I've been fiddling with camera settings and software settings int he video editor still cant make these vids look any better LOL

Everything is Pete's fault, pass it on.

Well a name has been given to my new Honda.... Meet Charlotte everyone! (From a favourite book of mine, Charlotte's Web) She looks good with Gazoo (my 4Runner)

Lutefisk is soaked in lye, not vinegar. My grandmother came over to America on a boat from Norway. Virtually all holiday meals were at her place while I was growing up, and never once did I see lutefisk. She thought it was disgusting. Damn she made some good donuts though. And chocolate chip cookies too. which reminds me, I haven't had any chocolate yet today. WTF? Excuse me, I gotta go...

Good thing I will have a new bike to show next month.... The Himalayan love seems to be gone... ?

Good reason...Snow makes or breaks the man, the machine, and optical digital zooms on cheap chi.com chit. The only GS's we see are powered by chinese rotaxes....last thing germans made was a world war ya know....and they fucked that up, you know why? B M W.

That'll be south Essex, if you want a Tudor mansion in this bit and you have the cash there are plenty about. I reckon there are about 3 millionaires on every tiny country lane here judging by the houses you see as you ride around. And those are just the ones you can see, some have drives that put their front door half a mile from a public road. Wool trade wealth built most of them in the 1300 - 1600s I suspect, and the stock market and bank robbing pays for the upkeep now.

So I'm thinking about making a visit to spain for a week to see what havoc can be caused on xtreme(Pete's) manor and go on a few jollys on the bike with him as tour guide. Now to the nitty gritty of it, I am planning on going for the 2nd weekend in September as the holiday season will have finished by then and fingers crossed the flights should be more affordable, I did plan to ride down on my bike but at 1600 miles each way let alone what will be covered whilst there it would just prove way too expensive soo....my 2nd plan is to fly out to spain and hire a bike from the airport and ride to his area staying in a bnb or hotel. Bike hire is £525 and for that you can swing your leg over a tiger 800 or 1200 whichever takes your fancy though for where we would be riding the 800 would be a better choice. So my aim here really is to see if any of you guys would be up for joining in on the adventure so dont be shy book ya spots on this tour of a lifetime

I just ordered a new helmet to match her. Plus a lovely leather jacket and some sexy riding jeans. ?

It's covid, the world has gone to shit.

Fucking hell, @Lone Amigo, don´t you have a boring story in you?

Keep me posted mate and if everything pans out I might be able to tag along for a bit ?

The only future i see is the next bathroom.

I have no trust in myself to venture somewhere out of the way in a bike put together by me. I tried doing that to the XR a while ago and the poor thing sat in the garage for ages half torn apart. Plus, the GS is the bike for me to tour on. I have thought of something more offroady for Morocco, but I just couldn't leave my bike in the garage on this next trip.

leave me out of it

Was that another "Motion Pro"?

I think my first time on a bike was on the back of my uncles BMW exactly the same as this one. it was after that i started dreaming about bikes My first go on a bike solo was on a friends old trail bike haven't a clue what it was i was probably about 12 year old i had a straight line fixation and almost went down a 20ft grass bank on it but somehow turned away from it at the last second. My second go on a bike was a different friends OSSA 250 trials bike, i think i was around 13. Now that one did go over a 20ft drop. I rode wobbly along what was the old canal at the time and when i started to turn around the bike got the better of me and went up a grass bank which had about a 20ft drop the other side into the the cutting they were digging out for the new dual carriageway to Merthyr, I had managed to drop the bike on the edge as it went over and was holding onto it with all my strength but i couldn't hold it and over it went i can still picture it hitting the floor front wheel first on full lock i climbed down to it but couldn't start it as i didn't know it needed to be in neutral to kick it. In the meantime my mate turned up looking for me, i told him i flipped the bike trying to ride over the rocks, he congratulated me on getting to where i was on a first go as he struggled riding it out lol. i found out later he got rid of the bike shortly after because it had a twisted frame ? At about 14 or 15 my mate had a C90 which is what i really learned to ride on, we went everywhere on it taking it in turns to ride it totally illegal searching the valleys for pussy to impress Next came my first bike it was a DT175mx, well i needn't mention what trouble that got me into It was in real good condition and everything worked on it. Looked like this one Then i made one of the worst mistake of my life i swapped the DT for a Honda CB400N superdream thinking i could swap it for a 125 easier but how wrong i was, all i could get being young and easy to rip off was a CB100N, but i was now road legal and had started my life of two wheeled adventures

I know, I'm just a wealth of information, but someone has to take care of quality content here.... Mosko Moto also have some options you could check out, I love their stuff.

Hello and welcome to this strange and messed up place. ? I would check out Giant Loop, they have some really good options for most KTM bikes. They have great quality stuff.

I’m the first!

This is a pointless question as we don't have any KTM riders ?

I’m looking for a midrange size tank bag, around 15-20L. Can be locking type or straps. What are you KTM guys using? Thanks

All those colours match my new grey helmet.

That looks quality Michelle!

I like!

There's a ferry to Santander, and considering covid you might get a deal. Spain has the cheapest fuel in Europe after Luxembourg, too.

Understandable... OK, I'll not take back my vote for your bike this month. ?

The love is there. It's the BMW on a wide open dirt road and blue sky, they made me do it

What's that the road to nowhere.....looks like something from an apocalypse movie

You also might be able to meet up with @Skippy (Murcia) and @DangerRuss58 (Alicante/Valencia).

I voted Pedro, real surprised to see skip has no votes with that back drop.

@Pedro was planning to motor across (Covid permitting) so maybe you two could meet up. Pedro speaks Spanish so that would make things a lot easier......plus, if you're flying into Malaga then he'll be heading across from that direction.

Get down to fucking Swansea then!

I haven’t got a fishy fanny.?

At our age EVERYTHING is Memory Lane Pedro! No future......just a past full of binning bikes and fishy fannies! Tell him @Clive @Swagman

That’s also true, starting with the “playing outside” part

Your just jealous i need snow boots to go play outside. ?

"as far as I can see" proving my theory.

Well you got my vote for toty on another forum, and now you got it for a great picture on here.??

Think it's safe to say that "Woodstock" feeling is long gone for all of us!

I see what you did there! So, this vote will be closed tomorrow night, GMT. Just thought I'd say so in case you wish to change it again ...

Another thing, this, with downswept duals please like the old SL hondas had:

Did @Catteeclan just imply he has a bigger tool for the job?

Last Wednesday I went on another organised ride out of around 420km..when I say organised well because of the new restrictions here you can only have a "meeting" with two people so three of us got together for a little bimble in the mountains. the problem I have is I live a fair way from the meeting place if you look at the map the red blob near the coast is where I live. Now not far from the meeting place there are some roadworks, new roads being built new roundabouts and even though I keep my sat nav up to date these particular road improvements hadn't yet made the update page. anyway I was sent up what was once the correct road but now nothing more than a mud track then a gravel track and in the middle of it all new tarmac...go figure! I followed this a for a couple of clicks then realised that because of a fence between the roads the only options was to turn around and back track which is where i got things a little wrong LOL. We eventually ended up in a place called Noria Hidraulica in the mountains which is where the oldest still in use wooden water wheel is located. On the way to the meeting place I was using my SJ cam I have been having trouble with high pitch screaming on the audio track, this time I had no sound at all so please excuse incidental music. I am putting together another vid of the trip where I used my go pro but that's for later.

Yes you are! We have quite a varied range of bikes here.....but no KTM's.

I have no experience of any of KTM's current line up but owned 950/990 Adventures for 15 years. On those bikes I used a Wolfman Enduro tank bag, I still have it and it's still works just fine.

Good man, I'm Bob by the way ,what's your name ?
