Yep can't wait, grom is finally all back together in one piece after my interface with a muddy byway near Matlock, next job to see if i can get my topbox on it
Ben can sit and drink his g&t quietly in the corner with some euro strangers while the rest of us real men get on with drinking real men's drinks

I'm playing around with sprockets on the grom to see what works best for me. If I get the topbox fitted I'll probably be slowest as its half the size of the bike

Is there room in the topbox for me and a broken down XL?
Don't talk it up. It's going to be like Top Gear.

You can't beat a good "fraught" beer. Can't stand the fizzy stuff.
Have a great time and send plenty of pics, if you have the time, that is.

They'll have a good time because you're not going. If you went it would be a catalogue of unmitigated disaster. You just leave a trail of carnage behind you
