Going from a Honda to a Rieju is like going from Ice Cream to Horse Shit......so no!

Racist

Have a great day you fucking old fossil.

I got my blood test results back today and went through them with my doctor. All good apart from my cholesterol is high so I’m going onto some low dosage tablets for a couple of months to help get it down and at the same time make some changes to the diet and up the exercise.

I don’t eat badly and I’m active but a bit of improvement in those areas won’t hurt.

Apart from that no dramas!

So......are you considering one Ray?

I’ll go and have a look at one and also the new Himalayan. Might even get a test ride but in terms of purchasing it’ll have to be next year.

I think they're making engines for KTM now aren't they?

Yes mate, for some time now.

Initial press reviews of the CFMoto 450 MT seem largely favourable. Plenty of useful bits and bobs included that many manufacturers make as optional extras and all for €5,999 (plus €250 matriculation costs).

Could be the unicorn adventure travel bike if it proves reliable over time and parts back up is decent.

Being sold here through some smaller dealers but also through Jade Motor which are mainstream Kawasaki, KTM, Husqvarna and Gas Gas dealers.

Not like that where I live thankfully.    

That’s positive then

I was looking at those on Amazon, £37 a pair.   I like the idea of bar ends but they make getting the bike through the back gate awkward.   Mind you I can always widen the gate to suit.   

Ah yes the old back gate problem. Mind you, it also makes it more difficult for some scumbag to get it out!

Overpriced and easy to nick as they just sit on ram ball mounts. 

If you want adjustable folding mirrors then buy Vicma folding mirrors.  They are the originals and don't vibrate like the cheap chinese copies.

Spot on those Bob, had a couple of sets for years and they still work as well as they did when they were new. Mind you, I think they’re much better on a dirt bike rather than a naked road bike.

I bought some bar end mirrors off Amazon and they work well but I can’t remember what make at the moment.

I can hear the pride in @XTreme’s voice as he describes the depravity of this place.

Good advice......if I was still in my teens or 20's Ray!

Wheelies outside girls' schools would see me put on the Sex Offenders Register now!

At least that would be more interesting than going to Albox for tea bags.

Not really.......just undecided on which way to go.

I think you need to widen your criteria. Forget all this adventure bike stuff and get something daft as fuck, fast as fuck and something that says you don’t give a………you get the idea Pete.

Get a naked bike.

Yes Marcel!

@Skippy lives near the coast......it's very different to where I am!

Very different indeed………rarely cold during winter, sweltering hot during July and August and far less abandoned stuff.………and no @XTreme

We should annex France.

If it wasn’t for France the UK would be on the Mediterranean

I’ve never seen anything like it! I think it would be a great stag do night out

The right thing to do Pete.

It’s a sad time for mods, @Marcel le Moose Fondler has proved them powerless against the power of the viking descendant!

Please don’t encourage him

Are you out @Skippy?

Not this weekend mate

No he's in..... but in where?

Tell you where I am mate, I’m ‘in’ no fucking doubt that we need a separate thread for Marcel and Zaak

That’s a proper nice bit of kit

Jacks never get invites!

I didn't even get an invite to the going away party that @Renegade put on in Cardiff!

But I won't be losing any sleep over not spending time with Cockneys or Bluebirds!

Bit bitchy

No Invite for Pete then

He couldn’t hack it, anyway, he’s not allowed to go out overnight on his own.
