XTreme

We tend to get used to the IOM carnage every year.....but this has to be one of the saddest ones ever! Father and son killed!

Gloves for rain?

The fucking Trolls are out today I see! You'll be laughing the other side of your faces when I'm out Styling and Profiling with Charley Boorman!

I was going along the farm roads (very uneven surfaces with potholes) on it and normally you feel every bump.....I felt nothing. And I thought I was taking it quite steady getting used to the bike but when I looked at the clock I was doing 140kph. There's no way I could have done that on the Strom or the 650 without getting bounced all over the place. And on an XT my few remaining teeth would have fallen out.

Strange thing is, I really like that bike. I know I've only ridden it three times and about 300kms but it was superb. Like a much more sophisticated and much lighter Big Bird. You just don't get that same feeling on a Strom etc........you know what I'm talking about.

I've had 3 Stroms......I don't really want another one.

Not doing any riding never bothered you before?

Imagine looking out your window and seeing @yen_powell's pants in your garden!

10 grand on a tuneup?

Absolutely! But I ain't picking up the tab for it......so I'm not losing any sleep.

I gotta get it back first!

I'm a Bikeless Billy!

What is it?

Were you still wearing them Clive?

I told you! And if you hang stuff right there's no ironing needed!

Yes.....Autumn would be the preferred time!

Laying in the truck driver's piss on the M20?

I think my Beemer has now spent more time in vans than your bikes!

Quite possible......I haven't got the papers back yet to see any long breaks in between ITV's. By it's year and mileage it's averaged around 4K kms/2.5K miles per year.

I've got the bike that could get me over your way now......well I will, when I've had more new shit put in it! You never know!

Nice shots.......and a beautiful area as well Pedro.

And if it continues like this it means I started off with an old bike and ended up with a new one!
