Good mate will be good to have you along aswell

But....we can ride in the wet unlike that old dago wannabe. I don't know what he would do if it rained whilst he was out on a ride, I'd guess he would freeze on the spot with fear and turn in to a gibbering wreck ?

You gna join the outing then eh six

RIP Tom

Its flooded.....obviously not been pulling your weight

Love the area around your place, looks like proper wilderness

Hi and welcome tony

The other reason not to ride it is the ninja isn't the bike for the quite a few of the roads around Pete's area

I have told her that I plan to take a trip to Spain and she said as long as I can afford it then shes ok with it, which came as a surprise. I would guess it would be much more than £400 for fuel there and back, flights I have found for 63 quid with Ryanair. I think fly hire would work out alot cheaper

I also don't think the ninja would be too enjoyable on rutted unmade roads that are frequent around his manor

That's fair enough mate, I wont be committing to anything until I know it wont end up going tits up, as said in the first post I am choosing to fly/ride rather than ride through france due to it being cheaper even though it would be more of an adventure financially it could be ruinous

Will do mate

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

These are all possible if they both have time free I wouldnt say no

@Pedro when were you planning a visit?

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

Did anything really change for you apart from the fact you were involuntarily house bound for a fair chunk of time?

My vote goes to grasshopper

Tiger 1200 would be perfect ? Flights over should be fairly cheap and I'd use more money than hire in fuel costs there and back let alone whilst there so think that is the way to go, flight hire bike

Doesn't sound too bad like, I'll check out that link see what goes

Is bike hire cheap round your neck of the woods pete? Flying could well be the way to go then just hire a bike for the duration

I bloody well hope not, if it is the whole world will go back to the dark ages

I'm not an easy one to embarrass and I can take the piss just as much as pete can so all will go well

Yeah this is my worry if it all gets lifted so we can all get back to normal then good if not then it might need to be pencilled in for 2022.....

I plan to ride down through france from Calais hoping it will take 3 days in total from Calais to make the days easy rides using camping as a preference then I plan to spend 10 days to 2 weeks mooching around then ride home It's only 1600 miles from mine ??
