Flowers are always nice....but I'm ready to head here as soon as the weather improves....only a short 50 miles away.

At the moment we are still allowed to travel freely ( within the country) but hotels, restaurants, bars and all meeting venues are closed. Shoping malls of more than 20,000 sq metres are closed exept for food shops. There is a general curfew between 6pm and 6 am. Some parts of southern France are looking at a weekend curfew I believe, but not where I am. We are expecting a rework of the rules next week, once the Paris region is back from half term holiday ( God forbid that the parisiens should have to forgo their february skiing trip!)

easy money. she ALWAYS throws me ? (or,so i claim. cant be lack of riding talent) I bought her some new shoes, so she is just fine Stay tuned for an upcoming Baja ride - up to about 17 bikes now. Lot of first timers going.......

Word is you can build one just like it right now using Lego® blocks.

well our 3 days of winter in SoCal have passed and we got out for a run up the best, closest motorcycle road - Hwy 33. picked the best bikes to do it on, too.

DOHC 60deg. LC V-twin.....outta character for Harley. Gotta admit though, seems like a decent lump. The rest of the bike is Fugly though.

think that's old... my wife's boss refers to her as "Fangio" ! ?

We have nice flowers here too!

Tym has crash bars! Use that one.

I just pulled in another gig this morning from an existing client......so I thought it may be a good time to mention the Heed Bars to the wife. In retrospect, it may not have been the best time because I got the Death Stare!

round is a shape?

this is my first leather jacket and sadly doesn't fit me anymore

yes i used it on a few bikes that one

So if I want to go for a pic nic with one other person that's ok, BUT am I allowed to travel on my bike to get to my desired pic nic spot ???

I'll let you know, I have something coming from Poland. 3D printed handguard extenders.

It was Nigel Mansell in my day i wouldn't mind but i was in my bloody Robin Reliant the once As for Covid i think we are still waiting to hear in Wales so probably no travelling for a while yet

Tym, if the admin were to remove everyting "innapropriate" from here, we'd all be looking at a blank page...

NICE! I love this. @Bruce you have some lovely shots and more are always welcome. BUT @Tym, that is just wonderful.....those cute little leaves in the sun and the lovely hint of magenta on the buds.....lovely! ? ?

Stirling Moss when in the car.?

Or Barry Sheen.?

Well at least we don't get called "sonny" anymore!

Nothing starting to unlock till 8th March when the schools reopen, then the next shift maybe 29 Mark when we can meet up to 6 people out doors.

fo sho. should be tons of pics. given this is AGALOS in BAJA, the stories will be "interesting"!!

Is that where you Brit guys do the "taking the piss" chit? Just trying to be culturally sensitive.

A pair is two shapes, i;ll get me coat.

yep, north route has some good tarmac! Road thru Gateway is Butler gold route. Panguitch route is one of my favorite paved routes, too!

Dudes posting flower pics.... NOW, this is a lovely change, and it all started with @Buckster I have to say I am pleasantly surprised.... . More please!!!!

Our previous Covid thread began in September.......and it started off by speculating would there be a second wave followed by a lockdown? We now know that a second wave did come which was followed by another lockdown. Then we had a "go out and infect everybody" Xmas......followed by a third wave and another lockdown. So at the moment I'm still in the same boat as I've been in most of the time since late October.....a Perimetral Lockdown where I can't leave the town. The Andalucian government have now extended it till at least 4th March.....so I ain't going anywhere. As I understand it, some restrictions are about to be lifted in the UK (no idea about anywhere else).......so what are you allowed to do now?

i got mine from slingers army stores

Rules? I havent really slowed down any riding, been at work continously. Meals are sometimes a challenge, having used delivery services when things were extreme and no eating inside or outside of restaurants. Work allows you to work from home, if you desire. Our only rule is use some frigging common sense. If you feel bad, dont come in until tested. We've had people at work (<5) that were either exposed, or caught it. None of them have passed it on to fellow employees. What i enjoy the most is watching how internal meetings became ZOOM affairs, yet those most worried about sitting in a meeting spend their lunch hour in the same conf room! We do have those who havent seen since March 2020, but really havent missed em, if you catch my drift. The work at home vs work at work seem to be split down political party lines. strange ? During our "lockdown" i've traveled to Idaho for Thanksgiving (3 people dinner, in a restaurant), flying both ways. I've been on two long distance motorcycle rides around the western states, i've been to Baja to watch the 1000 race last November, and am about to go again for a 9 day ride. I've done weekly rides with the club. In all of the above, we've all followed commons sense rules and have yet to expose each other. 90 yr old mother went thru the Kung Flu last April, never hospitalized. Her 83 yr old husband was hospitalized and was home in 3 days. Friends who caught it over Thanksgiving either had very mild symptoms, or were bed ridden for a couple of days with a fever. Now, having said that, i've known some that have died and offer my sympathies to everyone else have had similar experiences. I do everything i can not to infect anyone, but still struggle with the reality of collapsing world economies over a strong flu version. I'm glad we are seeing a 98% survival rate.

Rules?

Think the lego one would look better

thats a ball ache

I think we know where the skunk smell is coming from Tymeh.

When I started it was Mike Hailwood!

I don’t think you would be stopped unless there was more than one of you, and as long as you are in your area, but some coppers are just bastards and would do their own granny so wouldn’t count on it.

So still no bike unless you're getting bread then?

Nah, that’s some sort of greasy spic thing.

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

Morocco, 2014 Morocco 2016: Portugal, Alentejo 2020 2020, also Alentejo

I went near water once....not too close obviously.

There you go the only off roading I do.?

Brilliant shots Ray! And even some with hair as well! You seen these @Sir Fallsalot and @boboneleg

A random selection in no particular order, including a couple of holiday snaps from another lifetime ?

Still, it was a fun bike....

The thing got great holeshots and launched into the first turn faster than most of the 250's, but even with the motor work, it lacked the top end punch it needed.....

Some old pics of my XR450 from back in the day. These are from 1996 when my XR400 was punched out to a 450. larger TM carb added, high compression piston, HRC cam and much upgraded suspension. I raced in the 250-A class with it. The bike was still a bit lardy and took some muscle to throw it around, but I wasn't a small lad, either...

This is her on her death bed two years ago, they tried to kill her with extremely expensive medication, since then i;ve ignored all advice from Doctors who dont seem to know jack chit anymore.... She is doing fine at 89 now, God willing i;ll get some more miles out of her. Sorry for the thread drift. .

Hah, I think I remember this one, I'm sure I was there ?
