Many of you guessed right when I asked what bike I’d be trying next!

Thought of by many as the ultimate retro, the Kawasaki Z900RS💪🏼

It’s a handsome thing and is a serious head turner here in Bali🔥

This bike has somehow evaded me for the past few years, so I’m delighted to finally get to experience one of the heavyweights of the retro sector.

We spent two nights in the village of Merzouga. This sparsely populated development is pretty much the end of the road in Morocco. Past it is Algeria, and a road that leads to nowhere. 50% of vehicles are Toyota Land Cruisers, and Merzouga is set up for 4x4s, dune buggies and dirt bikes- anything for fun in the dunes🤘🏼🏜️

I took my @xlmoto Vintage Backpack and Course The Bag backpacks with me for the trip, and I’m delighted to say I have a 15% discount code for XLMOTO, on all Course and XLMOTO gear. Just use code 15Dobbs, and you can click on the link in my bio too (valid until 24th January)

The day’s finally here: our tool rolls at @the_libertatia are now available to buy!

It’s taken us 10 months of experimenting with different fabrics, designs and straps to get here.

They’re all made right here in England from start to finish, from some of the most heavy duty British waxed cotton and oilskins we could find. Five pockets for your essential tools (wide enough for pliers, spanners and socket wrenches), with a zipped pocket closure for the smaller bits and pieces.

It’s designed to be a slim and elegant as possible, to work well thrown into a pannier, or equally, to be shown off strapped to your forks, or anywhere else you fancy. It can be attached to your bike in a second with its included strap, and the fabric will gain a beautiful aged appearance with time.

We’re really happy with it and hope you’ll love it!

Thank you all for the support, we hugely appreciate it🙌🏻🙌🏻 by @dob.bs

This is the bike many in Europe have been waiting for. A dual sport bike that’s good enough to tackle tough terrain and is so simple and old school that it even has a kick start⚡️

And it’s just £2,999 for the upgraded Pro variant💪🏼

This… is the Hero XPulse 200 Pro, and it’s HUGE fun!

You can now get your phone angled exactly right, regardless of your handlebar angle with the new Quad Lock Handlebar Mount Pro Adjustable👌🏻

And if you’ve already got a Quad Lock setup, you can buy the Adjustable Arm Pro separately.

My 1996 Triumph Thunderbird 900 is now ready to take on any adventure (with complete ease).

For the bike and my modifications/improvements, I spent just £1,497.50.

I really didn’t think I’d be able to find a bike I would love this much within budget, but I have🕺

We are ready to travel to Scotland’s north coast (and back… and then down to Morocco if needed- it makes no difference).

The stats:

- Triumph Thunderbird
- Year: 1996
- Engine: 900cc triple
- Power: 70🐴
- Weight: about 243kg fuelled up🍔
- Made: Hinkley, England
- Over engineered: yes sir.
- Comfort: all day
- Looks: timeless class
- Negatives: possibly to suave and butcher looking, and may draw attention

Price for the bike: £1,250
Price for improvements: £247.50
Total: £1,497.50 taken in Suffolk by @dob.bs

Can you believe it!? 😲

All that bike for £1250 @dob.bs talks is though why he chose the Triumph Thunderbird.

The Royal Enfield Bullet 650.

This is a six in cricket terms. It takes all of the heart and soul of the Classic 350, and gives it the extra muscle of the 650.

It’s the real deal👌🏻
