Spending the Week up the Lake District, thought it was rude not to take the old girl along for a ride over Hardknot and Wrynose pass, which is my favourite Road in the UK
Enjoy the slideshow

PS: couldn't find a wheelie bin, so I fitted a bucket to the back of me happy camper ;)

Bloke heaven I reckon - I can imagine you grinning from ear to ear riding those roads - I noted two seats outside the camper one for the very understanding Mrs Fatal? :mand:

Great shots of a beautiful part of the country...

Other seats for the Dog:gromit::gromit:. only joking, being someone who doesn't like motorbikes, she puts up with a lot
Bonus side is you will notice, I do not have pillion pegs on my bike:mand::mand:

Be rude not too, perfect for when the kids are playing up, just vanish on the bike and leave it too the missus

She's a rescue dog, rescue centre thought she was a cross spaniel, and no Dirty, I don't mean angry:rolleyes:

And yes Acid Yellow is the future :mand:

Mmm, I can get away with a lot but I think that may cause a few domestic issues.

Might suggest it in the morning?... :worried:

If you do make it to Hardknott & Wrynose make sure your false teeth are well stuck in;)
The sharp Z bends are badly rutted and rippled:dizzy::dizzy: and you have to be very careful that the turns are clear, as the limited steering lock of the Monster makes them a challenge
Bloody good fun though:thumbsup::thumbsup:

whats the mobile home ,, model, reliability , practicality etc
Its a Monster forum, Ill get lynched talking Motorhomes:look::look:

but in answer to your questions
Bessacarr E760 on a Fiat chassis with a 2.8 tjd engine
Very reliable
I find it practical for what I do, as I don't like Hotels or B&B's

The trailer is a 1986 hand built , "Triggers Broom special"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUl6PooveJE

Its had in its time new: tow hitch, axles, wheels, tyres, suspension units, mud guards.
It started out as a single bike trailer, was then converted to take an ATV (trike), altered again to take a quad, then altered to take 3 solo off road bikes, but is now back too where it started as a solo bike tailer:eyepopping:
