I have lots of old and weird pictures sitting on my PC, I will post them here in no particular order and often for no obvious reason. feel free to add your own random shit.

Oh this thread could get out of hand.......you have no idea what could be unleashed.....? I have about a 1TB of photos......."Going to need a bigger boat" @XTreme

We don't have a grocery store in town, or a petrol station or any other kinds of shops, but goddammit - we have an Opera House. Cause you never know when an opera might break out at any given moment. Pics from today, what looks like the 1920's and 1880....

Got to practice using my new to me camera...nice having telescoptic's...

Dora, the storm ia here, weather is both freezing and wet, not cool Went for a walk with Costa in the morning, we came back running to the car in the middle of a hail storm, not impressed Heavy rain or hail every 20 minutes, and pretty cold outside at less than 10º.

What a lesson it was (the bike bit, the other bit you can get from videos). He got me to sit on the bike on grass in the middle of a shut park at night. He showed me how to make sure it was in neutral and how to start the engine (leccy boot on the bike). He told me to pull the clutch lever in, click it into first gear, open the throttle, let the clutch out and lift my feet up and away I would go. I did all the above except put it into gear. So the bike revved, the clutch lever was slowly released and I picked my feet up. I fell slowly onto my side with the bike on top of me! Second attempt I pulled away smoothly and rode in a giant circle about a mile in diameter until I was heading back towards him, I think I had changed into 2nd or 3rd gear without using the clutch. As I passed him I was shouting out that I didn't know how to stop.

He's not too happy, was sick a couple of days ago from something upsetting his stomach. Now feeling better but I think he has belly aches. That's his "not cool" look as the hail started to really come down

Pete's XT350: My XR400 Beer drinking hole Sparks on my brother's car A wet Nurburgring Andy Carlisle's R1, fastest bike ever around the Nurburgring Corner of a workshop Perfect autumn friday afternoon No idea what where this is Oldschool Happy brother setting up his suspension Unhappy car, just after I ran over a broken engine's oil and bounced it off a concrete wall at around 120kmh. Brother was a passenger on the impact side. Nice new engine on little brother's car, going in. Again, drinking hole XR400 being disassembled for repainting of frame. Too much riding on the beach. Baby Costa: Work vehicle for a couple of years, I enjoyed those years. Test riding a GSA before I bought mine. The 1150 on Azambuja, they fill the streets with sand so that the bulls don't slip on the cloblestones for Feira de Maio, when they spend a week doing that crap. The red boards are for protection of windows a front doors. It's like arriving in a cowboy town. Bird's nest at home Mojito Maria testing out a Derbi 660, pretty bike but too much for her to start on Pretty warehouse in belgium Pretty engine Pretty friend's car My car on track Little brother going mental My birthday about 5 or 6 years ago I used to have hair, a long time ago on the North Cape Me and brother on a road trip, a long time ago

But wait.......I will still have fun. ? Going on a short ride anyways, something is better than nothing. Then some video editing on my new video, maybe some yard work and damn, I might even bake a loaf. ?

@Tym is going through a particularly unstable period at the moment Michelle........what with those mopeds and then all those lights on the KLR! If he can get in a gun battle at the Stop'n'Stab and then find a few dead hookers in the woods it'll make his Xmas!

Main Street in Central City, today, 1957, 1940 and 1862.....

On the way to Aspen, Mineral Creek overlook in 1890 and today....

When I were a lad and CB was all the rage, I knew a boy who had mounted a CB on his push bike and it worked quite well. The bloke who taught me to ride a motorbike had one on his CM200 with a mag mount aerial on the rear rack.

With me, I don't really keep many pics that are not bike related.......unless it's something unusual! But here goes.......

I was more interested in grabbing my clothes before they blew up the street rather than thinking of photo opportunities Clive!

User comments so far,mounting location; inside front fairing of a 2003 Kaswasaki KLR 650; compact and very light weight, i overbuilt the mounting location, very clear reception, transmission not as good as reception, having no ground plane isnt conductive to transponding. Nice ergos and the back light is a nice colour for the dash. The feedback when hitting the PA makes for a great horn. I will tone down the bracket butt not the feedback from the PA,happy so far, over. ?

Good to hear, I'm clueless on this sort of stuff. Someone said that if anything goes wrong and I lose touch and I reconnect it will carry on where it left off. I'm just letting it run right now on my work lap top. If it goes tits up I'll get paid to start again, so it's not all bad!! It was a bike rally on the Isle of Wight run by an ex bomb disposal transvestite, that Welshman was wearing one of the milder costumes, better to look at him than some of the other sights.

I was admiring his tattoos. The eyes seem to follow you round the room. I hope this is right!

Very carefully, cut a small groove into the bottom bearing with a mini angle grinder, then hit it with a cold chisel and it should break free.

Why are you taking pics of a bloke from Swansea's bare ass Yen?

Militia types.

This is better I think

I used to use an old woodworking chisel (and a hammer) as a wedge between the bearing and the stem just to get it to move a small amount then you could get tyre levers in to move it up further. It only has to go up a little way and then it just lifts off. Then I found that if you rip off the outer cage and the rollers leaving the inner race and get a Dremel with a small cutting disc with cut into it. You don't even have to cut right through, it will crack open once you are about half way through. Or there is the Delboy Vice, drift and hammer method which you can see him do on Youtube

Hey let's leave the KLR out of this.....and those mopeds are cute......oh dear, what's happening to me ?

Got another trail ride with the TRF tomorrow going up around the Elan Valley if time permits Got a preview of Elan Valley some shaky one handed videoing from 2009

ohhhhh the sadness, the stupid ass bottom bearings do not want to come off the steering tube of my friend's bike, so we have had to order some tools and they are taking their sweet ass time getting here, so no going far into the backcountry for me, just not into going into the thick forest with no cell phone reception alone.... so a bit of a bummer ?

Shopfront in Black Hawk...

@XTreme.....I think I understand now..... ?

Loving these old and new pics...so fun to see back in time. ?

Now those are real cool pic's ?

Couple from my 'hood...

Love that tunnel, scary when it's icy though Oooooooops My Neil Oliver period..........

My Sporty, way back when............

Do you remember these Tym ?

Good quality shots Tym!

You needed somebody to teach you how to ride a bike? What's wrong with just getting on and repeatedly falling off like the rest of us did? Did you need somebody to teach you how to shag a bird as well Yen?

Best part, no FaceButt mods from Pakistan telling me what to say....lol

This is my favourite, also, where was that submarine picture taken?

I probably have around 1.2TB of free space on this server Bruce.....so no issue. We probably have far more available resources than any other forum out there. And if we ever need more then it's offset against Tax. And of course all the other forums put out the begging bowl to users.....I've never done that. Even when I was paying every month myself. MB stayed on my server FOC for some years even after I left........until the point the software was totally out of date and a security risk.

Most of the pics I had from the 70's got torn up by my first wife! Just before she threw all my clothes out in the street!

December is my birthday month. I have parties every day.

Just go with the normal BOTM.......cos remember we've also got MOTY and TOTY! If you give them something else you're going to overload their brains.

Purely accidental that they were taken in pretty much the same place....
