Mine

For some reason that reminded me of a bike rally i went to back in the late 80s the Yorkshire pudding rally i think it was. Me and a mate were sat by our tents after setting up camp swilling beer when a guy on a Harley came in, the first thing he done was chain it to a small tree even before he had unpacked to set up camp and while setting up camp he wouldn't stop looking at it like he was scared to let it out of his site or something so in the early hours me and my mate pissed as farts and giggling like a couple of school kids cut the tree down with a crap folding saw and stole the tree. The guys face was priceless when he got up in the morning

Another foggy morning today. So fun to photograph, I love the soft colours.

I would try, but my photographic capabilities are around zero. But they are not as bad as my aunt's photos, she visited her sister in America (1975) and took dozens of photos, all the time with the lens cap in place.

Turns out i never took a still pic of riding the KLR this month, just vids, so im going to have to go with a screen grab smoking a toyota on our local connector/ ring seating up hill slog to the highway jan 12th.

He'll get there in the end .......................... stands by for a photo of a merman planting a flag on a rock

Its not that you dont know anything. Its just everying you know is wrong.

An old trail rider from Hertfordshire said these wise words to me. He who looks at the scenery whilst trail riding becomes the scenery.

Air time!

So far kawasaki, honda, yamaha and suzuki. Think I too need to up my game

When you end up with a BMW, no need to go further. Was in my dealership last weekend and was surprised when they said i have had 15 of them since 2004! That's a sickness.

If it looks like shit smells like shit and tastes like shit then it probably is shit

3 makes only in 34 years... 3 Hondas, 2 Yamahas & 1 Triumph. what did I win?

Sure why not, $9,500 for the weekend and thast doesnt include sunday brunch, i have to go to church.

What would happen if I hired two private investigators to follow each other ?

Reminds me of Borris.

You have age on your side, plenty of time to try others But maybe your knackered knees will stop you, I can see you ending up on a scooter. ,

I might see if I can get a ride on Saturday as I only have one photo so far

I'm the same, I cry in museums! I walked around the Vietnamese war museum in Dien Bien Phu with tears running down my face. The memorial in Kanchanaburi is a large, quiet field, leaving one with the privacy of one's thoughts (and sniffles). I also went to Hellfire Pass, one of the more renowned (read: awful to excavate) cuttings on the death railway. Kanchanaburi is the second hottest place in Thailand and I was ready to expire just walking along the railbed. It's so hot that we drove halfway across Thailand with a dirt bike and back again, without riding said dirtbike, because my friend wilted in the face of the sheer heat and said it was too hot for riding. This is the middle of winter. So can you imagine. I certainly spent some time imagining. It's incredible what people do to each other, and it's incredible what people survive.

I didn't mind the album but because everyone else was playing it I very soon good bored of it. I didn't think his voice was that good either, I'm talking live here. Still, didn't wish the fellow dead.

Yes but he even speaks the local occitan language now so he's well intergrated. He also has French citizenship as well now.

Right next door to this place!

What a shame that you haven't got the whole bike, I'd love to try and restore one of those, love the 'sloper' engines

Absolutely, where my mate lives in the Lot there are heaps of houses (doer-uppers) out in the sticks. My mate is a builder but it's taken him over 10 years just to build up a rapport with the suppliers and if you aren't prepared to learn French you'll get shafted .

Form follows function, thats because the Dumpster serves a useful purpose.

Bucksters going to love using that excuse.

It's a beautiful thought for sure!

Riding over Beachy Head, hand in hand.

There's a lot of cheap places over here, but the cost of doing them up is pretty steep. A lot of Brits look at them as investments, but often get their fingers burnt, as house prices don't rise the same as in the UK. Our place is 30 ish years old and when we bought it we got a summary of how much it cost new and how much it's changed hands for since then. We paid pretty much what it cost new 30 years ago!

I actually just parked up for a pee break, but the sky caught my eye so thought I'd take a pic (obviously not of me taking a pee!).

A mate of mine bought a house in Bulgaria on eBay (true story) , he paid £15,000 for it and spent about another £5,000 doing it up. He keeps a XR250 there for riding around , you can litterally ride where you like in Bulgaria.

Its even worse than that hes from mountain ash and probably the cheapness of the place attracted him I just looked him up on Facebook and he looks like he's doing well still into bikes and in some club, pretty much the same as what he was when i bothered with him. He's 10 years older than me so should be 64 now. He introduced the naïve young 17 year old i was back then to bike rally's and clubs which i feel really enriched my life so i do thank him for that by the way he is an anti vaxer

Me and a friend bought it back in the 80's from some big bike auto jumble thing in Bristol as a long term fixer upper, i had the engine to rebuild and he had everything else but neither of us had any cash to spend on it i'd moved in with my missus and we lost touch with each other and it was all forgotten about until my father said what you doing with that engine in the shed. When i went to get back in touch with my mate he didn't live at his old address anymore the bugger had sold up and moved to Bulgaria It should have looked like this in the vid but all that's left is the engine. which now i think of it i haven't seen for over 30 years i'll have to see if the old man still has it kicking around up there

It always amazes me that a manufacturer like Ducati that have made so many beautful motorcycles could also make such an ugly piece of shit like that !! Having said that , we just sold a black one for a good customer of ours. I think the buyer was Mr S. Wonder

I bought a bread maker about two years or so ago, and after trying various types of bread now stick to baking a white loaf using French bread recipe. Brilliant for toast! Not so keen on the stuff with bird seed in it.
