I was walking around the BMF show years ago and there was a bloke standing all on his own by a BMW rally bike, no one seemed interested in him. I went and spoke to him and had a sit on his bike. I left shortly after he talked about going over his handlebars and breaking his pubic bone. I walked with my legs crossed for about 20 minutes afterwards, felt a bit queasy. That was John Deacon who died a few years later.

Just rewatched it seen myself at 7:09 on the Suzuki with the blue seat, paddling slowly and avoiding the water in case my pants get accidentally washed (97)

I searched John Deacon on Youtube and up came a 1998 Cambrian Rally highlight video with a brilliant commentary. I'd forgotten he used to do those as well. I know I was there and he mentions 3 people I was there with, Strange Dave, John Perk (Perky) and Jackie Mawhood, but I must have been too slow to get near a camera. Worth watching just to see Pat Tighe muscling his Africa Twin through the boggy bits and the Transalp with a customised fairing, customised by leaving a large piece in the welsh scenerey by the look of it.

Is it me bad eyes or does the Pince of Wales offer Butt Combing services? Asking for a hairy butt named Bruce.

You have the sound on when watching Itchy boots i new i was doing something wrong

Not my video but done by one of the pillion passengers from today’s little jaunt on the tarmac. Headed up to Aledo from the Mazarrón area and then back via some small caminos. Don’t let the sun fool you, it was proper chilly at the top.

All my ex's still want to kill me after 45 years!

The head, I don’t have a choice but at least it’s practical now The bike, I really like it. Would not trade, only add different ones

Yeh but if you think your patience is starting to get slightly stretched then you go shopping Ray! Give the new one a good test ride.....making sure it's fit for purpose......then administer the red card to the current one! Then get stabbed!

You just left that hanging there for editing didn't you!

This was my first road legal bike after passing my test at 18 years old. I bought it part built when i was 17 and finished it off just before i passed my test, i loved riding it about me and the wife spent a lot of time on it. A bigger motor would have been nice but i probably would have killed myself i was daft enough on this

You're killing it for me dude.....? You are just jealous of Pedro's younger backside...... lol

Despite the fact that Pedro had apparently urinated in his pants?

Typical Londoner.......no forward planning! This is the way it works Ray......if you're going to red card one you gotta make sure you've got at least one replacement ready to go on the subs bench.

Things are underway.....? A new change for the bikes, they can only have 6 tire changes in the whole rally, that will make things a bit more interesting. KTM also looks good to take back the title and from what I hear today some Honda riders got lost, soooo.....

When my ex moved out of our house she crushed cereals into the carpets and took the hoover, peeled all the labels off the tins of food so I had no idea what was in them and removed all the lightbulbs. She also took every stick of furniture apart from some beach chairs in the garage and a crappy old TV. Mind you, it was a small sacrifice to get her out of the house ???

After i rode Tammy's dirtbike for an hour or so i couldnt walk for a week.

and made a video: At the end, while there is a bit of an @XTreme moment happening, Michael Jackson's "Dirty Diana" was actually playing in my Spotify in my helmet I visited that convent twice in two weeks, once with great weather and no camera battery, and this time with camera filming but the weather like you see here.

Incompetent missed me!

Sorry Michelle! Take your diarrhea into another thread you @Mawsley

@Pedro understands you are just a square peg in a square hole ?

What does Imodium mean? Listen to pronunciation. (ih-MOH-dee-um) A drug used to treat diarrhea. Imodium slows the movement of the muscles in the small intestine to allow more water to be taken out of the feces (waste matter) and more nutrients to be absorbed. ?? I THINK WE ARE OFF TOPIC AGAIN......thanks @Mawsley

I really need some proper wet and cold weather riding pants to go with the jacket

Bollox to that Pete, sometimes you’ve got to acknowledge the limit of your patience ????

Torquay......in the long hot Summer of 76.....I'm on the right with the bad hair!

The seat was wet, it was raining ...

Just skip Fred's comments @Grasshopper's Ride.......I told you he was a sick deviant!

I'm good with the view......?

Possi's website has been a favourite of mine for years. He's a german doctor that has travelled over 300.000km on all continents on his BMW HPN, usually flying the bike there and riding back or taking a few weeks long tours around. The site is all in German so I don't really understand it, but then again it's mostly all pictures, and they're amazing. You can get lost for hours there, just dreaming away, as he's a great photographer. https://www.possi.de/ There are trips from the early 90s until now, it's a great internet picture book.

She was 12 years old when I got her and I always kept her clean, she was a proper lady.

Mmmm not exactly sure, probably about 1990. She also held my car as ransom until I gave her half the equity in the house. About two months after I got it back a mate of mi e was in the passenger seat and pulled the sun visor down to find a note that said “this is my seat you bitch” ? I had to pull over as me and him nearly pissed ourselves laughing. Just for the record there was no ‘bitch’ ???

My ideal bike would be a Triumph Tiger 800, but I've also been considering the Honda NC750X and the CB500X. So, a mid range adventure style bike. Another alternative is a more road orientated bike for distance riding and a small off-road bike for the fire tracks through the woods. Still plenty to think about.

I was going through some old photos and found these lovely photos of my first bike, Betty. ? The old CB650 fits right in with the new "modern retro" look. Fun to see 25 years ago I was hanging out with my bike and a wrench, glad to have found this happy place again. ? (Had to giggle at the sticker I put on the one photo) ?. Always having a party!

Well I've been belted by at least a dozen females......and stabbed by one! I might have behaved inappropriately on a few occasions, and the others (including the stabbing) was when I red carded them. The situation with the ex-wife was I'd already told he I'd had enough of her shit (and jamrags) and I was leaving. A few days later I may have inadvertently mentioned to her that she was being replaced by a 20 year old........and she just lost her shit completely!

Did more of that than usual as i had wet pants Glad you like the view Bob

@yen_powell is a movie action hero?

I do think this problem is real I've seen how ill my wife was with it so i try not to take any risks. I've just had 14 days off work and have left the house twice to go on the bike for the sake of my sanity and a few times in the car to drop my daughter off at work, and the whole time watching the world carry on as normal through my window. Tomorrow i'm back at work with about 30 others on a construction site with all the hazards associated with it and travelling 100 miles a day to get there and back with the biggest fuckwits you'd ever encounter on the roads and that is deemed all ok by the government but go out on my bike for a few hours where i don't encounter anyone else on the quietest of roads and trails once a week and that's not allowed in case i fall off go figure

A mate who I use to know has an ex John Deacon KTM660 Rallye bike. It's the real McCoy and I've ridden it, it's a bloody animal to ride. God knows how they hang onto those things for 14 days in the desert

What was in the van, assylum seekers

A cear case of Projection!

Well done Pedro, that's a pretty good effort imo. You could pehaps get off and talk to the camera when you're at the points of interest like the convent ? The bonus was the nice view of your arse when you stood up on the pegs

So in Bristol, England we are in Tier 3 at the moment. So after reading the gubberment guidelines ............ Where possible, you should stay local and avoid travelling outside your local area, meaning your village or town, or part of a city. People should continue to travel for reasons such as work, education, medical attention or if they have caring responsibilities. I decided to ride around Bristol and observe some of the street art. I decided on ignoring the Banksy's as I've seen those loads and loads of times and tried to find some new stuff. First off is this one which is about two miles from my house and I think it pays homage to St. George's park which is next door to it...... After that one I was struggling to remember where I had seen some others, I really need to write things down or make a note in my phone now that old age is rampaging through my two brain cells ? So there was nothing for it but to check out the boozers (public houses to our friends across the pond), we have some funky ones around here. This is the Full Moon, or it was 40 years ago when I used to frequent it on our pub crawl into town...... and here is another one of my old haunts, the Prince of Wales. Many an unsuspecting female student has been chatted up in there by me and my mates At this point I'd like to make a request to the owners of diesel cars in Bristol............... CHANGE YOUR FUCKING FUEL FILTERS AND GET A SERVICE DONE YOU STINKING BUNCH OF WANKERS The amount of shitty diesel fumes I inhaled today made my stomach heave, no wonder I prefer to ride in the countryside ? and finally, a house by Jct2 of the M32, which as everyone knows is the greatest motorway in the UK ?

Your "conservatives" look like pinko commies from here. Just saying, words used to have meanings.

I think you'll find that's Butcombe Ales Tym, the service you're talking about is generally offered to Conservative MP's in the UK https://butcombe.com/

I could guarantee that I'd get done! ?

Good thing i bought "Forever" stamps!

Thank you i might be wrong though

The first day of 2021 ended nicely! ?

You should have at least been nominated for MOTY back in 2020, you know cool stuff.....?
