    A Glasgow policeman spots a huge black guy dancing on the roof of a Ford car.

    He radios for backup.

    “What’s the situation?”

    “A big fat darkie is dancing on a car roof.”

    You can’t say that over the radio,” replies the operator. “

    You have to use the politically correct terminology”

    “OK” he says:

    “Zulu….Tango….Sierra”

    Well that was certainly an interesting 300 + km! To say the least!

    Probably some of the craziest kms I have done on a bike to be honest. :ohmy:

    AS TB said, I needed to take my A game with me. He wasn’t wrong, the boys set a fairly consistant pace all day with some tom foolery thrown in for good measure.

    What a cracker day out! Then a shed party, a swim and pizzas to finish off a great day!

    I have put 12,000km on my XR650 in the last 3 years.

    That is doing all sorts of riding, because it can.

    Update.

    I loaded the old girl on the trailer and took her out to a mates place for a shake down ride.
    The Scrapper NX is a goer! It goes better than it looks and with the after market rear shock, it actually has rear suspension that provides actual dampening!

    Although I think it might have a clutch issue, :silly: I was having trouble with taking off smoothly and it kept lofting its front wheel! :whistle: :whistle: Must be adjustment I think? ;)

    Going on your past performances Ollie, if said mid pack rider is also celebrating a birthday, that opens them up to even more roosting than is generally accepted as reasonable? :laugh:

    I was shagging this sheila over her kitchen table when we heard the front door open. She said, “It’s my husband! Quick, try the back door!” thinking back, I really should have legged it there and then but you don’t get offers like that every day.

    Good report Mick, there certainly is some nice country up that way and what better way to explore it than on a ADV bike!

    As for the Finileak, if you actually read the instructions, two things stand out.

    1) do not exceed 60kmh
    2) not suitable for Motorcycles. :laugh:

    Chris, You are one Lucky boy!

    Thanks for sharing, it may motivate a few of us to kerb the excesses a little and see a doctor more often.

    Cheers

    Here is Trapeze, definately not a good place to have a camera mounted on top of your helmet.

    Oops, I will try that again later, I accidentally uploaded the full 11 minute version which will bore you to tears.

    It took you 11 minutes to get through Trapeze? Man you need to get yourself an XR650. :laugh: :whistle:

    Well done Leo, a steep learning curve for sure but no doubt a great feeling of satisfaction on a job well done!

    This would have to be one of the coolest bit of trails I have ever ridden.

    Well done with the pics Murph!
