  2. TBF the food wasn't bad and I wasn't disturbed too badly, as I had my own room with a toilet/shower room. All the staff there were really nice too. But I am glad to be home.

  4. Wow I have got a lot of shit car park shots and not lot else. Can we have worse bike pic of the month? I’d be in with a chance A slightly better balanced version These don’t have the big orange bags on them but plenty of peeps tour with just big panniers. Probably the closest thing you’re after I was loaded up and about to leave in this one hardly a bike in it though. And that’s it, all of the not completely crap phots in Spain that I have, told you I can’t be arsed to take photos

  5. Don't know if I mentioned it, but I actually rode through two speed traps on my way home from Norfolk a few weeks ago. The first one was in the smallest hamlet ever, 30mph limit (signed, not street lit), a lady with a laser/camera thingy on a tripod on a little triangle of grass around a blind bend. I was pretty sure I wasn't speeding, but she spun the camera to film my number plate as I passed her which was a bit sus'. It was such a quiet location that there were no other vehicles to be seen. That was in Norfolk, she was done up in Policy type clothes rather than safety camera civilian gear. The second one was on the approaches to northern Sudbury (Suffolk) a little while later. Same clothing (I think Suffolk and Norfolk share a Police force) this time I was just filmed from the front. Anyway, the reason I mention it is that today is 14 days since then so I am in the clear.

  6. You're a single bloke, a Harley owner, and you're obsessed with sodomising men! What can we learn from this?

  7. ITV/MOT done for 2 years! Waiting Room......you wait for your number to come up on the screen! On the way in for the test...... And out the other side with a Pass certificate. I didn't know the tester, and he commented that it looked like a brand new bike just coming out of the showroom. So I said.....no it's not, there's a speck of dust on the back wheel! It's filthy! He just looked at me very odd!

  11. weather was more than dodgy this sunday, but having missed the chance to get out on saturday due to No1 daughter being at home, I was determined to get out despite the weather. It wasn't cold (12 deg C) but heavy cloud cover and a number of fronts moving east or north east. As soon as I'd fed the animals kids, I headed for a tiny hamlet I know on the canal cos it's very pretty and gave me a turning point about 1h30 south of here, just in the northern limits of the Morvan and in a wee hidden curve of the canal at the top of a 16 lock flight and just before the deep cut leading to the 3 tunnels at the summit. I didn't know if I'd make it that far due to the weather, but that was the aim. I took the smaller back roads all the way there dodging the rain showers, I had a mooch round when I ot there, 9 houses, 1 bloke fishing. stunningly pretty, but the light really didn't do it justice. Great place to spend a quiet week end on a boat after slogging up the 16 locks though. as I started back, there was a black storm front coming at me from the south west so I took a faster route northwards, outrunning it to Clamecy where there's a coffee/ bakery run by an arab bloke who is open 364 days a year ( only place in the area that I knew would be open on a sunday). I sat and had a coffee and a pair of 2pain au chocolat" whilst the rain aquall went through, gave it a 15 minute headstart and set of behind it. all told, about 185km, in under 3 hours riding, quite a high moving average for me From the bridge at Port Brulé looking south towards the tunnels ( odd unintended effect in the photo that seem sto have distorted the rear wheel...) looking North towards the lock flight and you can see the WHOLE village. the route went something like this:

  15. I get it ( I didn't say I wanted to do it...). I have, in my misspent youth, ridden bikes and driven boats in apalling weather conditions and often found it exhilerating, sometimes frightening and nearly always uncomfortable. The sense of acheivement when overcoming the difficulty or risk is always a morale boost and confidence building, making a hardship, even if only a percieved or contrived hardship,worthwhile. This is why people climb mountains, swim rivers, sail single handed around the world, row the atlantic or whatever. Each man finding his own challenges to overcome. OR, he could just be a twat trying to get views on youtube.

  16. Nah !! we went to view a house, a bungalow actually . We're now very excited as it's exactly what we're looking for but methinks we won't get it as I reckon it will go way over the asking price

  29. That's it, cheer me up! My best one was when I was on 10 points and got pulled for 36 in a 30, this would be about 1985. I was due a 6 month ban under the totting rules. Paid my fine sent my licence off. Three months later I got what I thought was a fancy receipt. Turned out it was a Bank of England cheque. It was my fine returned. My licence came back a few weeks after that with a letter saying they'd cocked up and would not be proceeding. I didn't get any more point after that till 2015.

  41. Good choice although I'm not so sure that you needed something quite so powerful for a bike. This is my my GB20 , I've never had to use it on a bike yet but it has started several cars with ease including a 3.5l V6 and a Ford Transit

  48. i got here today and decided i ain't going back i stripped off my bike jacket as i knew it was going to get hot I cut a few branches with my folding saw to make it a little easier As i put my saw away and got ready to get the bike over i heard a couple of bikes coming up behind me what a stroke of luck i thought, I was out on the bike for about 7 hours today and the whole time i didn't see single bike on the trails, and it was two guys i knew as well whats the odds of that, certainly made it easier to get the bike over
