As are we all; expect some news any day now - I am hoping that we can put them up for pre-order shortly.

As the saying has it watch this space...

Simon;

Chris died a month or so ago - I heard the news from another Hill Climber, although I have no other details. I will get some...

Good riding, while we can!

Mike;

Maybe we meet up at Motohubs' open day (9th October) and compare fittings... It's a reason to be there, apart from all the fun of the fair! It's also a decent mid-way point with (possibly) free coffee

"Piglet" - so called because Chris Chapman used to live at a house called Piglet in the Wild, just west of Frome in Somerset... He hill climbed it quite successfully, as did his Dad, Tom C. Both sadly no longer with us...

When I rode the GranpassoR from the factory the reserve light came on after 100 miles (160km) from filling the tank up - so after about 10/12 litres had been used (we were two up and this was in 2017). Remember that this bike uses the same tank design as the 'ordinary' (can I describe the Granpasso ...

The bike pictured is a version of the GPR (GranpassoR) - probably a really rare version of the standard Gp, but with 17" wheels. Great to ride, I tried one at the Factory back in 2017 (so long ago now...)

Built for the yoof? Or perhaps the old man who finds that the Granpasso is too heavy... but hold on a moment, it weighs the same (roughly) as the Gp. However, the weight looks to be carried lower, the fuel economy is likely to be better, and we don't go over 85 mph much now anyway. Need to wait and ...

In the UK late summer? Priced at around £7,300...

Cast wheel version will be cheaper...

Good riding? We will see! CC

And good to see and chat to you at Cadwell, Mike!

Hope the ride back was good, you were probably home well before me (got lost again...)

I think that the pegs are similar to some Triumphs

Having just adjusted the chain on the GP I know that it uses a 28mm spanner, and it was done up tight!
