Go Big and Ride Small

Thats fantastic news Chris, well done you!!

I think you could do some advertising for them, they sent you off to far flung corners and you do a jigg with a rucksack!

Yahoooooo )))

Thanks both!

Yeh, I have already been thinking about how I can adapt some of the tents to create motorcycle specific versions…

My fleet of work money bikes 1 Honda and 2 Skyteams they are all 125s the Skyteams having Honda copies, Ive got 2 Skyteams because a lot of the time one or the other is off the road awaiting spares and fixing, the red and silver one, which has had a replacement engine, has a similar top speed to the Honda the yellow one is a little slower but keeps up with trucks on motorways and dual carriageways if you slip stream, the Skyteams have folding handle bars and fit into the boot of most hatchback Fiestas Picantos and the like. Over the years they have saved me £1000s on manpower and taxi fares, being 6 foot 2 inches I do cause a fair amount of hilarity and often get photoed by passing cars and vans.

Love the monkey! And I think we are all very much looking forward to seeing a picture of you on it!

That's the first one we bought new in 2014, its covered about 20,000 kms its on its second engine as the gearbox packed up on the first, the yellow sky team has done about half that and the Honda which is a couple of years old has done about 2500 miles its not as useful as it only goes into vans being much bigger and not having folding handlebars, all the mileage has been covered by me as no-one else is daft enough to ride them.

240 mile round trip to Goodwood festival and back on Friday riding the BWS 125. No motorways
£14 in fuel fill ups, numb bum, and thorough soaking from Marlow to home but the bike performed flawless. Cruised at 55 and was a hoot traffic splitting the 3 mile queue of cars trying to leave the venue. I bet those supercars used mor fuel in the traffic jam than I did for the whole trip

Decided to sell my C90, really not using it much anymore, see separate listing

I was working with older pictures.
These are photos of a hard core biker's touring machine.
An old man with long beard.
The photos are 4 years old.
And I am sorry for the bad quality.

But I am so impressed by this man and his machine.
And I want to share something that are very far from GS 1250 adventure with half of the Touratech catalog added.

Huge respect for this man

Took a quick, overnight camping trip down to Lymington just to test a tent out. Very dry out there and open fires had been banned.
Nice to get out in the tent again though busy with a lot of children and the classic phrases were:
‘You are embarrassing me in front of our family’
‘Stop running in front of the cars’
‘Did you just fart in the shower?’
Brilliant
One thing I did notice is how, when you are camping, it’s the same amount of stuff for one night as 3 weeks almost.

Not really small...but I had a loan bike the other day whilst my Suzuki GSX-S1000F was being serviced and they lent me a '21 plate Suzuki SV650...what a cracking bike, I was very surprised how much I liked it. The specs say it was 195kg but it felt lighter. Not outright fast by any means but also fast enough, if that makes sense, and very comfortable. I was impressed with it .
