Kiindky take your oneupmanship elsewhere . This is a trip report . Not a pissing contest 🤡

haha, you are in supercilious mode again

you decry others for childish tropes yet trot them out yourself

you need to develop a thicker skin as you seem to like dishing it out but get all uppity when some is sent back

man the fuck up

Ah. How fabulous .
Your post got a like from Robbi, bless him . The same nasty little cùnt who has taken it upon himself to PM complete strangers to inform them of his opinion about someone he knows fuck all about . You two should meet for a drink . Peas in a pod . Night night 😘
 
What in the actual fuck is going on here?

It just makes you want to give up on this whole forum, I know it has made me post fewer threads recently.

Can we not just be adults, stop sniping and enjoy the experiences conveyed?

I am not defending anyone, I am merely relating my own experiences that are similar in nature.

If people really do want to punch it out, then I need to set up a proper boxing ring and invite those who are aggrieved in some way, to come and punch it out in 30+c heat and no water, we shall then see who has the fucking minerals.

Cease and fucking desist.

Now.....Back to the report. :beerjug:

Unfortunately Dave there are some sad fucks on here .
You post a food pic as some people like them in a trip report , others don’t . Then along comes Wessie to tell you you that your delicious magret du canard is a horse steak and the delicious honey sauce is lumpy ketchup .
Then you tell him it’s duck and he digs out a picture of one he’s had that had crispy skin so was obviously better .
I really don’t fucking care as that is what I was served last night and it was divine .
But what is even funnier is why a sad little fuck like Robbi is on the thread .

He won’t ‘like’ a single post depicting a lovely view or stunning road . Yet if anybody has a pop at me ( which is often obviously 😜) , up his little thumb pops within seconds .
Try it. It’s fun .

Have a pop at me on any thread on any subject in the entire forum and watch his pathetic little thumb pop up within minutes .
Had him on ignore for years but it’s still quite amusing if rather sad and pathetic.As his his latest hobby of PMing complete strangers to let them have his opinion of me . Very very weird behaviour. Get a life you sad fuck .

Think I’ll add Elevenerife to the ‘adios’ list too 😜.

Anyway , back to the thread .

It’s a trip report about the trip we’re on . People like me post them as bizarrely some people like to see nice places with accompanying routes and might even be tempted to go visit themselves.

If you know a better road or had a better horse steak and lumpy ketchup then bully for you .

But it’s not relevant here and fucks up the flow , so kindly go do one 🖕🏼

So-today , we ride the Route Napoleon then views to Die for followed by the sublime (@Doc 😜) Col de Rousset then via some balcony roads to the fabulous Hotel Le Marronier in the Vercors . It was @Engineer that first put me on to it , as he did the Hotel Del Oso.
He may annoy some of you even more then me but he knows his hotels as well as I know my bikes 🤔😳😜😜😜.

Eight days in and I’m loving this trip . Blue skies and the perfect bike fucking scooter have helped 😜

More pics to piss of the keyboard worriers (sic) later 😘

…. Exactly…. Would love to have a rule that the trip reports are just that. A report of someone’s travel with their pictures and narrative….without interruption or irrelevant comment…. but then that would be Utopia….i agree with @Guru Gora , let the report continue….
Actually its been great so far and for me has encouraged me to think about a similar trip and even on taking the X ADV for a test. Whats not to like…..although now might think twice now about putting anything up by way of a report……

And the snails photo made me think to get the dozen i have in the feeezer out for dinner tonight….Still on my own until Thursday so I can stink of garlic as much as i want…
 
If he flicks the side stand out, then stands at the front of the bike and uses the handlebars to lift and then push the bike backwards, he can do it on his own. It’s a good way to reverse any bike into a tight spot, such as a garage.

Is that what you did with your 1600 before you quietly sold it ? 🤔

Great starter . Got any horse steak and lumpy ketchup for a main course ? 😜

And we’re off

Like your heavy Pan European (which you didn’t manage to sell) my 1600 has a reverse gear. The earlier models didn’t, so the lift and push method came in very handy, all be it does require quite a bit more confidence than you would need with something a bit easier (and lighter) like a GS or GSA or a sports bike.

I use the same method to reverse my Himalayan into my garage, where I don’t have enough room to walk beside it, to push the bike backwards conventionally.

:beerjug:

PS One trick I have never learned, though a friend of mine is good at it, is to stand behind the bike, holding it upright. Then extend your left leg to push the centre stand down to touch the ground. Then pull the bike backwards, to lift it onto the stand. Neat, when done properly; untidy, when not.

But we digress.
