Come on, show me your two stroke road bikes. Does anyone still have one?? I just dropped $180 on an NSR150RR. It needs some TLC (read, total restoration) but it's going to be a cracker. Can I hit 180kph with $180? A question which remains to be answered. Anyway if you know anything about NSRs please say hi, I'm going to need to crowd source plenty of advice on this restoration journey...

Riding the Broomway Byway. Frankly this video filled me with terror. I've ridden on Foulness island which connects at one end and you wouldn't get me anywhere near the sea parts of the byway. Worth watching the whole thing as they get a bit stuck near the end. These bloke are very brave/silly. For the foreigners and non locals, the Broomway is a vehicular right of way that runs in the sea (some people think it is of Roman origin). It used to be marked by vertical stakes or brooms. It also used to be the only way onto Foulness island until the British Army built a bridge. Lots of people died walking home from the pub either getting stuck, lost or caught by the tide. Foulness is now an artillery testing ground, they fire out to sea, so apart from the danger of getting stuck in the sands, there could be unexploded munitions out there. I saw a large amount of dredged bombs, missiles, shells, rockety type things where the track joins Foulness, they were all chained to stop them getting washed out again. I was told that a few Bedford lorries have been lost over the years there before the bridge got finished. People live on Foulness to farm it, but to get on there as Joe Public we had to make an appointment and bring ID and passports to get past the army and civilian guards. The people in the video are entering the track from the open end.

They are bringing out a new James Bond film to silence the woke brigade..... Bond starts out as a male and by the end of the film transgenders into a women they are calling it ..... Cocktopussy

Oh for fuck sake!.......your using words I don't understand..........give me a minute gonna look em up on Google

Perusing old travel photos today

Ya, nothing says USA like a bumbling idiot as a leader... Biden should get a fucking oscar for his performance.

A bit wet for riding my KLR, a bit dry for freediving...

Nice one @yen_powell I can remember the TRF used to ride that back in the day, much easier to follow nowadays with GPS. I know all about the ordnance out there as I used to deliver a lot of it to Shoeburyness. Feck doing it on that XT600 though, that's a heavy bike for that sort of thing. I've ridden a seashore byway like that at Askham in Cumbria . https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4386880

Was thinking this was more like it.

Sounds like fuckmines MO

Yes, they're very common in Morocco as military vehicles. They were patrolling around a gas or fuel pipeline station or something like that, some parts of Morocco are always a little more alert to terrorist attacks and their own internal struggles.

But what colour is the hair of these evil doers? That's the real question.

Well @Slowlycatchymonkey according to @XTreme you are untrustworthy will try and fleece every Brit that you will come into contact with and will be selling tat at car boot sales …

Found it, best joke I think I ever heard as a child.

My misses said that once.

Been away over the weekend. I was he other six voter, great pic and I really like that bike.

more like ..Bond ....Basildon Bond

a rose , but with no rose , so he'd just be the thorn.

Looking at the maps I screen shot, they seem a lot further out than that shows the path to be. Those squares on the map are 1000 metres wide so they should be about 300m from the shore. At times I can't even see the shoreline and that is from the bikers head height isn't it. That's the 100 yard dash at school three times, not that far.

Got any vids? I put a 12 volt coil on my motorized two stroke bicycle, parked outside the irsh pub in town, smoked them up right...lol

I dont know what everyones on about I went to the brit supermarket today and met this lovely man outside, he’s giving me a ring later to discuss some of the marvellous investment opportunities he alone has inside info on, you cant not trust a man with pets

I miss the bigger versions, in the 1970's i had a 500cc Suzuki Titan, nice and comfortable you could ride her all day!

Smokers!?

Knee deep in covid. Land borders still closed, Laos and Cambo still closed. Thailand "opened" to visitors by air as of today. I still can't get to my KTM so I'm playing with two strokes in the meantime...

Doing great, just riding motorbikes and hiding from covid in the Thai jungle. Not dead yet. Cheers mate

It is if we have to read your constant shite.

Yes mate and it makes me embarrassed to be British. However, what I would say is that not all Brits are like this and there are some very nice Brits around, many of which do charity work for locals. It’s just a shame that it’s easy to be tarred with the same brush. We moved out here six years ago and have made many good friends from when we lived in a mainly British urbanisation but since then we’ve learned the ropes and feel more confident in dealing with bureaucracy and systems in place to do many things. It helps that we understand a reasonable amount of Spanish. It takes time and for some people the comfort of familiarity is more important than anything else. I don’t look down my nose at people who choose this familiarity no more than I look up to those that are confident enough to live in a small Spanish village. I take people as I find them and as long as they are polite, decent people then I don’t care what nationality they are; I always give people the benefit of the doubt until they shit on me and then it’s gloves off and no second chances. A cunt is cunt in any language.

I had a great idea, i could propel my SEAC sea mate with a steerable delta wing kite, $33.49 on AmaZon..going to be a long winter for U's guys.....

you dont know the difference .... this is why you have small feet , so you can stand closer to the sink .... kitchen , get back in it.

Me and Dipper saying good bye to Pete.

Aaw sweety have you stopped taking the tablets again?

.......we left Britain! It seems longer than that really because so much has happened during those years. The two kids have left the country (Scott in 2013 and Steve in 2016), and the three dogs that came with us have long gone! We rescued four dogs here and are now down to one! We also rescued Dylan (the donkey) in 2006 and we lost him two years ago. I brought an XT660 and an XT350 with me...... ......the 660 went 2 months later and the 350 18 months later! So there's been a lot of changes over the 16 year period. But one thing hasn't changed, and that's the fact that we've never regretted it! We said when we left that we'd never set foot in Britain again......and we haven't! Spain isn't perfect, and it ain't for everybody......but it'll do for us!

Shit I thought a narcissist was a flower.....learn something new every day.

It was a very chilly morning, our first bit of frost as well. Had to bring a blanket for the old girl today, she didn't seem to mind though....

Good advice for Tym.

Bozo arrives at the G20 to give Macron a straightener about the fish quotas!

They should lock the fecker in a room with some heavyweight girls

Hes got a nice chain now and Guillermo (I think that’s pronounced William?) at the RE dealership in Granada is a really f’in nice guy, a good connection to have. Said if there is anything at all he can help us with just get in touch. TBH him and the pick up truck driver were so kind it really did turn Mr Slowlys crappy day... well that n the hot food and large whisky waiting for him

Your 200km trip for a cup o tea tends to contradict that statement
