    True. There used to be grants to help people to get it done..........
  3. Wow, they really did come in a three! I hope that your missus and dog are both doing ok now? That's a shame about the Pod! I first went there in the early 1980's and would leave all my bike gear, etc in the tent with no worries. Unfortunately there are gangs of thieves who target any big events these days. Which event was it that you were competing in? Hopefully the car can be fixed OK too?
  4. The tax on new cars is horrendous there, too, from what I've heard.
  5. One thing that I've noticed about living here, is that many people are not badge snobs, so consequently bikes like the Himalayan still go for good money! But it's worthy of consideration if one comes up at the right price. As an aside, my OH's brother has a Bullet and an old CG125, which are his only vehicles. So he goes all over the place on them loaded up with camping gear for his holidays. He loves both of those bikes.
  6. Secondhand prices here vary wildly, but they're all towards the upper end! It seems, from what I've seen on the selling sites, that the smaller capacity bikes are nearly all motocrossers or proper trials bikes, which are not road legal. Then there's a gap and the trail/enduro bikes are mostly 600cc+. Very rarely does a road legal small capacity bike come up and they are often 70's, 80's or 90's bikes that the seller immediately think are classic and bump the price up to ridiculous sums! So, it's looking like something like an XT660, DR650, KLE650 or similar are the most available options and even then some sellers want silly money for a nail! The search continues!
  7. Yes, Pete. I've just been watching a review on YouTube on it. Looks pretty interesting and the base price is not too bad either. I'm not sure when they'll be available for test rides and I suspect there will be a lot of interest in it.
  8. The only problem with the Honda is that it's got too much plastic to break if I drop it. So, I was thinking something old and ratty for exploring offroad, something that would probably be improved by dropping it.
  9. She'll catch Covid if she doesn't put her mask on properly!
  10. She won't be shitting herself at the power of that thing, though!
  11. Definitely, Dave.....I consider myself to be a bit of an expert now!
  12. My second moped, after I destroyed my Raleigh Runabout! But, I went on a motocross taster day years back......the 450cc bikes were all mental! The 250cc's were just about controllable on that circuit for us novices!
  13. She doesn't even know how to dress herself!
  14. Yeah, the idea is not to kill myself!
  15. I thought that Facebook was so enraged by this picture that all their hard disks melted! Maybe their warning to me about it was because they feared these consequences?
  16. I thought that it was me looking at the ladies lingerie adverts that done it!

    The thing is, with energy prices rising the way they are people will and are insulating their houses to save money! It's just a bunch of nobody's looking for their 15 minutes of fame!
  18. Bargain!!! https://www.leboncoin.fr/motos/2049039634.htm
  19. May have to install a seat belt onto the bog!
  20. Famous last words, mate.
