Great way to spend the morning @Mawsley

I predict that you'll find the CRF300L doesn't have enough torque (you have to thrash them) and the 701 just has too much power to be useful as a trail bike

He's getting about this year

Brilliant story, there won't be any characters left like that before long.

Isn't that the bint that Prince Harry married ?

Unfortunately that's a common fault on 690's, I think Rally Raid do a modified part for it.

I fell asleep half way through all of this.........................

There is a fly in the ointment , I've just gone in the loft and realised that I sold the tank a couple of years ago On the bright side, the o/e plastics are still like new.

The underslung exhaust is hideous, the tail light is a thing of beauty.

Ive only been through Clermont Ferrand once but what a shithole, quite surprising for France .

I stayed there in 2012 , it was run by some Dutch people when we went there. We pulled into the coutryard on our bikes and as soon as we got off we were handed a beer They had a good band on as well on one evening .

Will someone please return the real @Buckster Bloody excellent Ian , well done that man

The bed isn’t big enough?? Ungrateful fat cow

Lol, you’re not wrong about the signs Were there any signs forbidding discarding soiled kecks

Nice one Rich, some nice historical stuff there. You need to teach @Six30 how it’s done

That’s not a report, it’s just some photos

So where's the ride report then @Richzx6r ..............

It can't die now after you refreshed the cylinder head.

Ignore the nutcase and concentrate on your son and grandsons. Sell her to the Arabs if she gives you too much grief.

@Specs needs to have a word

So in early May Miss USA arrives from France............ and I will still have Miss Australia................. Now the whole idea of this exercise is to cull my collection of bikes and try (very lose word in this context) to get it down to two bikes. First off I will have to ride Miss USA and just check her out but assuming all is well what do I do with Miss Australia ? I could sell her as is (adventurised) or return her to standard and sell her for less but keep all the parts (shock, forks, big tank, sumpguard etc etc) as spares. At the moment this is going around and around in my head, so what do you peeps think ? Btw, this is what Miss Australia looks like in her original clothes, the o/e parts are all in my loft............

Today I will be mainly stuffing my face with leg of lamb and watching the Paris-Roubaix race
