A small trip on small bikes

[Tonibe63]

Has your Wife passed her test Dubber?
I ask because I wanted to take 2 bikes in my van to France so we could both ride but my Wife is only on a Provisional/CBT so didn't think we could do it :S .

You can't ride in Europe on a provisional - my mrs is in the same position, just waiting for her test.

Hey, nice one, Paul! (thumbs)

Contemplated doing last Scotland trip on XT225 but chickened out and used the XF650 instead - the others having an MT500 and a 650 Vstrom is what did it. Thought for the continent you'd be more tempted with the XTZ1200? How's that going btw?

Isn't there a probationary period as well?

Just love the idea of a slow bimble taking in the scenery. The S10 is great but it has an uncanny knack of making the scenery blurry. I seem to be developing a thing for small bikes and unsuitable rides.

Quite possibly

Is this where you saw them. They attracted quite a bit of attention while we were gearing up.

No she's been past her test quite a few years and used to ride a 600 bandit but always seems happiest on the vanvan. Led threatening for her first ride abroad as well.

good idea doing a test run
i like the look of the herald bike what engine does it use (thumbs)

It uses a copy of a gn250 engine and is quite nice to ride. Engine, suspension and riding position all seem to be happy at the same speed as I like to ride her. Which is slower than my other bikes admittedly.

Bikes look good together (thumbs) still miss me lil vanvan but not quite enough to buy another

The crf has offered to take me to Wales in a couple of weeks if I buy it a new chain & rear tyre. Considering Irepand or maybe Portugal in September too. Tgere may be some pics (thumbs)
