Look lovely, your photos would grace any holiday brochure.
But we know, all is not as straightforward as the pix imply.

We're now in the middle of the sea and park4night app has technical issues so I cannae look for a place to park up the night.. View attachment 911326

Go into Google Maps & search Parking

Go into Google Maps & search Parking

Ach I just parked on the beach facing the ferry terminal, there was 1 Italian van here at the time. Since been joined by a turk. Had no bother so far and it's 11.30 now so hopefully be OK for tonight. There's a campsite near by but no signs saying no motorhomes or anything

 

[Northernraider]

As a change from motorhomes and to keep those who enjoy chasing vehicles like I do I'm currently on the scout for a motorised bike for the rear of the camper.

I'm interested in a few options, either a cheap road legal enduro ( aka off road bike )

Or a large wheeled scooter.

I don't want a wee wheeled scooter.

I'd also prefer manual gears or semi automatic

And it's gotta be light ...

So at the moment I have these on my watch list.

Some Need a bit work which I'm totally fine with as I would quite like something i can modify a little and perhaps have it colour coded to the camper.

I don't want to spend more than £1k in total .
And it has to be south England/Wales for collecting etc.

So first up

This old honda , same year as moby , enduro , road legal although it requires mot and v5 applying for. Future classic and would look good painted to match moby. I'd be looking to pay a good bit less than asking price though

Pardon our interruption...

Then there's this honda innova 2011 , 125 semi automatic, these things are getting rare and they're very popular In Greece Turkey and Morocco where modifying bits are easy to get .

Pardon our interruption...

Then there's the suzuki equivalent. . Already spoke to this seller and have a buy it now price from him , super low miles on this one

Pardon our interruption...

 

[Mousy]

Then you’ll just need something like this for the dagws..

There is merit in keeping the capacity at 125cc (or below) as many travel insurance policies restrict cover to that capacity.

I now plan to take a larger capacity bike on our travels and obtaining cover is quite a challenge. Ironically, if you ride the motorcycle to the continent (where unarguably the risk must be higher) they are happy to provide cover but as soon as you stick it in the back of another vehicle they get twitchy.

XLR def most fun, innova is bullet proof, had one ages ago to commute, is boring ……

He's gonna need a bigger trailer

 

[Just smiffy]

I’d get a decent e-bike, no insurance/mot free solar power to run it and not much to go wrong and will get you to most places you want to go….

 

[bigtree]

Personally I’d buy the xlr, ideal for exploring down tracks to quiet park ups.

Sod that . They cost more than a second hand scooter or motorbike and no where near as much fun.

It is my favourite of the bunch but depends how much hed take .. not paying his asking price and he's turned down 600

Yes all are 125 or under. I had looked at a few ktm 200, 250 enduros but minimum of twice the price anyway

Well the xlr got away apparently... I put a second offer in at 650 , its been on at 845 for 30 days lol and it's apparently now sold for 845 with only 30 minutes left of the listing.

Will see if it gets relisted later


But in no desperate rush ...not back in UK for 5 weeks yet.

The innovas are well sought after for old scooters as its hard to get ones that aren't fully automatic. But I've seen some awesome modified ones in Turkey and Greece, the young lads really trick them out so not all boring. But at 99kg they're very light too .

But some ask silly prices for them too .

The suzuki address is much the same bike

 

[Northernraider]

In other news that big green n&b clou apparently sold last week but has since been relisted.


And the mobilvetta I posted that was 10995 also apparently sold but has been relisted first at 9995 and now dropped to 8995 . I'm guessing it had something wrong with it but looks a good van from the listing.

 

[Lenny HB]

No surprise there, looks great in the ad photos but in real life its is another storey.

Yeah it's often the case ... although at that price I wonder what folk expect . 9k isn't a lot for a motorhome.

It's the longest day tomorrow yet the sun sets here at 9.05pm which seems very early .

Aye that's about how I remember it back home ...nearly 11pm and still light.


Well it's 21.45 here now and just starting to get dark.

 

[Jays2]

Anywhere in the world you get the same amount daylight.

Its more in the north from the 21st march, and more south after the 21st September.

This is why we like going south spain in the winter 2.5 hrs per day more daylight around the winter solstice.
