Don’t panic, it’s not one of those ‘guess-what-I-might-buy’ threads but a simple heads up that now the Suzuki DR600S is almost sorted and ready to take over dirt duties the Himalayan needs to be outed for something more road orientated. Off to Alicante in the morning to see a tidy Kawasaki z750 with not many klms and as pretty as a pretty thing. Plenty fast enough for an old man.

It's back! Came on a trailer not a van......with another Beemer that's being delivered to Murcia now. Lorenzo the driver reckons he won't be back home in Granada till 1AM. And to mark this joyous occasion I did a "This is The Style" vid......you stupid fuckers need to check this out!

I want a pic of it being wheeled out the van @XTreme

Very true……..anyway I might get it resprayed into the Kawasaki Team France colours of red, green and white. Obviously it will turn me into a riding god.

That ‘shit on it’ you refer to is obviously flies, which proves that Lorenzo drives his car faster than you’ve ridden a bike

Do they sell Teutonic oil belchers at top price......................... asking for a friend

No sweat.....I need a BOTM shot anyway.

You need to ask them to take those red stripes off even if they don't sell it to you, just to gain karma points in the universe.

7.30 this evening it's back!

Not only that but a new ABS module fixed an oil leak.

This is a fucking cracker … you best sit down and hold on to your ribs fellas …. @XTreme been told his bike is all done and he is getting it back .

To the Dago motorcycle shop …

It's a Givi Trekker! Not to be confused with a George Foreman Grill.

Getting trolled by Marcel is a new low.

Pete at 8pm

Very drunk. I've been green laning... On foot. Looking at butterflies. Threatened to rain earlier but it soon changed its mind and put the blue back up. Currently supping a (french sized) pint, listening to conversations in German, Dutch, French, and Belgian, and waiting for the food to roll up. No sign of Tony yet.

Holy shit she's horny.

It'll go ok, it's a BMW

Nice one Pete hope it goes ok from now on.

Current Location. Got very drunk last night. 2 Abbey beers on top of a salad = twatted. But another fine day in store!

Those dago midgets will be be waiting for you in abandoned buildings, get out and get bummed.

You should of told him the other one was yours

Fingers crossed Keith.

Now would you believe it.....it's started fucking raining. We haven't had a drop in the month it was away!

10 days

I give it a week.

This thread should be renamed “Gammon and Mange Love”

So instead of being miserable about my clutch I decided to do something completely deranged instead (as one does). The Hanuman Enduro Competition was so far out of my comfort zone, I really thought I must have lost my mind when I signed up for it. But it also turned out to be one of the destroying and affirming experiences I've put myself through in years (and I have a bit of a record of putting myself in out-there situations). It was just... wow. I wrote up the full story on my blog bikehedonia.com

Give this Power Ranger Pussy an Incomprehensible Warning PM @Clive

You can never lose a Tony. Well that's not true, there's times when it's undeclared "time to get a move on" but no, he went out and I stayed around the campsite to tend to my sore head and swollen uvula. He's now back, full of kebab and with a 4 pack of tartelletes, empty but for a few crumbs.

Shut it ya silly old welsh

Anyone seen the tracking number? Mine wont update.

And not a single oil leak

That's just rip off Spain for you much cheaper in a civilised country https://motorcyclepartswarehouse.co.uk/gloss-black-chopped-tour-pak-top-box-luggage-for-harley-davidson-touring-97-13.html

That's perfect , you should get a t-shirt made for yourself

You can have my Himalayan @XTreme for €2,500 before I part-ex it. Very reliable. One careful owner. Never been dropped. Never seen dirt. Never been thrashed (it’s impossible with 25 bhp).

But your deck of cards contains all the bloody 2s there's no aces in your hand

Dodging feckin puddles again .............

What Pete is expecting to look like when going for a ride after they've gone through his bike, out on a casual sunday ride:

Fuck these guys, Pete you're being made fun of by three guys that together own a KLR, a Harley, and a Ducati that sounds like a box of nuts every time it's started, his biggest mileage on two wheels is done on a Transit. Let them fix the GS, ride it around for a couple of months and then sell it on, and keep your eye out for another. These bikes are either the best most reliable thing ever or a pain in the ass, more so if the mechanic isn't specialized in them.

I don’t know. There’s quite a bit of History between Portugal and Spain though, one of the oldest in Europe. @Sofiais the one to talk to as she knows everything there is to know about our History and kings. It might have something to do with our side of the border always being the prettiest from what I’ve seen, or them being simply water hoarding twats, who knows? We’re just cooler and I think they resent it…

@Sofia had a 4 cylinder 250cc in England! pistons the size of thimbles…
