Hello from Imogen and James - the PieRats
« on: March 20, 2024, 13:14:59 »
Hello
Although I feel like a slight fraud as we're still waiting for our lovely 1050XT to go though the garage checks, I'm just SUPER excited about what looks like a beaut - fingers crossed for Saturday 6 April!

Having done the obligatory year pootling about the Americas on an, ahem, 1991 Africa Twin (don't hate me - check out the blog if you're bored - "PieRats on the Road" https://www.offexploring.com/imojam) and giving the (also obligatory) talk at the Overlander event in 2018 (https://www.overlandevent.com) hopefully I'll meet some of you lovely lot on the road!

Cheers!
Imogen

Got to love the proper Africa Twin XRV, not those imposter CRF things!

Don't worry we allow those without V-Stroms on here, we have a Traitors Corner - I've not had a Strom since 2015.

Hello and welcome. It doesn't matter what you ride, even if it's a 50cc scooter, as long as you are on two wheels you are one of us.   :welcome2:

Cold and wet in winter but a smile on your face, the same smile in the summer but with dead fly's in your teeth  :thumb:
