Hi Adrian

Never had you down as an F800 GT rider [:D]

How is your mate Avishay? I remember he came off his bike in Scotland a few years ago.

Give me a shout next time you are up. Alan (Oldie)

Schism

Catechism

You won't see a 310GS in your showrooms anytime soon. Production is on hold (apparently due to 3td party component issues). I actually thought that I read that on here....maybe some other forum...

Normally, I don't like being insulted but I had to smile at your lovely choice of words [:D] Riff Raff describes me perfectly - my wife's family have been calling me that for years [:)]

Still dry here in the far north, but hovering around zero in the mornings. Nice dry, quiet, roads, but need to hose the salt off the bike afterwards. Using my NT650V as a winter hack.

I'd agree with that statement Gerry.

It actually looks like a new model whereas the GS310 somehow strikes me as a toy version of the real thing. The Suzuki V-Strom 250 is probably going to be...

Happened to me too - only managed to log in a couple of days ago after several attempts at re-setting my password. Got there eventually.

It's a lovely engine of course. Still the favorite of many seasoned BMW riders.

Weather in Scotland continues to be fine. Lovely October so far with daytime temps of 60 for the past couple of weeks. Our wet September was dissapointing but Mother Nature has given us a break [:D]...

Always good to see a manufacturer stepping in offering proven upgrades.

Ha ha....very good [:D]

I always buy a Haynes when I get a new bike and part of the fun is trying to identify what the photographs are meant to be. I usually check on the bike-specific forum and...

I suspect that in the case of both BMW and Triumph they have simply used Euro4 as an opportunity to create a "new breed" of motorcycles, effectively making the existing models obsolete and forcing...

Bizarre.

PM sent [:)]

I'm amazed by your stamina! That was a big first day, especially as it was all last minute stuff, then big miles to follow afterwards. I just couldn't do that (wish I could).

Enjoying your photos...

Hi Sam. I'll take the Throttlemeister please. I'll pm you. Thanks,Alan

I was fascinated by Helen (looked it up on street view). Kinda tacky, but I bet the beer is good. Even the theme park white carriages would be ok after a few beers, just!

Anyway, it makes for good...

The photograph taken at the MOT station is simply superb. It best defines the amount of effort you put into this project. Its a great looking bike [8D]

Great trip Hank.

Looks like a special part of the world.

I remember riding in my cousin's Isetta bubble car in the early sixties. Such a strange experience and great fun [:D]

Ah ha! I have a Hillman Imp/motorcycle story [:)] (sort of)

I was brought up in the early sixties a few miles from the factory and the new CEO moved into a posh house over the road from our...

I have a few old bikes but this is my only 2 stroke.

Yeah, you saved the best 'till last :cool:

I really could enjoy hanging around Big Al's place for a month or two just soaking up the atmosphere - looks perfect for a lazy summer :cool:

Great...

Nice trip!

Had to feel a bit sorry for the guy on the Rocket - don't know if I'd be happy with that monster on the road to the overlook [:0]

Loved the ending - what could be more perfect :cool:
