I finally found some time to post to my travel blog. It is mostly so I can remember my journey as the old brain can not be trusted anymore...lol Anyways if you are wanting a short story and some pics, stop by for a read. https://www.grasshopperspath.ca/post/alleys-rivers-wooden-monsters

I'm working around Anglesey next week i'll keep my eye out for you. Personally i'd skip Anglesey and go around the Llyn Peninsular instead This is where i'll be, got a few sites to visit

I’m in the deep north of Portugal right now, will post a few google links for you next week. Today’s stop

Definitely not. Its going to most useful for our climb up the Grossglockner. Because its a fairly expensive toll road and is as much about the views as the road itself. we want the best conditions possible, Ideally a blue sky day, or at worst, any cloud much higher than the mountains. They have the same cameras up there.. Ive posted stills before on this thread. but here's the live link. getting a bit dark now mind. And they seem to have just had rain. https://edelweissspitze.panomax.com

I don't think he's that nervous anymore, he died in 1997

You'll be fine as your steering wheel is on the silly side

North Wales for me next Thursday, just a small bunch. Dudes coming from Devon, Durham, Hull, Lancaster and Runcorn. No trail riding just doing a road ride to Anglesey.

Why? You planning on emptying your piss bottle in Bob's bed as well?

Miss Australia got the pannier rails as I don't want them...........

Fitted my tool tube to Miss America today.............

Is that a gingers bike?

Sold out. You are just jealous.

Aberystwyth then round the coast to st pauls bay, tenby via horse shoe pass then return up the centre of wales..... n that

We had to make a change in plans as the weather here is very cold for Spring. Where we were headed had fresh snow the other day so we decided to hang out at a lovely B&B in the countryside for a few days. Then we are either headed to Prince George, British Columbia....or into the next Province (Alberta) to look at a travel trailer.......that's what happens when you get an internet connection after a week, you start shopping.....lol We are looking at maybe something like this...

Its a massive plus that there are so many of these webcams about, makes rides a lot less risky, we can simply check on conditions before setting off. Its a shame we won't get that same view though, as the main road runs along the base of that central mountain.. but hey ho. we might have a detour.

That looks epic, thanks very much Pedro.

I only want to look at the Menai bridge and go to Beaumaris Castle Fred.

Nice blog @Grasshopper's Ride Love the stick Yeti Bigfoot thingy!

Trying to contain my excitement while watching how the spring thaw is progressing. (scrollable live webcam - new image every 10 minutes) https://valgardena.panomax.com/dantercepies

Over there would be better! And it doesn't seem like any of them missed @Six30? Unlike what happened in my case of course! What can we learn from this?

Livin' The Dream!

Son.

Its what he does with the polish that fucks him up not the cleaning

Well that’s the bike clean … might go on the running machine for 20 and do some press ups or something

We are waiting for the real bike. The Wang King 325.

WTF is the matter with you idiots? You all kept complaining about this thread going on and on.......and 4 days after the bike was revealed you're still keeping it going!

How dirty can it get in the back of a van?

Cleaning bike … don’t feel tired

knackered after cleaning it ....

I agree, DIY is cool. I converted a cargo van into a really nice camper a few years ago. Unfortunately I was not able to use it as I had wanted too and had to sell it. Good luck with your project.

Thats the easy way,im converting Woody into a camper, DIYing rocks.

What's not to like, def be more comfortable in there, safer too.

Bit of volume needed for this. Hope my neighbour appreciated the walls shaking a minute ago.

I always found my 600lm a little disappointing power wise but can see why it'd fit the sand well with it's flat power and soggy suspension. Kind of miss the old thing. Think I'd have fitted a Domi engine if I kept it.

This is a pretty bike and I like it. Don't think I'm suited to a sports bike and the way they do corners, but I like this. 170hp also would mean my license would be gone in 2 weeks

In for the kill...

I thought I would explain my upcoming adventure as a few of you have asked. I know @Tym tried to explain it, but here is the story @Six30. In a nutshell we, my partner and I, are selling or giving away everything we own expect what we need on the adventure. Wrapping up over 20 years of a long chapter in life. This has been a dream for awhile and we have been working towards this for years now. With our dog passing over the holidays it meant that we can put the final pieces in place. The big stuff can go now, like the bikes, guitars, the big toys and such. Then we need to sell our little house and beautiful property. The housing market here is crazy right now. High prices and low inventory. We have paid for the place, so we can afford to retire early from work we dislike and travel for a few years. Still having enough to settle down again, when and if we decide too. Once everything is gone we will hit the road with the new adventure team of Gazoo, the 4Runner and our new canoe (still to be named). The idea is to just travel around Canada, with the North being the first destination. Artic Circle here I come!!!! Then the East Coast and beyond. Taking photos all along the way, and I hope to find the time to write as well. We have all the camping gear you could imagine, no need to be miserable out there....lol. But yes @XTreme there might lots of tent photos....lol Canada was practically built on the waterways in canoes, so I want to trace some of the heritage and history as well. I want to meet new people, see new places and learn lots of bushcraft. I am so very excited about this new adventure and scared of course, it is a big deal wrapping up a life you know so well for the unknown. I appreciate this forum very much as it allows me a place to share and almost clear my thoughts. I will try and keep it to my Grasshopper thread, as someone did wish for me to hit the door in my recent poll, don't want to get on people's nerves and all.....
