Re: Sons new bike

I followed an Aprillia RS125 down the A5 a few years ago doing in excess of 100mph. It even had L plates.

My Suzuki DR125 struggled to do 60.

Re: not good start..

Didn't he have a bad accident a few years ago? A tragedy, as always, but this is not something you can do year after year - it's so dangerous that eventually a serious accident is inevitable. These guys have the admiration of all of us and they know the risks. Still, it's heart breaking when it happ...

Re: Weekend ride 14-16th June 2013

I'm available that weekend if an upcoming house move is all done by then. How about the Peak District?

That route is way too short but could be expanded a lot.

Re: In earphones/reply

You can oay a bit more and have small speakers inserted in the plug, the lead has a standard jack on the end to plug into your iPod, etc. the plugs also keep wind etc out but let the sound in. See web. Ultimate Ear. Tim I love my UE TripleFi 10's wh...

Re: Luggage options.

Thanks grumpyfrog - the Bivi bag looks good as it can be half filled and rolled up tight and attached to other luggage :thumbup: The 45L bag looks pretty big Al, might be the way to go. Not cheap but I can get a Ventura rack for the VTR and Griso and get one Ventura bag to use on both plus something...

Re: Luggage options.

I don't want panniers. I don't carry a passenger.

The bergen looks like a good cheap option that I could strap to the rear without a rack.

Something like this?

Luggage options.

I really enjoyed the Yorkshire Op Storm and would like to do more of them. Luckily there was spare tent space so I didn't have to carry a tent but even so I didn't even manage to get the bare minimum in my rucksack (no bottle of Scotch :x) Plus, even though it's a good one it's a bit uncomfortable w...

Re: Op Storm III: Yorkshire Dales 24-26 May 2013

Good to meet everyone over the weekend. Should have done an Op Storm ages ago if that's what I've been missing. It did get a bit chilly at night but I was fine in my 4 seasons sleeping bag with hood - just my nose sticking out! A big :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: to flatline and everyone else who he...
