if i took all that stuff...i'd have to leave the Mrs at home
anyone else looking forward to getting out and about again when it stops raining? any new bikes for anyone?
just been out finishing a bit work on my triumph, started 3rd kick after not being running for over a year now, canny chuffed apart from running a bit lumpy on one cylinder but that'll be something or nowt-hopefully.

Been out whenever there's been a break and commuted to work in the few dry days. I did get caught out in the rain one morning as the weather app lied and said light drizzle but it was torrential rain and I had already committed. Bike wise I have been looking although dreaming at this stage, switching between an Africa twin, vfr 1200 and rocket 3, yes totally different bikes but would all be a lot more comfortable for the planned cruises (in my head) once my mate passes

Always has been but I think the scumbags can't easily nick cars these days so bikes are more accessible. The best you can do really is lock both wheels and lock it to a ground anchor and not leave it out in the open. Just about any lock can be cut or drilled though so it's just case of slowing them down or putting them off completely. Be sensible,don't show it off or leave it where someone can have time on it

i've always thought if they want it they'll get it but i think it's the casual scumbag you want to deter when you're out and about.
even now i always make sure no-one is following me on the way home and when it goes in the garage. many a time i've carried on riding past the house if i'm suspicious.
in the garage, a good ground anchor/lock/door alarm is vital and never forget to use them.
out and about just use common sense where you leave it and always use any security you're carrying. no good thinking i'm only nipping into the shop for a minute to come out and it's gone.
hope you enjoy your new bike mate.

I'm off to Norway in July and loads of mates were interested in joining me. Once they look at the logistics they realise they can't do 14 days away. I managed to get it down to 12 and one mate has committed to go.
June I'm off to Spain and Portugal, 6 of us going because a week away is much more manageable.

we went to norway for bike rallies a couple of times, lovely country for riding. how are you getting over? are you riding up from holland? there used to be a ferry to norway from newcastle but it got taken off, even the one from harwich was cancelled.
done spain/portugal but it was only ever straight down to the algarve. folk rave about the picos mountains. most of the people i'd get talking to on the ferry would be heading there.

Had my first post winter ride on my Triumph Speed Twin to NY500 near Pickering on Saturday. The Triumph Factory Tour was there. I like the look of the new 400’s especially the Scrambler

I've probably said on this thread there's lads going about on scooters,if it's not at least locked up they quickly snap the steering lock and push it away with the scooter, gone in literally seconds.

2689 n that’s without getting lost which will happen
Only done 1 previous in 2022 to Spain n Portugal which was superb.Jealous of that mind, haven't got the holidays or the biker mates tondo owt like that
They done one last year but I duffed it.
I’ve heard Norway is fantastic on a bike but expensive when there.
Yeah I’m lucky n do shift work of 4 on 4 off so can utilise days to go otherwise I’d be struggling.
Where in Spain n Portugal ya going as done some of that in 2022.
Will have to learn how to post pics mate but will try
We went through the Picos in 2022 from Santander working our way to Santiago de Compostela n headed south down to Porto n across to Covilha before heading back up to the ferry.
Superb ride.

i like all sorts of bikes but we all have a preference to a certain style/manufacturer.
