Hi Andy

The bike is looking very nice

What exhaust have you got on?

Hi Steve,it's a crd absolute power. Sounds nice but it's a little bit louder than I would like. I've been trying to find a dB killer just to take the edge off it but no luck yet.

Interesting the last 3 pics I would have guessed were from western Oregon or Washington, looks like tree farm.

Nice bike Andy.

Looks like what I am trying to do with my open enduro.

I also want to paint my frame black and fit an acerbis tank. I have the same headlight. :)

They're just the Oxford soft panniers. I got the pannier rack off Steve,works a treat.

I love the Otterburn and kielder area in Northumberland,there are loads of places to explore. There's a good variety of roads from good tarmac,stoney trails and some boggy tracks which can get a bit scary in places. I once had to dig my transalp 650 out of a bog that I had ridden into,took me nearly an hour to get it out.
Otterburn moors is ministry of defence land,they practice bombing runs and mortar firing,they also have live firing excercises so you can't always go up there and when you're up there you have to be wary of any unexploded ordnance. Fantastic scenery though.

Hi, yes it is a tree farm. Low grade for fencing and the like. Each tree sells for around £15.

Kielder reservoir is man made to supply a lot of the north east with water.
