That's just mean. I do my best to present you island types with a view of what other places are like and this is what I get; @XTreme's throwing up gifs, and now a true world traveller's snarky jokes...

This is a thread that @yen_powell will jump at. He's never happier than when he's languishing in disgusting old shit houses! I saw this on Twitter......apparently this is the toilet on the Forth Rail Bridge in Scotland! There'll be a fucking Tsunami when those turds hit the water! Maybe we can get @Bruce to sail underneath it so people can shit on his head?

Probably the chicken korma from the canteen, pretty much looks the same on the way in as well.

Is it making you hungry?

In case you're looking for it I've merged motorcycle news into motorcycle chat.....including all the feeds. The sections were very similar so it's better to have one with more posts rather than two half empty ones. I plan to introduce a new section soon.....Motorcycle Touring. Where we'll give free publicity to all the Tour Companies, Travellers, Book Authors etc to promote their stuff. This also gives me an opportunity to ask the FB Adv Group Admins if I can post a link to this place where I invite these people to promote themselves. So it's a win-win really. The businesses get exposure here and we get exposure on FB. Unless some power tripping FB group admins put the kybosh on it of course!

I'd love to try that out see if i can get the water to hit my arse when i drop a big brown torpedo down there

I was just checking something on ButtRider......and you're limited to only 10 pics on a Ride Report. It's impossible to get away with only 10 pics when I'm doing abandoned villages and railway stations.

When there was a British motorcycle industry the carnage never seemed to bother them. Course in 73 it all changed cos the Japs had killed them off! So along came the moped laws, compulsory helmets......and all the other obstacles to getting a licence they've put in place since! None of which I understand. So the thinking seemed to be that it was fine to wipe yourself on a Bantam cos it was British......but god forbid you should do that on a Jap before they'd made money out of you. Point of interest here......I never killed myself on my D7 Bantam. Not many fatalities went down when you were pushing a bike you see. But my awful experiences with BritShit served me well in 2007 when I had to push Magnum's Guzzi to the bike shop......cos he was too fucking fat to do it.

I for one, like to gather with a few friends, but dislike organized groups.

Not another borderline schizo?

I wish Portugal's president would loose his voice. It would be worse to him than catching covid, fucker´s been campaigning for 10 years and hasn't stopped since he's been elected for the first time 4 years ago. I can talk politics as I'm the only portuguese regularly here I just heard we are extending our lockdown for the next two weeks, that's basically because everything involving a state of emergency works in two weeks intervals here, some constitutional stuff. Then he made it clear it would probably last until the end of March... ... I am loosing my mind

Sod that, those bolts holding it to the bridge deck look a bit flimsy. I wouldn't be able to concentrate worrying about that. To say nothing of the wind making my book hard to read.

That was 8 years ago in North Carolina, obviously I didn’t take the picture.

Not Shania Twain's drummer surely?

The problem at the moment is that we can't ride (in UK at least) so RR's are non existent, I can do one about my commute to work but no fecker is going to be interested in that.

Once again I have to apologise to @Grasshopper's Ride for the disgusting content posted on here! And it's always @Bruce and Fred that are responsible. @Clive......get that incomprehensible warning PM ready for these two sickos!

The Way We Were......when we had freedom!

Wouldn't it be nicer if we still had two sections, with one of them limited to real member posts? I know it would be a less volume but it wouldn't wash out our own stuff with bot posts, which ends up being a little uninteresting.

In 1972 I was not long out of the remedial reading class (but still struggling due to I.T.A) and making Saturn V rockets out of plasticene because moon landings were all over the television.

I remember riding up to the London bike show on my TS250ER, two stroke smoke billowing across the motorway. Some people went in a bus, that's cos they are casuals

There are more old codgers riding bikes than young guns, the UK authorities do nothing to encourage youngsters to take up motorcycling despite the obvious advantages . In Europe it's completely different.

I mentioned in another thread where a bunch of us left the pub at closing time and drove up to London in an old minibus to see this show in November 1972. We were all aged between 16 and 19 (I was 18) and for many of us it was the first time we'd ever been to London. The world was a much smaller place then you see. Amazing to think that was nearly 50 years ago now (I had a Suzuki 250 Hustler at the time).....but I wonder how many of us on that trip are still here? I know a few didn't make it through the 70's unfortunately. Anyway, this event was the first showing of the legendary Z1 in the UK......the importers then were Agrati. And after a bit of searching on the net I've managed to find the original handbook for that event in PDF format. So if you want a trip back in time CLICK HERE!

He's probably got a little piece of black tape over the plate I love that those two pictures are being used to sell the bike, when usually it's "never ridden hard" and "previous owner was an older gentleman"

That is on the local motorway going past Porto and V.N.Gaia, when I say that this motorway sounds like a GP on weekends that is why

and im just a young lad

I think the brits have a very particular way of hanging out in groups, not more or less but quite different to other european nationalities that I know of. I don't think it's anything to do with having wide open spaces or not, it's just a different group mentality. This opinion is not particularly restricted to motorcycles, but car enthusiasts, football fans, music band fans, etc, the group's enjoyment of being part of a group seems to be different over there.

@XTreme, the little man needs a member account here. Set him up!

yes good to see that he uses it as an anchor ?

Pete's grandson understands the importance of brakes, look at the tip of his left boot.

now that's a proper yam racing bike just look at that twin leading shoe front brake ?

I am in the same boat as Fred, @boboneleg I want a ride to work report. I just don't want it to come from a bot.

FFS, don't start posting pictures with that!

looks like the bog is struggling for roll and be careful when coming out the door or you might start going down in the world fast

I'm at the stage now Bob where i'll take anything

What a cool little dude.

The ignore feature works! Just tested it!

Yeah we did I wouldn’t want to try it now, although there has been many a moron in cars tried.?

Yeah that’s right if I’d been 6 months older could have got a bigger bike in the first place, but the amount of times I came off the moped I may have been dead on a bigger bike.?

Top man,class.

Dell and Lyn's bikes got collected by Magnum and taken back to Britain for them for a song. So I had to repay the favour to Magnum......that's the way I roll! It's a biker thing Bruce......you wouldn't understand. Neither do I of course......cos I'm not a biker. You've got to be in a little local biker club wearing a patch and swilling beer in a field of mud to qualify! And somehow that lifestyle choice never appealed to me somehow!

Hello Timmy.............. why do I feel like I'm talking to somebody's young son

But you grew out of it Yen.....and moved on to cruising the graveyards!

Is that another way of saying you have arthritis?

Yeh......and we're Bad to the Bone!

We ate bats on Guam.

They have my first road legal on that brochure the mobylette 50.?
