Pratting about in the Picos

I wasnt commenting on you or your party thrashing about. I tried to say you are better pootling about and taking pictures ( as you did) rather than thrash about and not know where you have been.

I am sorry if you think I was slagging your trip or riding or speed. I did not intend to offend you. My sincere Apologies if I upset you.

I thinks some have got there knickers in a twist as I read your post as a reply to TIJ650 and not in relation to the parties riding.

Edit to say, stunning scenery really envious, you 3 are living the dream

I was about to post the same - defending the pace based on the bravado bollocks from TIJ650

@Bonnie Tyler untwist those knickers, you seem to be having a bad comprehension day

That’s it for the Picos .

The best days off-roading I’ve ever done



Followed by probably the best road ride ever



Skid is off to meet other mates nearby while Scoopie and me are riding home via San Sebastián, Rochefort and St Malo .

So nothing more to report . Thanks for reading /watching.

Ps
The Himmy 450 excelled itself . Amazing bike for under £7k fully fettled with Chigee Car Play, four bag luggage , heated grips , throttle lock,off-road mirrors, Barkbusters, tank bag and engine bars/ally belly pan

I think you sent me the Potes day out one.
 
The sotres tral was without doubt my best day on a motorbike Im no skilled offroad rider but by fuck the Kove 450 rally made it so easy, what a bike
Bonnie as always looked after us, we never take for granted the guy who sorts the routes and dots the i’s Top geezer
Sorry to see them leave for home, but im linking up with some mates, ill try and persuade them to do the sotres trail
 
Got back home yesterday from Picos and did the same Potes route as you chaps.

For anyone else going, seek out the CA-182 into CA-282. It’s accessed travelling out of Potes and turn right just before the roadworks. It too is epic
 
Good report and pics. Great stuff and glad you enjoyed 👍
PS. I’ll watch classifieds for gently ridden RE 450 over winter 🧐
 
Did you guys swap bikes at any point? This has the makings of the ultimate lightweight adv bike review, written by people we trust rather than journalists ultimately funded by the manufacturers.
 
A little cruise today
