Twin twins makes four 😁😁😁
« on: May 17, 2025, 04:32:48 PM »
Trigger decided he liked his Transalp that much, he has bought another 🙄🙄🙄.
I must admit, they are great bikes, not that I can ride either of them as I really can't touch the ground safely 😭😭😭. I'll stick to my Honda fours 😁😁😁.

There is a solution Julie, why not stitch them together, like in a sidecar outfit? This sort of thing was pioneered in WW2 to cope with very long flights ...and...and...

Well, yes, that was the plan Dave 😂😂😂😂. I don't think Graham will keep both of the Transalps. We are off to Europe next week on the first one Graham bought, which has done 9000 miles. The latest one has only done 2000 miles with full history. The chap bought it, never did any touring on it, basically only rode it to and from MOT and to have it serviced each year, then decided to sell it.
Anyways, I'm sticking to the plan, I haven't bought any more bikes, yet 😁😁😁😁.
