I have a 98 T509, it’s a beautiful machine and built like a tank.

It’s funny but it’s not true. I dislike these people but all misinformation is bad and shouldn’t be spread 👍🏻

I enjoyed this, great cast. #TVsky

Great looking bike, someone has done a nice job tidying up the rear end 👍🏻

Dan Walsh was a character, set off on a RTW trip that was serialised in BIKE but fizzled out probably because he was too pissed or high to continue 😂. I liked his gonzo style, hope he’s safe and happy out there somewhere.

I read somewhere that you have to pay for your star and it’s instillation which takes the shine off the whole thing for me. It’s just an ego trip rather than a recognition. Is this true?

International football is for fans of shit teams. Rotherham supporter? Watch England at least you’ll get to see your team on TV.

Just checked and there’s nothing out of the ordinary on our Governments website so not sure where this is coming from.

Many landlords can afford to hold onto empty properties, no tennant’s reduces hassle and expense for maintenance. Energy Performance Certification can be expensive to achieve and the property can’t be leased without one. They’ll often think of the property as part of a retirement plan.

I started at 4, they didn’t make kids motorcycle helmets back then so I had a skateboard helmet 😂

I did have a 650 Dragstar too but had 3 bikes at the time so didn’t put many miles on that one.

Morocco is one of the best places I’ve ever ridden a motorcycle great roads, people and food. If you’d like to try it yourself I can highly recommend WheelsofMorroco 👍🏻

From across the pond you look like you’ve already given up. In the UK we forced two Prime Ministers to quit for telling lies recently.

You’ve got a great setup. I imagine your “go bag” contains the TV remote and some beers 👍🏻😂. I hired a DR650 in Cyprus when I was a kid, cracking bikes.

As the world appears to be going to shit I don’t think my current motorcycles are suitable for post apocalyptic endeavours. What’s the best bike for the wasteland? I’m thinking it’s the Kawasaki KLR650 🤔

Most American cars wouldn’t pass our safety or emission controls. They’re also very uneconomical and poorly constructed. I can say this as an Englishman as our cars were shit too!

Just add “I didn’t vote for him” when you tell people where you’re from and you’ll be fine. I’ve been to America many times and 99% of the people were lovely 👍🏻

I’ve been visiting America for 40 years, I’ve been all over and ridden coast to coast twice. I doubt I’ll ever go back.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

My local VW dealer gives you an option of a wash or they’ll plant a tree 😂. I usually opt for the tree because I won’t take a dirty car for a service. Seems disrespectful to the mechanic.

I never hear anyone talking about why Americans buy so many illegal drugs. The cartels and smugglers are a byproduct of the real problem, American drug users.

It’s nothing new and not exclusively a “white” issue. All over the world since the dawn of civilisation rich people have convincing poor people that other poor people are the reason for their poverty.

Possibly these O’neal Trail Lite boots nh.craigslist.org/mpo/d/east-d...
Chris (@chrisbsky42.bsky.social) reply parent
Can’t narrow down a brand but with the thinner soles and lack of reinforcement I would say they are a trials boot rather than a motocross boot. 70’s or 80’s. Hope that helps.

The 1150 did seem to have a lot of issues. I put over 40k on my 1100 (bought it on 38k) and all it ever needed were consumable items. My mates 1150 left him stranded several times. Had the 1200 for 5 years now with no problems but haven’t put a lot of miles on it.

Illegal to add a surcharge for a card payment in the UK now. Don’t know if this is good or bad but I believe most governments would prefer to get rid of cash so no work goes untaxed.

Zack and Ari did a great Multistrada / GS video years ago and it was one of the best reviews I’ve ever seen.
Chris (@chrisbsky42.bsky.social) reply parent
I’ve watched every episode even when I’m not interested in the bike on test. I do believe there’s room for the occasional “Weekend Rider” show though as I’d like to see Zack thrashing a bike in the canyons or taking them off road.
