Skippy

Nor me

I must have the only compass that works! It’s still shite but it definitely works! ??

Pete, sounds to me that the CRF is the way to go for your biking needs. A mate of mine has one here and another mate has one in the UK. They are as capable as you’ll need off road and the bloke in the UK did a weeks road trip with a collection of 600cc dirt bikes and wasn’t embarrassed. Great bikes. You could always push the boat out and go for the Rally version?

Brit ghetto? Bloody cheek, there’s more Spanish here than anything. How dare they! ??

Better get a hurry up then, don’t think I’ve taken any this month!

I had one and loved it. Solid bike and capable as a distance tool or thrashing around the Derbyshire trails.

Damn had too much fun to take photos ?

Well it’s stopped raining here and the sun is out but haven’t got enough time to get out today so tomorrow it is then! No specific plans but having just cleaned the Himalayan after it’s last foray into the dusty countryside I think it deserves a relatively clean ride around the local twisty roads. I’ll meet up with the rest of the old farts and see where the mood takes us!

Yes mate, I saw one locally a couple of years ago on UK plates, a 58 reg so the same as my old one but with 50,000miles on I think and they still wanted £3,800. I ain’t paying that.

Shame as I loved my old Tenere, shown here at the top of Mount Jafferau.

I can’t even see any movement, perhaps I’m so used to my Himalayan shaking around ??. If you’re really worried mate take some fucking man-up pills. Worked wonders for me. ??

Funnily enough...........no.

Left shoulder is proper fucked. Apart from that I’ve got the body of a 20 year old. I keep her in the attic and she doesn’t seem to mind. ?

I truly feel your pain mate as I’ve dislocated my left shoulder five times over the past 40 years. ‘Kin hurts don’t it?

Result for the Himalayans! Well done @Grasshoppers Ride ??

Ha ha my memory ain't that good ?

Now then Pete......... ???

Yes mate, I know some people have made their own switches and they seem to work just fine.

Switchable abs yes please, I wonder if it will be available as an upgrade for the earlier bikes?

I voted for Grasshopper's Himalayan as those of us afflicted by the RE disease need to stick together. ??

Tyre envy..........???????

Just so I'm not left out and to increase the chances of a Himalayan winning I've included the only photo I've taken in August that meets the criteria. Clearly, there are loads of others where I'm jumping the bike over large obstacles or wheelying it one-handed but I can't include those. ??

Yes that's true, there's nothing I'd like better than an in depth conversation with Mr Cunty. ?

No mate..........only the voices in my head ??

Yes mate, still considering all options. As for the neighbours.......don’t tempt me ?
