There's nowt to beat it on a sunny sunday afternoon, in a convoy of about
20-odd bikes... or even just a few. Best convoy run I recall was leading a group of about 40 out of Swansea and over the Black Mountain to Llandovery and the caff. One of they charity dos, easter egg run or somesuch.
ive had no problem in muddy stuff either. it sounds like it is just wet grass that get em. They definitely last well. Im just about to put 2 tyres on my car after 13k miles and my trac edges are still going strong after 6 years or so!

I will no doubt be titivating him prior to placing him in the back of one of the rags but if someone wants a little work to finish him then I could reflect that in the price. Though given the work that's already gone in to him he's no longer a project so won't be a "project" price.
Little work at the mo prior to camping means; Plumb in gas to cooker and hob & add vents as appropriate Add pipes for sink drain - provided Plumb in water pump for sink - provided Finish internal paintwork Complete internal decor Add curtains Book camping pitch
He's currently set up as a 2 berth sleeping but will transport 4/6 depending on how the seats are configured 4 seatbelted or 2 seatbelted and 4 side facing. Could easily be made in to a 4 Berth though with existing space and a little time / fabrication.
