I would, of course, really like to ride to the 4 corners of the earth. Not doable for myriad reasons. A four corners of europe trip would be fun, and is an idea put away for later but not forgotten. The four corners of France Is kinda on the cards, but the plan has turned into more of a "all the way round, passing through the cardinal points" idea and is still in the planning stages. This is the first one of a "cardinal points" or 4 corners of the departement idea ( hey, start small right!) and it might very soon be the limit of travel anyway. So, North, East, South and West. Starting with the Northen most point of the Yonne department accessible by road. a round trip of 180km which took me 2h30 minutes + a couple of stops. Clear blue skies and warm, I dunno what the temp was but I stopped here to remove thermal liner from my jacket. The northern Limit of the Yonne department ( as opposed to the Yonne river) is just south of Fontaines Fourches on the D147 at 48:23'54"N 3:33'16"E. Here; beyond this is the region "Ile de France" which is in lockdown and into which I dare not go for fear of dropping down dead instantly from the dreaded lurgy... Looking south into our clean and healthy non confined department... Then I rode home. I am hoping the 3 remaining cardinal points of the Yonne are more photogenic, or at least more interesting to look at. good ride though?

"I'll slap you so hard that your grandmother will feel it"

Thank you! Now, can you help me with a stuck KLR float? just now barely made it home leaking more fuel than a SR-71 on takeoff. Just wanted to go for one last ride, it didnt last long ? I only got one pic fuckmine. .

I found some lovely nature today........................ I don't fancy the chances of that Duck

Free free free at last! Got a cat scan, they said they dint have a dog scan, poop.

In Portugal, that"either fuck, or get off (from top of her)"

Knee-high to a grasshopper.... ??

I know what it needs, a little touch up! lol

Most the cool chit is underground. Or way up high. Might be in between things too, those Air Force types are the smart ones. Not like Navy people, something weird about sailors, cant put my finger on it.

I love Spring, something new growing everyday. ?

Such nice people too...? ? southern climate would probably suit you better Pete, more like spain then up here which has a more temperate climate. I'd struggle with the heat much of the time where you are I reckon.

GS owners. ?

My best guess is The air force implanted an alien in my groin. ?

France is a wonderful place to tour on a bike. Gorgeous landscape, nice food, variety and the French, while we are riding, are nice. They love bikes.

Oh boy, surgery scheduled for friday. Just when the weather is getting nice. ?

@Richzx6r The tolerance of lock down is fast approaching it’s end. The general public, businesses and the government are all in unsustainable positions, everyone has had enough so if the plan to vaccinate our way out of this doesn’t work (or it requires anything more than an annual vaccination) I suspect we’ll learn to live (or die) with it same as every other communicable disease out there that can kill. Many other countries have always been in that position it’s just never been an issue because they’re not wealthy... Ebola.... sars... Lassa fever... yellow fever I could go on.... and on ?

The wife said it looked like shit so gave me something to rub it down with......a sanding block apparently. So I rubbed it down and it looked like this! Then it was another coat of paint..... So definitely looking better. I'm going to leave it now till we come back from the horses, then another rub down in a few spots and another coat of paint.

in Older times just eating was special.

Well.....I have met one or two English who were OK Dave!

It something you say when someone asks you for something you're not willing to give them or do, or something unrealistic. It doesn't make sense in English neither does the verb translate, it means "You would want, you would want, potatoes with eels" Might have been from an older time when potatoes with eels was maybe a rich dish, I don't know.

Did that here...Used to play in the dump on guam l;ike most the base, i considered everything air force was my toy, the air force dumped anything they wanted, fun fun fun until you glowed. Now its a superfund toxic waste site endangering the drin king water for most Guamanians, hafa adai they say.

To describe a loose woman: "she's as whorish as a chicken" because of how hens offer their behinds to roosters, I assume

Face like a bag of spanners. I wouldn't like to pay for their breakfast (about a large person) Go and throw a few fucks into them (telling someone off) Blood and guts (the red and cream colour of a particular company's railway carriages) Up and down like a whore's drawers (about uneven paving) No two pounds of him hanging straight (an ungainly chap)

Its probably cheaper just to flash the @Mess "send more motors" spotlight into the internets..and wait a few minutes...it'd be at the door Shortly.

Bummer..."they" say......A stuck float can be caused by the premature death of the needle and seat, a fuel logged float sinking to the bottom of the bowl, or garbage in the line not letting the needle close fully. And other stuff..... Should be an easy fix. If I was closer, you could drop it off, I would enjoy working on that bike. ? It is nice to see the KLR out regardless.

"Come on, shit or get off the pot", when you are taking too long to do something.

I didnt and didn’t know what any of the above meant either but thats what googles for ay. I have heard of Hanger 18 though, makes some folk very excitable.

My surgeons father was a doctor when my pa was a doctor, this guy is my age and big with robotic surgery thats necessary, they are taking out chit, i really dint ask many questions this is all in my network, no co pay, you dont say anything to fuck that up. I might be Tymmy hes only half a dick soon. ?

I hope everything goes well and you recover quickly. ?

Should have primed it first Pete with plastic primer, very light sanding and then the top coat. Anyway, it doesn't look too bad to me.

Bloody hell Tym , agent orange !!! Take it easy mate, whtever surgery you're having I wish you all the best

What Fred said . I carry a leatherman but that's just for basics. At the very least carry a tyre compressor so at least you can inflate a flat until you get to a garage. What's the Himalayan tool kit like , could you remove either wheel with it ? If not you need to be thinking about a tool kit that will do the job ?

No......I just blasted away with the can! The thing is I thought it was pretty knackered anyway (piece of lid broken off too) so it was no great loss if it all went belly up.

I never bothered with these multi tools i find them awkward and cumbersome to use and end up damaging the things your working on, much better to take the tools you need. If your looking to repair punctures you will need the tools to remove the wheels and obviously tyre levers spare tubes or puncture repair kit. Best way to work out what you need is to take things off in the garage look at what tools you used and duplicate them to keep with the bike.

Funny thing about the aliens, they turned out to be from here.

Shirley you jest. ?

Internal tourism would keep a lot of tourism business afloat by themselves, without actually having people contact with people from all over the world, and making thousands of people go through crowded airports. That would mean all you brits and northerners wouldn't be able to fly over to enjoy the sunshine, somehow that bothers me none

Portugal is the same in the Algarve, and 30 or 40% of that importance all over. However, you must consider that Germany is happy to allow their citizens to go to an area that is considered dangerous by that own country's government, that also does not make much sense. I would say there is a case to be made for closing country borders to tourism, instead of allowing tourism international flights.

It's a virus that spreads on people to people contact, and it starts spreading when people start contacting with each other? That is indeed very suspicious.

Well I put that into google and I am none the wiser! Wanted, wanted, potatoes with eels

Mam what we having the reply was usually a doll and a drum and a kick up the bum

It's easy, you don't need a licence, training or any sort of certificate. You have more trouble trying to adopt a dog from Battersea Dogs' Home than knocking out a sprog.

She properly slammed the door on her way out, didn't she?

I;d like to say you get used to Candians, butt. At first, except the ones who think they are french for some God knows why reason..you think they Americans, be warned, they are not! Its like thinking someone from Britain is English cause they are from Britain, kinda lke that, butt weirder. So, in the end i think Butt Weirder is a good way to decribe life south of Canada. I hope this helps. Re reading it didnt.

HAPPY SPRING ?

Still got a thing for Triumphs, bought this a few years ago then sold it and bought the blue ZRX

Bike before that was this thing when pa was stationed at Southern Command in Tampa. 125 Kawasaki loved the thing for the place and time, seized it a few times before she finally died tboning a 67 mustang fastback in my high schools parking lot. .
