Big road bikes; Let's use 'em.

[Tony W]

At great risk of ridicule and banishment from the Adventure Forum
I have observed that many of us keen adventure riders have more than one
bike at home in the shed.

The bikes you have which I am focusing on, are large capacity "road bikes".

I often browse the 'Touring' Forum to see if they have organised rides such
as we do here in the Adv forum.
The impression that I get is that there are no rides such as we organise.
( I stand to be corrected )

I have never yet met an Adv rider who is anything less than enthusiastic about bikes and riding...oh and socialising too !

The idea I'm chucking round then is, is any one interested in the idea that
us 'guys' can also get together and do 'road' trips too?

I am very mindful of not treading on toes here, as some of our mates do not
have these bikes, but I also know certain 'envious' fence-sitters who might
take the plunge given the incentive of another ride.


So what do ya reckon..?

( and yes, just in case you were wondering, this is all " CARY's " fault !!!! )

Every things Cary's fault. I like his new Ducati it's nicer than mine. I would come along on more of these rides if I wasn't on opposite shifts to Cary's and could spare the time away from family atm. The road rides sound good.

[jafar]

Yep I'd be in as well

Can't we just bring beemer's then ??

Yup, I've got an old GS1100GK Suzuki gathering dust in the shed. Hasn't turned a wheel since I got the KLR. Warrant expired, registration on hold, battery as flat as a wet turd. Sad.

Bring anything you want just remember that when the seal ends you're not even half way to somewhere you've never been before

A, Wot, how's that work!! I mention I got a DUCATI 999 SUPERBIKE once and road ridings all my fault

Every things Cary's fault. I like his new Ducati it's nicer than mine.

And I protest Anthrax put the idea in my head!! After dismissing buying a more dirt biased Adv bike(I did get Tiger thru 42 ok) I was FORCED to buy something! and the sound of his 900FE just drew me in........

Does sound like a good(no GREAT) idea but but what to bring, the long distance comfort of a road tyred Tiger or the sore arse/wrist, lack of fuel range of the 999 (might have to do a Marks) and trailer it in........
