Ha ha - doh!

No worries, I meant that first post for Duke!

Went out for a 50 mile blast with my dad. Was totally liberating just going out on a dry evening, on some wonderful twisty local roads. Found some new ones today which I hope to be able to find again and maybe follow them further down next time and see where they lead. Thoroughly enjoyable ...

You should have said, I could have given you a decent route. There's load of traffic about due to the road works.

Cheers mate, so far so good, all I need now is some dirt lol..... I am down in Berkshire, so I think that is a little too far for me.

Frankie that looks awesome!

Stick to R&G Kwacky their products are second to none. Saved my bike from some serious road rash a few years back!

Also let us know how you find that brill cleaner, I always like trying new products

... for having stiff suspension which is what makes it so good on the track. Rumours are the newer 636 is the opposite, making it brilliant on the road but not that good as a fast track tool.

... up lots going pear shaped this morning :( moan over.... Anyway, as it was dry, I would just get the thumper out for a tiny little run down a dirty road I know, turned out to be clean and full of dog walkers, so not to plan :( oh well, How can I describe this bike. HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!!!!!!! ha ha ...

Don't look at bike crashes in the far east. They tend to be riders and pillions without any riding gear on. Guts over the road isn't pretty lunchtime viewing.

Lesson one with a single thumper Frankie, never snap the throttle off mid corner slide, the things have massive compression braking.

A lesson it took me awhile to learn coming from two strokes.

Looks like a ton of fun!

Already got boots, well old enduros type boots, they will do for now. Pulled out my old helmet and pants from the loft, trouble is pants are bright pink and lime green ha ha, a little too bright and a tad tight :( Helmet is an old Roberts, but is past its sell by date, so I do have new googles and h...

Sweet looking machine, Frankie.

Now you will need motocross boots, helmet, goggles. gloves and gear

Whaaaaaaaat! I can't hear you.....hang on let me turn the engine off....lol Yep it's a Sherco, made in France and Spain, orignally Known for trials bikes, but have been producing enduros as well, supposed to be a little brutal in comparison to the others, (bothered!------Not ha ha ) The name comes f...

Bet it sounds naughty with that can on [emoji48]

That looks like a giggle, and I'm betting with a 450 single the front end will be aloft nearly as often as the tiger.

looks a whole lot of fun

I'm not jealous

Looks like a Scherco, a French-Spanish manufacture. The sell them in the US as well, but not seen them in the flesh yet.
