So my brother is 15 years younger than me, been riding motorcycles for 1 year. Came out to CO to ride and rented a triumph, I took him out and was following while giving him instructions through our headsets. He improved dramatically and was like, the real time feedback while I was riding really helped. We got a photo snapped which I thought was pretty cool, obviously I'm behind him in this one. Maybe I was following a little too close but meh...(and for those who are like, too close to the yellow line you could see 500 yards past this and no cars coming)

A friend from work was having eyesight problems, had to keep getting his prescription changed. This actually turned out to be a benign tumour pressing on his optic nerve. Weirdly two people from the same office had this at different times. Anyway, the cure is an operation where they go in up the nose and cut it away. My mate said he was very pleased he had such a big hooter because otherwise it is open up the head time. When people went to visit him afterwards he had a badly mis-shaped nose and two giant black eyes. After getting lots of sympathy (and grapes) he said that he had actually woken up unmarked. His wounds were actually from when he stood up out of bed to urinate into a bowl (behind the curtains I should add), felt woozy, fainted and fell face first onto his bedside cabinet. On the plus side, his eyesight returned to its usual state straight away. Unfortunately he had to buy new glasses again as he had thrown the old ones away at some point, not realising it was a tumour and not old age affecting him.

Forgot to add. There is an additional story behind this. He was having problems checking up too quickly entering a corner, not maintaining a line and such, throttle control not smooth...understandable. I told him to park his bike and get his big ass on the back of the GS. I then rode with him 2 up for a bit to let him feel what smooth cornering is, while the damn tail of the bike was almost dragging it was good and he learned alot.

Good vid we shot recently, who knew ADV motorcycles on 50/50 tires could get after it...

Jimmy Saville interfered with my hamster and stole all the petrol whilst spreading Covid. There, that should get picked up by google nicely.

I had no idea....I posted this and had a comment about huge fines and such in Europe. Guess I'm just a shitbag American. This was an early morning where I had to meet @Earache to work a bicycle race.

Nice run today out on the scoot, only 140 miles but all A and B roads, single track too no dual carriageways or motorways so it was 4 hour solid riding, Google maps reckoned 4hr 40min Was great roads over to Borth just north of Aberystwyth to pick up a new camera to replace the one I killed by leaving on my scooter seat DOH!, I came back a grand lighter Over Betws Mountain, into Ammanford via the A483 to Llandeilo, Tally road to Edwinsford then Lampeter, Llanrhystud, Aberystwyth and Borth Same route back except Llandeilo to Ammanford I went via Trap for much tighter single track Damn I need to adjust the suspension, it's rock solid and the road are shite, banking into turns is seriously worrying with the scoot bobbling around even though it's a scoot it weight 210kg Anyway, too much fun to stop for pics so bollocks, maybe next time PS what is it with "White Van men" and scooters, they all seem to want to race, maybe it's cos they cant stay with motorbikes they think a scooter is an easy target NOT, dumbasses

I'm going to murder some kittens.

Tonight’s action … can feel a shit coming on already ….

Probably out with the wife for a meal or something tomorrow. Sunday i'm planning some exploring on the X Trainer down Kidwelly, been there before but rode there and back on the bike which meant i had a 15 hour day so this time there will be some van action first

It's not easy trying to get Google to take this site seriously and give us a bit of exposure! And it's virtually impossible when you've got a thread going on with some twat driving his bike round inside a van! And another thread where fucking morons are talking about Trumpton!

@Tym has drifted to Newquay…

I envy that, I used to love driving cars with my brother on the road, on track we never did as being the big brother I would be either worried and baby sitting him, or letting our competitive nature get out of hand. Probably never going to ride bikes with him, though, the only time I let him borrow my Transalp it ended against a car

Brands Hatch Sunday BMCRC club bike championships ... nephews got some free tickets ... his boss is racing out there.

Practiced my saluting, i leaned how in the cub scouts Pete always said have hands on your hips for a good pic, must be true! Found some cool led lights that should work underwater, do you see were im going with this? Stay tuned.

We had various hospital appointments today and then food shopping, so no bike action today. Possibly out on the eBikes tomorrow but Sunday is looking a bit soggy here, so we may end up hibernating! Hopefully back out on the bike next week though.

Not to mention the place was started by a ginger.

My first read, damn dyslexia again

Well, i was about top start a weekend thread and you just fucked that plan right up posting first. Low tide is @ 1300 my favorie perch is out of water.

I think the bigger question is being ignored here. Have carpenters ever worn what looks like a square paper hat (Chippy Minton)?

That should fool the police at least until the maggots get to work.

In no particular order KLR650 Ducati 1098S ST1300 Ducati 748 RC51 CBR600RR R1 Ninja 600

100%. But I'll take being a gay GS rider over a...wait. WTF am I even saying

Time is flying........we're getting nearer to Xmas which brings TOTY and MOTY! Though I'd say TOTY is a one horse race this year! Anyway......what about this weekend? Possibility of rain later on Sunday for me, and tomorrow I've got to go back and see the client I visited last weekend! So I will be out on the bike......but where and when I have no idea! What you doing?

After ginger complaining about my dented fork cover I pick these bad boys up on fleabay. New old stock.

Remind me to never ask you for a cup of tea.

me to ...check this out @XTreme

So he has a rock bottom and ginger pubes nasty.

CB500X wouldn't be a bad choice for easy hard packed dirtroads, also saving you a lot of money on another bike. I would just use your own bike at first when testing the waters. On the dry most tires will be ok, I find my tires to be really good for any pace I ride on road and adequate for dry compacted gravel or dirt, TKC70.

In Portugal you can ride with them on all you want but only with no oncoming traffic, with oncoming traffic or other vehicles 100m in front of you, you are obliged to switch to the medium brightness ones. It makes sense to me, I don't like being blinded either.

You got picked up by the Fuzz?

Useless!!! let me tell you, if you’ve been entered in the three-legged race and you get me as your partner it’s win, win

Hehehe they obviously liked it judging from how long they let it play! Ragtime music on mogadon?

Glide riders

Your in fine company then, a bigger bunch of useless fuckers would be hard to find.

Is your wife a man? I ask because Slowly is a bird.

That looks a good light you have on there. My 3 TDM900s were appalling at night so rarely rode them at night Traded in 2012 for an S10 and what a difference, enjoyed night riding them, if warm enough.

If you get it for that price it's the steal of the century

You got a camera in my house ya twat.

@Tango's drinking story reminded me of this Many years ago me and the guy who is my boss now were working away from home and had been out on the pop all night as usual. this night i was a bit pissed off because he was chatting some girl up and i was left on my own bored, so i left him to it and went to bed. When he came down for breakfast in the morning he had two black eyes and a nasty gash across the bridge of his nose. I thought the girls boyfriend had turned up and given him a dig, It turned out he had got up for a piss in the night tripped over his suitcase and face planted the chimney breast in the room, funny thing is we were sharing a room and i didn't hear a thing

Such gorgeous place. Really loved Scotland every time I went there, with the only exception the visit to the Sheriff in Dumfries...

Me and a couple of mates used to go down the pub on Friday evenings after we'd played squash and neck a few beers before closing. One of my mates missed squash one Friday but turned up down the pub with this kind of plastic mask thing on his face. He looked like he was starring in the Phantom of the Opera. We asked him what it was all about, so he said that he'd broken his nose and fractured a cheek bone! So we asked how? Anyway, the previous Friday, after we'd had a few down the pub after squash, he got up during the night for a pee. Being a bit unsteady on his feet he decided to sit down to pee. However, he fell asleep sat on the bog and then fell off and smacked his head on the corner of the bath as he went down! We tried not to laugh..........

Van action

Found a proper weird pub , like being in a time warp …

Losers get the walk of shame.
