870 hard ridden miles miles over Fri/Sat/Sunday. I’m still amazed how the GS goes when you hurry it along.
Common as muck tho. Out of the 7 of us 4 were GS’s
Home and having a well deserved beer.

Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?
I've got a Honda CRF125 for my kids. We were out with it on Saturday, at the old brick pits. The older one (14) was going well. The younger one (10 but tall) decided to have a first go.
It didn't go well. As soon as he let the clutch out he gave it too much throttle. Which threw him backwards so he automatically opened the throttle more. So he was racing off and starting to fall sideways.
I lunged after him and tried to grab the bike and hit the kill switch. I got it but got a bit tangled in the bike as I did so. We were all on the floor by now and so was the bike.
He was fine. I have some scuffing to my legs.
I like it when a valuable lesson is learned. But not when it's me that learns the lesson!

Honestly, it's not syphilis, it's where a child's bike fell on my legs.

You're terrible Muriel(s).
The 14 year old is very cautious on it. If I was 14 (nearly 15) and my dad had bought me a proper off road bike I'd be ragging it like I was Rageh Omaar.

Good to see you

It's a long time since I've seen a KH400
There was a RD400E there too

Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?
Dunno why, but preferred them in blue.
They were slow compared to GT250 and RD250, but they sounded so good.
And IIRC all the triples ran on BelRay.
Ooooooh. That smelt nice.

Not riding but an even rarer event.
Washing it.
With Harry checking to make sure I don’t miss a bit.

Trip down memory lane for me right there.

2. I sold the first one to buy a Malagutti thing but it was shite. So I sold that and got a Fantic Cabellero but that was also shite. So I sold that and got another Fizzy!
