Took the speedo cable off the 400 and ascertained that it is indeed snapped. I didnt break anything or set anything on fire Quick hoon up to Rivi to gawp at all the bikes...managed to stay on mine. Most excellent day.

Not really mate but I’ve got this screenshot to give you the idea.

So, had a look and a spin on the DR @boboneleg and it rode rather well for an old lump. Bit like me. Apparently. Picking it up next Friday and it’s due to piss down

End of May/start of June my plan is to meet up in Zaragoza with a couple of mates from the UK. They’re taking three days to get there but I can do it in one so that’s a good deal for me. From there, the plan is to head west across the top of Spain, taking the smaller roads and just explore with no set plans. We’ll have about six days together and then they’ll get the ferry back to the UK from Bilbao while I head south to home.

I went to Hamilton today just south of Glasgow and picked up some gloves from J&S Accessories. I saw a lot of bikes out today which makes a change. We saw highly exotic temperatures as much as 12C.

And barges.

When was i on Guam for $20 Alex....priest sent me and 3 other boys into church to pray for our sinners, while i sat there i looked up and said the virgin mary statue moved, the other kids agreed of course why not and went and told the priest, next thing i know they are carrying her statue around the streets of Agana and the whole island is in the parade. Just one more reason to keep your mouth shut in church. True story.

Engineering history you mong.

Looks good mate, it’s well over forty years since I’ve owned a kickstart bike but I’ve had a little bit of practice more recently on XR250’s………….let’s hope I master the technique quickly to reduce the bruising.

How tall are they? Not the Alps.

He won't be going anywhere Bob.....he always comes out with that stuff but never does anything. Doesn't even fire the van up. And anyway, he'll never get through the 20 mile queue at the ports.......but you know, will of the people and all that.

Six really knows how to chat up the ladies.

Probably the size of a small country.

Tomorrow I'm heading to the other side of Pai to try a trail which is supposed to run along close to the Myanmar border. If we succeed we get to eat pizza in Pai, if we don't succeed we get to sleep on the mountain again. Should be good. KLX230 and CRF450RL. Here's hoping my clutch holds out this time - but we've got the two rope just in case

im your way for 3 weeks in June , i'll stay with you Bob your be ok on the sofa for a few weeks mate wont you ?

He isn’t going to know that, it crosses water ffs , so he’s not going to go near it

what about her family, they glad to see the back of her or you got to bring the whole family ?

Don't remember exactly, either parsley or coriander. I do burgers and stuff like that too ...

No, but I do enjoy opening a bottle of wine and cooking, be it for someone I like or just for myself.

Spaghetti al aglio olio, with parsley Omelette, with onions and cheese Sofia's pie Spiced sardine and potato stew, african style Chakshuka, or a Berber Omellete of sorts South Italian inspired, sardine and olive spaghetti Tagliatelle bolognese Sauted garlic portobello mushrooms, and tomato salad Penne al broccoli Mum's leftover squid stew, turned into a spaghetti Turmeric rice and peas with chorizo Very much a Lisbon typical dish, Bacalhau à Bras, codfish with straw fries and egg Fava beans and pork stew Spaghetti with courgette and parmesan Tomato and parsley salad, chorizo scrambled eggs, and for dessert season oranges with cinnamon and thyme

It’s what is left of the gates to Hatton House, the arch was built in the mid 14th century so a mere 670 years old or so. The house fell into disrepair and was finally demolished in 1955.

If you deter by slovenia you could up some OEM Tomos parts. just saying ...

Need a tetanus shot to work on those headers.

I hope its an interesting story cause the location is depressing. On the bright side looks like a great spot to dump bodies.

Nice one Ray, very simular to the one I had years ago

Just been doing a bit of research into the journey I'd have to make if the shit hits the fan! It's about 2000 miles each way.........and I'd aim to do a 1000 miles a day. I may not be able to do that sort of schedule these days as I ain't getting any younger, but that'll be my target. If it looks like it'll go to 3 days (based on my progress on the first day).......then I'll look at a stop in a service area in Lyon, and on the second day in Prague! Now before you ask why don't they take a flight?......I'll repeat that despite the fact that the youngest grandson was two last week, they never bothered to get him a passport. They've applied now but it could be weeks before they receive it. And also, depending on the situation there, just bear in mind that the Russians have form for shooting commercial aircraft down. I know it's a bit of a stretch......but you can't discard that possibility.

Smooth Talking Motherfucker for sure!

I think Marie could do with a good Tony Danza you know!

It's Tym, there's no telling what the true subject is................

Just seen a load of big GS's filling up at the petrol station. I fucking hate that......people turning up at a meeting point and they haven't fuelled first. The way it looks now they're going to get drenched anyway!

you'l have to buy the books to find out....

NC500 end of August, otherwise just rallies.

I have a better one, "Ive seen many men die, Very few were my fault."

I wanted to go back to Norway but this covid thing has messed up any plans I had. Have already done the NW500 or the best parts of it several times, and Fred will tell you that it's camper van central up there. I went up to Skye in a borrowed van over Xmas, thinking that it would be quiet, but everybody else must have had the same idea! Shit happens. With fuel costing what it is, it makes my flesh creep just thinking how much it'd cost to do the trip that I did to Norway again. That was 6.5k miles. That's about 590l assuming 50 mpg. In Norway that's about £2/l, so about £1200. Not cheap when you factor in the increased cost of accommodation and food. If the conflict escalates or spreads, then any European travel plans are academic anyway, I'll have to go to Scotland again.

Yesterdays Job was at the foot of this thing

Indeed, but I didn’t feel like that close an inspection

Got three girlfriends that are keen to ride the long way round over to a mates place in Chatel (ski resort next to Avoriaz in the French Alps) which has been set for the end of April but I have a feeling the lack of a volunteer to take on all the crappy organising part of the deal means thatll get shelved for later on! If it happens then great if not when Mr Slowly and I ride the bikes back for their MOTS end of June we’re going to take our time and ride through the French Alps and stop off for a few days. We’re going to Nick Sanders Mini Mach and if the weathers good will take some time to go round the coast n castles of Wales on our way. October Im revving up to go to Morocco. Nothing major just Marrakesh via Casablanca in a zig zag fashion. Mr Slowly has more than warmed to the idea so.. Also I really want to redo the NC500 I was blown away by the Wesr Coast, theres not another place with views like that but that might be a bit too much to squeeze in. We’ll see. @Tango if you make it to Petes let me know Ill bring Mr Slowly over for a cup of tea or you’re welcome to have a break from the Ginge and come over to Salobrena.

Amazingly it dried up enough for me to give the bike a run up to Fadrique......a round trip of 30 miles. Enough to get it warmed up to clear out any condensation and charge the system a bit. It was about 10C and windy, but I had to do it as it's not likely to see the light of day again for another two weeks.

Mozambique on a TRIUMPH 1200 Scrambler

Now Iran is taking shots at our embassy in Iraq. Miss Trump yet? Anyone seen Hunter? Paging Hunter Biden, hero or zero? You decide.

The chuck was froZen in the fridge, one chunk of on sale chuck, you dont buy pounds of chuck on sale? Keto diet you arnt i might mention i have the abs of Jesus if you havent been paying attention.

Yup i feel perfectly safe knowing they all got guns lets hope they don't take the innocent with them

Theres over 100 gun deaths a day in America so probably no need to discuss gun controls

You could say that, it's kinda his specialist subject... However did you guess? He's my Dad. He's now 82 so the more money he makes now...

Au contraire mon ami, from what I've seen in the past our Ren does ok with the ladies
