Me to I love a drop of port.

It’s entirely plausible given both teams form. I’m looking forward to it.

That’s interesting Bob, reset my sights to not buying a CRF250 then

I enjoyed both games, I think the scores didn’t really tell the tale of either game. Both France and Wales played reasonably just the Irish are the best at the moment and Scotland are well in form. Wales have some very good youngsters coming through, especially those two lads from Exeter. Be interesting to see how England go against Italy tomorrow.

I have had the same conversation with myself about a DT175MX and a TS185ER , I would love one of either but doubt I would ride them much. I quite fancy a CRF300, but doubt I would use that much, yes I would have a play but just haven't got the time to make the best of something like that.

Yep well remembered I had an XS 750, don't remember it being that bad, bit heavy and slow but okay and looked cool to my eyes. At the time most of my mates had Super Dreams and GSX250's so it didn't matter as my XS was way better than what they had. When the GS550's became popular I got rid of the XS, the GS550 was a much better bike in every respect as I remember.

I remember the DT250 being a bit big and cumbersome compared to the DT175. If remember correctly the DT125 and DT175 were the same bike except for engine displacement as were the DT250 and DT400. There were lots of them around here in the past. I had a DT175MX and remember it being nowhere near as tough as the ER185. DT was alot cooler looking but eh ER was a a tank.

I take the Suzuki TS185C

Choose which one you would have

I could see that. My mate who has the red CB in the pictures is shorter than me.

Bugger I should have taken some photos. The x was a green one too, my favourite colour. Showroom was full of bikes all lined up waiting for the new 23reg number.

i am not very tall mate, but quite heavy, I played rugby as a prop forward and am still that shape. I am 5'8" not sure what that is in metrickery

Very good mate, a joy to use. There was an X parked next to mine in the showroom, looked quite a bit taller to my eye.

I am loving it mate, smaller lighter and faster. Comfy at low speed and handles well when you wind it up, feels like a big 125 in size. Early days yet as I have only done 40 miles but I am well pleased.

Got my Honda today, popped into see a mate on the way home and parked next to his unridden one. He has all the farkles and all the shine but not one mile on it yet. Nice though. Very pleased with my bike though, just gotta get a few miles on it now.

Exactly why I want them, not going anywhere rough just want to keep the windblast off

Funnily enough I bought some hands guards from AliExpress as well for exactly that reason.

There is a whole section on Wish for a CB500X. Don't look

Thank you for that Caroline, I will being going back. Not sure I will get an appointment today although I have tried, but as I work for 111 I will probably be able to get an appointment with one of our GP's tonight. While not perfect it is a choice to talk to someone. I know the Colchicine makes me feel rough and I have since checked and it reacts badly with another med I am on, so now I know this I will be on it. Thank you again. Edit: Further update, Dr got back to me and I am going in at 3.30pm for an ECG, blood pressure check and to discuss my meds. Had a few more things worrying me as well as the gout so it is time to get it sorted.

That's a valuable bit of kit nowadays. Beautiful Bike.

I know mate I am in a FB group for Himalayans so will clean it up and get it on there. Hopefully get a couple of hundred back for all the bits I got.

Well de farkled the Himalayan to go back today. I can say that the Hugger was pretty ineffective at keeping the bike arse end end clean.

That's a bloody contrast. Didn't really give it a chance but each to their own, I know mine freed up alot after 1000 miles. Still slow though.

Yep, also a collection of portraits of his mistress. The worst one was of his parents naked and disemboweled. There was a dark side to him for sure. On the tour you go through 3 rooms he decorated psychedelicly in the 1960's, they are pretty trippy and to be honest I thought more vandalism than decoration.
