In gods country (so they keep telling me ) ?

I always said that the only way I'd go back is in handcuffs! And now, due to not being in the EU, UK arrest warrants no longer apply here! I'm in the clear!

Yorkshire people, moving south of the Humber?! it must be reet grim oop ower t'watter fur real men te come an' mix wi t'likes o they shandy drinking pooftas...? I used to have a mechanic from Barnsley, he could speak french with a Yorkshre accent. He spoke almost normal english most of the time but when his brother turned up he slipped back into using "thee" and "thy" rather than you and yours...?

Have a nice life Bruce..... ? I went riding, seems to make every thing better, planning on storming this castle, i think its a castle, looks like a castle, has cannons, nice pic of the back of my new Arai, this thing is amazing to wear. Check out Snowy in a space suit on my vent zipper.....

I have a few to choose from this month for a change. I think i like this one the most

I wouldn’t worry about it, you’re pumping air from the same region. Now if you were to do it on the road quite away from home, then do go for a coffee and give air to get used to each other.

Here's mine!

I phoned work yesterday, just to make sure I was due back on Monday... "Oh no" they said, we've had a load more cancellations so won't be starting back till the 3rd may. I wonder if they'd have actually told me before monday morning if I hadn't phoned? so, another week of furlough for me! This weekend, i will be riding.... not far, but riding. We're still restricted to 10 km from home ( straight line distance) BUT, are allowed beyond that for neccessary shopping or services. So I have found a barber about 30 km away ( the one I usually use is closed as it's inside a shopping mall) so I'm due there this afternoon. I might get lost on the way home... tomorrow I have worked out a route of around 140km that stays within the confines of the 10km perimiter... so some serious adventuring

those Deux Chevaux are killingly fun to drive! especially the older ones. Thay're an air cooled flat twin 430originally ( developing 2 fisca lhorsepower, hence deux cheveaux) or 600cc for the 2CV6. pistons fitted blind so no head gasket, a central camshaft and no coolant... fucking bomb proof! If you ever get the chance to drive one, throw it ino a roundabout flat out... the bloody thing 'll lean far enough for the passenger to get their knee down ?. the early nes wre built along similar lines to a Jeep, simple pintle and gudgeon hinges for boot, doors, bonnet and windscreen. With a canvas roof you can strip it down to engine and chassis in about 10 minutes, The original seats were also designed to be removable so they could be used as chairs outside during a pause or a picnic. they're totally cult here now.

bike's been sat for a couple of weeks due to lockdown and I just aired up the tires this morning, the rear having lost nearly 1/2 a kilo of pressure. So I pumped air into the tire, do I need to ride it gently for a few miles so that the new air mixes properly with the old and gets evenly distributed around the tire?

I once shared an office with the Highways Maintenance people, the School Dinners monitoring mob, Parks department, abandoned vehicle wollahs, skip licencing experts and the Cleansing blokes at a time when my borough had been subdivided into 7 mini councils. What this meant in reality was that we got 7 very expensive chief executives and lots of managers but the staff who did the actual work did more tasks than usual, but over a smaller area. So the people mentioned above numbered 3 or 4 in total. So the man in charge of all the above 3 people looked after the general dustcarty type stuff, but also clinical waste, dead animal disposal, winter gritting and the washing of shitty clothes for ill people. The last was used to wash our building's union flag which was briefly on display until mobs appeared on a protest saying it was racist against the local Indian population. My comment from the back of the room that it had been their flag for a few hundred years were ignored. One day I heard this bloke take a call from a distressed resident who's Alsation had died at home. They wanted to know if the council would take it away and dispose of it properly. He asked where they lived and said that he had to walk past their flat on his way home for lunch so he would drop a form in to them which they needed to fill in before he could arrange it. So he knocks on the door and it opens. A tearful woman took the form from his hand, then before he could turn away, the man of the house appeared and plonked a blanketed dog's body into his arms so quickly it was grab it or let it fall to the floor. He had to get quite stern with them before they finally took it back off him. Put him right off his lunch he said. A short time before I had shared an office with the Planners and Environmental Health. This meant that whenever I went to the fridge to get milk for tea making I would see things like a dented tin with BOTULISM written on it in magic marker. One day one of the EH ladies came in (the lovely Sandra from Brum) and asked if I had a magnifying glass. When I asked what for she said that she had just been putting sticky tape down on someone's bed to capture samples of whatever was living in it, she showed me a wallet full of bits of tape. I thought for a while and then it came to me. The Microfiche machine! That made things big. Sure enough we popped a bit of tape in and this shadowy image came up in startling detail. She had a bug ID book and you worked through from head to tail on any bug, ticking things off as you looked at each part and eventually arrived at what it actually was. Something like a red chicken mite I think, how that got into a bed I have no idea.

Yup been like that most of the month here meanwhile in Spain

Here's another version of that i think these parents are going to hell

Our neighbours Cherry tree is blossoming...........

I don’t think old whitey Pete would get away wit it with his pale complexion and ginger pubes.??

You never know, this could be the start of a new normal, wet in spain, loverly in Britain, i blame the Americans, over paid, over sexed, and out there. ?

Going to be hard to respond to this one and not fuck it up me thinks. ?

Bruce cant go he;s the only kid who will talk to me in school. Where will i sit at lunch? ?

Wife’s makeup and false teeth ??

No, unfortunately both time and available roads are not in my favour when it comes to riding right now. So I make the best of what I have, every minute is worth it. Some day in the near future I plan to be living on the road, so I will be able to go far and wide then. ?

Count me in. ?

Wallowa lake tramway....which let's you off @ 8,100+ ft. to hiking trails & a restaurant. The steepest tramway in N. America...

Eagle Cap wilderness from about 6k ft.

Underneath a F-250, 4 door, X-Caliber Edition, with leather trim, running boards, chrome push bumpers... ?

130 mile round trip still staying local as per the rules, stopped off for a couple of spam rolls and tea at the burger van in Hemswell, then on in to Cleethorpes to Rob Speed motorcycles, had an hour there then set off back to Lincoln, called in at Mark Phillips motorcycle clothing looking for new jeans and ankle boots no luck with either, then headed back home for fresh homemade sausage rolls and tea, great weather we are having, now sat at home drinking ? whisky.

Camping in Scotland.....sounds fun to me. If for any reason you manage to get some photos I would love to see Scotland's landscape. I know it is a stretch, but had to mention. ?

Yeah I waiting for the answer to that as well @boboneleg.

I'm almost thankful that I concentrate on the shit that my leg gives me , that way I ignore the other 99 pains/ailments that I'm suffering ? I often wonder nowadays which pain will stop me riding eventually.

not to be compared with Yen's stone passing episode, far from it, but I discovered yesterday during a visit to a neurologist who took too much pleasure in using an electric cattleprod on me, that I have carpal tunnel syndrome in both wrists and the beginnings of "tennis elbow" or tendinitis in the right elbow. My Father in law used to say " I wasn't sick 'till I went to the doctors..." I think I might just give up asking what's wrong, ignorance is, after all, allegedly bliss.

Fair play Bucky, you have a head-start of course. Personally I wouldn't be going anywhere near that this year, it's going to be rammed

Yeah I understand you have to do what is ask, just sad.

Must be lots of gods countries in the UK because if you listen to the Yorkshire people then it’s gods country, maybe why they have moved over here where I live.??

Well I stuck for words for once, I never expected Bruce to leave, we will miss him for sure, great poster on here, that’s 2 nice people gone now just hope they both come back.??

The bluebells are out............

You're all away with the f AIR ies

He is the thing being pulled.

With that skin colour you either need a wash or to see the doctor, you Dago looking Welsh twat.??

Pete loves that Chinese shit.

He could cross the riogrande into texas, only speak "kitchen spanish", he;d have a great gig in no time. Just dont act white, dance a little wear cool sunglasses, chit like that. ?

Nothing wrong with Americans, won’t suit Pete very well he’ll have to move back to Blighty.????

Getting a headlight for LooseNuts to make her nighttime legal, hopefully today, i;ll put her in the running when i get some pics.. ?

This thread is full of hot air ?

I only buy local stuff Pete, its so much more eco conscious

Did you put French or British air in? You shouldn't mix air!

Yep........a mate’s fancy dress birthday party a few years back. ?????

Yeah I like the yams the yellow and blue one are both mine, the daughter is borrowing the blue one after selling her Triumph 765, I’ve had the the yellow one since 2005, the MT10 is our mates bike.?
