Surely not a GS... :iconmrgreen:

Huh, I thought that Tenere suited you. You throw that thing around well enough. Except for the stepladder, obvs.

I have a baggie with a set of those washers, should any buyer want them. And a spare shortened WP shock for the really short of arse :iconmrgreen: plus half a bike in spare parts... I got this one for free, sort of a rescue. The owner wanted to bring it to a wrecker because it had been sitting...

Took this out again, first time in a year or so. It nearly broke me. I always say I'll fit on whatever I want to fit on, and I do like this thing, but after 2 hours my back and wrists are killing me. Every time I get on it I have to grin, it's such a giggle. The first 7000 rpm it's a nice...

Nice. You're going to need a new sign. :iconmrgreen:

Sitting around being way too fuckin tired browsing the interwebs, waiting for the phone to ring. (I'm on call.) :-\

Pic from last week, but any ride gets better if it has a little ferry in it. ;-)

Pear's nice occasionally.

You can have any drink for free as long as it's tap water. :iconmrgreen:

Nowt wrong with a bit of Bushmills. As long as you stick to this side of the Atlantic you'll be fine. :iconmrgreen:

Oh yeah. The orange drawstring bag is kinda convenient to have though, but a posh leather one? They’ve got wool ones too. I mean, are you worried the poor dear will get cold? :iconmrgreen:

Oh I thought the duossal ones were more expensive. That's not too bad. *going off to have another look myself*

Ooh the posh one, no wonder the missus had opinions :)

Wee bimble. Still very wet out there so getting the bike dirty was nooo problem at all. Water's still pretty high, has been for months now. The ferry is going but the access road is barely dry. You can see by the grass hanging off the fences that it's been a fair bit higher. And look...

That's the trick with offroad riding though. Quite often you do need a bit of speed for the thing to straighten itself out and work correctly. But ofcourse the higher the speed, if you get it wrong, you're going to get it quite a bit more wrong. There's a balance there that's tricky. Rick...

Yeah, I've got that (bad?) habit too. I do use a ton of rear brake dragging to stabilise the thing, which is apparently a more accepted thing to do. On the Dominator at some point I made it a point to try to do all the braking, then release brakes, hit the gas, and THEN tip into the corner...

I do notice that a LOT of videos are done by and aimed at the go faster crowd, like we all have to be racers or MX types that go a million miles an hour like Chris Birch. I'm perfectly happy to do big bike trial instead. :iconmrgreen:

I suspect "trail braking" is a fancy name for a very regular thing lots of people do anyway, just like the whole song and dance about counter steering. I mean if you're doing really serious offroad/race stuff I can see that keeping a finger or two hooked around the bars with the others on the...

I can’t get used to it either, ditto clutch. Clutch especially because it won’t fully disengage with my fingers in between. Brake kinda ditto, at least there’s always the thought of them getting in the way when you need a proper handful. ;-)

My experiences with different frying pans on a Trangia vary. A very thin frying pan has a central hot spot where things get hot (or burn) while the rest is meh, and a heavy thick bottom one can be tricky to get enough heat into if it's a bit windy. And some of them just don't sit well on the...
