Great videos Juv'!  I've just watched part 3 & 4, they're really good. It's good to see you caught numptynut having his tumble .
Thanks for sharing them.

DOHHHH!
Thought I'd got away with it!! Only 3rd in a line of 12 with cameras at the ready sh1t!!
Left foot down or right foot down?.....oooops too late should have been right - no road there!!!
Thanks for help picking up. No damage just dented pride.
Great day though all the same!

I love the last bit, up that hill, doesn't look so steep on video does it.
That was proper offroad.


Thanks for taking so much time over these Juvecu, we all like our bike porn, and you are our main supplier lately

Looked like a tyre chewer !

[Juvecu]

It was, my rear tyre has loads of small shallow cuts in it, all about 3 to 6 mm long, but no deeper than about 1-2 mm. Probably not that deep any more, done more than a week of commuting since

Absolutely fantastic vids Juv!!!!!!! That last one looked absolutely incredible, still got a massive grin on my face now just watching it. absolutely gutted though that I missed that last bit.
Hutchie or ptarmigan, you're going to have to show me where that is!!

[Dracula]

Spent alot of time watching all the vids, even the thought of them makes me grin.
Cracking job folks.
Great memories

  I've just watched the stromtrekker videos thanks to a little extra work from Juvecu . They're all really good!  
I still haven't washed the peak district off the wee. I might get round to it one day before strom trekking 3?? I've got some Rat Killer for the next trip to wash sven's port down.

Juvecu,  
Brilliant, brilliant videos especially part 5. Have been waiting all week for that one. Just brings a huge grin to my face seeing that last rocky bit again.
Thank you for taking the time to do them.

& once again thank you to Hutchie & Ptarmigan for their time & effort to organise it.    

Just a couple of things that I learnt from the Stromtrekkers week-end.....
1. Local knowledge is everything (I could have ridden around the peak district for days & not found half of those tracks)
2. Going slow is really good fun.
3. Need to take more port next time.....
 
OK maybe not the last one...

Glad it was a soft landing, I'm sure everyone on here has done it at some point.

       I won't go too much into an incident I had with my first bike a 1974 Honda CB550, it's centre stand arm and some concrete steps when I was late for school!  I'll just say it was a rather ineresting bike/rider ballet!    

[Juvecu]

The CB550 is one of my favourite old bikes, wish I could find a good condition one with the black & orange paint scheme and the twin megaphone style cylinders both sides for a fair price. Like this one below, isn't it lovely? I would swap my CX + cash for one of those without a blink, even if the CX is completely restored



Lots of money for a good example though, check this advert. £5k!

It's a beauty.

My mate had a mint one until he lost it on a bend and wrapped it in a jacket of metal railings. He broke his leg and the bike was written off.

There is a member of the Gloucetser Bike club who collects bikes and I understand he has a special edition version but I can't see him wanting to part with it :(

[Juvecu]

I saw a newly restored GT750 (Kettle) the other day (warning stickers and all) at the bloke that did my MOT. It stood out amongst all the other alike looking sports and race bikes he had around in the shop and looks like a proper bike should

I used to have the 500 4 with a 4 into 1 yoshi mega, great bike, had years of use from it, pearl black all over though, no orange, you could hear it start over 2 miles away at work when I was going home      
wish I still had it and the 350LC now, id be a rich man      

[Juvecu]

THE 350LC with the auto cancelling indicators?
