And I'm Off.. I Really Am This Time

Discussion in 'Touring' started by chizel, May 3, 2019.

  1. Chiz can I say, I've enjoyed your journey and your thread. Sometimes I genuinely opened up my laptop and thought "let's see what the daft twat is upto today" and almost everyday I've had a dry grin at the end of reading.

    I wouldn't mind betting a few of us are a bit jealous that you have not only said feck it I'm off but the apparent lack of planning on a daily basis. you have provided the ability to laugh at you but mostly, with you.

    I have truly enjoyed your thread and despite resembling Warwick Davis and riding a bike that makes a royal enfield look classy, well done sir, well done.

  6. yeah, I can imagine his chat up lines, hey baby, come to my place and I'll put a little leather number on.

    She wonders out of the bathroom butt naked only to find chiz with his bike jacket and trousers on, flys all up the back of them and the inside smelling like chiz's crutch after a european tour and his ever faithful doc martens to reveal his athletes foot.

  11. The ride home from Portsmouth was breath taking.. the A3 is fantastic but the M25 is simple the best road I've ever been on .
    If you have not rode the M25, drop what you are doing and get there...
    Or better yet do it on a week day morning!

  12. Did you enjoy the Hindhead Tunnels on the A3. The acoustics are pretty good with Termi’s.

  17. I never kept track ..
    I tried to keep under €200 per day for hotel, gas ,booze and food .. that didn't happen often...
    X that by 40 odd nights ( some of em very odd) plus ferry, track tickets, tyres, break down cover, travel insurance and bits and bobs the trip was not cheap...
    But I'm classy guy, I don't do cheap!!!

  18. 8K to 10K then,a proper creditcard wrecker :):upyeah:
     
  19. Just given scrambkes a 2nd clean since being back .. come up pretty good. Needs another and a bit of detailing and you'd never know it had gone anywhere ..
    I'm surprise, no stone chips and the only damage is the snapped clutch lever and a few scuffs to the tank insert thingy from climbing on foot over tank first ..
