Hands up all the big boys n girls.

Postby Stewie » Sun Jan 13, 2019 9:56 pm

Hi all, just wondering if there's anyone up for a big bike ride, big bike normally over 650cc and duel purpose adventure type bike.
I've got several routes that suit all abilities, happy to put something together if there's a call for it.

Stewie. I’d be up for that. I have a CB500x with a Rally Raid kit on it. I know the CC is low but the weight is there and it’s considered an adventure bike.

I’m on a Tiger 800 XCA on Bridgestone Battlewing BW501 tyres. I’m new to this so thinking I may have to wait a couple of months, unless you think not?

I'll get a nice easy route sorted then, tyre wise if it's dry 80/20 are OK I run 50/50 all year, but the one thing to remember is you're riding on unpathed roads, so there is always the possibility of dropping the bike, if this is a concern think twice, that said its great fun.

I’m running tkc80’s which are pretty awesome on road and mud. Look forward to the date. I’ll try and twist Newsh’s arm. I’m away end of Feb.

I’m up for it on the 950SE
Easyish route preferred cos I’m old and I hate picking it up.

950SE best big bike ever made in my humble opinion. I had a 950 adv which was a hoot but a bit too much timber, for me at least. Then they went FI which was pants for off-road.

If the date works I’m up for this. Tiger 1200 XCA with knobblies or if weathers been rubbish the 690 because wet chalk and 250+ KG of triumph isn’t a great combination.
