Well I don't have too many photos from this month. I ride Charlotte (my Honda CB500F) several times a week, but never stop to take photos. Bagheera (my Himalayan) was in need of repairs for a lot of the month. Which made me think to enter this photo, considering there was a bike in a van before...

Then I thought this photo of Bagheera, just before I knew he was dead. The natural light is so awesome. He looks so peaceful, not dead...lol

FFS can you two just get a room? I can see you from here, I just cant make out which one of you is pulling the other ones pigtails.

Had a read up, there seems to be quite some progression ride wise between the hypermotard iterations. If Six is buying the one I spied it looks like a corker and the write up makes it sound like a right royal blast. Looking forward to hearing about what its like. Assuming it gets out of the back of the van.

But in the end I decided on this one, while I was waiting for my rescue. The thin trees on the blue sky backdrop just adds to the sadness......

I thought i had more photos but i haven't, i'll have to use this one of the XR having a rest or it might have been waiting for me to have a rest

I heard that Six asked for a test run on it! The dealer agreed, so he pushed it out of the showroom and straight into the van......then rolled it back into the showroom again. Salesman asked him what he thought and Six said "Fucking great......handles like a dream".

I did, about 300 km today, travelling to my parent’s house for a few days here, stopped for a business lunch halfway, then some work from a roadside cafe And now in the waiting room after having had my second vaccine. A productive day.

phones, credit cards, number plates, loyalty cards in shops, security cameras, GPS, any internet connection or login... and so on and so forth. They're actually far more interested in being seen to be anti establishment ( no matter the cause) than in any actual real problems or debates that they would be clearly too moronic to make any useful contribution to. Like all morons, they make a huge amount of noise about a non event, basing their "arguments" on hearsay and wild surmises in order to cover up their otherwise complete lack of comprehension of any scientific or factually based subject. They are therby desperately trying to make up for they're otherwise evident lack of usefulness to society.

A good rider could embarrass a sports bike on one, not sure why six wants one though

What exactly is the point in the GPS on the handlebars anyway? It is not like he can see it from the drivers seat.

His Suzuki has nearly 4 miles on the clock now from going in and out of the van for pictures.

"Cowboy Bistro" - nuthin' gayer than that.

I like the way he has total faith in that there's a way out at the end and wont need to go back up it i cant think of any other reason he would keep going forward

Fuck it, you only live once , pick it up next week , bring on the V Twin y yes there's room in the van and fuck off Buckster its not as gay as yours

That you are my fine trolly friend.

@XTreme seems pretty confident dont he .....

I know he is obsessed with me, he is even getting a v-twin to try to be more like me.

and that folks is how Europeans see the UK public

I'll try to find some more fucked up ones today.

Wonder if that includes a free claw hammer and a good alibi ?

When did you turn in to a toothless dago pete? Thought you were Welsh

I did not vote for Brexit......as I was on holiday in Majorca at the time.

People knew what they were voting for Chris!

He is a ginger moron, not just “some kind”.

I know your tounge is firmly in your cheek there Pete but Brexit is also to blame. The foreign drivers don't want to come here anymore to work as it's too much hassle for them. And if you ask the average 21 year old Brit to be a lorry driver he/she'll will just look at you like you're some kind of a moron.

@Sir Fallsalot wanted me to ask you if you got a bit moist that day?

winner

Bijeezus that had me wincing and ducking! I saw the water and thought well thats that then. The lunatic is undeterred and crosses next to the drop. As he set off on that part (and I held my breath) I was thinking begin by riding upstream slightly or start crossing a bit higher up if you can but no the nutter goes for it. Kudos… and a tiny bit of concern for his welfare.

Fun. It'll turn you into a bloody hooligan.

Because of Covid as I understand it! The virus targets HGV drivers apparently.

Some old, semi-abandoned buildings for @XTreme , my last pics of the day....

We did 375 miles today and I wasn't really feeling it for picture taking. Sorry. Must try harder. Top of Cottonwood Pass....

Pee stop in the woods.....

Up at 12,000' and most of the smoke is below in the valleys

Lots of smoke in the air from forest fires in other States, got a good shot of Georgetown though...

Can't go anywhere without The Man trying to keep ya down...

There can be only one.

A 200 mile round trip to Ironbridge yesterday. Amazing roads, amazing weather, amazing bikes, amazing company. If i die today it will be in contentment.

Should be easy to get in and out of the van then.

Yes, I brought my Schuberth helmet in just so they knew I am one of them

Brace yourself for Motorcycling Tourettes then!
