You fucking idiot. You should have got her to make some sandwiches before you left for the hospital.

This is Tata, in Morocco: Bit warm

Keep that truss buckled up tight, you don't want anything shifting!

You just don't read the posts do you

That annoying cunt is living the dream Clive!

Peak District .. for a change , got a new set up for van , all will be revealed

I've got a fair size inside leg but did hit the floor on the DRZ a couple of times as couldn't quite get my feet down as I liked. Think that's happening here coupled with the incline. No prob with the old XLs though.

Twat

Next week I think … when I get back from more van action .

Why are you here? This is a forum for motorcycle owners.

Bikes went this morning ….

The bike was washed on Sunday so this morning was polishing and then clean and lube the chain. I get back from NL late Saturday night and the temps on Sunday are forecast to be around 40C. So I doubt that it'll be going anywhere for a while.

On route to the ferry, sausage and chips in Wickham

Just watching a video of a TRF outing on the weekend with some new to the trails riders that poor Norden and brand new and the guy at 7:20

shut it , always had good weather there , dont curse it for us.

I know mate, a basic schoolboy error. Won’t happen again.

I am sure he would have benefited from your gravel trap experience.

Excruciating. Found myself saying out loud good boy, stop looking down, keep up momentum, no? ok no then.. donk.

Spent all afternoon in the hospital with the Mrs. She was in excruciating pain and I suspected her kidney stones have flared up. She ended up on a drip for a couple of hours and feels better having been dosed up to the eyeballs with antibiotics. I even had to cook my own tea.

Buen viaje Bobunapierna

There's another pot of pens down the door but i can never find the right one when i need it they all dry up LOL

I use a very similar bag for flights @XTreme, but mine is a KTM bag . So far it hasn't broke down once ..........

Doubled the value of the car now Clive!

Got a 2nd hand switch off of Flea Bay........£12.

Preparing everything for the NL trip! We leave the house for Alicante at 5AM on Wednesday morning.

Got out of bed at 5:30 this morning to get to a site in Tenby to disconnect a valve the people I’m meeting were a hour late so that’s pissed me off to start. Luckily the valve turned out to be a plug in job undo four screws and it’s unplugged now I’m sat here waiting for these two numpties to fix it but I don’t think they have a clue what they’re doing not often I get an easy job

Could’ve been similar for us last night as our very nice Belgian neighbours let their place to a Spanish family who then invited at least a dozen more with four dogs between them. Continuous banging euro-pap tunes from one of the cars which they turned up loud enough so they could rave around the pool which is on the other side of the house. Because I was in pirate mode yesterday I was all for asking them ‘politely’ to turn the music down but I was persuaded by the galley maid to video it and send it to our Belgian neighbours. Worked a treat, music went off within a couple of minutes. Apparently our Belgian neighbours rang one of them and told them to turn the fucking music off as there was a convalescing pirate next door. Had a few dirty looks this morning as they shuffled around the garden, a few heavily slammed car doors too. One of them caught his fingers as he shut the drivers door………. laugh? I nearly shat myself.

When do you get the new one?

I just watched this again Fred......and it's pretty painful to watch. I don't aspire to be a proficient offroader, and thankfully I know my limitations. I'm not sure some of those guys do though. They keep falling over when they're not even moving! WTF? If they're novices why aren't they on something like a CRF as one guy was? He must have been pissing himself at those guys struggling with those big bikes.

Absolutely no planning at all going on there, and a lot of stopping specially dictated by other people.

Just inexperience

looked like a sniper up on the grassy knowle got him

The wife is taking one of those cases on wheels and I'll just be taking hand luggage for my laptop and any other odds and ends which don't go in the big case. I was going to take one of the backpacks I've got but then I found this......a freebie from David Jones Honda Centre in Shrewsbury when I bought a new Transalp 20 years ago. Never actually used it before.......but it's a decent size, much more space than a backpack. And it fits in with the Honda lifestyle of course!

That would do for me Bob…….must get another dirt bike of some kind to tick the Stella box. Maybe something very unsuitable……….errrr maybe not a DR600S though

A few years ago he said he wanted to have kids, preferably a girl and she'd be just like me. I hope he get's his wish, it'll be good payback for what a pita he's been over the years

My brother and his wife had their first baby this morning. So I'm an Aunty for the first time. Weird!

Last sleep in my own bed tonight for a while, the joys of the tarp and the bivvy bag await me

On that last video what was the weird whirring noise? Will the gay Honda to spill its guts in 10 days time? As much as I really wouldn’t want to see that happen I kind of do as well.

more like that train in the thomas the tank engine stories who refused to come out of the tunnel cos it was raining...

It's the really noisy night of the neighbourhood fiesta tonight......wailing Dago music till 6AM. Just looked and a bunch of guys are at the beer tent, with their horses tethered up there! They'll all get bladdered and then get their horses to take them home!

If I was there I'd be asking you for employment but I've hardly done any real spannering for a good few years so I'd be alittle rusty

Sell it to @XTreme , he's ace on the spanners ..............

I know the Nurburgring properly, in a slow car. The level of track knowledge it takes to do those speeds with the control they process on such a long and varied track is nothing but awesome. It takes repetition and obsessive learning, it obviously takes balls but from the brain it’s a lot more training and learning than being mental.
