Recovery is coming along really well, thanks. wub.gif

Having broken only two bones in my life, the other a collar bone some 50 years ago I was surprised how much the ankle froze up while in the cast for 6 weeks.

My "smiling" physiotherapist keeps telling me to keep stretching the movements ..." it's all good pain, don't worry" happy.gif , he says,

"Yeah! easy for you to say. If it wasn't for my 40 year old mind driving my 56 + year old body, you'd be out of business" I tell him.

They say I was quite lucky they didn't have to cut the skin to repair the fibula.

Off to the fabulous Flinders Ranges, May 22nd for my next adventure, banana.gif this was last years Flinders Ranges Classic I 2008

Wish me luck. blush.gif

Good to hear you are recovering. Can't already wait for your next rideblog. Good luck and take care. Hope TDM will be more durable than in Flinders Ranges Classic I 2008. Ride as fast as your angel can fly! good.gif

But you are sane? rotflmmfao.gif

Nice new video and great bike control. Makes me chuckle that you leave the luggage on. You should get a job testing Givi stuff.


I think the topbox is where the brain goes before they go off-roading. rotflmmfao.gif

Some cracking vids there. good.gif What tyres are you using Jonc? I looked at getting a Trail attack for my Mk1 last time, but it wasn't in the right size.

The most popular tyre is Heidenau K60. Also Mitas E09, E08 and E07 are used. Looks like K60 is nearly the best universal tyre that can be used on tarmac and also on softer surfaces. On tarmac E09 seems to wear out quite fast, E07 is too road orientated for us. Not much experience with E08 yet.

Probably posted somewhere here already, but I didn't find it. Recommended off road tires for the mk1? I haven't been able to find anything by the major manufactures for the front tire size. I'd like to put on some real knobbies and try this thing off road for real one day.

I've seen pics of people w/ phat knobbies, but I wonder if they had a later model or maybe swapped wheels.

You can flip an IRC GP-110 rear to fit the front (provided the IRC GP-110 is available where you live).

Sry, no videos for a long time....been very busy.
This time something a little bit different and no offroading:

Some days later went for a really nice 11days and 3700km long ride through Finland and Sweden to Norway. You can see the trip here http://www.geoape.co...tejel-1209#desc
