The Garbage Run 2017
 

Done the first Garbage Run with Nathan Milward and 30 other maniacs the other week. Small cc low cost bikes were the name of the game. Anything from a Yamaha V80 to a CB200 dragged out of a shed after 30 years was ridden. I bought a CG125 for the ride which was faultless, uneventful and seriously unpowered, but seeing our beautiful country at 45mph rather than 65mph was extraordinary. Obviously not a XT post but just relaying the message that you can do an amazing journey on anything and have a fantastic time. I rode from Hastings to Lands End, up the West coast and along the top to John O'Groats and back down the East side back to Hastings. 2583 miles, 3 countries, 25 English counties, and 18 Scottish counties all in 12 days. My Kiwi friend made this short video of the trip. he was riding a C90 with a 125 Lifan engine in it which was a little ripper. It's Summer, get out there and ride !!!

Nice video. Good to see the wee bikes represented .

That looked great fun.....you can do pretty much anything on the smaller bikes. And I bet it was cheaper too! Steve
