Hi All Happy owner of a Diavel 1260S that I picked up 2 days before Lockdown hit... Apart from a couple of 'vital' trips to the butchers, it's only been the past couple of months that I've been able use it properly & it's now nicely loosening up with 3k on the clock. I've got a BMW R1200GS for my regular commuting/touring, so this is very much my weekender! Cheers Chas
argh yes one of those tax-havens.. welcome chas, you could of course throw a fiver in the kitty too subscribe proving your not stingy.
Welcome on board! Three thousand miles is how many laps of the island? Keep an eye out for @portboy. He's from those parts, but now pretends to be Welsh.
Welcome aboard. So you must report on the new race track on IOW, maybe a video of a lap at full speed?
Ah, must admit I've been onto the mainland with it commuting a couple of weeks - work in Milton Keynes, so easy to stick 600 miles on in a week without much trouble
Welcome to the gang. Nice place to live but a weird vibe. I was at Cowes Sailing Week last year and met ole’ boldy William and the lovely Kate. First time and the last. Enjoy the weather.
They've done a lap sticking to the speed limits - I knew this was happening (have ridden the route numerous times), but you'd need balls the size of melons to do racing speeds down the smaller lanes
Yeah, I know what you mean about the vibe - I do everything I can to avoid the red trouser brigade but it's a lovely place to live (until you get too old & have to rely on the NHS, at least).
Welcome Chas , lovely photo of the Duke parked up on the layby carpark by the Old Nunnery, with Carisbrooke Castle there as a back drop. Newport born and bred thus Portboy.
The people who are there for Cowes Week are the ones that create the weird vibe methinks? The island & islanders are of course a bit strange (islanders, what can I say) but in an endearing kinda way in my experience.
