Hello from West Oxfordshire
« on: October 15, 2025, 09:24:43 »
Hello peeps,

I've just got back on 2 wheels again after a 25 year hiatus enforced by the missus - and rightly so, while our kids were young!

Anyways, they're 19 and 21 now so I've stamped my manly foot in a firm (but definitely not wanting to get punched) way and purchased a lovely 2020 DL650XA.

I have done a lot of wild camping over the years, either up in the Welsh mountains or canoeing various waterways, so I'm looking forward to extending this passion to motocamping too!

Cheers,

Chris

Welcome on board buddy.  I put my foot down after a similiarly long hiatus about 2 1/2 years ago and she hasn't spoken to me since.  I couldn't have planned it better :)

I put my foot down in 2012 and told her she's getting a bike, a couple of years later she bought a bigger one than mine...  :shrug:

Recently put my foot down and told her to get a smaller bike as she's not as strong as she used to be to handle the GSX1400 and get something our 5yr old can go on the back of...
