So last weekend I headed to Llangollen with 600 of my fellow HDRCGB members for the International rally. It was a 552 mile round trip a lot of which was done on the M6 due to weather on travel days. On the camping days the sun blazed and much beer was imbibed. Met some old friends and made some new ones, used my new tent and had a great relaxing weekend.

What Pete is expecting to look like when going for a ride after they've gone through his bike, out on a casual sunday ride:

You can have my Himalayan @XTreme for €2,500 before I part-ex it. Very reliable. One careful owner. Never been dropped. Never seen dirt. Never been thrashed (it’s impossible with 25 bhp).

You hold all the cards ….

Dodging feckin puddles again .............

By the time they finish swapping out parts as they find more problems you will only have that top box left of the original bike. Henceforth your bike shall be known as TRIGGER'S BIKE. The terrible thing is, the top box is Italian.

Pizza, everyone should have a back up job.

You can fuck off as well you pant shitter!

My bad, I forgot you don’t have a functioning motorcycle.

But your deck of cards contains all the bloody 2s there's no aces in your hand

But it is gone …. It got took away in a van … van boy .

this man is on the ball no flies on you Pete

You know why? Cos I didn't buy from a backstreet shyster! And The Sale of Goods Act here even covers private sales as well.

But you can't polish a turd no matter what you throw at it

Did you ride today?

Fuck is that super BMW still bolloxed then?.

You've never met @Renegade have you?

It inspired me Pedro!

All I remember are two pictures, one on a wet gravely layby, the other behind the dumpster on an alley behind a chinese restaurant.

So instead of being miserable about my clutch I decided to do something completely deranged instead (as one does). The Hanuman Enduro Competition was so far out of my comfort zone, I really thought I must have lost my mind when I signed up for it. But it also turned out to be one of the destroying and affirming experiences I've put myself through in years (and I have a bit of a record of putting myself in out-there situations). It was just... wow. I wrote up the full story on my blog bikehedonia.com

It was not. It's even more unpleasant queuing in it. Oof. Had a shower and walked up the village to the boozer and need another one.

looks like someone has just done something nasty on that bun

It where the grandparents lived, the actual founders were born in the colony.

Regardless of accuracy, that's just disrespectful towards an all around nice guy like Ian.

He doesn't have the minerals ..... too scared of the MDB

I'm actually looking forward to the ride report of this, with two very distinct guys talking of the same trip!

The air was cool with a very hot sun. interesting day today. electric problems. Bodged and limped to Besancon. New/old part found and sorted. But it took hours. Stopped for a meal at Gap (appropriately enough) and from there to Le Camping Moto, in the Vercors. Arrived at dusk so tents up and sorted fast! and beer. what a day. We should have been here by 4. Not 9:30!!! spotted a treasure at the bike place…

Fixed

If we were talking about a Strom or something like that I probably would! But I really like this bike......so I'm going to give it a chance to prove itself. If it can't then it'll be gone.

You should be demanding your money back then .

Ever heard of the Sale of Goods Act? They have a similar thing here! It was back with them after only 10 days and it's now been there for a month! I hold all the cards!

Someone is paying for the work , they won’t just keep chucking money at it you twat

Beat me to it there.

Honest question why not i do have some fav flav's of lollies.

Don't think you will.......

It's not a top box. It's a Tour Pak.

I refer you to this delightful morsel that was handed to me in hospital last year .....

Look who’s talking!

I don't know ... you brits are too weird: don't like garlic, eggs make you fart, vegetables make you fart, everything either makes you fart or stink Maybe you are just stinky and fart a lot because of genetics, stop blaming proper food

he didn’t mean for you…

not wrong but they are a lot better than they were ten years ago at that time the forecast wasn't in the same county
