I took a run to Castril......that's far enough to be able to get some rugged individualist type pics! Shit like that is critical to try and dispel the namby-pamby motorcycling persona that I've been lumbered with. And If we go back to this month 15 years ago I was also in Castril on a Beemer! That Beemer's obviously been replaced.......however, I'm still wearing the same jacket, jeans, and boots! They're in a bit of a state now.....but I think it just adds to the rugged individualist image myself! So here we go......watch and learn you Casuals!

Did you miss me? I had some heavy family shit to deal with and didn't feel capable of pretending everything's normal whilst dealing with it. Done and dusted now, except for some administrative details that will take ages to sort out just cos that's how the burocracy works over here. With a bit of luck, and a smidge of decent weather I should be riding again tomorrow, as I will need to hide from the twins birthday party ( albeit a reduced one). Right now I have 2 weeks worth of drivel on here to read in order to catch up.

Unfortunately it came 16 years too late for me benefit from it! TOURISM IN WALES TO OPEN UP FOR EASTER – BUT NOT FOR THE ENGLISH What you say @Sir Fallsalot @Specs

Pete said............... That Beemer's obviously been replaced.......however, I'm still wearing the same jacket, jeans, and boots! They're in a bit of a state now.....but I think it just adds to the rugged individualist image myself! Not one bit of it, it's down to the fact that you're a tight fucker Nice pics btw

Remember Pete, don't be doing all that perfect Spanishy type talking then falling for the parting comment 'Have a safe trip' and answering 'Thank You' in English like in The Great Escape.

You've never had the same look on the West End since they refused to give you that OAP discount back in 2002. I tried my best for you in the Elan Valley in 2003 as well. I don't think having Mad Mandy in tow helped much.

In my time there it was the West End in Llandovery (which I first visited in 1972) or the Ponderosa on the Horseshoe Pass. I know some sad twats like Ren used to go to Abergavenny Bus Station.......I went there once with him about 20 years ago. But standing in what amounts to an open car park surrounded by bellends who all sound like Carediff clowns isn't exactly my thing!

I think Rich is partial to an up and under!

You seem much the same as normal and I use the word “normal” very loosely.

Which I know is a subject close to many people hearts. Well.....things are being stepped up here in Spain as well......to deport BRITS!

Murray walker the voice of motor sport has died at the age of 97 , he always came across as a decent guy RIP

I'm classed as an essential worker because we supply all emergency services (Ambulance, Fire service and Police), plus without us delivering vehicle parts to keep the delivery services for the shops going the world would grind to a halt.

not that I'm aware of, but then we have a much better class of illegal immigrants here.

I hope your birth certificate is in order. You're not still down on it as a girl are you??

Good point Yen.....I've got to be one step ahead of these Deportation Dagos! Just imagine if I did get deported......where would I go in Britain? Obviously it would need to be in Wales......so any houses near you @Renegade? I'm sure they'd love to have my kind in Cardiff!

And I want them back YA JACK TWAT

Owls nest everytime.

hey look at the apehangers on that

? I think you get a free pass on the tear front on that occasion.

Its when the x-ray people tell you things like "degenerative" and "impingement" while you;re crying in pain is when its a sign. Not saying i was crying.....

I don't like the westend or the Abergavenny Bus Station either, i only stop in these places for food so if i'm Llandovery way its the owls nest now or the garage cafe in sennybridge https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g551970-d4134256-Reviews-Owls_Nest_Tea_Room_Diner-Llandovery_Carmarthenshire_Wales.html

Well I didn’t say I wasn’t a knackered old ‘un too! Just highlighting it wasn’t full of poseurs.

Oi i resemble that remark

It was full of knackered old men when I went ?

Cardiff comes up on all the ‘store finder’ searches as my closest store, completely ignores bristol cos clearly I’m gifted enough to walk on water ?

Well I’m not happy about it. The majority of the windows here look out over Wales so I’ve looked at Wales everyday thinking ‘soon as this is over I’m going over to the steel horse for a cup of tea’ Steel horse is now closed permanently unless someone with deep pockets arrives on the scene ? Heyho I’ll be sticking with a cup of tea and pasty in the car park for while whoop whoop my exciting lockdown life ?

Henrietta Lacks died in 1951. HeLa cells are still in orbit today- literally they shot some into space (the mind boggles). Her cells are the first immortal human cell line and are still in use. Most recently used in working on coronavirus. How they got them and the legality of it’s a whole nother story but without them we wouldn’t have the vaccines and treatments we have today. So yeh one day you could be famous and immortal!

Bring back Zzzzzzzzzzzzzack and his vast collection of tin helmets

Well Pete called me an honorary Welshman once so it probably has something to do with that

Looks a great day today.......I'll be out later for a little while.

Moi, non, Je ne suis pas une douche nozzle ca va? ?

The Welsh perked their ears up at that.

Well the first two new parts for Bagheera went well last weekend, the Booster Plug is on and the Air Injection Delete Kit is installed. It was great because I was able to remove a whole bunch of crap from the bike. Now onto the new exhaust ?. Looking very forward to this part, the Himi is going to sound good. I will getting out on Charlotte today for a ride first, then into the tent (garage). Also a few more rides planned for Saturday and Sunday and some video editing of course. ?

Knobber , being a gimp is still at least two rungs up from bus driver ?

I saw him the other week.

Oh yeh.....we got the real fucking dross here!

hey and i still have my first bike leather from 1976

Making it to 97 is impressive to be honest, top man. Class.

Sad day. The voice of British motorsport for an age.

Ya, hope all is ok!

Good to see you Chris!

Only been in there twice, full of posers if you ask me.

I think its also to do with the reflector being designed for the bulb that's supposed to be in there not a HID or LED unit

Not possible since he was abducted by aliens.

Like two peas in a pod ?

It supposedly makes the air clean and beautiful meanwhile millions of ' cheating ' diesel cars fuck it up again.

We’re able to get out and about the whole of Murcia province apart from two municipalities. Mustn’t grumble here at the moment but I’m bloody sure that unless they get their act together and get the vaccination programme moving faster we’ll see another massive increase in cases and hence, more deaths. On a more cheery note here’s a couple of shots from today’s run out. ?

Oh I dunno, I'm plenty weird, just not a criminal. Was hoping to get less cookies clogging up my PC and leaving less info on sites, but that doesn't seem to be working. I'll just go back to Chrome and call it a day.
