    I’ll hold you to that!  8)

    Where the one this Wednesday…03/08?

    The next Bikers Nites are:

    10.08.16  PHEASANT INN    Toddington (Roundabout), Cheltenham GL54 5DT
    (Please don’t park along the road at the above pub unless the car par is full as this may attract the police.)
    17.08.16  VILLAGE INN        Twyning Green, Twyning, Tewkesbury    GL20 6DF
    24.08.16  THE FLEECE          Bretforton, near Badsey, Evesham      WR11 7JE
    31.08.16  MYSTERY PUB!  To be announced a few weeks before, at the meets/fb/website

    So for all you Midlanders – The Fleece is one of our more northerly pubs and I’ve checked the forecast: Weds 24th August is going to be dry and sunny…..      8)

    Good review, Radar  :)

    Definitely a great deal – 160bhp for £10K is outstanding.

    Sounds like the Tracer on steroids….    8)

    Good way of putting it. Logically this is the bike I should ride rather than the MV

    But can you compare Yamaha with MV?
    The GS1200 beats the Explorer in every review I’ve ever read, but I still prefer the big Triumph. Logic loses out to bias every time!      8)

    Get a new Motad 4-into-1: £250….    8)

    Where did you see that price? That is a fair bit less than Wemoto

    Just went on that there t’internet and googled ‘ZR550 aftermarket exhaust’….  ;)      8)

    Good report, Radar: caught the atmosphere well…. Congratulations on making it down south for a Bikernite at last.

    If that Suzi had been the DR350 I would have been even more interested!

    Strangely, I think those DR650s are used on that Ecuador route that I keep harping on about. Though not with such a fancy paint job…  8)

    You going to the one on the 27th July?

    Yes – and the one this Wednesday: at the Waterpark – great location….    8)

    Will you make it on the 27th?    :o    ;D

    Provided the weather holds absolutely

    I’ll be there on my miracle ‘keeps-me-dry’ Tiger whatever the weather….  8)

    Bung an advert for the TDM on here, I will spread the word too. How much do you want for it?

    Will do – just renovating the pannier frames before the photoshoot…. When sparkling I’ll take a look at the opposition and choose a price….    :'(

    Nice new steed :) I’m looking forward to seeing it in the flesh too and those panniers really are superb! When not in use I take my frames off

    I keep my frames on – as rear crash bars. Obviously that’s just ‘cos I’m lazy – I’ll have a look at removing them soon….    8)
