How do you manage to find the creepiest GIFs Bob???? This is twice today you have damaged my innocence..... But, to be fair..... I guess that is what I get when I hang around old creepy dudes......

I have new ankle weights to play with, will i sink, or wont i, that is the question.

The weather looks like it will be rainy and cool this weekend, but that's just the way it will be for months now, so no sense in stopping the normal proceedings. Going out for a ride on the Himi this morning and hopefully the Honda tomorrow or Sunday. Working on some other fun projects as well, and maybe even whipping up a batch of cookies!

55F / 13C (for the @Buckster ) and sunny. Good enough for me. But if we ride up in elevation, it'll be a lot cooler. Will have to stick to the valleys as much as possible.

Gonna be sunny tomorrow - am going to attempt to get out for a spin. Can't wait...

No joy. With its case its heavy and probably hit the low unseen level. If you want a brighter note a Spanish couple knocked on the door and asked me if Id lost anything (I think thats what they said, they spoke as much english as I speak spanish!) I got excited until they proudly produced a bus ticket from that morning’s disaster run (disappointed doesn't cover it!) but they were just checking out who we were before producing Mr Slowlys passport n paperwork. They found it on the side of the road. Nice of them ay! Shame it was cancelled n useless to us but hey, nice folk

Cleared everything I had to do today.....so the weekend appears to be clear!

Well there's welding and there's the thing i do, I was happy with this weld current was a bit high but couldn't be arsed to do a test weld first and no grinding after, bonus

Cheapskate, you've got to be worth a cow at least.................

I just bought a book from France so I shall be spending my time reading it ................... well , when I say 'reading ' I probably mean 'looking at the pictures '

It can be warmer and dryer working on it......instead of riding in a stream or peat bog. Think I will bring the scoot into the spare room.....can do my cleaning and oil and plug change while sat next to a radiator.

People fucking other peoples wives is a worldwide phenomenon old as time Often used as a bargaining chip. Andrew tried to sell me to another farmer once for a bag of potatoes. He declined, said he was only prepared to run to carrots

just shows what a sheltered life the twats lived... pressing wild flowers , stroking small puppy dogs and train spotting.

Its to cold here my nipples froze.

Why you got gardening to do again.

This afternoon I'll take my bike for a service. It's got 81000km, time for spark plugs, air filter, all fluids plus taking the valve covers off and check valve clearance and overall wear on the camshafts. Being this engine's most known weak spot my dude is going to have a proper look around, I will take pictures and think the bike is falling apart while he tells me everything is ok, that's our routine Will also fit a borrowed center stand while mine goes to be stripped and painted. If everything is normal, tomorrow I'll pack up and go for a ride, taking some small and pretty roads all the way home, again turning what could be a 2,5 hour commute on a motorway into a day's ride, might make it home instead of sleeping away this time. It's really cold but nice clear skies, hopefully it'll be a nice day's riding without too much weekend traffic or too many bikes out.

If we don't here from you ever again we will know they are too heavy

I'm bored counting the hours before i get out on the bike tomorrow

Yer I went big and thought at least a good sheepdog but he declined so me n Mr Slowly got married, alls well that ends well

its a splinter group from my river widening club , we rescue injured or dead badgers , we make hats and stuff from the dead ones and drag the injured ones round the streets in a parade ... mince pies and beer afterwards.

I had lots of wear on the brake pedal shaft and the hole in the frame. Decided to do something about today. Drilled the hole in the frame slightly larger and turned up a new shaft quite enjoyed doing it and pleased with the result Old one looking poorly New one all shiny pity you wont see it when fitted Then went out for another test ride rear brake travel much improved and i decided i'm so glad i stumped up the cash to fix the dog i forgot how much i enjoy it nothing like a big single thumping away between your legs

I remember when some newbie on a Honda forum was ripping into me for having a KTM, he went on and on about how KTM parts were soooooooooooo expensive , blah, blah , blah I asked him what bike he had, he replied that he had an Africa Twin and that it was the best bike ever. I said to him , you're right mate, great bike.......... until you have to buy parts for it. He kept on calling me a liar about the cost of the parts , KTM parts are twice as expensive as Honda blah, blah , blah until another forum member pointed out that I worked for a main dealer and that selling Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Piaggio , Triumph and KTM parts was my job

was she from Wales then ??

Exactly @Pedro, and @XTremecalls me thick.

left the car running on the driveway to warm it up, then the doorbell rang...

I tell you what isn't! Around 2007/8 there were a couple here in their early 40's from up north. They were iffy as fuck......and he was a cowboy builder. Anyway, he got caught stealing building materials from a Spaniard's year.......and the owner was going to call the Guardia. The guy made him an offer that if he didn't call the Guardia he'd let him fuck his wife!

I just type Welsh ginger dago and all those come up

I can only really speak for the part of France I live in. France is a big place and the locals, along with their Brit immigrants, differ vastly from one area to another. This part of france has it's fair share of Brit immigrants, but most of them work, rather than retiring here. Very locally the brits work on the hotel boats on the canals or in the tourist industry. on a wider scale the brits in Burgundy tend to work in the wine industry or tourism. as I understand it the Brits on the south coast are more in line with those who emigrate to the costas, wanting to retire to guaranteed sunshine though maybe not as dodgy as Pete describes in Spain, @Tango ? The Lot and Dordogne regions are allegedly heaving with brit expats ( the Dordogne has been since the middle ages and the last crusades) but I believe mostly retirees again. You then have the mountains and the ski resorts which are full of your younger brit seasonal workers during the ski season, but as dopeheaded and mindless as most of them are, they don't have the scammer reputation. I think the spanish costas attract a certain type of Brit. A hangover from the days of el cheapo package holidays, freddie laker flights and an allegedly easily corruptible police force. All of which will attract a certain type of person. The now ageing brtit expat population will again attract a certain type of brit scammer, or bring out the scammer in a certain type of person... vicious circle. As the ageing Brit expats status and income is fragelised by Brexit or whatever, they will become more suscetble to the scammers, which in turn will attract more scammers... etc...ect

I’m surprised incontinence pants haven’t featured on this thread more heavily for you bunch of coffin dodging cunts.

Right who was it that didn't believe me when i said the weather was going to be good on Thursday

Had a run out on the dog today got the MOT and so far the thing is going ok. Usual route back from the MOT station you can see Penrhys on the right in the distance

Bet she was an ugly bitch.

Just looked it up, they're from Pandora

Yep, got shit to do in the garden it can wait, it will still be there next week. Hope to get out somewhere on Sunday.

Yeah but my parents weren’t.

See this is what i get i told you all last week i had Thursday and Friday off work this week its just in one ear and out the other isn't it

With a topbox?

I can see the pyrenees from my village, Rob. I'm planning on heading across to explore.

Neck tubes, or Buffs. I never ride without one now and have a small collection of my favourites. Swapped to the autumn/spring one today as it's pretty cold in the mornings at the moment.

It is shit! I’m 52 and two years ago I didn’t take a single medication, now I take 7! High BP, Cholesterol, Arteriosclerosis and recently found out I have a hiatus hernia just to add to the mix. I’ll be lucky to make it to 55 at this rate

Just trying to help.

Top box................just sayin'.
