I suppose that's one way to make an impression in the wherever you go after life. Show up along with a duck and a tortoise

They were buried with him to keep him company in the afterlife

Deleted three posts. @Six30, don´t be rude.

Starmer is a cunt though

@YamaHead that looks wonderful, you are lucky to have that on your doorstep ( well almost). We don’t have that opportunity, except maybe if you live in Scotland but even there the snow is hit and miss. We can drive to the Alps but it’s a day of traveling and time wise you might as well fly. The snow is always good here, it’s like skiing on talcum powder and they have it 6-7 months of the year, although it’s often below -20 and sometime -30 (C) so you need good clothing. There are wooden huts dotted about the place which look like a Teepee with a hole right at the top. They have an open fire in the middle, the smoke goes out the top and there is always firewood stacked around the edge. You can go in and warm up or cook something over the fire. Ive been skiing on and off for 50 years, it’s the only sport I’m good at and I can go as fast as I like here, although I’m getting older and slowing down a bit. I’m crap on wet snow and I don’t like it. Always feel I’m going to twist my knee or otherwise damage something.

10,000 feet

You're 1 of the 1st UK'rs I've met that actually skis....this is where I learned how to ski... https://skibowl.com/ It was only 50 miles from home...we'd go a handful of times every season...mainly on Friday & Saturday nights. By 7pm most people would pack it in for the night or just head for the bar....so we could do top to bottom runs w/ No lift lines....till 10pm. The cabin in the middle of this pic is called the Warming Hut & it's been there for well over 80 yrs...it's a great feature of this place as you don't have to get ski to the bottom to have a break....have a beer, warm up & then back @ it! My dad put me on a pair of skis there when I was 4 y/o...one of the best gifts he ever gave me.... & my brothers. I've ski'd every ski area on Mt. Hood & the snow has the tendency to be a little heavy & sometimes wet....(known as the Cascade Concrete) but if you can ski it, you can ski ANYwhere. And compared to the snow on the east side of OR, which is noticeably dryer & faster....there's thigh-deep powder sometimes....& is fortunately where I live now.

I do remember that tale.... just about as funny as the time he broke his nose riding his boy's DT 125....

Do you guys remember when Pete had to put up a cardboard barrier around his bike?....To stop his dog pissing on his bike. I also wonder what happened to the Tortoise and the white duck.

Yeh, cycles and the motorcycle off road fraternity use it, the 4x4 guys were destroying the tarmac footpath, because they were to lazy to drive the 2 miles along normal roads to get to the forest.

Looks like It's still open to motorbikes though Clive lol

Are those bikes or bike shaped shelving, it's a good job Pete's not about to see this abuse LOL

No politics you cunts!

@YamaHead yeah is that this place is not busy, as you can see from the photos. There are beginners on some slopes but if you avoid those you can really shift along perfectly safely. It gets dark around 4 and all the locals get off work or out of school around then and they rocket along. It’s also so cold the snow is perfect. I’ve never tried the US but I will one day. You guys a spoilt for choice there, it must be wonderful to be able to drive to winter sports places.

That is the wrong picture of @Six30's bike.

Nope!.....not cast my vote yet...

Plenty of times I went with other bikes before. But this month: Clive went to some effort, but the gammon in the background spoils it even though the scooter looks great. Also, I prefer the Triumph to the scooter. I may change my vote just for the effort of going out in the cold to take a picture. The filter on the Hornet's picture almost makes me dizzy. The Beta seems to have been abandoned to die, plus you can't see the bike. You took a picture that consists more of parking tarmac than anything else, with cars in the background. It would be between mine and Sofia's, and I don't vote for myself.

and @Clive voted for himself...

theres a surprise.... lover boy .

For now, I'll go with Sofia's bike. The sea in the distance, the tail pack, and the bikes got a nice stance.
