It all depends on the weather. When it continues to piss down, non-bikey. If it will stay dry for a couple of hours, I'll be going out.

Bikey!

Over to a mates in Bristol tonight, Fishguard-Rosslare ferry tomorrow, then 4 days to get round the Waterford, Cork, Kerry, Clare and Galway coasts before heading up north to meet up with some mates near Cookstown for the rest of the week. Back next Sunday/Monday.

Plan is to spend 4 nights of that camping but it might be a little damp.

Bikey. Testing an XJ6 and a Hornet. Hopefully will be dry, too.

I'd be interested to hear what you think of them both. I've been looking at the two of them as possible contenders for my first "big" bike.

They'll both feel like it'd be quicker to walk. That much I can tell you in advance.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATE.

Me: Bikey. Cleaning the trusty old CBR1000 up for sale as yesterday I put a deposit down on a new ride. Excited is an understatement, although until I've completed the purchase It's not mine.. and I was supposed to be buying an oven bounce

I'm Looking at a F800GS and now have the 2013 model in mind having seen the Khaki green one online.









Feel free to take the piss rolleyes I really don't care.

I have a thing for this sort of bike, I demo'd and loved the 1200GS but OH hated pretty much everything about it of it (her words "it is a big lardy thing, you will regret it")...tbh looking back she had a point and probably saved me from making a £10k mistake.

Then I was looking at a KTM 950/990 Adventure but tbh the spark wasn't there for me...don't ask why I just didn't gel with it.

Will let you know what I think of the 800 on Saturday, I've not really looked at them properly tbh as in the past I was looking at 1200GS and ignoring the 800.

I have watched every video review on Youtube and read pretty much everything online, all sounds very good tbh.

IF I like what I see then will book a demo (solo and two-up) once the weather bucks-up a bit.
