Thats more like it.
A bike you can pick up, weight in the right place, suitable bike, loaded correctly.
Bumped into 6 "Adventure" bikes on the weekend, you needed a group of 6 (No covid jokes) to pick up each bike!!
And they had NO luggage.

There really is nothing like loading up your steed and going on an adventure.

Don't bother doing the tet between hayle and bodmin, not very interesting and lucky to do 12 lanes in 100 odd miles

310 miles in 2 days , about 100 miles to a full tank fully loaded, cruise at 55mph easy and with the mods done to the bike plenty of enough grunt when needed , and easy to pick up , dont ask how I know that smile

A write up with a few pictures would be of interest to the rest of us if you have time.

five of us left Dorchester at at 8.45  on a variety of bikes , crf 250L, ktm250 exc, yamaha xt500, bmw gs 650, peggi 650. Following the  GWT . Our aim was to get down to Totnes in one day and then cutting across the moor to camp at the plume of feathers, which we did manage after approx 9 hrs and 165 ish miles later , tents set up and a table pre booked for 8.00 we had a lovely meal and a couple of well earned pints of cider, woke up reasonably early Sunday a couple of coffees and hot dog and onions breakfast we struck camp and headed off to pick up the trail again at mortonhampstead, approximately another 145miles to home , an absolutely brilliant weekends adventure with even better company , no real dramas except from 1 puncture with only a strong fence to tie  the bike to for the repair , in true TRF fashion, and some lost cartons of porridge on one off the lanes biggrin  Loved it and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who has not already had a go , cream crackered though today biggrin
