Just had an email from across the pond apologising and offering to Fedex a replacement bolt today. I can't argue with the speed of response seeing as I only emailed on Saturday afternoon.

Its been well over a week since my wife had her second covid jab and she hasn't stopped moaning about her aching arm and now i come on here for some piece and quiet and find i have to deal with yours

Heed body bars HERE! Got to figure out some bullshit excuse to the wife as to why it's critical for me to get these.......avoidance of death and dismemberment, bad knees, old age etc etc. Thing is after nearly 40 years she's just about heard them all.......so I got to work hard on this one!

Excellent advice! We need to get some truck stop food pics for @Pedro. Not nice truck stops like Petro, Love's and the like - but real, old school stops like the one on I-80 at the Salt Flats just east of Wendover. Proper, old school truck stops. Sounds like a job for this summer's trips!

Bagheera is all clean now, his poor chain was so rusty, so fast with all the stuff they spray on the roads to prevent ice. ? But his chain has now been cleaned and lubed.....he is a happy guy... ?? BEFORE AFTER

One step down from China then.

now you just need the tyres

Now Pete, what happens in Truck Stops, Stays in Truck Stops, is like a rule.

yeah i ate the food and they did a good christmas dinner

If you cant pull it off the rear sprocket half way round its still good

a split link makes life easy ?

Just tell her there's nothing left to polish on the bike and adding these will keep you from getting under her feet for a few hours, once you've explained that she'll probably buy them for you

Fish and chips from the local chippy for me my daughter took ages getting it ?

Working sod that I’ll just keep collecting the crap.?

Well looks like we can start to meet up to 6 people out doors from 29th March so need to get test done ready for that, there supposed to be announcing it this afternoon.?

It's not for pussies, that's for sure. We only have a week so it is what it is. We've loads of rides like this, it's really not that big of a deal.

Only on ones like that which have elevations rather than plan views. My Petticoat Lane market cross section drawing of a trapped road gulley has about 15 coat hangers wedged in it, because that is what the traders do with them rather than take them home, I think i may have put some hyperdermics in there as well, as the drug users get rid of them that way. When we were still drawing by hand on tracing paper I had a punk rocker with a mohawk walking across the road with a large stereo on his shoulder. I also did a proper non technical drawing to show my proposals for a market square many many years ago which got put on the front of a leaflet. It had the nutty lollypop lady in it who was always drunk and stopped traffic on days there was no school cos she liked doing it and also my then girlfriend's dad's skip lorry with their jack russell hanging out the window and his company name on the side of the skip. I have a few leaflets as souvenirs in a drawer somewhere so I might be able to take a photo of that one.

You can usually identify one of my work drawings by the turd I always place in it somewhere, it is my signature. Below is one of my drawings followed by a zoom in to each side. I have a turd block, that is to say it was drawn years ago and sits in a library of my stuff and is inserted into any drawing I work on.

Where are they made?

The deed is done! Now to figure out how to spin this.......

Really? Any confessions you want to make Lionel?

More a case of looking more of a rugged individualist in pics actually Fred! There were Givi ones on my Strom when I bought it and I always thought they looked the part.

Lot Lizard Stew, yum.

Fuckmine, I'd of thought you'd have used Garry Sprake being that your Welsh...................... Then I remembered that he was known as 'careless hands' ?

Truck Stops were the big thing for @Pedro 15 years ago from what I can remember?

make your booking now to avoid disappointment ?

Hi does your chain have a split link ?

Sounds like a British greasy spoon venue.?

Can we play hunt the turds

Not to much longer @Bruce thankfully.?

They probably think you're James Bond Yen!

But the problem, as you know, is that she's from Penlan Fred!

Same here, only our animals would eat you if you were lying unconscious on the road for very long. Can't pass up a free snack when it's offered!

I saw the other day that someone got nicked for driving to East Midlands airport with a friend.

Yesterday i seen this on the Yorkshire police Facebook page, so in my opinion now, it's no problem if your out on your bike as long as your on your own and not travelling hundreds of miles but if you do get pulled don't say Fred off the adventure Motorcycle forum said it was ok

Yeah me to, I started the other day got the tank and fairing done then got chatting to the neighbour so that finished that, back in the shed it went, I’m thinking of booking it in for its MOT this week if I can be bothered.?

Carry on your still young and healthy, most of us are knock kneed knackered old nose bags.?

Go for it @Clive you can cook can’t you.?

Are you thinking about having an off then?

This was Beemer only but had just opened up ranks. One of the places we stayed in France there was an underground bike park with a thin path going to the doorway in. I rode mine and mandi's in while most of them were still wobbling their way towards the door. Having said that there were also riders who I had no chance of keeping up with.

He has a BMW GS - hope it makes it <gg>.

Nice job!

I just give her more to do that way she has less time to moan

It was my name not his company name, memory playing tricks, but it was 30 years ago. Sorry about the shine on the paper.

Hardcore moped!

Nice day for a smoke.

You've mislaid the usual one then Dave? I wish I could mislay this fucking big Jewboy one that I've got!

I think this is the first wheelbarrow thing report that we've had!

I have on a hard drive somewhere, I'll have a nose later.
