Re: July Iceland
Great photos, it looks like you had a brilliant time. How did the bike hold up?
And now, Harry, let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.

Re: July Iceland
really well mate, no problems what so ever, only appeared under powered once and that was on a long steep climb where I started at the front and was over taken by everyone as the tiddler slowed on the climb, everywhere else it was very good and also got quite a lot of attention.Brenhden wrote:Great photos, it looks like you had a brilliant time.

With a bag system (Mosko Moto) I bought of Mike 54 I could carry all I need I just chucked a Lomo on top, but I travel light in any case. It returned something like 70 to the gallon overall (thumbs)
I treated her to a new chain and sprockets and a service and a new MOT no advisories (thumbs) and she is hopefully off to the HISS soon and then a "Iceland" reunion the weekend after (thumbs)
it's done 3000 miles this year (thumbs)
seriously looking at booking a return trip to Iceland for next year
cheers Spud
