Hold on we;ll ask him. gurgle gurgle was hisresponse, my advice, dont fuck with Texas.

I am so excited. I finally got it - the holy grail! Also known as a multientry business visa for Thailand. Which means that I can finally make a dollar or two without getting deported! After two years of lean times, this is unspeakably exciting. Omg. So if you'd like any kind of motorcycling tour of this magnificent part of the world - on road, off road, hard enduro, whatever you like - I can make it happen. I have the most wonderful local friends and colleagues, including some of the best trials and enduro riders in northern Thailand, so quality and local connections are on point. I am so excited.

Its like getting a second christmass, a leather glad smoker, grrrrrrrrr....

Update: The bike is going to be a GT550. I will be wearing leather.

Yeah they're not famous for their fuel efficiency. But damn I love the smell of two stroke in the morning...

Went for a little ride with @Sofia today, to check out the biggest fortification on the Lines of Torres, which is quite close to her home. It was a pretty awesome winter day today, the weather was perfect and we took no pictures of the ride itself because we were running out of day light, but it's a little gem of an area with rolling green hills that doesn't seem to belong to center Portugal but still within the great Lisbon area. I realize this report has too many pictures of embankments and of myself, but bare with it, I'm not one for spending too much time looking at historic things and this really peaked my interest, more so as I didn't really know what to expect nor where we were going at first. The Forte Grande (Big Fort) or Forte do Alqueirão was the biggest fort in the Lines of Torres used by the Portuguese / British army to hold back the French, led by General Wellington. They built two lines of fortifications along the hills from Torres Vedras to Vila Franca de Xira, this is the most important if not only by being the biggest. (I think, look it up if you're interested, I know very little History) There's a couple of kms of sort of loose gravel with a couple of ruts climbing from the road to the fort, so Sofia left the Speed Triple and it's Supercorsa tires down below and rode up with me. Here I am annoyed on a work call, she made herself entertained exploring my different moods through the whole event We rode up next to the old stone road, probably built along with the fort, I was happy to have nice smooth dirt and not those bumpy big rocks, me examining the old road on foot and not really caring much for it: Wouldn't want to ride up this, as always the rocks look bigger in reality than they do in Pictures, bringing supplies on horse carts up this must have been a chore. Give me the right smooth road anytime: Parked right by an embankment There is a geodesic mark inside the fort, and on top of that they built a cool viewpoint from which you get reference point to all the other forts as well as a great view. And then a walk around checking out the defense structures and ruins: Cannon embrasures, and how they look now: To me, the most impressive thing about the Lines of Torres, is how quick they could transmit a message over a long distance: I got a kick out of the drawings, they really made it easy to imagine how the ruins looked back when in use, so I tried to take a picture of some of the ruins from the same angle as the drawing was made, like the below one of a Powder Magazine: Or this one: And my favorite one, the "Governor's House", which was a small house used as an office, with a division for supposedly storing maps and charts, and a room for meetings. I made a point of standing in Wellington´s meeting room, nobody showed up Afternoon was getting on, and we rode back before the sun started to go down, stopping on the way to buy dog medicines by the vet pharmacy. Good little ride, it was today!

that he love you long time...

Somebody rammed you up the ass Yen?

That's probably the bloke who knocked me off on one of the corners by riding straight into my back wheel a few laps later. Apart from eating a load of grit and mud from the speedway track as I slid along on my chest and face, the little finger on my left hand now has a bend in it, I think I broke it, it certainly hurt enough for a few weeks. A marshall had to get my seat back from the middle of the track.

The word sperm just leapt out of the page at me..........................which is a bit worrying! https://spitalfieldslife.com/2022/01/17/the-metropolitan-machinists-company/

The Beta bum boys dirty day out went well today, cool weather to stop us burning up on the trails and plenty of mud to slop about in I hate slippery logs especially when the ground around them offers no grip seen too many of these today Waiting for a pull its a little stuck My mate testing the water And my turn, look at the shit video from my mates phone the tight git wont replace it Photo of the bike with strategically placed gloves for next months BOTM Just listen to my bike purr on the trail, got to say now the suspension is sorted i'm loving it

Eating Yen's shit?

they're built in thailand Pete...

I like the multifacetedness of "carry on Motorcycling" but I also think that non brits won't get it.

So an Islamic nutjob from Blackburn goes to Texas to kick it off in a synagogue? Couldn't he find one closer to home?

How do you get sperm leaping out at you from a page of Victorian bicycle accessories Yen?

Old gay money to you peasant.

Nice to hear, you seem to really be getting along with it. I have to say, there’s nothing green in that mud, more like brown laning!

It’s just now that people get snobby about motorcycles, not long ago you would be lucky to ride anything bigger than a 50cc two stroke.

You’re a fucking hero Dave , I didn’t get past 10

No offence Grace but I wouldn't want any on them , 20-25 mpg is not my bag nowadays . You're much younger than me though so crack on

RD250 i used to have one and not bad to work on being a twin

You'd be better off with Linda Gray

Oh yes.....at the well known Andalucian Pits!

I’m surprised you bother with a pellet burner, as a Taffy I thought you’d be more likely to go down the local pit and dig out some coal.

Seeing as I ride a Royal Enfield Himalayan and a 1998 carb’d CBR600F3 I think that’s all I need say about that.

My mind is working overtime on the potential of this idea! www.carryonbiking.com

Back in the times when borders were things you could cross, I did a border run to Myanmar, which was fantastic road trip involving the delights of pleased nobody but myself, a dead body (not so great), and being able to swim from one country to the other (for someone who grew up in Australia, a million miles from anywhere, this is a radical notion). Here is the looooooong version: https://bikehedonia.wordpress.com/2022/01/03/before-times/ And here is the short version:

Outrageous

As you know, I loves a toilet story so thought I'd plop a youtube vide here. The toilet assassination is bit scary, I shall be carrying out a full inspection before sitting down from now n.
