Up for a ride out, is the ZX9R on the road?
Yes, have been out of the country for 3 weeks though, so not able to use it
Looking forward to a blast asap.I’ve penciled in the 27/28th as a ‘bike related weekend’ on the household calendar. If more gets confirmed then it gets written in pen which is (obviously) legally binding!
Adventure Overland Show being held at the Stratford Upon Avon race ground that weekend: I’ll be turning up on the TDM with Debs as ballast on the Sunday. Saturday is checking out Manchester Uni with the boy….
Worth seeing what touring equipment we can justify for a short visit to Brittany next year. I suppose 12V hairdrier & collapsible portapotti are on the cards…..
Lovely ride out, country roads only to Stratford via Malvern & Pershore.
Being us, we rolled up at 1.30pm to find that it closes at 4pm: we charged around and chatted to Graham Field (2x 15,000mile trips on a P reg KLR650) and a guy (Townie vs the World) about to set off on a 2-year RTW trip on an ancient CB500.
Then we murdered a Buffalo Burger each and sampled Severn Cider’s wares (brewed in Awre, in the Forest), discussed 4×4 exploring in Peru (2016!) and solar powered charging.
We’re really tempted to camp there next time: lots of good folk to chat to, with some interesting products. CCM were conspicuous by their absence (I did want to try out a GP450) but could have left early…
Graham Field with his hero….
KLR650
Old but tough…
All sorts of stuff going on
Refreshments…..
Top dollar stuff represented too…
but check out this CB500… Great panniers
Yes, that is a cutlery tray headlight grill
And what a great integral table! He even had a shower rigged up (albeit with a pretty small head – like a kind of windscreen-washer jet).
This was really RTW on the cheap!
Well i needed to oil my chain so I did a bit of green-laning (well, green-fielding)….
RTW here I come!Well worth the visit if you’re a travel-freak like me and Debs…..
Some great pics there, worth a thread on their own!
Likes like it could be a good second outing for my £15 tent next year!
My bike tent was somewhat more expensive when new, but is over 25 years old now…. took it around France on the XJ900 in 1990
Yep, great pics. Loving those homemade paniers and still trying to work out if they dug a real hole for the Landy.
