Just heard Tuffnells have gone bust. Shame, as my usual delivery guy was a good sort. Gonna cause issues for towbar deliveries!

Neat TFR is really nasty stuff, much stronger than you'd think. Even diluted it'll strip wax off and make your paint dull. Horrible stuff.

Just out of the blue I was contacted by an old mate, who offered me his rather special X1/9 for cheap. I have money saved for my Euro bike tour in 3 weeks. Why do you get things like this flung at you when you least expect it and don't need the sleepless nights 😞

Christ, an MBX! my first road legal powered 2 wheeler. Put me off Honda's for life! Stupid thing. Chopped in for an RD50MX11.. Now there was a dream machine,.

Lancia Y10 turbo, or a Saab 600?

I had one! A "b" with the front drum..

You must have upset him.

My cousin in Germany had a brown Honda Quintet. My sausage dog used to peep the horn as LHD..

Been many times, love Triberg and cuckoo clocks! Cops are proper clamping down on bikes there though, especially the B500. I've got my quiet pipe on. Vosges was empty and better surfaced so gonna stay at Camping Labroche again, loved it last year.

Sounds interesting! seemingly theres a small car museum there now too. Would love to see the submarine theyre putting in the Speyer museum too. I've been to Gdansk before, visited in 2012 ,and stayed with family in Nowe, not too far away.

I've had a Tempra 2.0SX estate, a Marea Weekender estate and a 1991 Hyundai Sonata and a 1996 Sonata. 2x Suzuki SC100s as well. I Like this

*plans are subject to change... weather and funds dependent . Fife to Newhaven in 1 hit. Kip on Ferry then off at Dieppe. Head towards Luxembourg, over to Rügen, into Poland and ride down through Poland, through Czech, across past Lake Constance, Vosges, then Dieppe, Newhaven and home. 10 days. Camping as cheap as possible, if I find somewhere I like I'll have a couple of days, otherwise 3- 500 miles a day. Want to see the Nazi holiday camp on Rügen, the glass factory in Dresden, maybe pop past family in Visselhovede, the eagles nest in berechtsgaden, ride the roads in the Vosges.. who knows.

No, it's a big gash that looks like it's been scooped out with a knife. Cords showing but no loss of pressure. Euro tour next month so new tyre needed, £165 less for my holiday 😌. People seem to rave about these Road 5s, but lm not convinced...
