As we begin our adventure there is a sign located at the bottom of the gravel road that reads, "If you get lost today, will anybody know?" ? A small reminder that we are entering the backcountry and you should be prepared as possible. So off we go, trusting our Royal Enfield Himalayans will keep us riding. As we travel up and up the forest rolls by and the sound of Gray Creek hangs in the mist. What more could you ask for? Bubbles, that's what, and we have those too. ?

A vid of Tymie on a Tomos.

I started a rumour you had died in a S&M accident. Now you have ruined it.

Could it be because you have a tendency to shoot at them Tym?

.......the sound of a big Thumper!

sorry I copied and pasted from farcepuke on my phone and as you know i'm a complete arse with all things computerised... what I should ave done was link it https://www.rideapart.com/articles/448215/yamaha-tenere-700-travel-spy-photos/

That can actually can’t

To infinity and beyond LOL

That was the first one, the one you borrowed to go for the left at home ignition key. The best as well, the MK2 was not as good but had better ( so WMB ) told us, gearbox.

Tammy has one of these they probably are a good idea for when you forget your cellphone and...

You can be the rancid meat in their sandwich.

Autumn colours all over the place today.... ??

I did manage to drag myself out of bed and change the oil and filter on the 650 today, I also got the forks off flushed them out and refilled with new oil. It was a mess in there i fitted new fork bushes 2000 miles ago and this was the first oil change i think i should have done it earlier like you do with a new engine. There was literally no damping from the forks and thought i might have to strip the forks right down to see what's going on but the new oil has made a huge difference. This is a little story of why i wanted to check the forks out The last time i was out on the bike i was motoring along a mountain track i know well, there is a big dip from subsidence on it which i usually just fly over with no problem, there were some kids standing by the dip this day talking, they were up there on their little dirt bikes, great time for a pose i thinks so i kept the gas on going over the dip when i landed i just about bottomed out front and rear suspension as i normally do but this time carried on with a power wheelie as i rode along the track, must have looked cool from where the kids were standing. But on board the bike was a different story the 650 doesn't have enough go in it for power wheelies and what really happened was after compressing the front end it rebounded so fast the front end catapulted into the air where i was doing my best to keep on the the bloody thing and kept going so the kids didn't see the look of fear in my face LOL

Keep it quiet Pete you don't want that racket spoiling the ride

the only TOMOS I ever used was an outboard motor for a dingy, more use as an anchor than a motor...

Reminds me of my Kwak 500 Triple 45 years ago!

So true, I always ride with someone. Thanks for watching, it was a great spot. It will be fun to go back in the spring when the water is even higher. ?

I do like that chrome

Yes Bob......but doesn't it actually have a use with some gasses passing through it somehow?

sugar and milk;; Well i have had the Big C twice more but still here to make life a total misery for those who know me::: The list of bikes has gone down to: Honda::: C70, Innova 125cc and a Honda Forza 300 scooter:: still can not get out and about with these bloody Welsh lock downs, I can't move out of Flintshire and you could bloody walk boarder to boarder in an hour.... Awaiting new bike in 2021 when Honda pull the middle digit out.

Do I remember rightly in thinking that the left silencer is false (not actually hooked up ) ??

The dual cans are cool.

Id rather ride alone, i dont get on well with others.

Riding with another rider is the best you can do, I wouldn’t worry. Great video and what a gorgeous place you found!

We had a dry summer i think most our leaves just dropped dead and fell a month ago.

well another season has been announced over.. first flight of Cranes heading south went through just after lunch today...

Update, i got her started again. Why is beyond me. Photo from McCooks point park pushing start spot.

Right up until i had to push her home again. POS.

Are we talking about the Tomos or the KLR Rog?

TAR SNAKES!!! ? A casual ride along Highway 101 on the Sunshine ? Coast of British Columbia. A quiet misty day in September makes for a lovely ride, although there is one hazard to watch out for. The dreaded TAR SNAKE!!!.... Some fresh tar snakes from the summer were still a bit tricky to navigate, even on a cooler day. Pick your line wisely Grasshopper! ?
