Some desert riding on the XR....

Might as well use this one - already posted it on another thread though. Should have a rule here that it can't have been posted earlier or something.

I love it when the trees break down and create this rich red surface to ride over, nice when it's dry but a bit tricky when it is really wet.

Here's a pic of the kids for my submission, it's kind of a two for one deal with these two, they are never far apart, true buddies ?..... @Pedro let me know if this is bending the rules and I will change the photo ?

Hopefully their mothers are available and i get a date

That explains it......?? I like hanging out with you old guys, you don't get your panties in a knot every time someone says something you don't like, and you're not afraid to speak your mind.....even if you are slightly off your rocker.....?

Just a lass then.

I'm smack dab in the middle then. Pedro's 40? Shit, I've got underwear that old.

Got locked up on a lane today, luckily I wasn't travelling at any great speed This may remind Fred of the 'underpants ' incident

In a lot lesser scale, I can sort of relate to that from when I spent all my money and free time making my track car ready and safe to go on track, only to have shit happen regardless. Some wine helps you with that ... and some rust preventive product probably helps the boat as well

Yes it’s the drivers union, no career change involved.

I have a lot going on right now, I'm a shop steward so you can imagine how things are crazy at the moment. Bob is undoubtedly a cunt though and don't get me started on boat boy.

Bob was calling for Bruce......Bruce turns up.....and then Bob legs it! If Buck hadn't legged it he'd be calling him a cunt for sure!

My lovely 2003 XR400, out enjoying Ribatejo's summer, And the GS: Ericeira: Algarve, near Santa Clara Dam: near Faro: Mertola:

That's because I shot him and Buried him in Tregaron. ?

Some Swansea chavs jacket

We're OldSchool Men Michelle.......no Millennial Pussies on our watch! And we're more than happy for younger ladies to hang out with us! What you say @Tym?

Apart from @Grasshopper's Ride I don't think there's anybody else under 50.

You're by no means the oldest. There's a few ahead of you (me included at 66) with @Lone Amigo as our senior statesman who's 75. @Pedro was the baby of the forum on DSUK in 2004.......and he's still the baby now at nearly 40.

Old! At least I feel old at times?. I'm a youthful, vibrant 62. With the knees of a 90 year old.

It;s a lot of fun out there, although the rocks beat the shit out of you. Not any smooth riding at all and constant jarring from hitting rocks. Kinda tough on my old bones.

It's got it's place, lots of people ride bikes on long motorway trips and commute to cities, this is just another thing to make their life easier. Me? I love my cruise control, apart from being great on the motorway I use it around town and country roads to adjust my gloves or zip up or down my jacket, get the phone out and onto the handlebars, etc, really useful. Not to mention standing up and adjusting underwear in hot days This technology helps safety equipment become more advanced and less intrusive, so if you're using your bike on somewhere with plenty of traffic, oil or diesel spillage, frost, etc, it'll just become better at saving you without actually being annoying.

Word!

No sir, I don't like it.... ? I'm not a radical luddite, but too much technology just takes away the fun of riding for me....but then look at me, I ride a Himalayan.....?

Havnt seen any pearls of wisdom lately from @Buckster ...weird!

Some good pics this month, will have to get mine in tonight. ?

Good to see you back with us though @BusBoy........you've missed some great Ride Reports in your absence!

and what the fuck happened to our boaty friend in Wales, perhaps they're out together on a date ?

He's run out of people to call a cunt ?

Remember him trying to attatch a trailer to a 125cc Chinese heap of junk, it was definitely an accident waiting to happen ?

Maybe there's a long queue at the camera shop?

I can't imagine they'd eat the shit that @Pedro seems to like!

Then there are these guys - loads of them, hunting in packs. My driveway appears to be a good hunbting ground for them as we always seem them there. They are the main culprits for snagging cats and smaller dogs for dinner..

We have a bobcat that hangs out in our front yard from time to time, he's a fat bastard, too. Haven't got a lot fo good pics of him as he's always here during low light times; early morning, late evening. Don't see them much in daylight.

I thought huawei was taiwanese or korean, so that shows how much I know... I don't knowingly buy anything chinese but break off the outer wrappings and most electronic goods are built there. To be fair, the bubonic plague thing is a media hype I think, it reemerges regularly in various parts of the world and is now fairly easily treated and dealt with as I understand it. I don't subscribe to the conspiracy theories about covid or other deseases, but then I don't subscribe to any of the myriad conspiracy theories that circulate so readily on social media so maybe i'm just too naive and trusting. nothing I can do about any of it anyway so wether it's natural or done "a purpose" the result is the same.

Ugh It's difficult making a selection ? Well I love taking our R1100GS'ses offroad And yeah, I drop 'em too. Most of the time I can get them back on their feet myself Love traveling offroad too, with luggage And once we bought an R1100RT to make a sidecar off, but when we got it, we couldn't help it to take it for a spin first too hahahaha

More snow Bruce ? This is actually outside my house , it was taken just after I'd fallen off as I hit the kerb that i couldn't see ? and then off to see how far I can get before it gets too cold or I fall off..........

Wales isn't it butty........

Shropshire .....

In the mountains of central Sulawesi, Indonesia, before I got serious about offroad and added full knobbies + machete. But not a bad spot, eh? People call the village Ollon, because someone once said it looks a bit like Switzerland.

Hey @XTreme, remember this?

After all these muddy pictures, I went and dug up a few pictures from the old days, didn't find what I was looking for but found these from when I first started riding my XR, back in 2007 I loved riding sand back then, when I bought the bike it had a few cables badly routed and the steering was stuck. Since I fixed it, I started falling down in the stuff ?

not done any real off roading with the tiger yet, but just a couple of lanes and bits

A bit of tunnelling on this ride the guy that's with me is 70 years old this was 2018 he's given up the trail riding now. He said something about me trying to kill him LOL

The downside to owning a kick-start only bike had to drag it out the rut to kick it up

First trail ride on the T700, on my way back from taking it to the dealer for first service ?
