I dug this crowbar out of 1930's road material in front of my house, this things weighs 7 freaking pounds! We think the 1938 hurricane put it here from the RR tracks by the water, looks like a railroad crowbar to me!....

Obviously nothing to see in there ?

Mine are 18 and 24 been married to Gail for 43 years.

A reflexion generated by posts in the " your off road photos" section where, in replying to a post by one of the girls I found my self in a potential minefield. With today's need for "political correctness" and the current trend for the public lynching of anybody accused of sexism or mysoginy ( I use the word accused advisedly as the lynching tends to take place based on accusation alone and the lives of the accused are often destroyed even if subsequently proved innocent) I found my self rewriting again and again what I wanted to say, desperately searching for any way in which my post could be misconstrued and provide offence, albeit perfectly unintentionally. I probably need, to avoid a lynching, to say here that I in no way shape or form, condone or accept any form of sexual harassement. I just find it a shame that being obliged to avoid any and all possibility of such accusation, it is easier to simply avoid any and all interaction. example: last week out by bike with friends we stopped for lunch and over the hour we spent at the lake a LOT of other groups turned up and picknicked, much as we were doing. Most of them younger than us and a group that came and sat near us had, surprisingly to me, a large proportion of girls obviously not passengers. There was an exchange of banter between us and sme of the lads as they walked past ( " oh god not more nasty hairy bikers!"... "no tables left I'm afraid but I can rent you this one..." "there's been a release of prisoners at the kindergarten"... are some that I recall but I noticed that the girls were clearly not included in this exchange. and nobody, but nobody mentioned the fucking Elephant in the room ( ie that in a group of maybe 155 riders, more than half were girls which is just massively inhabituel here.) I think that actually during at least 15 minutes there was not one single remark adressed to any of the girls present by our group. I also noticed that when we stopped for coffee a little later, there was much mention of that perticular group ( not in any sort of negative way at all), about the number of girls riding, their age ( much younger than us) and how much it was positive for biking in general and for girls on the whole. There was nothing mysogenistic about any of it so why had no one said anything to the girls? or to the group as a whole? In the same way, on websites or bike related pages, I have noticed that blokes liking comments from girl riders, or replying to girl riders will rapidly get some comment about how theyreply faster to grls than blokes, or more to girls than blokes or whatever. This is obviously counter productive as for fear of being misconstrued, I actively avoid, on certain sites, responding to posts from female riders. This is neither encouraging for the girls nor constructive for anybody else. re reading this, can I say "girls" as a collective noun without appearing derogatory? Is this just me being too cerebral and overthinking, and nobody else has a problem with this? If this thread gets too stupid I wll ask admin to pull it. ( been there, done that elsewhere...) but I'm interested what you SOG's think and what the girls think ( but i can't ask them directly cos I'd be suspected of tring to chat them up or something...)

Not Tammy, she carries a gun and is almost 7 feet tall...not all women are created equal ya know...lol

190 lbs going in, 190 coming out. Thats been stable for probably 10 years, i could stand to lose a few. I was up to 205ish for a while back before I met Jan and started eating better. Cut out a lot of processed crap food. But there is no way I'm getting to the ideal BMI the doctors want. What are they looking for, walking skeletons?

I was at 106 this time last year in June and feeling properly fat and ruined, got to 86 or 87 two months ago and was going great, now I don't want to look

Check out Tammy's latest project bike, she will fix it for the fun of it. These are the type of girls to hang out with, we have to have standards ,

I think it's great to see more girls riding.......and not just the local type of riding that we do......real hardcore offroad and RTW! And some of these ladies can REALLY ride.......the likes of us would never be able to do what they do. And a lot of them seem to be really small.......for example there's Jess who you've seen on here, and Jocelin Snow........ And Stephanie Rowe....... And Steph Jeavons (who's Welsh) who did a RTW trip solo on a CRF250L......

I have Mitas E-07's on my DR650 right now, they're a great summer tyre when you don't need something quite so 'nobby'. Mitas and Maxxis both make great tyres for trail/enduro/adeventure bikes.

Free the finger! I blame Rump!

Bizarrely I lost a little early on in confinement but I'm still 10 kiloa more than I ought to be

You can't get a Pound of Spuds anymore!

Seems i got all my money back. Weird......

Saying goodbye to a friend

You want "Enduro", do a Pete and buy these with highlighted white letters on the side: Metzeler "Enduro" They do look proper, and it is a Metzeler

Yup ripped off lol

@boboneleg.......I've seen reviews on the Mitas range with people saying they're excellent and at a low price point. But I've then seen other reviews for them saying the rubber on the tyre (virtually new) completely split and came off. Seen pics as confirmation as well. And that's the strange thing......it's either one or the other! But those reviews were on ButtRider so that may be a factor given some of the clientele.

@BusBoy is an expert on keeping cool.

I miss the Michelin T63, one of the best dual-sport tyres ever, I use Pirelli MT21 instead now. I don't consider either of these an 'enduro' tyre, as an enduro tyre on my CRF250 Rally I use Maxxis IT Pro.

CSJ.

In accordance with the restrictions here in Spain I went out to get a coffee! And somehow I took the wrong turning again and ended up in the middle of nowhere! Damn Google Maps!
