Re: Van - a big accessory!

I've had a T5 Kombi for a year now....love it. Wish I'd have bought one sooner. Two bikes in the back easy with a bit of seat jigging. Perfect. I did consider a new Transit or Renault.....much cheaper to buy, but after 5 years, depreciation was horrendous. The VW will have lost very little. image_20...

I met Bill Sparks a few years back. Top bloke. A proper Bootneck. He told proper old school war stories....brilliant.

I agree, but the bloke is about as useful as a bacon slicer in a synagogue. It's all we've got too watch, so I watch it.

Re: French Alps

Ian, not sure about the snow, but I have the "Route De Grande Alps" on a .GPX file if you want it.
It's a superb route from near Lake Geneva down to Menton.
Well worth doing.

Recommend me some Kevlar jeans...

Apart from the "Draggin" brand, are there any others out there that are any good?

Thanks

Re: Honda XR650 with lots of special bits.

Nice, but I'm going to blow my own trumpet here, and say I prefer mine. XR650L. With Kickstart, plus loads of other mods.

Lockable helmet bag??

I've just bought an open face lid.
Hence no chin bar to put a chain through.
Anyone know of a secure helmet bag so I can leave the lid on the bike?

Re: Recommend me a compact tent

I have an MSR Hubba Hubba coming up for grabs this week when my new tent arrives. Ultra lightweight, single pole, in great condition. I'm looking for £120 https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=hubba+hubba+nx&tag=googhydr-21&index=aps&hvadid=38741164346&hvpos=1t1&hvexid...
