I started today with a longer morning hike, as it wasn't too hot and the clouds were looking rather lovely. Bagheera's new battery has arrived and I have bent the shifter back into place, one more time....lol. I even painted it orange to match his bash plate. I figured I bend it one more time before replacing, but I do have a back up waiting. Then I hope to go for a ride tomorrow to see if there are any other gremlins in Bagheera. I also plan to start on my 4Runner, first off, taking the unused third row seats out. Then I get to build something cool for the back to carry camping stuff! Here is the view from my morning walk. Have a great weekend everyone!

Im riding to were clothing is optional. Never devalue destination over journey Confucius say.

we were SOOOOOO lucky with our childminder, 100metres from the pharmacie where Madame MooN works and i still remember that when Madame was helicoptered of the roof of Auxerre hospital to Dijon menacing seriously premature birth of twins (14yrs ago) I rang her to see if she could pick up No.1 daughter from school ( No.1 being 5 at the time) she told me to go home, pick up a bag of clothes for No.1 and drop them off with her on my way to dijon...No.1 stayed with her for 3 days and nights, to and from school and everything, bloody brilliant and she then took on the twins when they were 3.

working from my front garden today, there's a nice cool breeze blowing and I'm happily enjoying it

This is even lazier than Pedro's picture report This is some video of our ride on Tuesday if you care to watch, Its a bit long but shows the type of terrain we ride oh and the music or noise as i call it stops after about 2 mins not my video BTW. I make an appearance about 9:40

After a boring day of riding, we landed at the Antlers Inn for our final night on the road of the trip. Headed home tomorrow. Nice place....

As I understand the law, as much as you can smoke yourself. Only selling selling, distribution or trading is illegal. I am growing mint instead

Had to put my fleece on this morning........lovely Hope the back improves @Swagman

Playing chicken with a small airplane, felt closer than this

My mate xxx, a fellow council worker, had the hots for a particular girl and in a drunken moment invited her to come with him to the bike show run by the Hells' Angels at some drag race place in the midlands, can't remember what it was called. Sir Fallsalot will know, I'm sure he has been. Now xxx had a habit of misunderstanding females when they said yes to his invitations and this had caused a few problems at various events, including a drunk Irish girlfriend of his trying to attack another girl at 2am as she slept in her tent and him breaking up with said girlfriend by text as she flew home because he was too scared to do it in person after she went for him with a whisky bottle in a pub. But that's a whole other story. Anyway, he's got the hots for some girl, he has got drunk one night down the village pub and invited her to this HA show, she has said what a good idea, he has bought the tickets. He is plumping up the seat of his GSXR1100 and zipping two sleeping bags together ready for a weekend of passion. Then it turns out that what she actually meant was she would be going with her boyfriend he didn't know about and her friend was also coming and could xxx give her a lift on his bike and put her up in his tent. Xxx is a bit of a shallow person and his exact words to me were that he didn't like to stare but he had never seen such an odd looking girl as the friend he was supposed to take. A healthy strapping girl with a large, even huge head of red frizzy hair was roughly how he described her (no offence Pete). Basically, there was no way he was taking her, but on the other hand he still harboured hopes of success with the girl he did like so was in a panic about how to get out of it and still keep on her good side. In a moment of inspiration he asked me to go to this rally on the back of his bike and share his tent so he could tell the flame haired maiden that he could not take her after all as it was my lifelong dream to go. I said no way in hell was I doing either, I had suffered both of those fates before!! Now he was/is notoriously tight, he has been known to glue on a set of heated grips given to him by a fellow rider for the Elephant Rally in Germany (pay me when you get back they thought he'd agreed to) and he carefully removed them and handed them back to the original owner after getting home. So imagine my shock when he asked if it was the cost stopping me, because he would happily give me his spare ticket for free. I said no again. He kept asking me every time he saw me, this went on for weeks. Then I found out that Chuck Berry was playing at this rally. I remember being very tempted to go, the chance to see one of the original rock and rollers, I mean, he couldn't have many years left could he? But then I thought long and hard and decided it would be funnier to wind xxx up about spending the weekend with the ginger siren. Come the weekend of doom and I couldn't resist ringing him up on his mobile on Friday night. I may have made some comments about checking his sleeping bag for red curly hairs when he got back, but no, my fun was ruined. His actual words were, "Very funny, well as it happens, I have had a bit of luck. Her friend has been in a serious car accident and couldn't go after all." He is a charmer isn't he. So I switched to my second line of piss taking, asking how he was getting on with his quest for romance with the girl he did fancy and did her huge boyfriend put any sort of damper on that. Turns out they had both decided not to go after all, he was there on his own (relatively speaking). Oh yeah, Chuck Berry was ill and didn't play I hear, so I wouldn't have seen him anyway!

So I chose the burger for this evenings meal and that’s exactly what I got. no relish, no salad, no chips

working this weekend, as per usual this time of year, even though it's frighteningly quiet ( boss man refused to let me buy a pot of paint this afternoon!) might possibly get a ride in on sunday if the storms forcast don't appear. Hot and muggy at the moment.

A couple of Phil's panoramic views...

Little argan tree is doing great, and enjoying the current heat

Just came up as a memory on Facebook so I thought I’d share it here. Too good an opportunity to miss……….

Friday night spent at the beach, let a dad sit his 2 year old boy on the KLR, of course the kid is hooked now, and currently is being sent home to mom to deal with...lol

Just seen that they changed the village name to ‘Fugging’ last November. Boring twats.

Only when ya piss them off....

they'll let 'em in Pete ( need the money) it the UK that wont let them back home ( unless they quarantine for 2 weeks, even if double vaccinated) so they aren't coming. Those that had booked for august and sept are now cancelling. Oil mostly here I think. they don't harvest them til they're almost rotting in the fields.

Looks like a great place to get run over by a moose!

Looks great Michelle!

Paging the Van Man @Six30 to Aisle 4.

I was going for the bird shipping sound as background, but they all went quiet as the phone blipped when starting to film.

Bit cooler here today, then they are forecasting unsettled weather after that, I’ve not took the bike out for a while still have the pain in my back.

Hard to stay awake while riding, so we took lots of breaks...

There isn't shit in Wyoming...

Left our fancy digs in Buffalo, Wyoming and headed south today across Wyoming....

Nice ride coming down the hill...

After the gorge, we railed a few more twisties and headed for Cody....

Our ride leader cleared the way for us through the bushes and caught his nose on a bramble he had some leakage

Nice doggie.....

I’ve spent for a while , if you got no centre stand , lubing chain and cleaning it’s ideal , from memory it was about a score I think ..

Still hot here......not sure about tomorrow, but Sunday should be OK if I can get out early. It's always the same.....mid June to mid September is a difficult period here. You can't make plans! What about you lot?

3 and a bit hours, 200 odd km. hot and sunny. rode south for a while, then west foe a bit then north east for a time and ended up back at home.

What fucking brain you cloth head.

So, on a hospital, you get crackers, cheese, butter, bread and a burger? Shot of vodka too?

You got cheese and crackers as well your just being greedy

And we’re back with Yen’s stories

Austria if my memory serves me correctly.

Not sure yet

Gt Yarmouth/Gorleston is now a brit hot spot. I might try and drink my way through it.

That's nice. That means it's already in Portugal too.

No I’ll give it a try, you could then say I’m trying tonight.

However, you deserve it after that workout.

Gay.

Seems to be 2 people who wanted @Six30 to get the Mod gig! We know one is @Tym......so it looks like Six is so desperate he voted for himself!

Nice ride on a Sunday morning

Nice photos Chris, I'm missing seeing the sunflowers
