Why is when there's a local rideout I'm always on call? Looks like you chaps had a great day out. Hopefully I'll see you on the next one and possibly with a tad more notice
Don't suppose anyone did a GPS route for this they could let me have

Cheers

Steve

Top day out guys, great pics Paul, pays dividends having one of those big Japanese tourist cameras!Thanks Dave for guiding us through and PJ for the emergency fag papers! Let's not forget my Dad, who's nearly 70, who joined us and did the trail with us on his Honda Deauville!



As far as the route goes, it should all be logged on my Zumo so I'll work out how to put it on the site

Looks like you had a good day out, i'll have to keep my eye open if you have another trip, as long as you dont mind a novice joining? Do you do much offroad on your trips, my bikes used mainly for commuting and cant really afford to dmage it i'm afraid

 

[MG57]

Thanks PJ, have maxed out catching up on WSB, BSB aqnd MotoGP

Hey fella, you are welcome anytime.
No we dont do too much off road, we keep our resident expert on a tight leash as we all have to work the next day.
The hard stuff we do on our Drz, well thats what we think, but we're no off road gods, just out for a laugh and get the GS a bit dirty. They look good dirty--ooops sorry matron!!
Anyway, Robs dad Ewan joined us on his Deauville!! Hang on a minute----Ewan---now that name rings a bell. Off road god--enough said

We are all offroad gods, who took Dave along for a lesson
We told him that it was snowing when we last did this track

More pics:

I believe that Dave was offering his services here :

Yes, this is Rob's dad at the back on his Deauville:

Note that Rob expertly attacks a deep puddle:

Note Rob's HID's, makes getting the exposure correct, difficult ! :

How many electronic gadgets can you see in this photo ?:

It was a road ride that took in a track or two, just a good laugh not a bike wrecker, if you were an off road virgin you would of managed it, the only flaw in the plan is we are piss poor at organising it in advance, it seems a flurry of txs the night before and then a post could be improved on,i cant lie!! but hey somtimes they are the best days out. AND THAT WAS A GOOD DAY, thanks to all the boys.
