My first thought was, I wish our autumns were that colourful.
I must be getting old though, I find nothing in those vids to inspire me.

I thought exactly the same thing.... :whatever:
Daveh & ARH, were you not impressed with each of the riders skills? I certainly was. Doesn't men I want to ride like that, & can imagine how many bikes they broke collectively getting to that stage of proficiency, would be plenty.
I'm impressed by the way that can handle those machines, same as race car drivers and any top sportsmen, hell even pro dart players, the way they can get 3 x triple 20's just whenever.
Personally, I take my hat off to the skill level of these blokes.

Totally agree mate... you can only respect such skills... but inspiring? Was not being disrespectful in any way, I admire the skills but have no interest in developing to that level. I'm shite at darts and football as well... :whistling: :hat:
Ahhhh, Inspiring. Yep, I got the wrong handle on it then.
The only things I'm good at is drinking beer and making money disappear.
That's nothing I can slide a bike as well.
The difference is, if I do it keeps sliding......

Yep, the day I get my knee down it will be closely followed by my elbow, shoulder and head.

My wife's good at that (making money disappear, not drinking beer :lol:)
Have to say yes I'm impressed with their skills, but then they are not their own bikes, and whilst one takes one's hat off to them, would I want to ride that that? Nope (too damn old for one :whistling:)

It's this sort of thinking that keeps us oldies alive and not some stain on the road.
Got a 1150 - 1200k trip coming up this weekend, was tossing up weather to get new tyres before I go or once back, they will be out by the time I get back & I want all I can from them, so it's on my return. So, I'll have to be careful if it gets wet, supposed to be fine all weekend though, so fingers crossed.
Plenty of tread on the sides, just the centers getting down.
Top video Barmy, I'd consider buying one of your explorer things.
Lots of guys have them down under Rick, try one, I'm sure you'd love it!!!
