Good 250 mile ride out today completing my local area.

This year is more challenging as access to the places arent always where the postcode denotes.

Roll on the warmer weather so I can load up my camping gear and get a few weekend rides in

Bloody blowy today!

Those little Suzukis with some decent tyres are very capable

before you go to mad with it, make sure the chassis and bulkhead are sound

Few of mine

What does?

Nobody going for the top gear selection

Just need some bright pink paint

Maybe if he was concentrating on riding rather than doing his bit for camera he may have anticipated it.

( sits back and awaits vloggers wrath)

On my old XT I had to pull the key slightly toward me to get it to turn. Initially I thought it was a major issue but after a few times it became second nature

At least you'll be able to ride this one when its road legal [emoji6]

Anyone else got any merlin clothing

I bought a jacket from the dealer I got the bike from

Wore it yesterday and I'm pleased with it, kept he wind rain and hail out well. has plenty of pockets and plenty of adjustment.

i'd be interested to hear anyone elses opinion

St Michael's mount has no vehicular access

Can we get away with a shot from the mainland with it in the distance??

I am selling less since I discovered the fee increases.

Still buy too much from there though [emoji38]

After selling the XT the buff from them was £10 to list it then 10% of the sale price

Classified ads are £14 all in. I think that's the better way to go

eBay sting ya on postage now too

Can somone change the Postcode for Donnington Castle please, Its RG14 instead of RG12

Made a balls up with my routing today

When writing out my list i got 2 in the wrong order which meant me having to go through maidstone town centre twice !

I'm not keen on going over the same ground so was a tad miffed with myself

Must try harder!!!!

First ride out on the kwak

About £23

My local dealer says it'll be a week delivery time from Germany

Saves me a lot of messing about

Cheers Joe [emoji106]

I've seen a few bikes sporting tool boxes made from pipes of varying sizes

Has anyone here made or got one?

I'd like to make one for one of my panniers but I'm struggling to find all the components on screw fix or plumbing sites

A mate of mine uses the sj ones on his drone, he said they are excellent value for the money.

That's a decent price too

Good find [emoji1303]

Hi all

Just wondering what your favourite places were in last years challenge.

For me it was the witchcraft museum in Cornwall

I don't tend to scope out my places, just route them the best I can so when I dropped down a steep hill into such a pretty place and realised it was boscastle I was pleasantly surprised

It also helped that it was a beautiful day.

So what was your best one???

Just read he has passed away.

Another cancer victim

RIP Terry
