Drove my little brother to the airport just now. Fucking brits everywhere!

You went over a bridge?

Finding lost souls was a specialty of mine when i worked for the Air Force. They were easy, most ended up in kentucky drunk on moonshine. Get them back before their 30 days were up and i got paid yo.

I don't have any pictures of the bikes on their own this month. So here is one with me and Bagheera!

A Ride & Hike Around Big Tree Recreation Site Big Tree Recreation Site is located in Halfmoon Bay on the beautiful Sunshine Coast of British Columbia. A scattered grove of old growth Douglas Fir among second growth forest, ferns, mosses and mushrooms. Big Tree Park is believed to have the largest existing tree on the Sunshine Coast.

A few months ago I bought a book in Costco cos I liked the pictures. It's called WILD GUIDE (London and South East). It is basically a book of good places to visit, i.e. lakes/rivers to swim in, old ruins, caves, ancient trees, places to watch sunsets, places to eat, places to camp etc. The pictures are amazing and this one covers Suffolk, Essex, Kent, Sussex and London. I fancied a picnic today as it was supposed to be nice weather so I picked out an abandoned church and grave yard somewhere near Ashford in Kent and plotted out the narrowest windiest roads to get there after getting across the Thames. My mate and his other half, the poor man who bought my 103,000 miler Versys, decided to come with me. I think my mate was regretting it when some of the lanes were so narrow his left boot was in the grass at the side of the road and the centre of the road was deep gravel or grass where no one uses them. On the way there we stopped for a drink at the Ringlestone pub which we all used to visit in the 80 and 90s (in the 70s for my mate who's almost a pensioner) when we would camp in a nearby farm and walk across the fields each lunchtime. I mentioned to the new landlady that it used to be owned by a mad woman who kept the front door locked and you had to knock to get in. If she didn't like the look of you she told you to sod off. If you didn't sod off she would pull out a shot gun and point it at you. She laughed and said there was still a shot gun there when they took over the pub and they had put it on the wall above the fireplace. I had a pint of shandy, followed by a wee just before we left. I had to stop on a tiny lane and rush behind a hedge again within 5 minutes of leaving for another waz. My mates were shitting themselves whilst they waited for me as a large dog was going berserk the other side of a farm gate and it looked like it was going to jump over to get at them. We found the church and had a picnic sitting on a handy flat stone with writing all over it. Someone's name and some dates I think....... Then on the way home we stopped at the other pub we used to visit at night when camping on the farm, the Blacksmiths Arms in Wormshill. The original landlord, Barclay is long gone, but the new landlord knew of him. As we were about to leave a strange woman came up to me waving a bit of greenery at me. I had earplugs in so I'm not totally sure, but I think she was asking my opinion on whether it was wild lettuce. Looked like a nettle to me!

Let’s get real, you can fit all the mudguard you want and ride nowhere else except an F1 track, you would still wash your bike.

Thanks Pete. For someone who does not have many people in their "world", I appreciate knowing someone cares, even just a little bit. OK?.... well......maybe we need some beers and a campfire to go into this one......

They were indeed, or still are. However, didn't see many resemblance to the Duke of Wellington in those red faced guys in front of the airport wearing football t-shirts.

Forgot thsi one. @Pedro mighjt like it. Stopped at a hole in the wall place for dinner last night. Debbie and Todd ordered some of their finest wine. It was severed in a full pint beer glass. Stay classy, Nevada!

Run off from a leaking tap?

Good stuff but you should end on a cliff hanger, next time I suggest you get grabbed off the bike by a grizzly bear and carried off into the woods leaving us all wondering what the next episode will bring.

The dog was feeling a bit rough so after a few internal organ replacements it was ready to ride cover your eyes if your squeamish this is open heart surgery. The day started with the rebuild After a little work she lives A few hours later and i'm on the road but thinking i better not stray too far after the rebuild so up to my local byway . It was pointed out to me the shadow looks like a reindeer lol And then onto my mountain After a check for oil leaks it was onto check out a lane that was illegally closed but overturned by the TRF Then some of my favorite tarmac to sennybridge for fuel This is the end of the roman road out of Trecastle only took the photo because it doubled up as a piss stop Then onto the Crychan forest which has been graded and has made it easy enough to drive your car through now Then it was the ride home trying to keep it under 55. past the Llwyn Onn reservoir it was like a mirror these are photos of it up the right way and upside down you tell me which is which On the A470 i had to suffer the humiliation of a scooter rider burning me off because i was bedding things in the fucking wanker had the cheek to wave to me Bike ran beautifully restored my love for it again

Because it is on his face.

we said "taking a nap" not doing bloody Yoga!

The poppies in my garden are very lovely this year.

The problem is your lower front fender doesnt do squat to protect the bike.

Checked the bike and...... So I had to wash it yet again! I'm getting caught every fucking week now!

Value for money right there!

Some of them did look worse for wear, but I suppose two straight days of drinking silly and being chased around by the cops must be quite the workout. Tell you what, though, they did live up to expectations

In 1808 thaty was a good thing, or you would be French now...LOL!

545 miles later and we're in the oh so swanky Hawthorne Inn. Looks like 1970 in here with the orange walls and old furniture, but we were lucky to get a room. Place is sold out as there's not a lot else within 100 miles....

This went on for 500 miles today. Boring as shit but still kinda cool to be out here all alone....

I''d like to say we rode some cool curves amongst the lush greenery in the area, but this is the desert and we didn't. Just 100 mph straights all day....

Why wouldnt i its lovely, i'll just tell Marie you are picking on me again, enjoy!

That’s not at all creepy.

Wonderful vid and i love your voice @Grasshopper's Ride!

.The Boss makes songs about chit loke this!~~~~~and down to the river and into the river Pete rode!~~~~~~~~

I rode through a raging torrent!

What Tym said!

Thats great pic of you @Grasshopper's Ride!

Thanks for asking Bob, I appreciate it. @Tym managed to find me and the space aliens agreed to let me go once they had some of his lemon cake.

Thanks for searching Tym, you're a sweetheart! Honestly, I appreciate it.

Someone get on facefart and tell the Grasshopper to get her arse in gear

I can’t contribute to this other that this photo of a guy and his Vespa who annoyed me the other day.

First part of Nevada looks kinda like the Badlands of South Dakota in miniature....

Todd wasn't impressed with Utah and vented his displeasure on their state sign...

Today we're out of Utah and into Nevada and the heat continues

No There isnt, jeans were red lable AMERICAN levis or nothing. I still fit in my American! red lables and they are worn perfect, last blue jeans i';ll ever buy and i've moved on to duck cloth from carhartt.

You might want to consider a Vespa.

Yeah, Wranglers have never been as good as Levi's

Yes me too she posted on Facebook yesterday so still about. @Grasshopper's Rideare you there come in over

What Tym said!

Im releasing the search hounds as we type. She cant get far, the planet is round, repeat, the planet, is round.

I was wondering the same thing......have you seen her on Facebook @Tym?

Where's Michelle, haven't seen a post from her for a while ?

Llwyn Onn reservoir was like a mirror tonight when i passed
