    Wouldn't mind that garage as well and that is one serious looking tool chest in the back ground.

    Spotted the back end of a DeLorean (Back to the future type) sports car in one of his other photos, looking forward to having a peek in that garage

    Don't want to bore you all but I still will with Viking Way Trail ride 2. The best bit is from 9 mins in where it proves bigger is not always better :biggrin:

    Brilliant! PMSL :biggrin:
    Made me chuckle how the guy with all the gear (possibly, no idea) seemed to be looking at his bike in disgust as it lay on the floor each time as if it were the bikes fault for falling over?
    When you find yourself in heavily rutted, boggy tracks like that, i always found its best to stay in them.

    Mark has ridden that Tenere accross Morroco and through parts of the Sahara earlier this year, in fact it was still covered in sand when he arrived for the ride. His problem was the tyres were not proper knoblies and the bike is just to big and heavy for muddy green lanes. The gear all borrowed from the other rider Bill who runs his own little Bike tour company.

    Since the WR has arrived I have not taken the Triumph out of the garage; never thought playing in the mud could be so much fun. Got out in the Peak District this weekend

    Its Jim D up front showing me the way. There are plenty of green lanes in my area, up in the Peaks and out towards Lincolnshire; its just searching them out and the best way to do that is by following the locals. I've also joined the TRF Login
