Now there's a Twat! He won MOTY and TOTY in the same year (never done before) then went completely fucking insane.

That kind of success carries the kind of pressure that can break anyone, Pete.

Hello & Greetings from British Columbia, Canada. I would like to introduce my trusty ride, his name is Bagheera! Looking forward to getting to know the community and sharing some Grasshopper & Bagheera adventures. ?

Spot on. And then now and again you think, what the hell.

you too have ;isconstrued my original point, but I can't see who to explain myself better. more sucinctly perhaps would be : some people prefer to avoid any interaction, for fear of giving offence or being accused of giving offence. Am i the only one who percieves this?

Post up a few of your pics in the Gallery because British Columbia isn't somewhere we normally see.

Hello!

What happened to Marcel?

I remember visiting this place when i was a kid, it was really cool back in 1961 or so...they have added a bit since i see...

It would, so they made everything tiny ....

Hi and welcome.

Welcome in.

I've always been a huge fan of those bikes!

Excellent! You're the third RE owner here now.......there's also @Skippy and @Muddy.

Welcome, young Grasshopper!

I'm a bit confused by this thread really. I don't see any riders out.....let alone females........but if I did I'd behave just as I would with a man. I don't see there's any difference really.......if I spoke to a woman why would she think I was trying to chat her up? In the same way as if I spoke to a man why would he think I'm grooming him? If we look at what we know so far about you and your French mates, it appears to be that they don't want to go anywhere that's too hot, they don't want to go anywhere where there's foreigners, they don't want to go anywhere where people are not speaking French, and they don't want to go anywhere where there's women? Have you ever considered the possibility that all of you are seriously weird fuckers? What do you make of this Frenchy shit @Tym?

Hi! ?

Ok. Ill try to explain myself better. my original point was that To avoid the risk of giving a percieved offence we say nothing. A sad state of affairs that suits mo ones purpose. and if you think that sexual stereotyping is dead in the workplace im Europe you are very wrong my friend. I am currently helping 3 teenage daughters with their career choices.... believe you me sexism is alive and well in the career world. I also had to get rid of my best mechanic last year, fired for sexual harrassement in the workplace. Hes 10 yrs younger than me so its not just the “old guard” either.

Girls, holding their own and making their way in a male dominated milieu on equal terms on is admirable, be it on bikes or whatever else. It has nothing to do with their sex, or looks or whatever but because they are bucking the trend and breaking down barriers that have been imposed by society for decades. for exactly the same reason I admire a blind person travelling alone, a physically disabled person carrying on as normal and doing stuff society doesn't expect.

You missed the point, I have no problem talking to the girls, the problem is the potential consequences of that being misinterpreted. like I said you can't even reply to a girl riders post in some places without people calling you out as a lecher or a perv cos she's half your age and better looking than you are. This may be done originally as a jibe but are the sort of accusations that, even jokingly intended, can have serious consequences.

Stuart Fordyce! Well remembered Bruce.......I wonder where he is now?

Yeah, seen it. It's a good review that covers the strong points of the Himalayan. I've had some trouble with it, but a lot of it is down to me. I was never one for doing the difficult servicing tasks and decided that on the Himalayan I'd start. Slowly I've got to grips with it and sorted out the problems. I'm really enjoying this bike. It's a change for sure, but a good one.
