Does anyone know of the beach side/grass area by the public toilet there is all g for tenting?

Id say thats a 50/50 on being sweet. Plenty of tourists camp there in l300 vans over summer or under the trees at the end of the beach 

[Beaver]

I pussied out and booked a bed so all gravy.

[RUNAMUCK]

Still fizzing. 

Just saying. 

[Vintage Grumble]

Keltik Ben is no longer coming, so I will possibly have a spare bed in Gizzy and Hicks if someone needs a bed. Applicants must not be snorers, puhuhuhu.

man 38 entries this is going to be so much fun

 

[mark105]

This is going to be pretty full noise

[HighLUX]

Whos rolling 2T lyfe this year?

 

[chris r]

Me if I get my scoot ready 

[Chris.QCR]

Keen to smell some two strokes on this trip aye

[RUNAMUCK]

Any more than two strokes is a wank.

[RUNAMUCK]

Made a start on my front rack today. It's going to bolt on where the factory option basket would attach.

[RUNAMUCK]

It needs some 25mm flat bar welded to the back,  and some plastic caps fitting on the ends. I'll either have it powder coated, or it'll get spray bombed black.

[RUNAMUCK]

With bungy cords either side the tent won't obscure my headlight so much.

[Beaver]

Such streamline 

[RUNAMUCK]

You make a good point.

[johnnyfive]

Probably lost 5-10km/h top speed, and lets not talk about hills, better put some more gofast parts on.

[chris r]

My storage is sorted, wheels might need a bit of lube as it looks like its been swimming 

 

[RUNAMUCK]

I'll have to do a speed test with them on there, and see how badly it rapes my top end.  

Maybe I'll stick with the rack I'm going to make for the back. 

I really need my aliex back pack so I can design it right. 

[Vintage Grumble]

Yeh I'm worried my panniers are going to cost me places in the 110 class. Not so aerodynamic.

But what I lose in speed, I'll make up for in looking like a mid lyfe crisis adventure bike rider.
