How dare you not to want 6 months of mindless drivel and advice from keyboard commando's on what bike you shouldnt get.

New bike day!

In all fairness how many portugese stand up comics have made the big time?

Bozo's party pics have gone public then?

Nice one Bob, such a cool looking bike . I had one about 2006, I only sold it as I would have ended up taking it trail riding and it was much too smart for that.

It's not "sheeps" you numpty! It's "shipe".

Today we were due a break between the howling winds that Tym kindly sent over from his flag island so it was a good chance to go for a trail ride. Only one destination in mind and that was the Fosseway, nice and steady and a good way to worm my way back in as my last trail ride was June 2021 . I met Tony at Castle Combe and we set off for Summer Lane but that was blocked by a fallen tree, so backtrack and straight onto the Fosseway at Fossegate. Lots of puddles and fallen branches to avoid but apart from that no dramas until we stopped at the ford, no fording today so we took the bridge instead............. There was some evidence on an unsucessful previous attempt by someone else............ We carried on another couple of miles until coming across this coming towards us. I asked the driver if it was ok to take some photos as I had never seen a carriage on a byway before........... At the junction with the Kemble road we took the UCR around the airfield. Stopped here to open a gate, you can see planes in the background................. We wern't sure if the AV8 cafe was open or not as it had been closed for a couple of months. When we got there we found out why, it probably takes a fair while to manouvere a jumbo jet into a position where it can greet you as park in the cafe car park After a nice cup of coffee and watching several light aircraft taking off in fairly gusty winds we made oue way over to some lanes south of Cirencester.............. and then found a handy bench to sit on and eat our sandwiches on a farm track south of Malmesbury From there we rode a couple more lanes before parting on the A420. I rode down to a local garage with a jet wash to get rid of the mud and than made my way back home. It was great to ride a bike on loose surfaces again and feel it moving about beneath me and the bonus was not a single badger

You've got to look out for each other in this weather. I just checked on my 88 year old neighbour to see if she needed anything from the shops. It turned out that she did ...so I gave her my shopping list as well. No point in us both going out in this.

Found it, it was only 16 years ago. My memory is deceiving me

It's the Street Scrambler 900, Pete. It's a bit lower than the 1200 Scrambler. It's 64bhp and 59ft/lb torque, which is more than enough for the roads around here. It weighs 223kg, but the centre of gravity is quite low, so it doesn't feel as unstable as the CB500X did when maneuvering, even though the Honda is quite a bit lighter. It's only got 5 gears, but their quite tall ratios, so, with the torque it pulls from low down. Nice relaxed riding, mate.

Lol. I like to do my own research. However, sometimes that misfires! CB500X?

cut out the middle men (people)

Yeah, I didn't want to say anything until I'd got my grubby mitts on it! Yep, chopped the Honda in against it and got a reasonable price for it too. I guess it helps that they're a dealer for Honda as well as Triumph.

I don't think calling them 'fucking lazy cheeseheads' is going to get a quick response

Talking to a find yesterday who's looking out for a house locally for a family coming back from Spain. She said there's lots a expats trying to get back here.

Fortunately I dress to the left, Pete, so it'll only be my leg getting hot!

No i'm not posting pics i don't need the wheel that much

you know what i meant ...idiot

You're missing him?

yeh , nice one @skyrider ..members wives & girlfriends picture section . if your a bender , keep your photos to yourself please , not lesbo's you can put pics up.

I like the song as it has that 60's feel to it......and the Austin Powers video just adds that bit extra!

I dont know what your worried about you'll probably be working anyway

Down to 33 from 280+......let's hope we've cracked it now!

Thanks @skyrider. The colour is a special edition, but it was all I could get until later in the year. But, I saw it in the showroom and instantly took a shine to it! My missus loves it, so I'll probably have to hide the keys!

PHOTOS

thats a thousand miles more than me Pete really hoping to get the xt out this year

I hear they didnt appreciate when pa wanted to get a pistol and bring it home and the Dutch couldnt stop him...so he did, nothing they could do, US mil spec cheeseballs.

Still in pretty good order now.......

Not legal here and been caught out by Brexit! Don't worry Dave......I won't be coming back! Chernobyl or Fukushima would be more attractive options!

That's a big lump of the fosse way I never got to do although maybe the TDM could of managed it.

No problem Mate, Fred is not here to comment but his wife would knock that old trout in the video into a cocked hat
