the hardest thing about being a BMW owner is tolerating the lack of performance and driving skills of the lower classes.....

Any ride home must include Pacific Coast Highway Eye candy at the Rock Store

It’s probably a Gordon really if it’s the Phillipines

Well, if that is what it will take, then I'm not going anywhere anytime soon......

750s ATs raced as well.

Wiggle the splined shaft as well to make sure the twin bearing the front sprocket shaft sits on has no lateral movement. In and out is okay though..........(ooer)

I'll probably end up getting banned myself now!

You got your new bike then, Pete?

Bringing up the rear?

Reported.

we are saying the same thing here in Kalifornia! he bought a place in Vermont and is looking to making it a motorcycle destination - yurts, camping, rides, etc.

Great pics and tell him ConnecticuT is actually getting better the more poeple leave...lol..if i can convince everyone to get the hell out i might start liking this place....

If you have to ask you’ll never understand why Seriously mate, it’s a classic and harks back to the original Paris Dakar days (yes. I know the original Africa Twin was a 650). Theres a certain feel good factor that older bikes give………until they break down of course!

Thanks mate, I’m more than happy to give anything a wiggle before I pay for it.

Tyms a male slag, who'd have though.

Another story of every day people coping with extraordinary circumstances and just getting on with it. https://spitalfieldslife.com/2022/02/09/lorna-brunstein-of-black-lion-yard/

You can't leave me to face all these women who are obsessed with you!

I’m not trying to tell you how to suck eggs Ray but make sure you check that front sprocket hasn’t been welded on. The splines wear on the output shaft .

Right! And even worse than seeing the bikes drown in rivers is what you see people do to them afterwards...i.e. try to ride them without even changing milky oil. WTF... I will never understand

None of your business which way im turning peasant!

does it matter?

In the US, there is a group, Backcountry Discovery Routes, that has been creating offroad routes on a state by state basis. The latest is the Wyoming BDR, which had a movie premiere on Saturday evening. These BDR routes are similar to the TET, for you yurupeens. This weekend was also the day my 08 GSA was returned to me after 1 year of rehab. My buddy had ridden it last march in baja (see ride reports) and beat it up a little, so he took it home for fixins. A small group of us headed to Temecula for the showing and some offroad fun. My baby is back! Flames was painted for a TV show that Jesse James did in 2009, riding the bike on the Ice Road in Canada. The painter who did the custom work is Pete Finlan, of Hotdog Kustoms. Since his place is in TEmecula, we figured he might want to see how she looks today Pete standing next to his work Pete is well known in the custom paint world, especially in SoCal All hand painted. His style of flames is unique. Here is one he has done recently.

Zuckerberg aint no man, so it aint no fight, dont be a hater, you leave, see how many women complain.

You are just asking for this sunshine!

My grandmother has a saying, inspired in the way a chicken offers her rear upwards when it's sexy time, "tão puta como uma galinha", which translates to "as much of a whore as a chicken". It sounds dirtier in Portuguese

That's pretty cool but you'd probably say that the Osmonds are gay , whereas that lead singer in GFR looks gayer than a gay person from Upper Gaytown

Yen posts The Osmonds! We're seriously fucked now!

Nobody cares what i said, they just want to count my ribs.

Well, you dint expect me to teach english for a livin did ya? Smoking hot pays well, and if ya want, you dont have to work past brunch on Sundays.

I think it was that the rag trade grew up around there and at that time there were a lot of displaced Jewish people who found work there. There's still a lot of tailoring going on in the area, but it's mainly the Bangladeshi who are there now.

The Brick Lane beigal shop! From a Jack the Ripper site AREAS OF SETTLEMENT By the mid-nineteenth century, Anglo-Jewry had moved away from the original area of settlement in Aldgate and was to be found in Marble Arch, Canonbury, Dalston, and other havens of middle class tranquility. The Aldgate area had become, as had the rest of the City, largely non-residential and filled with warehouses, offices and banks. But, the district immediately east of Aldgate was about to become the Jewish area par excellence. By 1914, 90 per cent of all Jews in England would live in the crowded streets and alleys of Whitechapel, Spitalfields and St George's in the East. A ghetto was in formation. Why did the refugees choose this area to settle in? One reason was the presence of earlier poor Ashkenazi immigrants in the area; another was the existence of the soup kitchen. THE POOR JEWS TEMPORARY SHELTER Yet another was the existence from 1885 of the Poor Jews Temporary Shelter in Leman Street. This institution was founded by Hermann Landau (1849-1921). An immigrant, having been born at Constantinov in Poland, he rose to become a Hebrew teacher and, later, a stockbroker. Another attraction was the numerous chevrot (societies or clubs based on towns of origin) which existed to aid the newcomer. WHY THE DISTRICT BECAME THE GHETTO But two factors helped to determine that this district would become the ghetto. Firstly, the majority of refugees arrived by steamer from Hamburg and these docked at Irongate Wharf by Tower Bridge (where the Tower Thistle Hotel now stands in St Katharine's Dock); it is a universal wisdom that immigrants first settle where they get off the ship. Secondly, and most decisively, the East End in general was the least desirable part of town and, within the East End, the parishes of Spitalfields, Whitechapel and St George's were the least opulent of all. The immigrants had little choice but to settle here. They could not afford alternative accommodation, and would probably not be accepted as tenants elsewhere in the metropolis. The Jewish communities which had arrived in earlier centuries were, or would become, middle class. But in the nineteenth century working-class Jews were arriving. The earliest identifiable group of Jewish industrial workers were the Dutch Jews who settled in the Cobb Street, Leyden Street and Toynbee Street area of Spitalfields in the 1850s. It was among these workers, who were involved in the cigar and cigarette manufacturing industry, that the first strike of Jewish workers in England took place in 1858. The East European refugees introduced three elements which had not hitherto been present to any extent in Anglo-Jewry: socialism, trade unionism and Zionism. The Anglo-Jewish community had been very comfortable until the arrival of these strangers who dressed differently, spoke a foreign language (Yiddish) and carried their radical religious or political ideas with them. They were not really welcome, but they were fellow Jews and so, initially, they had to be welcomed. But as early as 1882 the Board of Guardians of the Jewish Poor was taking advertising space in the Jewish press in Russia and Romania warning potential immigrants that if they came to England they would face great hardships and that the Board would give them no relief in the first six months of their residence. The Board was swimming against the tide; the immigrants had faced a stark choice of choice life (if they left) or death (if they stayed). The hardships of England were as nothing compared to the hardships of home.

Cheers mate, all advice is very welcome

After that Kansass City thing one tends to look real close first.

Has Zuckerberg posted an apology yet on my wall? If not the short selling continues...

Seems not, the average UK BMW owner hardly ever use them.

Does in the local pickle park i wouldnt recomend either blinker. Just saying.

It's so you get that nice line of dirty water up your back when its raining. Something you'd know nothing of. Looks more like a bike, I'd test ride it.

The culprit, as well as the plastic surgeon: He used to manage one of Max's BMW stores in Connecticut. Tire test on South Divide Trail Hard core bikers, roughing it before the movie

Blossom just starting to come out on the almond trees.

@Grasshopper's Ride I think we just discovered what you would need in order to be deleted from the site...

@Six30 would nob it!

Same here i just couldn't buy a modern second hand enduro bike without knowing the history of it now. I've bumped into loads of people on the trails with disconnected speedos and all the bike taped up so they can sell it on with low hours in a few years time and I've lost count of how many new bikes I've seen drown in rivers.
