    the latter.
    despite being short, I do have a 32" inside leg measurement - having
    owned a CCM R30, a BMW R1150GS, a Triumph Tiger 1150i, and currently a
    KTM LC4 Supermoto, I'm not bothered by tall bikes.

    And yes, you can take that as a bite ;-)

  3. They've got WR250Rs (which are a little lower than the WR250R) plus they
    have TT-R230 which are lower again.

    I have to because I've just had a couple of days of total confusion.

    Friday 07:00 I checked out of my hotel.
    Friday 12:00 I was told I needed to be on site on Saturday morning.
    Friday 12:30 I phoned Adie and told her I'd be home Saturday
    afternoon.
    Friday 13:00 I phoned the hotel and told them I'd be back in the
    evening.
    Saturday 08:00 I was told I was needed on site tomorrow.
    Saturday 09:30 I phoned Adie and told her I'd be home next Friday.
    Saturday 10:00 I phoned the hotel and told them I'd be back this
    afternoon.

    I could have gone home tomorrow but we'll be working until 17:30 so
    I'd get home at about 20:30 then have to be up at 04:30 on Monday
    morning to set off for work again. Sometimes my job can become a bit
    of a pain.

    I've got a proven track record when it comes to finding gullible fools
    willing to camp in the snow so getting them to go somewhere warm will
    be easy.

    Er, can someone point out the differences on booze social perception between
    German places... and places with camel shaggers? UKRMers on touareg mint tea
    for two weeks?
    <fx: wait and see>

    NSU Quckly, followed by a Bantam engined Tiger Cub chassis that we paid
    far too much for ... ten quid

    Was the Triumph taller to accomodate the extra 195cc engine capacity?

    Do you honestly think we won't get beer in Morocco?

    If we can't get booze then I'm sure we can source some finest Moroccan
    Gold and throw it into a tin full of cake mix.

    Would it help if I said that it barely ran and the rear mudguard was
    held on with string? No? suit yourself.

    It was my first bike; first motor bike I ever rode. Bought off a
    schoolfriend who wanthed to upgrade to a YZ for racing.

    I first rode it in a car park. A police station car park. In Hong
    Kong.

    To be honest, I don't know, Spaniards going to Morocco are more concerned
    with smokeable stuff ;)

    Serious. We're planning on doing the Tuareg Rally in early 2012.

    It'll be easy.[/QUOTE]

    It will be warm :)

    Glad to see you have dropped the cold ones.
    :)

    actually using an off-roader as your first off-roader is still
    cheating.
