The 2020 Dragon Rally was something to remember, 85mph winds, torrential rain, tents flying over hedges and then there was the ride back home where my mate's Africa Twin which weighs about 240kg with camping gear got blown clean over by the force of the wind. Not my video but if you move to 6.00mins onwards you can get some idea what it was like......

Very cool Tym, the KLR looks ace against the dark backgrounds

We like a challange, anyone can take the easy route.

How are you getting on leading these TRF runs Fred, I only ask as normally you don't really like riding in groups ?
-
One of my favourite river crossings, I've had to fish a KTM 990 out of there and that was after we showed him the line to take. He thought we were taking the piss, so he went his own way and guess what happened
-
I've given him a lot of stick over that car, take a look at the way he rivveted the wheel arch extensions on, bloody bodger . Anyaway, what do I know , he sold for over £18,000 .

I didn't take it as so , no problem here.

I think that's some of Pete's handywork there (the flying leg )

Some for you here Pete, my old BMW650GS Dakar. When i got it it was about 10 months old and covered in Touratech farkles , I catalogued them and it was over £1000 worth. I took most of it off and sold it. As standard it looked like this......... I junked the tyres for some knobblies and sourced a complete set of bodywork (bit by bit) and then sprayed it in Ford Atlantic blue . The o/e panels were put in the loft to keep them tidy. Here's a photo with my mates Ford Escort rally stage car........ Then I used it for the purpose intended......... I also rode it to the Pyrenees, did a two day navigational rally on trails and then rode it back home. It averaged 71mpg for the whole trip On the way home I just had to get a photo when I spotted the sign to this village, I wonder who lives there ?

Very carefully, cut a small groove into the bottom bearing with a mini angle grinder, then hit it with a cold chisel and it should break free.

Help me out here Tym, why do you need all those vents on an open faced helmet ?
-
Bloody sidestand switches , what a dumbass idea on a dirtbike.
-
What was it then, lack of power ?
-
Yeah but for a guy with one leg kick-starting a big single ain't a great idea. When I kick-started my KTM640 adventure I did a lap around the car park whooping and a wailing

Yes, it's a guy near Bridgend who builds them, he's built some ace Dommy based specials.
-
The problem with that bike is it's kick start only and by christ they're tall.

@Sir Fallsalot My old XR650L is for sale, when he says that it's only got 4k on the clock but it might have done more he's not wrong I'd give him £2,000 but no more than that. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-XR650L-2002-Rare/333804350077?hash=item4db84a2a7d:g:~1gAAOSwlQNfwNxm

I read that France have got the 'R' rate down to 0.65, that's because they do a proper lockdown. Your average person in UK hasn't got a fucking clue what's going as it changes from week to week. Boris is too weak to make a good leader, no one's taking any notice ?
