If you want reliable machine get a ktm...

the twins had their school dance on friday night having finished their " Brevet d'école" I managed to persuade them to stand still for 2 minutes when they got home the more observant of you will notice the shoes... Doc martins and Converse... They,ve both been accepted into the highschool we wanted for them so I am a justifiably proud father ( but don't tell them that)

Took the car to the beach i though i was alone this time so i wouldnt be bothered.

better looking prostitutes

Heading back home tomorrow but taking the scenic route. Id like to do chemins on the way but I don’t think my ribs would thank me

I've already had provisional offer with Breedon concrete who I already work for if we do get the house, just have to let them know dates

A road ride and some sightseeing today

Thanks Ian......you gave me an idea for a new Mystery bike thread!

Well i dont need a cabnit, i do need a forklift for the pallets of weapons and ammo.

Course he is …. it’s grim up north

Knew I could count on you mate

Well my weekend has started with a drive down south after work yesterday and today I have a viewing on a property in stortford so all being well I'll be paying the deposit and first 3 months rent up front and we will be moving back to the area at the end of the month.....and the wife moans that she's got a hard life she should try being me for a week then she could complain

I had another off today, must try harder Duffed up an indicator But after a coffee stop and a breather we carried on and did some glorious trails Bike all straightened out now, just doing a road ride tomorrow so hopefully I’ll keep it sunny side up

Does this mean your both get bummed

As you know we're without the car this weekend as my boy's family have got it. So this was the big test for the Beemer with the wife on board! We rode over to feed the horses, she reckoned it was exactly like Big Bird......she found it very comfortable and she got no grief from her back. Well we fed the horses and went back to the bike to go home! Then it all turned to shit......because the ABS would not activate! The light just kept blinking furiously. So I called a mate who lives up the road to come and get us......but by the time he got there the ABS activated. So I rode it home and the wife went in the car with him, just in case it failed while I was riding. I got it back to the house, spoke to Rafa and told him it's being delivered back to him Monday, and I either want a refund or another bike. So he'll sort something out Monday on that. Pity really, cos the wife loved it.......but with the places I get to I need unfailing reliability. Not a failing bike! I tried!

It might even be Medival

That reminds me, a quick reminder for our American friends this weekend.

And he's selling it..... £950k to you pete all fees included via dropintheocean seaways

Is that job offer set in stone then?

Cross runner, its your style of bike , its a Honda ... reliable , good for two up, sorted .

Fingers crossed it all falls in place Rich.

Yes, Montpazier. It’s a medical town .

Harley Pan America for you.

Life could have been so different if I'd got the Pacific Coast of my dreams back in the day.

The Pacific Coast called.

Have a look for a Kawasaki Versys 1000, go for the ugly Mark 1 version. Cheaper than most, super comfy, as reliable as anything and faaaaaaaast if you need it. Wish I still had mine, it’s a proper wolf in sheeps clothing.

Shame I’ve already sold the Himalayan mate or…………… …….seriously though, it’s gutting when you want something to be good and it just isn’t. Hope you get something better mate.

15 loooong years ago!

Who in their right minds puts a system on a bike that when it fails something that will save your life stops working

Brother-in-laws down but Mandis had a work do yesterday and she she's now gone for a 2 hour hair do. Told them to come round anyway and well do something after I've looked at their rear brakes. Other than that I'll be mostly painting our extended room. Can't get a bike out from the back as I've piled so much stuff in the side passage, the dominators out front but I've snapped an exhaust stud changing the exhaust. Heveningham country fair is on today and tomorrow so will get there for one of the days. Channels 4 today is showing the womens racing, F1 practice3 and qually and then Formula E live so I could easy stay in with the lager fridge.

Steady Bob, long way from home.

thats George roper

Nope that was Bobs mate Steve i just ripped a pannier off on a post LOL

I'm starting to think if i owned that bike it would have a better life with me

Not if it's a servo assisted, some older ones were and it's no longer like that for a reason Later versions of the same generation have a normal system, in which if the ABS fails all you have is a non ABS bike like you say.

Did just over 400 km trouble free yesterday.. Was with 4 harley and 1 can am Spyder... The harley we're complaining on the roughness of the roads... Have to say the ktm suspension just eats those nasty sucker bumps.. No complaints here... Sorry no pics... Was to busy...

I don't know what that has to do with anything BMW but it's bloody funny.

That guy from Red Dwarf has filled out a bit.

You have a Vespa in the van now?

aah you my favourite skin disease
