Yen's first and last attempt at playground design.

He thinks hes funny but i will pick his bike to ride home....watch his little face drop then

EPIIIIC trip today. St Micheals Mount, Penzance, Newlyn, Lands end, St Ives, Hale and back. Splattering of rain over Bodmin but wow what an epic day. Feeling blessed and bloody knackered

Picked up my bike from oldgrump today. I was terrified of riding it over this massive windy, rainy hill and had visions of going round the block and back to his house with it. How wrong was i. It was an absolute dream come true and i cant thank him enough. What a legend. Not often you will ever see 2 of these together these days.

I can remember when we did a rally in the Spanish Pyrenees, they put us in a really posh hotel and after a day on the trails we walked in soaked to the skin and covered in crap. They didn't bat an eyelid in the hotel, lovely people and made our stay so nice even though we were scared to touch anything This is the hotel............. https://riberies.cat/galeria-fotos

When i first sat on it with both feet up on the pegs was yesterday !!! I thought im never going to manage it. Once i got going though i felt at home. Wouldnt want to do more than 100 miles on it though. I thought my left shoulder was going to drop off

I had a go of one of those bloody hell they are small i had to lift my leg onto the footrest with my hand it was so cramped for me and i'm not that tall

Just a local potter tomorrow on the 400. No rain forecast so far. Lazy day for us. We leave for home Monday morning. Its been an epic trip.

Yeh I had a ride there, being as the weather was not too bad, CMC was packed...... It was like getting through a football crowd in the store, I gave up,. And the queue for the cafe was long, so I left and had a steady ride home.

Got the KLR out cause it was so nice. Went to the beaches...lol...for extra credit spot the part from my 1990 sportster, Buck should be good at this game.

Did you see the end of the Abu Dhabi desert challenge?? (not actual dakar, my bad) No fuel stops in the final stage and the leaders started running out of fuel. Walkner ran out 25km short of the finish, Daniel Sanders pushed the bike through sand for the last two kilometres. Can you imagine the frustration.

It's the Abu Dhabi race

Oh I mean the latest race in the championship, not Dakar race itself. Sorry it's only 6am here, need more coffee

I took this pic in a posh hotel loo a couple of years ago cos even the whites of my eyes were muddy, I couldn’t open my eyes very well I had to leave a decent tip in the room for the poor staff that were going to have to deal with the mountain of mud that fell of this stuff It had some sort of crystal/mineral in it that glinted in sunlight, Im still finding bits of it now, I can confirm it doesn’t very taste nice, not eating mud is the right move.

Looking out towards Lorca from Campo Lopez. The Himalayan takes me to some very nice places………..looking forward to the 650 version in 2024

Day on the XR tomorrow probably out on the Beta Sunday, After my mate having a go of mine last Sunday he's trading his CRF in tomorrow for one, which is good because after he hit a tree with mine i want to try that with his

My Fz6 is from CMC but the one in Wales.

Well I've now cleared all the work I had to do......after putting in 14 hours today! So tomorrow I will be out!

Granby Motorcycles in Ilkeston were the biggest grey importers around here, my VFR was from them, it was a French import, speedo in kms, headlight dipped the wrong way. CMC started in a poxy little shop in Stavely, but always been a UK bike seller. https://yamaha.cmcbikes.com/pages/history/about-cmc.htm

Weren't they big unofficial importers back in the 90's?

I did buy a scoot from them years ago, must admit they were very helpful in the purchase. Not much competition for them around here.

From their posts on FB, it seems they are doing reasonable trade, saying they have 30/40 new (pre owned)bikes in stock. But that could be them fiddling the figures as they have several shops.

You want to think about a trip to Spain next year......now that would be something different!

Is more rain forecast?

The trailer takes 3 bikes. And if they wont fit apparently i have to ride one home

Flounced.....Seems a bit like it, or they are out on the piss.........lucky buggers!.

Perfect bike for a bit of green laning. I don’t know that much about them myself but peeps that have owned them rate them

Why's it had a new battery and rectifier at only 6 thou, new chain n sprockets. Clocks off and ragged off road I'd guess, but I am a suspecting basted.

had a quick look , can only see one the same , done half the miles up for £3700 and a year older..... i need a bigger garage

On paper they are better than the CRF but more expensive to buy not heard any bad reports about them if its been looked after will be a good bike. Not sure of the second hand value as i only look at bike prices when I'm buying

That looks pretty decent......not sure on prices there but that would sell here around €3K no bother.

correct, cannot brain sorry. I'm talking about the abu dhabi race that just finished

Windy as Hell here and although sunny, it's pretty freakin' cold out (19F / -8C). So I'll probably stay off the bike this weekend

This might be funny, i hear the Chinese porn industry is located in the province of Wanking. I;ve already got my coat btw..

Im sure thats her, one classy broad!

We kept a short notice list for people who could get to the hospital within an hour. If you can do that it’d be worth mentioning because most people are no shows or cancel appointments at the very last minute on the day Makes it very difficult to use the appt for someone else. The short notice patients are like gold dust - no wasting of resources and operation dates etc.

Im all for people getting their jollies in whatever form makes them happy (excluding deviancy that hurts other people… unless the other person likes getting hurt… hmm free fall rambling occurring.. my batteries must be flat… Im going for a nap… after a post or two..) but cos my house is in a field the buggers get bored and decide they’d like to have a little snoop into my house. Doesnt happen often but it is an mahoosive invasion of privacy and Id like to destroy them a bit.. a lot.. serve the nosey buggers right doncha fink?

Totally love this bike. I have to say i prefer it with the standard screen but if im on the mway i struggled with it. The big screen does spoil the look of it but i can actually stay on over 60mph

It sounds idyllic! Plus you have nice neighbours as well. That makes a difference!

Out with some mates a few years ago
