Quality time with my puppy:

Mrs cousin owns a pub in Wiltshire , mother in law coming with us …. cousin said I can put bike in her garage , so while they are doing what ever I’m out on bike …

Shit, they didn't give the guy any warning before taking that picture, did they?

Van action soon …

It’s like weather

So I’m in France now, long day and pretty knackered. Met a complete nutter on the tunnel, she wasn’t all there but she sure can ride a big GS....

I've made the momentous decision to finally retire my Summer Jacket from 2001. Cos next week I'll be receiving a new one.......it's got all the external pockets I need, and has a removable thermal lining. So you'll just have to make do with Trolling my boots and my bike now!

So today was what you might call an adventure. I’ve been looking forward to riding the pave (cobbled) roads for three years now and they didn’t disappoint. The weather however was something else, when it rains in France it feckin rains, none of this namby pamby stuff. I’m sat in an Irish bar in Compiegne now having a couple of pints of Guinness

Your confusing me with some one with money …. this is a freebie clive .. get in

you only live once , do what you can while you can .

My motorcycling obsession has expanded... again. Oops.

We are going to Scarborough nothing to say is there.

That @MooN is hiding again now I’m in France. He better be around to make me a coffee tomorrow ️

That lady brightened up my day, she’d do well on here. She most certainly wasn’t a snowflake

Had a couple of these to wash it down, looks like I may get a bit wet tomorrow 🌧

Where in Wiltshire? I need to put out a scroate alert

Just sent the rest of my bread back, turns out I had enough

I'm going on my boat trip on Sunday, the one to see the WW2 forts. A delightful trip on a summer's day or four and a half hours of chucking my guts up, who can tell? I visited Strange Dave last night. He has a new part time job. He shoots rabbits, squirrels and rats for pest control. His gun sight has a video function, so I got treated to many rodent deaths, they don't know when to give up when shot, I'll say that for them. One of his regular jobs is a warehouse full of old loaves of bread which gets chopped up to go into animal feed. The piles are swarming with rats at night, he said it's nearly made him turn vegetarian as the bread must be full of rats' piss. I watched the gunsight films of mass slaughter, all the rats have glowing eyes in the night scope.

Captain bladder weakness

Why so many pockets pete?

Fixed.

That's what millionaires do......the Jet set.

Fuck eating horse , I went for some proper meat ......

Are Legends! Riding together for a pacing run up Goodwood Not quite the same thing as the old days, like in the video below when they pass Eddie Lawson like he's standing still, but probably quite a lot more emotional for both of them.

Your fine then , right on the border of Dorset. watch out for the women with 6 fingers

Gay

I’m not holding my breath, you only go 10 miles from home (weather permitting) of course

I gave him a call earlier, a lot will depend on the weather but he’s also busy. Hopefully I may be able to meet him at work sometime around lunchtime tomorrow

In total I suppose they add up to approx 40-45 kms. Some were closed for refurbishment and there were others I could have ridden. looks like it’s another soaking tomorrow 🌧

Yes Pedro … yes

We better ask Pete for a photo of the back to settle this! Hey @XTreme!

I can feel a Ride report coming on for tomorrow!

Damn right, as well it should considering it’s double the horsepower of a Harley!

Great shots Bob......but that fucking weather is terrible. When are you going to be in @MooN's area?

No.....I need to stop regularly for a piss anyway!

Can we see your knee ?

I bet that has loads of oil to dump over the road.

It's his blue riding jacket, it's the same since 1990 in Wales, it's so old it learned to adapt! A real life example of PI (Poliester Intelligence) Why won't it take long to change?

just sitting here thinking .... how can a ginger have lived in spain as long as you with out melting ?

who's flounced , who's @Tym upset now.

I think in his mind he's just doing the community a service and helping people who just don't read other people' posts to keep up. But they've flounced, @XTreme, you can give it a rest now!

Classic......and the B side "Sandman" is another one!

As long as you are not to bothered about sharp colours it should be okay, whites will be off white and you will only get very dark grey rather than black.

Had an errand to run in the morning and today is a holiday in Portugal so very little to do in the morning, left early taking advantage of the morning coolness. Went to Santarem, which is one of the hottest cities in Portugal, lovely garden for a short walk before coming back home, testing how it felt to be around as I felt a little weak a few days ago. Great views over the Tejo and one of Portugal's biggest farm region. The Tejo is looking really sad. Storks used to be a migratory bird, when summer arrived they'd settle back to their nests left empty from the previous year. They're starting to stick around year round now. Summer, big heat arriving and the nests have 3 or 4 occupancy instead of 1 or 2, baby storks are so cute. I stopped at two places to see if you can get how many they are Stopped by the Dainese place, and the Hayabusa club was meeting there for a ride, such cool bikes! I'd love one, but honestly don't know what to do with such a fast bike except lose my license. Last 10 or so km before home were going to be on a nice and fast dirt road, but progress creeped up, my lovely dusty dirt road turned into lovely black tarmac. Used to look like this: Now it looks like this: Surely the people who use that to go home much prefer it like this, specially over winter, but today it spoiled my fun

Better we don't know though Clive. Live every day as if it's our last at our age! Why do you think I bought a GS?
