well I set off to go see the Lac des Settons empty but was turned back by the weather. grey sky and just spitting when I set off at about 13h30. I'd planned a 4h round trip using only minor roads. I'd got about an hour in when the odd spot of rain tuened into what my mother would call "mizzle" I was pleasantly dry and warm in my gear and being alons had no qualms about riding slowly along some very greasy back lanes. The wind started getting up from the south west and the temperature started, if anything to increase somewhat. We had the first of the automn storms about a week ago and evidence of this was all over the road in places. I found one spot with a tree down across the road and had to box round it. The wind was really getting up and the rain coming down harder. It stopped being fun after coming round a corner and finding a dead branch across the road very obviously very recently come down, I decided to pull the plug and turned for avallon and fuel before heading home. coming into Avallon the back way i'd run ahead of the rain but bu the time I'd fuelled it was catching me up again so I headed North and a bit East to stay in front of the weather and ride some back roads I havent done before. I got home after 2 hours out having done about 130 km. I tried a panoramic of that shot but can't decide which I prefer

Old bike club photo from the late 80's surfaced yesterday because the guy we buried is in it he's the one pointing his finger in the middle of the photo me and the wife are in there as well

This is dangerous shit so you ballsacks just stick to going to the seaside for an Ice Cream! As always I was going in alone......with no idea of what I was going to encounter! If shit goes down in these places there's no phone signal and nobody to turn to! So if any of you ever have the bottle to show up over here you better grow a pair first! The vid tells the story...... And here's a few pics so you get a general overview! A general overview of places you'd never have the testicular fortitude to visit on your own it has to be said! The bike's looking good and going great! Now let's take a stroll around......try not to shit your pants! Yen excluded obviously......that would be a bridge too far. This is the main access through it....... Unfortunately, virtually everything's sealed up or blocked! Some buildings are still standing...... While others are collapsing.... Then it was back on the bike and a return to civilisation. Or what passes for civilisation here! Fuelled up when I got back......cost me €12.50 for two weekends of motorcycling. So it has to be doing 85+mpg which is amazing because I haven't exactly ridden gently! It's just an amazing bike......it may not appear to be much, but it's a lot better than the spec sheet suggests! And the way things stand at the moment, bearing in mind where I live and what I need from a bike, I don't see anything else out there that's a better fit for me.

Just popped out to avoid Pete.

50p gas meter , my dad painted ours red and told me it was a money box

I’ve no idea how these photos get selected but they always manage to make me laugh . Feeding a hippopotamus tequila at the Dragon Rally circa 2013.

Saw this at a gas station today… the place I am in right now sure is bizarre….which I guess is why I like it:

I’m not really into vacuums, but thanks for sharing.

This was the other one, would have all your windows running with condensation and you feeling sleepy in no time at all as it slowly starved you of oxygen although i seen these more in caravans

More Moto Club Fuckwits in my way today! These people need to learn that I've got 48bhp and I'm not afraid to use it!

Who remembers this stuff ? and the lorry delivering it

I was escorted to a cashpoint in Spain once. Here they'll do that to foreigners too, or impound the vehicle and leave you to walk home. My dad was once stopped by a swarm of spaniard motorcycle officers, pretty angry they had to catch up to him. They couldn't come up with a reply as to how he was supposed to know they were following if they were firstly hiding by the speed trap and then so far behind he couldn't see them

After the tequila the hippo was found lying face down in the mud. Naturally.

And a biro to respool the bastid things?!

Just seeing this you gotta laugh!

I absolutely get how your bike is much better than the spec sheet would have you believe, my CRF250 Rally is exactly the same. You need to phone ahead next time you're going to abandon shit, the DBM's will be sorely dissapointed that they missed you today

Seen this @Slowlycatchymonkey @Grasshopper's Ride

At the risk of being a branded a sexist pig

I've had 47C where I live both in 2019 and 2020 and it was hot, it was at least six cold showers a day hot, you just got in in your boxers and cooled down, it was to hot for beer, I had a lemon lime and bitters made by an expert, (bitters is 40 proof), it's inescapable, I can't imagine what it was like back then.

Ice on the inside of the windows in winter.

…..a house to put stuff in

Remember these fucking awful things? If you wanted to feel any heat you'd end up getting burnt! What haven't you got now?

that's a solid white line there you naughty boy! strung up by your balls here for that... ( if they see you)

This was always watched in our house. Could never understand why those to were cast as they had to be 2 of the ugliest buggas around.

Still got a draw full.

Are you still fixing the bus. @BallSack

Bugger, I missed that one as well

Hello, are you a real person

The new ones have an oxygen sensor which monitors the air quality and switches off automatically when the CO2 in room air is too high

Easy to find in the Dicktionary....its between...

Where do all the people go that used to live in these places, cities, abroad, died of plague?

i had a few of those , and also you see fewer new houses being built with chimneys

These got well used back in the 80's!

Those little fuckers run (or waddle in their case) for their lives when I show up Bob!

I used to have one of those in my bedsit

No, that’s the rest of us.

We where one of the last on our road to get a twin tub and that was secondhand.

Even 30 odd degrees is too much for me my ideal is high teens low 20s anything more than that and it's just no good

I am hoping for a re run of last winter.

And returning the bottles for money

That might change for a lot this winter Clive

Happy October Everyone This time of year works well for me. I can get up early enough for sunrises and I’m still awake for the sunsets!
