Best thing about winter, no bugsplatter, you see them coming, you see them scream in horror moments before they die, how do we live with ourselves.

I don't go out looking for that.......but if the opportunity arises (especially if somebody's on prestigious shit) then I may consider it!

That Tomos needs a beak if you want to get taken seriously on ButtRider!

You’re not really saying I’m wrong, though

All @XTreme’s talk about being a decrepit guy out on his last ride is bollocks, @Sir Fallsalot. I’ve met him, he actually goes out searching for people to leave behind, he’ll want grippy tires. When my current Scorpion Trail 2 wear out I’ll be happy to go for TKC70 again, those were the best I had. Except if going to Morocco, in that case I’ll fit something tougher like K60, which are crap and noisy on tarmac but competent offroad and tough as hell.

It was a national holiday today so I thought I'd get an hour out on the Beemer! I've already tested it on Motorways, A and B roads, farm tracks and light offroad paths. All good so far.....so I thought I'd give it a test on the canal paths! These have multiple variations of surfaces varying from billiard table smooth to trenches.......and just about everything in between. Along with bizarre cambers and falling debris strewn across your path. And there's the added bonus that if you get it wrong you'll end up dropping 6 feet into the canal. This particularly one is relatively easy......the final one up into the reservoir itself is a bit rough! It's virtually all concrete but it's completely broken up into various zig zag patterns and trenches which can trap your tyres and take you off course! That's for another day.....I just wanted a gentle jaunt this afternoon! After all, I am a Pensioner FFS!

Good stuff, bots. I wonder what kind of coffee maker they used for that trip, or if the burger place where they stopped for food also offered them a milkshake in exchange for a review.

Shit like that can get you killed! Cos once they start building up it could launch the bike into a violent Tank Slapper........and I know all about them after my unscheduled dismount at 110mph back in 1978. But it's clean now......Death and Dismemberment is averted once again! Tell 'em @Tym

I like this video!

An Old Age Pensioner on an A2 licence motorcycle going out looking for people to race with? It doesn't sound like the behaviour of any normal old person to me @Pedro

On the bright side my front brake lever has the coolest bend to it, almost like a hook at the end now.

It's a farm Bob! I can't just go riding into somebody's farm! Some of these Dagos have fucking bulls running round on their land!
