Kudos to your mum. That looks like great cake. My mum is 87 and still going strong too, Dickie is spot on with what he says about their generation.

I'm actually pleasantly surprised, so many adv bikes are regarded highly but you rarely ever see anyone actually buying them. Meanwhile the 800DE seems to be really popular. That's good as I'm hoping they'll release a more advanced edition with tubeless tires and cruise control :)

Thanks for sharing that video with us Sandy .. loved it !! What a nice guy Dickie is ! You two guys just bounce off each other, great friendship.

Congrats to Dickie. Beautiful bike for a cool dude or should I dare say cool old dude. haha. It’s nice to see two good friends having a blast. Thanks for sharing. Tony.

5 to 1 isn’t compression it’s a gentle squeeze. Hello Dickies mum. When we had a go on a mates bike the only question was “where’s the gears” and the answer was usually one down three up unless it was a Beezer then it was one up three down. Technical stuff.

Oh yes you can bet you last penny, Dickie puts him Mum at the very top of his agenda, she is a wonderful person, bright and sharp despite her age, still cooks and cleans and does some garden work too, she hardly ever stops. That generation knew the hardships of the past and they are as you say very precious

Nothing beats that new bike feeling. Only had it twice myself but remember it very well. Second hand bikes are great too but seeing single digits on the mileometer cant be beaten.

Suzuki have put a lot of thought into that bike Steve

I suspect a Dicky endorsement is quite the coup for Suzuki. I’m 71 now, 55 years of riding. One of the rarely spoken about advantages for those in advancing years is the ease at which a bike allows a rider to stand on the pegs. Sure a Goldwing is armchair comfortable, but an “adventure” bike that can be ridden while stretching out is magic.

Well done Dickie and thank you for sharing the day with us Sandy.

Well done Dicky hope that you enjoy your new toy. Far more practical and versatile than all the bigger adventure bikes. I found that the 650 was ideal for me on the French trip. These bikes can be used to get to your destination and ride the smaller roads that is not fun on BIG bikes especially negotiating narrow lanes and gravel roads - car pars etc.
