Well i'm home and unscathed but the apprentice was rather worse for wear so one of the lads took him home in a taxi and is now £100 out of pocket because the apprentice spewed everywhere and he had to clean it up and was charged for it he's not at all happy And just before my daughter picked me up i watched a skank fight there were about half a dozen girls involved very entertaining

"Driving" I said! It was firkin cold out, despite the bright sunshine, only 4 or 5 deg c so I dug out the bar muffs which I bought for the Mille Vaches winter rally 2 years ago and fitted them to the bike thinking @boboneleg is gonna love this, for once I leave the top box behind, but fit these monstrosities instead lovely toasty warm hands though, even when the temp dropped with the declining sun around 3:30pm. Just a quick jaunt into the western reaches of the Morvan to give Tigrou a run and test the muffs. They might look odd but they're verry effective, coupled with heated grips and winter gloves. I reckon I can ride right down into stupid cold now Took the back roads up to Corbigny, and the main road west of the river back. about 150km in all. The Muffs Chitry Les Mines ( pronounced "shitty latrines" )

No and the thought sends a shiver down my spine i'd rather look up a scabby Scotsman's kilt, although there were two very attractive young girls involved but they were wearing jeans so i put the camera away

I think this thread could do with a new title how about something like The Annoying Other Forum Thread!

I wouldn’t want to bet my life on you not getting it.

@XTreme you’re in a compromised state of health, take some paracetamol and don’t engage with the wildlife

I am nominated you twat …. deliberate attempt to steal the crown … twat or senile or both

5c and misty drizzle while feeding the horses at 9AM! Livin' The Dream!

Welsh culture lives on then?

She and her partner (KatieM) were in the hotel room next to me and Clive. When Clive went out on the balcony he noticed knickers hanging on a makeshift washing line on her balcony. I told him to go back out and see if there was a 'bulge' in the front of her knickers

ooh they are, they're at their best when they've been frozen overnight and are about half thawed

just be you and @XTreme in it..... your like a couple of old women

What too funny for TOTY, much more of a MOTY.

Something ain't right, that's for sure @XTreme........if it was a shop it would be holding a closing down sale by now.

If you don’t try and sort your twatishness out I’m fucked your twatishness is natural that’s what’s worrying me

You getting edgy that you might not get the title?

No you wasn’t, this is the TOTY thread you twat , stop making excuses for you twatishness …. twat

How about @MooN hes a twat for telling me not to get a two way radio, lives in france ffs, you have to be a twat to want to live in Cheeseville EUuuuuuuu.

The struggle is real here.

On the bright side Spains chronic water shortages and the impending doom of rising temperatures and creeping desertification had a sprinkling of the good stuff while everyone snoozed

Yeah, the hyperactive stress response is a really typical symptom of long-term or complex post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Basically you get so sensitised to danger that your monkey brain - amygdala, hypothalamus - kicks into overdrive at the slightly provocation, even if your analytical, conscious part of your brain (pre-frontal cortex etc) knows that you are actually safe, or that the threat is not that bad, or that you are not in fact about to be eaten by a lion. If that makes sense? It's a bit of a pain to live with, can be pretty exhausting, but at least all that extra adrenalin and cortisol usually makes me more useful in an emergency rather than the other way around!

They want to put a stick up a cunt?

Ha, where did I get to... there's been some excitement, some good some bad. I took a 600km detour to go meet a friend of a friend, which was awesome, we had beers and pizza and talked for hours. Turns out he runs a podcast called Inspirational Living, which is basically just the wisdom of centuries of thinkers - on how to live a good life - condensed into 20 minute chunks for our easy delectation. The conversation was definitely worth riding 600km for, even if it took me into the flatlands. As usual my tiny week-long jaunt turned into a rather more lengthy roadtrip; you know, I get distracted and before I know it, it's day 11 and my friends in Chiang Mai are all wondering if I'm ever coming back. Anyway sobering story now, while riding back up one of my favourite mountain ranges - it puts you on top of the world, or so it feels - I came across a very bad accident and spent some time assisting to scrape old mate off the road. Poor fella, his legs are toast. But I think he'll be mostly okay. I mentioned in the video how everyone says never to stop at the scene of an accident in Thailand, and how the other foreign motorcyclists just went past, and signaled for me to do the same. The reasoning behind this is that people say never to stop at the scene of an accident because, as a foreigner, you will immediately be blamed and sued/extorted for money, even the accident wasn't your fault and had nothing to do with you. So everyone says you should just keep going and leave people bleeding on the road. Well, my conscience won't let me and I also choose not to take such a jaundiced view of the world, which is probably naive and may get me in trouble sometime; but you have to live by your convictions.

I'm on holiday till 3rd january now. problem is, the animals, sorry, children are too. Anyone want a Christmas present? they're covid free...

The Moderna booster when combined with the double protects from or at least reduces the symptoms to mild.

Naaah, I agree with the German minister who said that by the end of next year everybody will either have had it, been vaccinated or be dead.

I was walking in the opposite direction so you could say i passed him

Be the first thing a Harley's ever passed then?

Beat me to it

You're the last person to lecture on thread titles Fred!

Replace those pillows with fists and boots and that scene is about right

Ren has more teeth than half of them and he's prettier to

He does more motorcycle riding than I do though!

Not getting it should be Sixes middle name.

Loads of chink shite, your Loncin was right at home in that company.

I'm taking about both titles! You could make one post and win TOTY.......and make 10000 posts and not win MOTY. So postcount is irrelevant.

It's not the number of posts......it's the quality of posts. For example, you've got 2.6K+ posts and you're not nominated! So what does that tell you?

And it's been pissing down overnight!

Very traumatic incident Grace.......but you did the right thing!

That does it, ive decided to buld up my 325e as an adventure car, hard bags an all.

Hope to get out on Sunday, got my winter linings in my gear, and see if the heated grips are any good. Forecast is 6c and cloudy.

I have a camera, what more do these cunts want?

Nominations so far: Six30 Buckster Tym Slowlycatchymonkey XTreme Any more names......cos we've sure as hell got more twats than this!

We are no longer allowed to travel to the UK other then for urgent and essential reasons ( death in the family, visit to a terminally ill family member who's life is in imminent danger etc) which must be justified by all means possible. In France, the "pass sanitaire" allowing entrance to public places, restaurants, bars, cinema's etc becomes, from tonight I believe A "pass vaccinale" which means that you can no longer get away with have a lateral flow (antigenique) test les then 48 hrs old to enter, you now need to have been vaccinated.

they have simply banned people from outside the EU. You wanted out, you got out. "leave means leave" now fuck off .

I just saw on the news that the bloke in the Govt who has been tasked with investigating the parties that never happened actually attended one of them? The person Boris Johnson appointed to investigate the Tories' illegal lockdown-busting Christmas parties, Simon Case, hosted an illegal Christmas party himself in Dec 2020. What's more, the digital invite sent for Case's party was literally titled "Christmas Party".

you sure that's the 650 and not the 600, it just looks a bit slim for the 650 and I can't make out from this angle if it's a shaftie or just the rear bake drum we can see from this angle... I had a 650 as my first big bike and first french bike too, did all over the place on it, france, italy, switzerland, alps etc etc much of it " up with wifey on the back. Mine was an 86 model I think, ( though I'm sure it didn't have double piston fron brakes, but it dis have a disck on the rear) bought it with 60,000km on the clock, wound it up to 120,000km, ran it on ciesel engine oil, split and rewelded the frame, had the rear shock strip it's lower mountig threads out of the shaft drive housing and limped home with it hammered bsack in with a bit of self amalgamating tape round it... happy days. Sold it on, and about 2 years later spotted it parked outside a bar in town, repainted and with only 80,000km's on the clock...

Stayed up for DAYS!
