You did a lot of one handed riding, but your “spare” hand wasn’t on your GPS…

What route? There is no route! You’re just a poor simple bloke

One handed riding… One hand on the bars and the other hand on his bar! Poor simple guy can’t even get a route!? Man… How depressing :silly:

But I do find it refreshing that TB is human after all and can actually fall of his bike :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Are you on drugs? Speed had EVERYTHING to do with it. If you were stationary and fell off it would NOT have been anywhere near as spectacular as it was.

Ok let me explain, I didn’t fall cause I was going to fast I fell because I tried to do something DUMB :silly: :pinch: :laugh: Honestly was it ever going to work now I look back given the slipping and sliding we had done before that and especially afterwards :blink: hindsight is 20/20 vision I should say what was I thinking but clearly I wasn’t at the time :laugh: :laugh: maybe it was the medication

Yeah I crashed Steve :laugh:

Great Report JTB, very entertaining.

A rare site of the big guys bike laying down. Not because he doesn’t drop it but because he is usually so quick to pick it up again you don’t normally get a chance to get the camera out.

Toes,

I’ve NEVER ridden a V, but I’ll go so far as to say you are mad to give it a go on anything but the XR.

Either will be fine, think think you would be more relaxed at the end on the strom (rest of the ride would be fun but :laugh: )

Dont listen to JTB he tells lies about pine cones :laugh:

Toes on a Strom is better than most on an XR.

Great report and photos JTB

Sounds like you had a good day out with some bloke called VD VB or was it with TB

As you say there is a lot of work goes in to pre running, trying new things and putting it all together.

Plus behind the seen there are endless hours on the laptop trying to join everything up and hoping it works.

It is a good day out just exploring the country side and just winging it and coming up with some awesome tracks.

Well done to you both for yesterday.

Cheers

Thanks your Highness!

It’s interesting to see where other people ride when riding in “my” ride area… rode some old stuff and some new stuff. I’m a bit sore today though… :whistle:

Thankyou for the effort in posting that, though after viewing it the time is going to seem to go slower :pinch:

Ask VD, I only do part of day 1 and go home tired and sore as buggery… seeing as the route “may” have a chair to have a rest on I might actually finish day 1 this time :ohmy: as for day 2? :pinch:

Sounds like a plan Kram man.
Only problem is.We both own transit vans.
And both of the pieces of shit don’t go further than seaview.
Would be an adventure just getting there.
Maybe we should ride down.what your call Kram.
Think me big bus will,would ,possibly,mabey make it.
