Happy New Year and safe rides in 2018.

Best wishes

I had a 500 euro note in my pocket when I went to the Picos a couple of years ago. Everywhere I tried to use it either could'nt or would'nt change it. I ended up changing it at the bureau on the ferry home. Imagine trying to change a £500 note if such a thing were to exist.

Me too. Good reading

Price seems ok. Got £7,000 trade in for my 62 plate earlier this year

Nice report Bob.

You obviously would'nt have been accosted by Leyburn's village old boy because he has moved to Northern Ireland  :clap

Good luck with your Tracer. Good bike. I too went lighter and it has helped no end although l still miss the mighty GTR

Very sad news. RIP Nicky.

This coming Saturday 27th I will be joining a bunch of mates on a long awaited tour taking in the N.C. 500. We are a group who started touring together about 10 years ago after meeting on the CBF 1000 forum. Most of us have had a variety of bikes since but we have carried on meeting up 3 or 4 times a year. Syd (Iamkwackers) from this forum organizes the tours and we always have a whale of a time.
I have recently had to change my GTR due to injury and have gone back to a CBF 1000 Mk 2 which is a lot lighter. Syd is a serial bike changer and has just bought a new Versys 1000.
Our mileage for the 8 days, which includes the journey up and back from Devon will be about 2,000 miles and similar for Syd travelling from Essex. Not bad for a couple of old boys of 72 and 77 although we are boys compared to the Rev Ken at 79.
The main point of posting this is to show that some lasting friendships develop on forums like this and we are both looking forward to joining you in Yorkshire for the GTR meet. The weekend after that we are in Wales for a long weekend. 

Remember, You dont stop riding when you get old, You get old when you stop riding 

Good luck Al. I recently took £7000 from a dealer for my 2012 in part ex. Would have probably made another grand privately but the deal was right for me.
I expect there will be a Beowulf can for sale soon then 

Recently sold 2 blood bikes to the red cross in Malta (both of them Bavarian) I guess demand outstrips available bikes there.

Welcome to the madhouse

It's free now

Cheers

Thanks Paul. Even better as I'm doing the NC500 myself in 4 weeks. Last time l went over there was when l drove a coach load of tourists over about 10 years ago
