Was it an enthralling conversation in the car ?

So am I right in thinking that @Slowlycatchymonkey is riding her bike around Scotland/UK ? and yet we haven't seen a single photo have we ? Fuckmine, this is worse that one of @Six30 excursions, at least he gets the bike out of the van and takes a photo Come on @Slowlycatchymonkey what are you doing ??

Horsefly looks a whole lot better than its name Sorry to hear about your Mum, at least she’s close to you now

I'm not going to take it off-road if I can help it. The front cylinder would be vulnerable even on a gravel road, I know you can get guards but I don't really want to do that at this point. Yes, I would take it on a long trip but it would probably be all tarmac.

About 170 miles round trip @Pedro . Love it so far, the engine is pretty smooth for an old V-Twin, not really vibey at all. Decent brakes but not shit hot, fairly comfortable riding posiiton and seat but the best bit is the handling

They were very well behaved but yes I've heard them when they give the big ee-haw, it does make a racket

I had a free pass today and the weather was looking ok so a chance to get out on the Sled for a decent ride. I wasn't really feeling fit enough to go yomping up hills to look at the reamains of castle's or towers but while perusing a map online last night I noticed a Donkey Sanctuary in Devon. So, off we got at 08.00 am and down through Cheddar Gorge before the hordes decsend........... Arty farty shot of my new lid, and no @Buckster it doesn't signify wanker, the 'W' is for Wobert Down across the levels in glorious sunshine and a quick stop for a coffee by the river Isle near Muchelney Abbey............. Now there was a lot of guessing on todays route as I haven't set up a GPS on the Sled yet so it was more a case of 'follow your nose'. Anyway I found the sanctuary and big bonus it was free to get in............ Donkey's were smoothed and gawped at for the next hour before it got to hot to stay outside in heavy biking gear................ So I went inside to their excellent resturant and had a Caeser salad and possibly the best chocolate milkshake I've ever tasted. I started the journey back home but around the Baltonsborough triangle I realised why I love a good GPS as I managed to spend 45 minutes going around in a big circle. I realised this when I passed the same parked car twice as it had a big 'for sale £2200' sign on it which made me think 'in your fucking dreams' Anyway, normal service was resumed when I found my way back to the A37 and one last coffee stop at one of my favourite trails............... #

We need to see more of you on here Sofia. All these blokes are getting a bit too friendly with each other. We need more female input or it’s just gay this and gay that

Are they going to fund you a new pair of Jeans

Are those the O/E fitment for your bike Marcel ? Mitas make great enduro/trail tyres

Bollocks

They're not too bad actually

I wondered who bought my pile of crap

@Slowlycatchymonkey It looks the biz, I hope it works just as well

I owned a Bantam, it never actually worked

Is it from a European Manufacturer ?

I'm voting Beta, haven't seen that out for a while

I still have a set of E07’s on my spare wheels for the donkey You can’t wear them out

Not sure about the E07+ Dakar but the E09 Dakar's are notoriously a bastard to fit and worse to remove. I've had to saw one off a mates bike before now

On tyre noise, if it isn't making a noise it's a fucking gay tyre

Pirelli STR ? They are the O/E tyre on the Tenere 700 and the Desert Sled. My Tenere had 8,000 miles on it when I sold it and there was still some life, the Sled has 5,200 miles and will probably need replacing in 1,000 miles. They are a great road tyre , decent grip and will do a job on gravel.

Nice pics @XTreme, now do yourself a favour and by yourself a new jacket to go with your new bike ya feckin tightarse
