Hi, recently got this 63 plate vanvan with 50miles on the clock. I got it for country lane pottering & like the fact I smile whenever I look at it :)

Hi Dave, I’m still hobbling and because my big toe nail hasn’t grown back properly it makes gear changing a bit painful. Luckily I don’t ride through the winter anyway so haven’t missed much riding.
I’ll see how I get on with it in the spring :thumbsup:

And a couple of actions shots ....

Coming onto the start / finish straight at Brands, it was a tad wet and on BT012SS's so not much tread either !!

my first bike having passed last year, defo a keeper, some suspension mods might be on the cards: it's so easy to chuck about and should come with an asbo for the noise. Dealership lent me a Panigale while i was waiting for delivery - need to sort the man maths out to make it work so I can have one of those too (even man maths has its limits it would seem :cry: )

Honda CB500X, more than adequate for work duties, without enough power to tempt me into licence-losing speeds! Fighting the urge to upgrade to something more powerful for summer... (if we even get a summer this year).

All done and dusted... 5 days on track, it was EPIC as always... :evil:

Thinking of doing Jerez again later in the year ... or maybe an Italian circuit... Decisions decisions :D
 
Here’s my Ducati, on my fourth one now and love it, been to 6 countries so far this year and it’s behaved impeccably. Great way to travel

Love Ducati’s. if I lived on my own I’d have one in the lounge as they are gorgeous. Haven’t ridden since the nineties so always wonder how you guys keep you licences these days?
 
Mainly by choosing your moments to release those 160 horses and of course going overseas!!! Lot less traffic, less risk and better roads
 
I currently have a 1200 super Tenere and am now sat in a bar near Briancon in France.

Went through Belgium and Germany to get to the Czech Republic and the MotoGP at Brno. Then on through Slovakia to Hungary and Budapest, then Croatia, Slovenia, Italy and now France. Northern Spain next.

Colditz Castle in Germany was pretty special.
