Hadn’t heard of Thunder in the Glens, just watched the YouTube promo. 10,000 visitors in a weekend! I hope @Buckster you’re not one of the ones causing the disturbing vision of Harleys and hi-viz vests if you’re not wearing jeans n a T-shirt riding along with a cigar in one hand I’m gonna be disappointed.

You taking your car @Buckster NonceCar 500

Even your posts are smoking hot.

Having lost brakes due to overheating two out of the three times I've tried to drive down our local mountain in an automatic four wheel drive, I must beg to differ. Please give me back a manual transmission and some decent engine braking because I'm having too much fun to die. And also I'm sick of sitting on the mountain as it gets dark, waiting for the brakes to cool...

Car part didn't arrive so took the bike for an MOT, the fitter where i take it is now doing the MOT inspections and the fucker is thorough cheeky git put a throwing front wheel loose spoke and slight play in the suspension linkage down as an advisory its been like that for the last 15 years i ain't about to fix it now went home the long way. The road from the MOT station is getting a bit rough i think This lane was recently cut back by some horsey types the lazy fuckers left all the clippings on the floor made it a little hard going After going through this I picked up a few of these i had to stop twice to clear the crap stuck in the bike and once to shift some branches i couldn't ride through Went to check on a lane where i reported a tree blocking the road a few months ago when i got there it was cleared But a little further on the recent winds had brought another tree down Easy enough to get around down through here But then another down had to cut through the trees to the right to get around it, from here it was home keep forgetting how nice the XR is to ride on the trails

Sent this to my daughter

It’s okay, your wet dream is intact.

You looking like my Dad doesn’t quite hit the mark … but you can post some photos anyway

a lot of years ago i had sky and at the time it was £20 a month and when the tyson fights were on they wanted another £20 each time to watch them so i binned it cheeky bas**rds

Yes they where pepper pots, not original but period. and I spent yesterday mooping round the bedroom as I drank far too much Saturday night.

my Toyota Auris, which is hybrid and obviously has their CVT ( continuous Variable Transmission) which is a bizarre type of automatic box ( but doesn't actually have "staged" gears as such, has no manual mode. It does have a position with enhanced engine braking and increased energy recuperation via the wheels to recharge the batteries for use in moutainous areas which reduces the amount of actual brake needed.

Time's running out to vote.....or vote-switch as the case may be!

@Tango's in front.........but can @boboneleg come from behind?

Is it a farting competition

Im easily pleased! Plenty of thrills in those pics. The excitement of not knowing for sure what lays ahead and getting the bike through it.

Love it @Sir Fallsalot Your pics have really cheered me up.

Damn......I wish I was there!

Have you been taking elocution lessons from Tym on that last line

yes indeed, 2 years since we saw them last, almost to the day.

a report in the UK last week suggested that the majority of todays university students will be repaying their student loans well into their 60's...! average cost of a years at university inthe UK now at somewhere between 10 and 15 thousand pounds?! I'm sooooglad i refused that path when it was offered me. Here I pay about 250€ a year administration fee for N01 Daughter and the rest is free ( I obviously pay board and lodging) adn as a scholarship student she can eat in the University restaurant for 1€ per meal. To reply to Grace's original post, we don't do Valentines day gifts either but I used it as an excuse to buy her a bracelet which has "over the MooN" picked out in morse code...

The brand new Mitas XT754 on the rear made short work of the mud its a bloody good tyre but don't last long though

The local land owner on that lane has been know to put logs in the way so was wondering if he had been there messing about or it could have been last weekends storms blowing it all back onto the lane. As for preferring the XR over the Beta i cant really say i have a preference, i like each of them for what they are i didn't think once today on the dirt i wish i was on the Beta there wasn't anything technical enough. the XR wins hands down for the road work between the lanes and then the 650 beats the XR on the road i just like everything so no one gets jealous of each other

Alentejo, big skies and Cork trees!

Bloody part just turned up for the car so i now know what i'm doing tomorrow

We don't bother with gifts/flowers anymore, sometimes go out for a drink n food. Bunch of roses going for £275 in London, she'd smack me about the head if I spent that.

I thought the same but this one.

Fucking yeah

Going to Lisbon’s busiest biker meeting point today, to check it out as I’m not a local. But taking less busy, and more challenging roads:
