Finally took the plunge & went to Bridgewater yesterday.

Me debit card is feeling a bit limp because it knows what's coming. Order for a Nomad placed. Role on the end of the month.

This forum has been an absolute goldmine of expertise and info while I was researching and making up me mind.

Big THANK YOU to all on here.

Cheers,

Paul.

For sure it's a heck of a lot of bike.

But I have an affinity with the wilderness so it seems the bike to chose.

It's first proper outings are planed for 2 summers in Iceland getting properly into the interior. Which apparently is stunning.

Iohan's videos are very good indeed  :)

The Dempster Highway would be enough of a challenge for most folks (me included) in summer. To do it in winter. I take me hat of to the guy 8)
