Hi guys just bought myself a 06, 650 Transalp... my previous bike was a Kawasaki GPZ500 but I'm getting a bit old for the riding position so for the sake of my back,knees and wrists it had to go.. The riding position on the Transalp is much more comfortable..here she is... my new baby....

Visited the Pyrenees for the first time back in September, to take photos for a group of cyclists doing the "Raid Pyrenees". The scenery and roads were quite fantastic. Here's a video clip coming down the Col de Pailheres:

Whilst building House I have not had time with work or house to go out on the Fat Bird, SO Today was the day I had thrown toys out of pram, donned the water proof enduro kit and went for it. Over the Bwlch, Rhigos, Penderyn, HeolSenny, Sennybridge, Llanwrthted wells, Abersycan Via a nice forest...
Had my head down lately, having a bit of a clearout of the garage....

Well, here she is, yesterday's purchase, and my first attemp at posting a pic using Photobucket...... hope it works!
The bike was originally advertised as a '99 model but when I asked about the VIN it's only 11 digit, which puts the bike at around '94 or '95. The paint job, as you can see, is...
Changed the oil on my AT yesterday and what a lot of messing about! Up on the centre stand to get the crash bars off to get at the bashplate. Then onto the sidestand to drain the oil. Then back on the centre stand to fill her up and put everything back on.
And what a pain getting the bashplate...
These are AshleyM's videos of our Pyrenees trip in August, enjoy!

Back in June I had the time of my life riding down to the Pyrenees and attempting Vibraction’s Road Book 2.
I travelled with my buddy ‘TerraStrom’. He rides a modified V-Strom 1000. I ride a trusty old Africa Twin. Hope you like the pics. For those interested full write up attached...

New member here, should be piloting an AT within a few days, so thought I'd better sign up on here as I plan to hang on to the old girl
Bike history started with an RM250 crosser, then some C90's to get to school on, followed by a rake of V4 Honda's - thought I'd never be without...
Just back from a lads trail trip to the Pyrenees with Tendays and AshleyM. Put the report and photos over on ABR for those interested.

Great time!
Sharrie, Mike and myself decided to ride to Portugal on a trio of mighty Beemers for Sharrie and my daughter to practice riding half ton beasties across the Portuguese hills and forests.
We headed down to sunny Portsmouth in what was a start of a hot dry fortnight.
Our crossing point is the old...
