Greek islands and an old XT600
- Thread starter Northern jock
- Start date
Never felt more chilled reading a Ride Report. Thanks for doing it Northern jock
I can recommend it. How do you get the other half of persuasion?
And I’ve managed to find a spot to rehydrate and enjoy the view.
Would be fun in the Troodos mountains. Driven a lot round there but not on a bike.
Currently looking at used Dominators for sale, so that’s a start
My friend also has a Tenere 700 in UK and we did, whilst in the Highlands, chat about riding them to Cyprus (a week to get there and another to get back and a week to 10 days at his place) and a 3-4 week excursion would be fab
DRZ400’s?
Ignore that question, just seen DRZ in your comment
I’ve been along the town beach
Simple and uncomplicated, helps to reset.
Yep - S or E’s
I think the bike in the middle is possibly a 690 KTM

You'll go a long way before you find a more relaxed and easy going fella than Alastair @Tinytim He's just an easy going kind of guy who enjoys a good bite of grub and a decent wee dram, like most of us here.
You already have the perfect bike for this type of trip..XR400.
Do as per Alastair, have the bike trucked out, spend the maximum time out there doing the thing that makes you happy ( probably not the open air chaps part ), and miss out the schlep there and back
Good idea MikeYou already have the perfect bike for this type of trip..XR400.

XR400 is pretty good if geared correctly for the roads
We just toyed with riding out Teneres across Europe
Is it just me that thinks this is a pastry depiction of a bad day?
It’s just you 
Yesterday I rode along a variety of mad wee roads, including the one I posted a photo of the map of. They were quiet and went through great mountainous countryside, few people around.
It was hard to take photos that showed the roads at their best but I got a few.
Then to the port and a ferry to Rafina.

Andros surprised me, I was expecting it to be a bit package holiday type place but it wasn’t.
The area near the port wasn’t perfect but it was handy for a late ferry and I got a greasy pizza which did the job, all I could find.
Next day I meandered down to Ormos in the south east, really nice, laid back town. That was Sunday and Greeks, traditionally, have a big Sunday lunch so tavernas are all full then closed or empty at night. I got fed and watered though.
I’d go back to Andros for the roads and the smaller places.
On the way north I passed an old lad at the side of the road beside his old Yamaha, 200cc he said, I thought maybe 250.
He wasn’t broken down, just waiting for something but was delighted I’d bothered to stop. And he liked my bike.
Night in Rafina and now on a ferry to Evia, see where I end up, no real plan except head north.

If you look carefully you can see a series of hairpins, that’ll be the twisty bit in the map
And I forgot a food photo
Lunch yesterday
