You crack on, Warlord....ignore the snipers, there’s more who enjoy your input than the negative posts from the usual cocks. :beerjug:

Thanks mate, I do wonder sometimes why I bother... it's a real shame, as I enjoy reading other peoples threads. I get a lot out of it.

Doesn't matter how much they post about stuff, it's what makes a forum work.
 
I think you're bonkers spending £20k on a bike that is still not fit for purpose......but fuck em all, this is your way of doing it and you're nearly singlehandedly keeping Rugged Roads in business.
Hats off to you. :beerjug:

Haha.... any £20000 superbike "isn't fit for purpose" when people buy them for road use.

So it all depends on what you mean by "fit for purpose"

I spend money on my bike so it makes me feel enjoyment when I ride it or solves an annoying problem.

In my mind, this bike is PERFECTLY fit for purpose, because my version of "Fit for Purpose" means I can ride 300 miles in a day and do a lot of it off-road, on suitable trails and be out with my mates having a load of fun, on their own versions of "fit for purpose" machines. Then ride 5 hours home and actually be able to overtake cars safely.

If Corky can ride his RallyRaid Africa Twin 3000 miles and do a feckin 7 Day Rally Stage, win his class, then ride it home.... I don't think anybody can try and tell me the bike is not fit for purpose haha :D :D :D ...

See my point? :D :D

Ignore the haters Warlord :thumb

I quite enjoy the farkles threads.
 
I disagree :D

If I'd started one thread, and kept adding to it over the 2.5 years I've owned this bike, all the content would be mixed in with trolls, piss-takers, genuine comments, bollocks and shite, thread hijacks and such like....

What that result gives is a Search Engine nightmare on one thread with 3000 pages to trawl through (if the original thread actually lasted that long before being deleted).

Setting up individual threads gives each topic a chance to be searched on, content specific and suitable for people wanting to read about that one thing or subject.

My bolt on farkles are obviously not of interest to most people on here, but there will always be those that are actually interested or get introduced to this site through Google searches when seeking information, that's how I find out about stuff..

Bombing it all into one thread would be a mess.

I've never understood why people moan about talking about motorcycles on a motorcycle forum? I just don't get it..... :blast

You're right, I'm sure in years to come you've provided some valuable technical information for anyone else who's cashed their pension in :D
 
Piss taking aside.....I may do a day or 2 meet in North Wales for a big bike ride when the ground dries up in spring if you fancy it.
 
Ok will get a few of us together for a dry spell in spring. I'll let you know when.
 
Just wondering do any of the pisstakers within this thread take their fully laden GSA land barges off-road like you do with the AT?...

Thanks for the picture Tim. I don't normally see the front on view of you crossing a river as you're normally on the other side with your camera out waiting to take a picture of me falling in :D

I'd be up for a big bike ride out in Wales, assuming a 690 counts? If not I'll have risk it on the 1090 :eek:

Everybody's "Gangsta" until they have to do a River Crossing, or go down or up a steep hill :D

Don't know about the piss-takers in this thread, but on my last big bike ride, there was quite a few "big bikes" come out to play :thumb

Of course you'd be welcome it was intended for twin cylinder bikes but I'm sure we can think of a suitable handicap :)
