Adventure Bike Rider Forum

Phill,I'm afraid I haven't made the A team. So will not be doing the actual HISS thing,but as I'll be riding south from London. I'd like to ask if I might meet up at your place to meet your good self and some of the others over that weekend ? I'll then press over the Pyrenees to Barbastro.

Hi soho..

you taking the chair along with you or going solo? you had then running at the Ace on Sunday.

Hi all,
apologies for disappearing act but i have had to go out and buy a new computer as my laptop as fried (oops, dodgy sites me thinks)

Anyway just sold my Ducati and now looking to buy a bike for the trip, not sure what would be good though, any ideas please let me know, I have been looking at XT660, Honda 700 Transalp, Suzuki 650 Vstrom and Triumph 955 tiger, All 3/4 years old.

can't wait for trip speak soon

Hi Gilly..

well all different bikes for different uses..the new honda ta700 are well crap ..good engine but the rest is rust waiting to happen and no good on the trails..

The tiger is top heavy for trails but great for touring and a brill engine..

V-strom are under rated but no good for trails due to mag wheels and small front wheel much like the tiger..

Borrow Ronsters xt660 they are good all round bikes at a good price but try the R version as well ...

The bmw x challenge is great too..but not for touring..unless seat is modified...

you have a single 2x twins and a tripple ....just ride them and you`ll fall in love with one.

Hey mate ! Saw the hat and 'tash Sunday but didn't get to talk with you.I kept bumping into people I hadn't seen in years. See you no doubt in the Chilterns ! :cheer:
Plan is to ride the AT outfit at the moment. I'd really love to be properly riding solo's again ! My Dommie is now solo'ed and all ready to go,but I'm still riding sheepishly like a novice. Let's see how things improve ?

Hi Sohoeasy, what are your travel plans? I could do with some company through France. I will be departing London on the Saturday morning. Let us know. Cheers Tommy

Tommy, I've finally made a decision... I'll be in Northern France for the week before the rally so I could meet up with you and travel south.

Doctor says I should be OK provided I don't have anymore back outs in the mean time.. and he's prepared to give a few days release from the ward without supervision ...plus I should have my license back by then.

Cool, offer still there though sohoeasy if you want some company.

Steve, I will arrive in either Caen/St Malo/Cherbourg on the Saturday morning. I will let you know once I have booked the ferry. Cheers mate.

just sent you an email... unfortunately due to financial issues, i won't be able to come along to this very hard decision to make, and still not completely made, but just don't think things will allow it..
