Just got off the phone with the Honda dealer........ I think I sweet talked the salesman into doing a delivery.....we shall see ohhhhhh I AM EXCITED......stay tuned ?

I am a firm believer in that you can ride big distances on any bike as long as it can cruise at about 65 mph. Along with some mates we did a tour from the UK right across to the old east Germany, down through the Czech Republic, northern Italy and back home through France. 3000 miles in eight days. All on XR650’s and not a problem. Adjust your mindset and all is well. ?

Ladies and Gentlemen......may I present the newest member of our Internet Bad Boy Club....... @Swagman Because it appears he's now got himself canned by another forum! And without even an Incomprehensible Warning PM first! He don't fuck about does he? It just goes to show that even if you're a dribbling, incontinent, braindead twat in an Old Folks Home.....it doesn't mean that you're past kicking shit off on the Net. So I hope you'll join me in congratulating him on his promotion to this elite level. The downside is that we're now stuck with the old fucker forever! Cos nobody else will have him.

What about something like these is the quality good enough and will they fit

Bad Old Gits though Keith! We're old and we just don't care! Not even the phrase "Life in Prison" holds any fear for us now!

It’s so nice to be welcomed into this elite bunch of mostly old gits??

Besides, that picture screams homeless broke bum in need of a tow.

Reminds me of a time in Borneo, when we held off a village of man eaters, me, my faithfull man servant Pashtoon, and a mule named Buck mined Bat chit for homemade gunpowder, forming a cannon out of a hollowed log, we directed a massive blast wiping out 47 centuries of indiginous life forms. I had a camera, i dropped it in lake Bulltalky, so sorry.

better start tying some string to those bullets, @Tym, reel them back

Anyway, back to Michelle. The right bike for you will be the one YOU choose. Just go with your heart and what's available for your budget.

Weight is ok until you have to push them around in the yard or garage, I’ve never had a problem with weight when riding on standard roads.

Lame threads? I distintly remember somebody ( who's name should be silenced forever and buried in the concrete of an underpass along with it's owner) faking an accident, with phtos and the lot

Time to trade up ? https://www.kawasaki.com/en-us/motorcycle/klr/dual-sport/klr650?cm_re=FEATUREDVEHICLESLANDING-_-FEATUREDVEHICLES-_-VEHICLEBUCKET

Take Canada, big mistery, where is it, kinda like portugal. Average slob has no idea... Ya;ll need better tourist agencies with bigger budgets.

Oh Yes, we have now come to identify this condition as "Petetus dermatitis"....starts with an itch and then before you can help yourself you are saying personal thoughts out loud. The rash will spread and you will no longer be in your right mind. No cure known to date....well there is one, but it involves hairy butts and a boat. Best to just not itch!

So many calls have been made, YES they WILL deliver. They will even add on the discount that was coming to this weekends big sale, which pays for delivery and some. Funny story, I said to the nice fella, please make sure the bikes have a good going over before delivery, as my last experience was horrible. (My bike came with many broken items, dash, front tire, etc... all after being "checked") Then he realized that he knew who I was. He had been working at the dealership that sold us the Himalayans. Him and another employee left and now work for Honda. So they knew all about my troubles and we all had a giggle. Then he said, that won't happen here! What bike is it, well we wait on that a bit longer for that, anticipation is fun. Now I need some new pants, something more suited to street riding....oh and a new helmet.....

Nope, I have been on enough bikes to know what I like. I have done hours and hours of research and the bike I am getting will be like putting on a familiar sweater. I also like to live a little wild......lol

we're on the 4th generation of those, they even have them in a small trailor, capable of controlling simultaneously 4 lanes of traffic both directions.... funny thing is though... they keep getting burnt, or shot, or painted out... but you're right, big power is pretty pointless these days, unless you live near a german autobahn

New improved cam tensioner guide materal.

Is it a Honda

I do like a good theory, I’d like to see why and how I have suddenly become a person of interest.?

@Grasshopper's Ride will be along later to give you her theory on what could have caused this change in behaviour!

Well i been a member since 2012 so it’s taken me a long time to be naughty.??

Stick to Tools my man!

Some do hog belly futures, i do redneck pm reports. For research purposes i invested exackly $300 in 22 long rifle ammo in 2019. Today that pile is now worth over $3000 at gun show prices.

and get the best Harley you can find.

No and it’s mine either matron has to lead me to Loo.

At these prices just hit rewind on the old ones..

I totally agree with you Ray, my CRF250 Rally took me to France and back twice before it was two years old. Just avoid motorways and it's superb, the bonus is 80mpg as well

He saves weight by not carrying a camera Bob!

Fuckmine, that's heavier than your bus ?

I'm pretty good on geography so yes I'm happy that I know where everything is................. Apart from Africa, some countries on that continent seem to change their names very 5 minutes ?

This is where I live! Yes....it's full of freaks.....but at least there's very few knuckledragging Brits! No one here gets out alive!

Visor down was huge before the capitalist swine pig dogs killed it.

I did lots of long trips on my KLR when i first got it, only because Tammy was nuts for long weekend rides 2000 mile 3 day trips were the norm for awhile till we both got Connies. Its nicer having 1000cc's and locking luggage.

The World's Largest Fiddle.....now there is something to be proud of. https://www.cbisland.com/businesses/worlds-largest-fiddle/

So what is the best oil anyway?

This is a photo of the weight. you dozy ginger numpty.

I don't suppose you've got.......or maybe not?

Here's a older one of my Blue Blackbird in Oregon. The building is the old world war 2 blimp hanger. the next one is the Columbia river where it meets the Pacific ocean. Grand Canyon shot Old gas station in Utah Bonneville Salt flats in Utah I loved that Blackbird, It was simply bullet proof. Sold it to a friend with 160000 kilometers on the clocks. Over 100000 kilometers on it alone came from touring across Canada and the States a bunch of times.

Near Misso, Estonia at the Russian border. Grim weather.

@Skippy There you go Ray, same spot in 2013. Took me over an hour to dig those out

@Skippy I reckon that was taken on top the fort on Monte Jaffreau ??

This young lady

Its hard to look a sheep skin without thinking about the poor life that sheep had in Wales only to be a seat cover after death...
