It really was a cracking day, got a bit tomato faced in the sun!
Thanks for a fab Birthday presey Duncan and the boys – getting a half century up is having some great rewards!
Nice write up too Radar, as ever
Loved it allThumperParticipantI thoroughly enjoyed it chaps
Really fancied a go on the MZ500!ThumperParticipantI could nearly stand watching this video, wincing all the way through.
The answer to your question is пизда pizda
ThumperParticipantReminds me of when I used to use the Smart car to go to work..
ThumperParticipantGlad it all turned out well, and pleased that you guys are getting out and about.
Got any piccy’s?April 21, 2014 at 6:59 pm in reply to: Hog, Duke and Beemer…Leicestershire ride out – Bikes and Planes!! Pics #67653ThumperParticipantA nice ride despite the dodgy company
A good place if you like aircraft though
You can have a drink or bite to eat while the take off and landings take place
I have had a few helicopter lesson s here, and Liecester Herlecenter is a great place to learn
Can’t wait for the HD to be run in!ThumperParticipantMrs Thumper had a great time too, as did I
Scenery was lovely, and the bikes really went well, -when they had petroleum that is!
I burnt a few calories pushing the GS to the shell garage in Wolverhampton!
24miles or the equivalent of 1/2 gallon showing on range computer….tut tut
I still should not have trusted it though with its previous bad form, and 175 miles 2 up under our belt – just really annoying. I guess Moscow wasn’t too far for the Germans either!So good to see our family friends also, and a great reason for all of you guys to get on her bike a visit someone you haven’t seen for a while!
ThumperParticipantReally enjoyed the ride, social and your right up Radar
Roll on the summer warmthThumperParticipantI didn’t ride the Yam, but it felt like a nice riding position to me sitting on it, although the forks seemed on the soft side??- must ride it to be fair on that.
A couple of observations,
-the £100 fly screen is a bit steep as an option needed to cover up the messey area around the instrument pack
-the back lamp looks a bit of an ‘add on’
-the pipe really is too quiet – seems such a shame as the motor is sweet- easily remedied
Otherwise the bike looks good
Certainly gets me wanting to try one
……or twoThumperParticipantThat was supa Champs.
I enjoyed it enough to stream it through the TV for added effect
Makes me want to get the bike out straight away……July 15, 2013 at 11:37 pm in reply to: The Pyrenees Run Part 4. Scarey dummies and Disney Castles #66468ThumperParticipantChilling out at the cafe was really pleasant, the french mechanic turned out to be a real hero – spot on!
Aston Villa……yep enough for even the Germans to laugh at.
Thumper has a Sat Nav that chooses grassy lanes for fun (no really – not my choice this time!)
Radar wins the Blue Sparkley Dress for Diva of the Day before we got him some choccy!

I have a lot of respect for the guys doing the camera work now on those fast twisty bits.
Ses & Radar being sized up for being overtaken by a cyclist!

July 15, 2013 at 8:05 pm in reply to: The Pyrenees Run – Part 2 – Helicopters and the Holy Mother of God. PICS ADDED! #66448ThumperParticipantI was really surprised at the wonderful atmosphere of Lourdes at a devout atheist – very nice.
Happy days, thanks lads, and once again to Radar for the write-up.

Your write-ups are actually a lovely memento.
