    Photo Rally + Bragan Bog

    Edging the bike 'twards its 1st service and took advantage of very chilly but bright 'n dry morning. Revisited a Rally point to get a better photo. A roadside pump and an old Post Office. From there I headed towards Cullaville. It's not far and it's in Northern Ireland. It's a small village...

    Mourne NI

    My default ride when I dont have a definite plan for an excursion out is to ride across to Slieve Gullion in Northern Ireland. I can see the top of the low mountain from my front door.....it's about thirty miles if you're a crow. A half hours ride gets me near to the mountains..... Great day...

    LOMO

    I've used LOMO Watersports for soft panniers and waterproof roll-top bags in the past. Good value, tough products. These days my 'away' ventures are between 2 - 7 days maximum so I can manage with not much luggage at all. For my new T7 I've ordered a few bits from them. I'll be utilising one of...

    A Mountain Pass.

    @electric_monk Achill Henge was a Rally Point a few years back. I wonder if you've taken a look at that? Whether you agree with it being planted there or not, it's worth a visit and, pretty b###dy impressive for a weekends work without anyone spotting it being done!

    A Mountain Pass.

    Ah....Healy Pass, Beara Peninsular! Lovely pics @electric_monk. There's 4 nice west coast destinations on this years rally. I'm thinking I'll fit Healy Pass in along the way. Only rode it the once last year. Only sensible to do it again...... 'tother way 'round!

    Gearing

    I don't necessarily agree with that. I've bought mine for about 90% tar-top riding with an option to meander on rougher tracks. Some might call that a waste but, after a few years using a KLR 650 then an xt660z for long distance journeys on hard topped roads, I can honestly say that, for me, I...

    What's your +- RPM difference in 6th at around 100 kph /60mph make with that 16 tooth on? Anything 500 rpm + and I would consider it myself. Thanks....

    Shantonagh. Ireland.

    Been riding bikes since I was 13. That was in1960. Never been bike-less since I was 16. I've been privileged to ride a lot of Africa, quite a lot of Europe, a bit of Australia, the UK and Ireland. Trail type bikes I've owned include a Honda 125 xlr (Does that count ?) KLR 650, xt660z, and now...

    How many members still own the T7? How many are still going to buy one?

    Still got mine. And I'm keeping it for a while. Just got it a couple of weeks back.... Not-ever-so-clement weather's seen it in my wee workshop since then. Only 150 kms on the clock. Took the time to install centre stand, heated grips, satnav bracket and elect supply (DIY) Other bits on order...
