Is it just me seeing this …

We have a XR750 in today, it does look rather nice. @Buckster , you have my permission to copy these photos if you want a wank later

Time for a smaller bike maybe? Mandi gone off to Singapore for 10 days with work. Now going to the front room to smash some music out.

My Son Ashton, our bikes and where my father's ashes were spread at the rivers crossing on Sarn Helen A few more pics from the day

I always think of the bar in the Ruskin Arms when I see a fringed leather jacket. The bar was always swimming in a layer of spilt beer and anyone in such a jacket leaning their elbows on the bar whilst waiting to be served would flick beer from the tassels over people as they walked away. Google not only found a picture of the old bar top but a couple of pictures of someone who was in my class at school, Robert Threadgold, dead now, bleed on the brain or a tumour I heard. He's the one with the blonde curly hair.

No, they're ok

Rode to work this morning, had a site meeting, sprayed a bit of yellow paint about a bit and then had to go and get some software loaded at our Town Hall because our ICT department won't give me their password. Everyone is panicking about the move to our new town hall as there is no where to park, everyone has to come in by train, foot or push bike. Apparently one of our councillors was in this morning telling everyone that special bays are to be set aside for their use only in the surrounding streets. Good luck to them on that, even the illegal parking places are full up. Twas a bit chilly this morning, -1C according to the weather report, +3C according to my bike which seems to over read in all weathers compared to my Kawasaki which was spot on. I had my heated vest switched on and my 2 finger gloves on, heated grips set to half way. I had to turn them off when I hit town as I was getting a bit warm. Came home in thin motocross gloves, bike is now covered in white salt.

I was halfway drunk and seriously lacking sleep..here's a better one.

Ya things can get physically hard when you have a younger hot girlfriend...

You sick bastard...

Check your testicle...they might be blue...

I felt well enough to go into work today. I had to go out in the van to collect some wheels from the powder coaters in Devizes and then take some stuff to the metal guys for passivating. I feel totally shagged now, cold and my legs are shaking, perhaps I'm not over it yet

Four weeks on and i'm just about over the flu, got my energy back and feeling good, might be because i haven't worked any overtime this week and we all got a pay rise today starting from the end of last month so all my overtime will be at the new rate. As for the weekend i have to check over the marmite wagon for the MOT next week i know there's a light out and the bonnet had defrosted a bit so its now on charge, I also have to change a headlight lamp on the wife's car and there's a light out on the daughters car and that will need the battery charged as she flattened it in the week by leaving the interior light on. For Christmas i bought the XR a new clutch so i will be changing that as well and i may actually start a bike not started one since i think the end of November.

I don't know yet. The whole site is surrounded by hoarding, so can't see any nooks, crannies or squeezy spaces yet. There is an area of motorcycle parking belonging to the new hospital behind our building, but that has permit signs and is walked through constantly by the great unwashed. And by great unwashed I mean, down and outs, drug addicts, drunks, scooter riding phone thieves etc. You can see how close we are to the new hospital, that's the side of the new town hall behind the wooden hoarding. It has this side and the front which are not fenced off to me. The front is the cycle super highway, cameras watch and fine people crossing over it. There is a lift for cyclists down to the 70 cycle spaces, I am wondering how large a lift it is!!!!

Got home at 03:00 last night, after going to dinner with my brother and a friend. This morning I was on the phone for an hour at 08:30, and now feeling a little tired. It seems the weather has passed and tomorrow we should see no more rain for a few days. On sunday morning I will ride south, don't know where I'll end up, if at home or somewhere, I hope it's somewhere else as I do miss being on the bike for a couple of days of moving around.

You're just all a bunch of jealous old wrinkled scrotum....mister Paris Hilton shades..

Even though I'm getting up there in age...no need to to remind you twats..I still have the body of a Adonis...you can say it's like prince on steroids.

She needs to go to Specsavers

Is that your granddaughter?

Bucksters Jobie through the door reminded me of a story my dull mate told me about him and his twin brother when they were in their late teens, i don't think I've mentioned it here before but worth repeating if i have. They were in a night club in town and had been chatting to a couple of girls as you do, He said they were getting on great when the one his brother was chatting to started giving him some verbal and pissing him off. His brother said he had to go to the toilet keep the girls here until i get back, a few minutes after he got back his brother said we have to go, he said he didn't want to leave because he was getting somewhere with his girl but his brother insisted they left so after a little argument they left. When they got outside he asked whats his problem, nothing he said but when i went to the toilet i caught a turd in some toilet paper and slipped it into the girls handbag that was pissing him off

Takeaway pizza in Espinho, pretty decent pizza too. Three pizzas and a garlic pizza bread for 30€, outrageous a few years ago but normal now.

I just realized that within a week I’ll have been a member of the Horizons Unlimited forum for 20 years!

Probably all covered in suspicious whitetish liquid...

Not been on the bike for a month, and I'm not sure this weekend will be any different. Weather is forecast to be around 10C and cloudy, and we've had a few days of rain so the roads are still wet. Still trying to get over this virus as well.....week 3 now! So the outlook is bleak here......but I do have a lot of work to get through to keep me busy. What about you?

Don't let Six30 see this one...

The first one...figured buck would get turned on with fringed jacket like that.(it'snot like he'sgetting any with a face like that. )..the second would be kinda handy on a warm summer day.

If only it was possible to mail you my genes...you'd be fit like me.

I'd kill for 10C so I could ride a bit. No, I'll be hanging out in the house, waiting on warmer days, Gonna be awhile though...

Done.

CCM R30 with 710cc conversion and straight through pipe, longer swing arm so it could take dirt wheels

Apparently “Adonis” means fat wobbly cunt.

Let see yours mister flexible ballerina...I'm sure you'll make the lady's vomit...

Gay.

Maybe some more plumbing work and a light switch..

Who would film a shit....you deviant fucker

Yeah those ADVbummer guys were getting properly annoyed all day long, I had supermoto slicks on and kept overtaking them all day

This is what Bucksters on about And i think this is what your on about

When I had my big accident, the attending in A&E remarked that it looked like I had a bad break as my left foot was 90° to my knee. They cut my trousers and boot off and he went pale and passed out. The nurse then told me my leg was twisted 270° and bits of bone were sticking out but the good news was my ankle looked okay.

the atmosphere at home is electric at the mo, one of the twins passed her driving licence theory test missing a 100% score by just one point whilst the other one flunked it! ( lazy cow didn't think she'd need to actually work for it and learn stuff...) so she's 30€ out of pocket cos I said I'll pay for the one they pass. she's also just twigged that I'm only supplying 1 vehicle and her sister's looking like getting there first...

Spares aren't a problem you can buy practically anything for then from Germany, you used to be able (haven't checked recently) to buy modern fuel injection kits to fit to the old aircooled twins, as well as upgraded alternators and many other bits. Granted probably not from BMW themselves but there is no end of specialist support for these bikes. It's all about money and how you measure the practicality of running a 30 or 40 year old aircooled twin and how much you really want to do it.

I always had the feeling that when a nurse took my catheter out we are officially engaged. The old 'I'm going to count to three' routine (but pull on two).
