panels. :whistle: Any suggestions welcome.

Try helicopter tape Craig. Its a very thin clear plastic film that sticks on. You can get it off ebay.

Sadly I had to work 2day (monday), here I am stopping for a break after collecting some Plumbing joints

You are so lucky Nomad - such lovely weather and blue skys

On Sunday, I finished bolting the bike together after a service and upgrades so couldn't resist going for a ride even in the rain.

Also playing with a new cam, and trailing adobe elements before parting with my money so please excuse the rubbish video, but it provides a taste of my local roads and weather at the weekend - I think its a little more interesting after a few minutes, but just playing/learning how to edit videos!

This has been bugging me since reading this. Used to have the same problem on trials bikes.
To cure it I used clear "Fablon" sticky back plastic on a roll.
Did'nt post the suggetion as I was'nt sure it's still available.
Went to B&Q tonight and it is :woohoo:
Comes in many various colours and patterns and clear gloss!
4 metre roll, 450mm wide. £5.00 I think.

I jumped on the Varadero, blasted south to Dover and hit the ferry to calais. a fast ride South through France and into glorious Spanish sunshine. Rode the plains getting warmer all the time as I headed to Gibraltar. A quick ferry to Cueta and ever South toward Morrocco, great scenery, food and developing a good tan, bike running well it was like a dream.


"Oh damn it"




Alarm has just gone off, fallen out of bed, its raining, I hate Cumbria in winter

Lifes a bitch!

I have to go to Auxerre in France on Monday to quote for a job, so what better plan than visit The Ace Cafe then drop the Topbox off Near Reading, which I sold on here last week and then the overnight crossing Portsmouth-Caen then 250 miles of the finest French back roads then a couple more days plodding round the Loire Valley before returning!

& its not a dream!!!!
Can`t wait :cheer: :cheer:

Today I rode to Wales. Woke up this morning and felt like a ride so thought I'd start the nature rally off. I love the Brecon Beacons, have hiked/camped there many times, so thought I'd go there as I've not been for a while. Forgotten how lovely it is and this is the first time I've been on a bike rather than on a train. The roads are great. I even found a little greenlane to play on, although I wouldn't have gone on it if it wasn't dry. Avon Storms are not known for their mudplugging abilities. Hmmm, "TKCs" you say? "Be easy" you say? :side:

A common (or garden) Brecon road:



The Beacons Reservoir in the Taff Fawr Valley:



A rest stop for a quick tuna sandwich:



I'll put the greenlaning picture up somewhere else, not sure if its frowned upon to post the same picture in different posts.

[CRAIGREVO]

Great photos.

You worry to much about what frowned upon, just post away but if its wrong then you will be hunted down and killed :whistle:

I don't know how long TKCs would last on a bandit, or you on a bandit with TKCs for that matter. :blink:
