Donkey usually comes along with me on Euro trips................

My 'luck' is on my key ring. Various things added, a couple of coins with holes in the middle from various holidays, my dog's address tag from about 1982ish when I took him to the vet for the last time (Mister, a rescue collie), a Motorhead (the group) metal tag, no idea where I got that. This is why the main bunch has to have the bike or car key attached for easy separation of I wouldn't be able to turn the handlebars/steering wheel. I used to have a bit of red plastic car tail light that ended up in the fins/spark plug area of my GPz750 when a car drove out of control directly at me at about 40mph. I was waiting at a mini roundabout so was stationary, he'd just clipped another speeding car which had sent him my way. Just as I thought I was going to die, he buried his bonnet and most of his engine into a very tall lamp column directly in front of me and I found myself showered by bits of car and street lamp lens. It was on the key ringh for a few years then must have broken and fallen off.

I was never fussed about cluttering my bike by attaching things to them and I'm not superstitious but over the years I've been given a some and am quite fond of them. The 'Pop' Evil Knievel on my Himalayan is my favourite, it makes me laugh to think of the fear my riding would induce in him and he cant close his eyes plus the lump the Himalayan is couldn't be further away from producing a stunt.. unless its gravel related So what you got or does it make you wince when you see a bikes lovely lines wrecked by attached daftness.

that's called crashing Clive.

Yes, I quite often watch l this ladies videos, unlike her though if I was doing that sort of stuff I'd be wearing gloves when picking up 'stuff'

I always have to have a look when I am working near any of these. Most are public highway so we are supposed to maintain them, but I know of at least one wooden stair that has had the bottom rot away leaving a 10 foot drop to the river bed/beach, something not visible if you walk down them at high tide when the water is over the last step. https://spitalfieldslife.com/2022/08/11/watermens-stairs-o/

Looking at the the crowd your bothering with lately it wont be long before you have tassels hanging off the bar ends

You fucking liar every bike you have has a massive cube attached to the back of it that has to be your mascot

I used to have a red white and blue haired Gonk with a "Rule Britannia" t shirt attached to my XJ650, 'till it got stolen in Strasbourg, never had anything since

Always think of my dad , when i go out on bike..., so in a way he's with me , i know he aint, im not a fucking loon.

My faith in Christ is sufficient.

I wanted to be Zoot the saxophonist but I was always more Bunsen and Kermit .. with a touch of the swedish chef... and a side order of animal

I was always animal (used to have red hair), now I'm more of a Rowlf

What muppets are you .. this has to be an all time low on here

I wanted to be animal but probably more like beaker

Cookie monster..

Didn't feel like taking a lot of pictures today, rode a lot leaving home around 9AM, stopping for a coffee, then stopping for a quick sandwich lunch, then stopping about an hour for an afternoon coffee, and then stopping around 7PM, so a pretty good day. Douro river: Lunch stop, near where the Tua river joins the Douro: Tua river below:, some great roads in this little corner of Portugal, if you like great roads. At Miranda do Douro, taken on the Spanish side, Portugal on the other bank: Plan was to sleep there, and have some of the great local typical steaks for dinner, but it was sort of too early, the place was crowded with spaniards and immigrants, just too many people and I started to get Covid itches, so moved on and rode another couple of hours till where I was going to sleep. Crossed the Douro to Spain and slept 200 meters into Spain. Behind my "house" and on the other side of the river is Penedo Durão, from where Sofia took her great pictures. Cracked open a beer after a shower, and prepared for dinner Dinner was fried calamari (or squid), and a dish of huevos rotos, which means fried potatoes with ham and fried eggs. Post dinner beer, and retired to bed while being mauled by mosquitoes. today, woke up to this: Had breakfast, went to fuel up the bike, which took forever because there were two tractors in front of me, and made it to Penedo Durão by 08:40, it's great when you sleep in spain because you get up at the normal time and gain an hour as soon as you get back to Portugal. It helped that I had no internet yesterday, and went to sleep early. Between this viewpoint and the river is the N221, and the 25km from Freixo de Espada à Cinta heading South are some of the coolest twisties I know. Headed to Serra da Estrela, to go past continental Portugal's highest peak on the way South. Getting close to there stopped to put my plastic rain suit on, just in time for a proper downfall. Tried an alternate route up the hill and discovered a pretty cool but of forest road. Very slippery in the rain, though, the moss growing on the tarmac didn't help. Got wetter and turned to dirt as I went past the tree line: This is at over 1900 meters altitude, there is a great view here, you'll just have to imagine: From then on it wasn't even worth taking the phone out for pictures, too much rain, too much fog and a lot of wind. Went down the other side of the mountain hoping to find better weather only for it to get worse. Visibility was so poor I didn't feel comfortable going more than 50kmh. After most of the mountain, first sign of light: Decided I felt like some warmth so engaged mach 5 and hightailed it to Alentejo via some cool twisties, got to the hotel in time for a nice dip in the swimming pool, with a castle view. Now chilling a little bit, before going to dinner, I'm proper hungry since I didn't have anything since breakfast.

Post the fucken video you cunt...

They stayed in room 1914, the service was shite but they left a tip anyway.

you don't believe in stuff you can't see...? wind, germs, the past or the futur, electricity, atoms, neutrons, your dick...

Or it was a lottery token, number 1914, he lost the jackpot by only one number.

Someone had just joined up and was looking forward to a peaceful time in the tropics writing his frustration onto a coin when war was declared.

No I wouldnt use my main phone off road or even off tarmac either. They cost too much and aren't exactly a nice biodegradable disposable item But the Garmin fits nicely in that holder too.

Did you have a birthday Clive

That led to this

Don't understand it, they love the royals and he's stinking rich n looks like Prince Charles

Gonna give my latess Concorde a ring and see what she doing later on tonight... I can't pull a all nighter... I have to work tomorrow.. Maybe a sandwich or two...

No, he was totally out of control. I reckon he was doing about 50-60 before braking a bit and a car pulled out from the right hand arm of the roundabout across him and hit him in the side which sent him towards me. I was next to a car in the inside lane on my arm. The keep left bollard went over my head and landed on that car's roof. He was in a bad way, the steering wheel had done him some damage to the chest even with a seat belt on. I walked to the nearest house (in the field to the right of the photo) to get them to call an ambulance and the police....they weren't keen, but I was so shaken I shouted at them and they did it. Then I got back on my bike and carried on to my girlfriends who's road was about 200 yards away. We came back out in her car on our way out for the evening and I stopped and gave my details to the old bill as a witness. They were carting him away on a wheeled stretcher by then. I gave an initial statement but never heard any more.

It’s a plant by now

Oi who are you calling crap

Put the journey into Waze. It's the most accurate satnav that I've used, but it does fuck-up from time-to-time!

That will always be my Grasshopper, took him from the bike and put him on my 4x4

Twat

Have you read your own posts?

You've got more legs than him.

What zzack said. Wouldn't surprise one bitt those are side affect Pete from the vaccines you took...your mange (probably monkeypok) and it weakened your amune system...

You’re all muppets.

I'm one of the moany bastards in the box at the side of the stage.

Tell ya what....Marcel 2.0 is one trolling MFer.

Here's miss pigy...

Long experience has taught me that in the UK you average 50mph plus however long you stop for to eat or take a break. This seems never to vary even when doing illegal motorway speeds.

Nothing! Never have!
