    They’re offering a test ride – go for it Radar!

    Though still too tall at 838mm seat height…..  :(

    My 81yr old Mum is down from Edinburgh for her annual visit to the Forest that weekend – I’ll see if she wants a blast out on the Tiger…..  ???

    Merry Christmas folks…hope you have something suitably bike orientated delivered by the fat, bearded bloke in the red suit

    Huh, my twin in the red suit was a waste of space – just as well I buy my own Xmas pressies…  ::)

    I was going to wonder out today but had family visiting. Took them up to my local bikers cafe for a salad…

    Glad to see somebody out!

    Just got back from Hungary (checking out a local racetrack in county Vas) and found some parts had arrived for the Yam – need to take it out for a blast tomorrow to try ’em out, if this rain lets up.
    Otherwise it’ll be next weekend (council salters willing!)….      8)

    That Himalayan looks like an adventure bike you could actually have an adventure on…when are you riding it and where? I would love to blag a go too at some point.

    In the meantime I will look forward to your review!

    Hmmm – the dealer I had lined up in Stroud has just ditched RE to concentrate on Beemers />:(” title=”>:(” class=”bbcode_smiley” /></p><p>So I’ll have to look around and find another importer…..    Doubt if it’ll beat the GP450 but it’ll be about half the price!      <img data-lazyloaded=

    Great write-up Radar!

    Jed and I went on Thursday trying to get a couple of calendars, but ended up with a Powerbronze hugger each (and I ordered a Beowulf can for the Tiger  ;D ). No calendars though!  :(

    You didn’t mention the Royal Enfield Himalayan – their 410cc adventure bike that they’ve got Euro4 compliant and intend importing around spring-time. I’ve got a test-ride lined up…

    Good knows how I missed this when it was originally posted. Awesome pictures of what looked an epic trip. Spain is just the best biking country in my opinion….

    Agreed on both counts…..    8)

    Sounds a bit warmer!    8)

    Nice one, Radar…

    It did get rather warm, but nowhere near the 50ºC you had to contend with in Spain!

    Contend? 50oC is a perfect temperature for biking!    8)

    Muppets!

    Just in case, I like to ride with no camera, no GPS tracker, no nosey Smart-phone apps; etc.: so no self-inflicted evidence.

    And no pillion intercom, too  ;D
