@Premises187 When engineers are given free reign and no budget! :-D

Wow, that's incredible

@Hippo_Drones @airambulancekss ❤️

The other day @OfficialMrFish & I, took to the trails finally for the first time since my heart attack. It was an absobloominlutely awesome days riding, felt like spring was well and truly here. Anyhows, here is the video & fun... youtu.be/-c2ZDx1Mz4Y?si…

@Hippo_Drones @TheBHF What a challenge, Peter! Our Challenge Team are looking forward to supporting you with your mammoth challenge and will be in touch via email soon. If you're happy to message us your number too, then please do. We can't wait to see what you achieve!

@airambulancekss @TheBHF Thank you, I hope I can reach my target for you! :-)

I am going to cycle an 80 mile round trip from my work to the beach & back in a day. It will hurt but it is for a good cause & a pub lunch. I am doing it in aid of the @airambulancekss & @TheBHF hope to raise £1000 for each charity. justgiving.com/team/pete-hipp…

@StreetTripleMat @spicy110sm its just a meme... TC is not a subscription add on... in fact KTM don't do a "subscription", you just have to pay for the extra optional tech to be unlocked which is a one off payment.

@spicy110sm I found this on the trackday addicts fb group and assumed it was legit 🤦‍♂️

KTM may be further in the shit here ! Subscription for traction control is a bloody piss take and I hope he wins in court

@BlackTopMediaUK The Cox'n on one of the subs I served on had one, lovely car :-)

Now this was a rare spot, yesterday. Lotus Carlton. I remember one in the showroom of a dealer near me.

I have done some motorcycle riding today. It’s good. Would recommend.

@15griffiths Aye... I'm finding that with three bikes, is why I want to go down to two.

@Hippo_Drones I think I’m looking for the impossible, one bike I can use for everything….. running two bikes gets expensive ☹️

It's been a minute since I last posted a video, you miss me? 😁 youtu.be/UnITjaFWP60?si…

@15griffiths No need to change it if it still ticks the boxes though hey :-)

@Hippo_Drones I still love my CRF250 mind 👍

@15griffiths I think you have been trying to make up your mind on what bike you want for around 4 years now... any closer to doing so?

@Hippo_Drones That 390 adv looks nice but I’m not sure I could buy a KTM.

Had a brilliant but very eventful morning out on my @TrekBikes Powerfly FS+ 4 at the @trailbreak March Hare MTB event today Sadly I was a DNF due to a problem with gravity & another with air Huge thanks to all who asked if I was ok & offered assistance youtu.be/X-D8JYNCs5M?si…

@chipie303 Aye for sure. I quite fancy the new Honda CB1000F, but with the issues the Hornet is having I am not sure I trust the engine in that yet, and it is a bit under powered with no more torque than the others in class.

@Hippo_Drones There are just so many good bikes these days! We are spoilt for choice but the price of some of them is absurd! If money was no object i’d have the new GSXR1000 thats about to come out! £17,500 i believe 😳 Can thoroughly recommend the GSXS1000 as a solid reliable machine tho!👍

St Marys Loch today! surprisingly i didn’t feel cold fingers or toes once! A real pleasant ride 👍🤩 never even had the neck tube on!

@chipie303 Ta for the info. Took one for a spin a couple of years back but ended up getting the GSX-8S as it suited better back then. Am contemplating getting a 1000 but not sure which one currently

@Hippo_Drones Its the 1000! I find the power delivery fantastic all through the rev range! The quickshifter is buttery smooth up + down! Its comfortable! Throttle reaponse is instant but not jerky! My last 2 bikes were GSXR600 K5 + then GSXR1000 L6 + performance is sort of in between them👍👍

@15griffiths hahaha, both great bikes! :-D

@Hippo_Drones Nightmare having two KTMs 😁

@15griffiths Hi Ian, I sold the Beta last summer, went around the same time as the Aprilia. Currently have the Suzuki V-Strom 800RE, a KTM 690 Duke and KTM 690 Enduro R.

@Hippo_Drones Hey mate, what bikes do you have now? Do you still have the beta?

Are you going to the @ABRmagazine festival? I’ll be running a masterclass on adventuring with Lara AND I have a discount code for the weekend ticket if you haven’t bought one yet. Use MAJA26 for £10 off 💶
