I was plastered in it.....boots, jeans, and jacket. Got home and called the wife to look and she said "What have you done my husband?" So I took my jeans off in the street and was down to my underpants as people were coming out of the church.

The last day! Had to be the last day because the land ended!!

MEDIC! MEDIC! I bet you saw your life flash before your eyes. I was expecting some ripe swearing in that vid though

A photo you never thought you'd see!

Basically with the ABS on you wont stop on a slippery surface off road as the ABS system will take the control of the brakes off you. A locked wheel will eventually slow you down and stop due to friction. With ABS on, your wheels will keep on turning so on a slippery surface down hill you will start picking up speed rather than slowing down, ABS needs some sort of grip to work properly. Have you tried ABS down hill in snow its bloody scary you cant turn it off in my car i know from experience i would be better off without it in the snow. All of this is about slow speeds and trying to stop rather than stopping you locking things up at higher speeds in an emergency

Not happy about it cos it caused this! How did it happen? A fucking swamp turned up from nowhere! So I had to quickly deploy my Namby Pamby motorcycling skills to avoid what was potentially imminent Death and Dismemberment! But I survived......and the bike has now been restored to it's usual condition!

naaah, the French only worry about the rain if its getting in the pastis and watering it down...

I had the same problem @boboneleg I saved the link in my favourites and it didn’t work and there was no working redirect but I discovered the emails in the junk folder so found the name that way Then my password which is saved in the keychain wasn’t recognised so I had to request a password reset (that also went into junk) and was about to conclude the universe thought I was better off out of it when it finally fell into place

Order is restored!

Has she arranged trauma counselling for you.. and the church people?

Gonna break the ninet out of hibernation today and take it for a spin. Not ridden it since last autumn so have got myself excited, the benefits of a shrunken lockdown world ay! A cursory glance over it last night makes me think the its going to look pretty bad in the sunlight cos its not been washed since... urr.. Depending on the temperature my hand may come out of its glove and take a pic

Not exactly the stuff that dreams are made of.....but at my age I gotta take what I can get! I didn't expect to get caught out.....but shit happens. In this case it happened all over me and the bike. If you want to see my pitiful attempts to get through the shit then go HERE! But if you want to see me looking slightly less inept then read on!

Decided to go to the vale of Glamorgan for a run this afternoon not far from me and just to check out some lanes i haven't ridden in years First lane i wanted to check out was just off a place called Bynsadler nice easy lane starts by crossing the M4 And then followed by a nice easy dirt track Next is in Bonvilston a grass track soft in places, easy enough today but can be quite slippery when wet This one is in the same area there's big money down this way you can tell when your driveway looks like this

By going so slow you made it worse, how long have you been riding ?? Momentum is your friend

Yes!!

If I didn't work for myself I'd be pulling a sickie this week!

That just about sums up this place

User error!

Christ, your heart must have been hammering like a goodun.

I'm going to attempt another bbq this evening. Friday's one ended with me stood in the garden with a rain jacket on cursing the weather! Probably gave our neighbours a good laugh and confirmed their view that les Anglais are all mad!

Going along a trail.....and ran into about 50 yards of it. Took it through one step at a time cos it was pretty deep in parts.

I wonder what 'look that guy has ginger pubes' is in Spanish

Quick trip down to Santa Fe with the wife, might even manage to get a beer or two in tonight.

Couldn't find my way in, couldn't remember what it was called now. I had to email Pete and he started asking me for my IP address, as if I know that !! Yes ! I am a numpty

How many fonts can tYm utilise in this thread. Cool stuff Pete.

Some have the bbq in a covered area, but most we've seen are just in the corner of the garden or on the patio. And some have a complete kitchen in their garden!

I bet the mess your arse left after riding through it was worse

Gimpy cunt.

It's about 20C here at the moment, with a bit of cloud cover. But it doesn't look too threatening at the moment!

Ah a bit of mud paddling, yes not the most fun way to ride! In all seriousness though I dont think Id be very happy on those tyres in mud. Glad mud was the only type of plastering that occurred!

On the bright side if you went in to deep you could use the top box as a life boat, bet it could be rated for 5 Bruces at least.

I think all the regulars are here......unless you can think of anybody. Namecheap have sorted the redirect now.

How did Mudgate come about?

You old people need to get with the fucking program!

I gave you a link to click on to tell you! This is a TOTY play......mark my words. Even @Swagman could find the place......and he's as thick as shit!

If I'm on a steep downhill section of trail (especially if it's a loose surface) I turn it off. You want the back wheel to slide to a certain extent and ABS will stop you controlling that.

Operator error, that'll take you a week to clean that now

You guys have to stop to take a pic? pffft! Y;all get the "look"!

Yup! Seems i got the most attention driving the John Doe Deere around, the chicks seem to love ride on lawnmowers for some reason.

It's not really my type of music Dave......but that song pretty much crosses all the boundaries. It's just timeless! Mark Hollis was a genius and he just walked away from the music business. Sadly died two years ago!

Planning to get out for an hour today......temps are supposed to be 20C. Can't actually go anywhere though!

My new favorite parking spot...lol
