I thought we had already gone into one.

I was looking for a new gauge for my air line when i came across the last line on this. looks like women are still having trouble pumping their tyres up i think ill get product A

You skidded on somebody's pants? Was the guy wearing them at the time?

What you don't know Pete, is that accident was caused by someone's pants

No need to look @boboneleg i have that to hand

It’s a complicated topic. Hormonal changes (menopause) are thought only a small part of it but hormones in general are a big part from birth. Men’s bones are bigger, testosterone encourages bone growth so men’s skeletons become larger during puberty. Men are genetically predisposed to gaining bone density when they do physical tasks like lifting a weight, women not so much. Women will lose minerals during pregnancy as the parasitic nature of baking a baby means the goods have to come from somewhere (hence pregnant women can often have trouble with their teeth). There’s also at the very basic the idea that women’s frames are smaller, the bones are finer to start with so simply have less to lose before it effect the bones n joints. I believe (but don’t quote me on this) women are 4 times more likely to suffer from arthritis.

Put his bike on my van it’s a transit not a low loader.

Home again. Went with 2 came back with 3 and thankfully they all fit on the trailer !!!!

No Alan.....that guy is capable of reading.

Well having said in another thread that drones are useless for spying as the cameras are ultra wide angle and even people fairly close are unrecognisable Well, not if it's me building one LOL, back in 2015 I decided to play around with some tech (as I do) and put a 10 x zoom camera onto a purpose built (by me) multirotor (drone) so if I could get stable video without too much shake I also tried a 30 x zoom camera but it was too shaky when zoomed in

last time i saw him he was in the isle of man being pushed around in his wheel chair and that was several years ago and even then he didn't look very well

Now I'm no expert but zooming in on a bowling green is only going to get you shots of several soup-spillers

Here's everything i got for the 2014 dragon rally warts and all take what you like, not very good quality i'm afraid as i had uploaded them all to photo bucket which made them low quality

Only once Terry......early in 2006 on Big Bird. I got totally lost up there......could hardly speak any Spanish and I didn't know where the fuck I was. No mobile coverage either. These were taken up there.....somewhere! I remember having to turn back round and retrace my steps to find my way back. I'd probably gone about 45 minutes north of Cazorla before I turned round.

I'm going to meet an old mate of yours from Carediff next week here in Spain.......Mark Walsh. Turns out he's a friend of Jane.....the Cardiff girl I did the site for! I spoke to him on the phone and he said he knew you from Pool! When he told me he used to have a bike but doesn't now......I said "Bottle gone then? Typical Carediff!"

Did you watch it , best bit of tv I’ve seen for ages , nearly brought a tear to my eye .

Here's an idea1 Get the Gay Harley on a Recovery Truck when it breaks down next and get it dropped off at @Six30's place. He sticks it in his van, and then gets the van put on a car transporter headed for Spain. Then fly over and you can sit in the van with Six and drive the bikes round Spain! Sorted!

Yes, the checkpoint is on the mountain road between Mae Hong Son and Chiang Mai Provinces, and although checkpoints proliferate all through the provinces, this is the only one where I always see the army actively manning it and searching people, apart from at the ones near national borders. (Most checkpoints here are nothing more than a traffic hazard... presumably the soldiers are all out the back make tiktoks.) Primarily they're looking for drugs and other contraband. They just wave you through if you're on a big bike and clearly just out riding (except for when the province is totally closed, which happened last year during the first covid lockdown). They will question people in vehicles, most get waved through but the people who tend to get stopped are the hiluxes loaded with cabbages or hill tribe people on beat up scooters. Mostly they're chill but I have seen a few people taken away to the toilet block to be strip searched, which is kind of chilling when you see three male soldiers taking one scared woman into the bathroom... Moments like that, I'm so conscious of my privilege as a white skinned foreigner who - because I am riding a big bike - is assumed to be relatively rich (and thus possibly important). I might get blamed for a motor vehicle accident I didn't cause, or I might get pulled over by the traffic police hoping to make some tea money by finding I have international licence, but I am extremely unlikely to randomly strip searched in a toilet block on top of a mountain.

No its not mid winter now we get lots of good weather as in the photos below 2009 2012 2014 @boboneleg DR 2016 2017 the Friday before the dragon 2018 great ride up that year the sun was shining Sometimes there was shit weather and we got a little rain although i must admit i missed the ride home in that left the day before

There's millions of the feckin things, the thieves have no end of choices

We rode through some trails before we got on this road, somehow some dudes pants got wrapped around my rear wheel , when I braked in the corner they got dragged into the rear brake caliper and locked the back wheel

Bloody hell. Thought that was Fred with hair for a minute.

Mawsley

Brilliant Fred, It's all coming back to me now. Especially the fact that we spent all day drinking in that club

Will have to download, away the weekend and forgot it was on.

He shouldn't have let @Mawsley ride it!

Do you what Fred, I've looked all day and I can't find any photos from that trip . I know that I had a big computer crash later on that year so I reckon I've lost them. If you've got the photos from that trip I'd really appreciate copies

No.....never watched Brit TV since we been here! Rarely watched it in Britain either.

I’m not a top gear fan, all the fake matey ladishness puts me off but that is a genuinely good tribute. Well worth watching. Although you might want some tissues cos there was definitely someone chopping onions nearby when I watched it It’s series 31 episode 1 and it starts at 30mins 35 seconds if you want to skip past the rest of the ecky thump banter.

I'll have to see if it gets posted up on YouTube! How's he doing now?

Nice photo's Fred, I knew you'd have some good stuff. I'll have to find the one where I ended up sideways in the fence

Gay.

The brits along with most 1st world countries LOVE German cars. As for the plates I’d be amazed if the great British unwashed recognise one EU plate from another (if its not British it’s simply “foreign”

German made.....fine! German plates....you take your chances.

I just threw those dates out so nobody would suggest July and August Ray. They'd all end up in Casualty with heatstroke if they came then. @Six30 thinks he can hide away in aircon environments......but as you know, that's just not possible!

Had a good day out with my mate on his new Beta we were like fucking twins We were back in the forest playing around, really had a good workout this bike makes this shit so much easier to ride even though the pair of us spent some time on the ground a few times today His and hers LOL Weather was great and so were the views what a place to live Old bald fucker The bike has 2 hours on it i think he's worn the newness off

Another 100 mile clocked up on the pocket rocket. How much fun? All of it i think last day so we thought we would just nip out locally. Err no !!! one minute bashing down the mway, next minute we were green laneing epic last day.

Apart from the ruin riding the bike

In my garden now

A few from the garden this morning No edits or crops, all straight out of camera

I live in my own home ass hole bought and paid for.

I have two you bozzo.

Aw thank you so much, I'm so pleased you're enjoying the writing! This makes me really, really happy! Cheers to that librarian streak. I do love the English language. Thank you also, sincerely, for asking straight questions about $$$. I appreciate straight questions, on top of the fact that I appreciate your kind words and supportiveness. I do actually have a patreon account, I just don't promote it much because it's not where I tend to post content (so I wonder if I'm providing subscription value behind the paywall, you know? Would hate to disappoint anyone on that front.) (...And maybe I also just feel awkward about talking about money... I should get over that.) But you make a good point about the subscription structure being super convenient, and my patreon does exist! It's www.patreon.com/bikehedonia . Thanks again for asking the question.

Thats what Took me out.
