I'm 45, and my last bike is a Africa Twin 650 Marathon 1989, which has participate to the 90' Dakar.
I'm from France and I love off-road riding and driving, many times in Marocco, Turquey, Greece and next year Syria and Jordania...

Happy to join your group.

Fabien.

Welcome to the forum.
Do you still have that bike?
Don't forget to post pictures.

Yes I still got it, it is fantastic to ride it , the only problem is that now she look like a standard XRV 650 like many other marathon!
I'll looking to find some pieces to make it look like a real marathon but it's very difficult to find!!!

Here a photo of it before saling it.

Well, I guess I'm new

I have a '93 Vmax & an '87 Magna 700, thought it was about time I got something light and reliable to bring me to work everyday

So I bought a FMX last week... And I've already started modding it (thanks to a few posts I saw while lurking over the last few months)

Looking forward to getting to know my new bike and making it my own

Welcome to the forum.

In the short term try my trick. Two dinner plate size discs of the stuff camping sleep rolls are made from, it's high density foam stuff, stick them together and put them down the back of your pants as a comfort pad. Lots cheaper than a gel seat and it works. Good riding or should I say comfortable riding.

thanks for the tip. i might try something like that for short term, i've got a trip to uk planned this summer so i need to start preparing soon. mark
