Another Saturday spent travelling around the countryside smashing a small, hard round object towards an impossibly small hole in the ground. And drinking afterwards of course. ️

It’s almost as if they’re tired of a certain brit pestering about crf300 …

You live in Spain … what was you expecting , polar bears and penguins in the summer

I'm going to Neath to vivsit a mate this morning. While I'm there would you like me to get you anything @XTreme A daffodil, leek , a lump of coal, a jar of sentimentality ?

I went to Neath Llanelli today to see a mate. He recently had a heart attack and while they processed him in Hospital he found out that he had cancer on his kidney as well Anyway he looked in surprisingly good form and showed us what £250,000 gets you for a house in Llanelli. They moved from Bristol last year and now have a lovely 4-bed house there which would cost £480 - £500,000 all day long in Bristol. Tomorrow looks like a complete washout but looking forward to Sunday (my wallet isn't) as we will be having a family meal for 16 of us at a local resturant as my son is 30 years old next Wednesday.

So far the breakfast of sausage n beans with mushroom omelette, the seafood boil and the cheesecake have been good, worth looking forward to eating. The meatballs in gravy, no, not awful but not something I’d look forward to so that’s out. This one ‘Bodged Fajita’s’ is a definite yes. Again small amount of ingredients so it’s easy to carry and make and there‘s less waste. Missing from the pic ‘el paso’ fajita seasoning and sour cream, sour cream is not widely available in Spain, however they do have creme fraiche and there will without a doubt be beautiful lemons to sour it. I did two versions one with already cooked Swedish meatballs because I was concerned about the chicken version solidifying into one lump. I needn’t of worried they both had to be broken up minimally after cooking in the kettle for 40 mins at 95 degrees. Missing from pic the ‘El Paso fajita’ mix Forgot to mention a hefty chunk of butter went in The meatball version, the meatballs were quartered before cooking. The chicken version, released a lot more liquid but was somehow still just as good flavour wise. Happy with that because spring onion, peppers and chicken are available everywhere and it was extremely easy to put together as well as being food to look forward to. The tasting panel wolfed 12 tortillas worth in a very short time leaving the bowls empty and gave both the meatball version and the chicken version a big thumbs up.

Had a lovely ride back from Clevedon Motorcycles. It really made up for the crappy bickering the boys were doing. The motorway looked busy on the way up so I came back on A and B roads. Got a bit of the devil about me on the the A370 as some guy was keen to catch up and then hung off my back wheel in an annoying fashion. I thought I wonder if I can lose him on a Himalayan? It’s obviously a slow bike but I have the advantage of being in front and if I ring it’s neck I think I might.. no don’t be stupid.. wait.. what’s happening.. my arm has been possessed.. stop twisting the throttle… mwahahaaaaaaa

Tomorrow we are heading back home from our family holiday away in great Yarmouth. It's not been a bad week, all 3 kids have enjoyed themselves immensely. Back to the daily grind on Monday

At the moment i'll be doing whatever i'll be doing this weekend, I have no plans and nothing but the usual long list of chores to do that wont get done, i'll decide when i get up in the morning and go from there

Just trying to envisage it with a hulking great top box… mmm… yep.. there it is

Either helping the boys with the decorating or murdering the pair of them. It’s 50/50 at the moment

Dipped out of helping the boys do the decorating today as they started bickering hard over where to put an armchair and totally pissed me off. So I’m going to pick up the Himalayan and go for a spin before tomorrow’s atrocious weather arrives and drop off a birthday prezzie for a friend who’s 80 today.

But it might be drizzling at some point on the way or too hot or too cold, the clouds might be going the wrong direction or he won't pass enough dago midget bumholes on the way to get his fix,so I'm afraid riding his bike to said dealers is out of the question

As everybody has been having so much fun trolling on this one......here's the full story! The Honda dealer in Granada posted this pic......... .....saying that the CRF300L was finally in stock! I posted on their page to confirm that they were in their Granada store and they said yes and to contact them on Whatsapp. So I did, and asked what the CB would be worth as a part ex (the bike came from there) and enclosed pics. And waited! And waited! After 3 days I messaged them again...... ......their reply was that they're waiting to get the valuation because it takes time. That was three days ago and still nothing! The annoying thing here is that they prompted my initial interest with their announcement on FB.......then when I express an interest they can't be arsed to do anything! I also contacted the Honda dealers in Murcia and Almeria........and those lazy Dagos won't even answer mails or pick up the phone. It amazes me how some of these Spanish main dealers manage to keep going! The only exception I've found so far is Rafa in Vespacito No Me Corras......he's really on the ball. But he's a Suzuki/BMW main dealer.....so no use for a CRF.

There’s a ride report incoming if I survive the next couple of day’s heat, you might need to learn Portuguese to read the culture parts but here’s today’s pictures for this thread and the one for @yen_powell

Today I escaped and rode maybe 500km, mostly twisty mountain roads. Now finishing a long day having a proper meal and drinking red wine served on a clay jar! Two clay jars!

More heat......but tomorrow looks a little more reasonable. However, I've got to see a client in Baza tomorrow morning......then the wife wants to go to the shops. Early Sunday morning may be a possibility, I'll just have to see how it goes. What you doing?

Yes, I believe mine is

That will be to tall for your witch your bad knees and hernia and you being vertically challenged .

Government just announced that gay men seeking partners are to get extra money .. knobseekers allowance . @Buckster filling in the form now

Some hernia cream

Have you tried riding to the dealers and present yourself with your bike ? You've obviously still got an itch to scratch with this bike so get over there and get a deal done.

Some hair dye?

The neighbour to your kids’ uni flat drives a McLaren

Keep it, @Marcel, it’s only money… 0s and 1s on a computer somewhere. You may use it to scratch that performance / small road itch sometimes.

Plus every ride report is about how it’s perfect 100% for his riding!!??!! You’ll never be happy unless you get another GS, @XTreme, it’s the danger element of maybe getting stranded and dying that’s so addictive!

Well stop writing in Dago midget code not everyone understands it

It's been up on the axle stand to clean and lube the chain, then a good polishing! Looking pretty decent at the moment I'd say!

it Friday.. how much did you have to drink ?

Big Gay twat

I was hoping we'd get a break but no bloody chance!

I thought next week was supposed to be a bit cooler (low thirties) but having checked the weather forecast it seems not. Still going to be as hot as hell so I doubt I’ll be venturing out on the Fazer.

A 200 mile round trip in 40c temps isn't something I wish to endure Bob.

Just got the bike fuelled and washed......first time since mid June! Took €7 to fill it to the brim. Just got to wait to wait for this wall of heat to lift now! Fat chance of that according to the forecast though. What you say @Skippy?

I like Neath......worked there for 3 years 1974-77. Neath girls really go for Swansea boys cos we're a bit slicker than the dumbass blokes there. Thankfully wife number one never got wind of any of it!

That's what he really meant

One for @Marcel’s wank bank.

My Google Maps timeline for July looks a bit different to normal!

I bought somewhere nice I can sell easily if I need to

66 bikes in 52 years you thick twat!

Your shit at maths how can you be 66 in 52 years when your already 69

Don't make him laugh, his stomach has been turned inside out ....................... and not by the Moose

I'd bet you change your shoes each time it's been raining too, and it's not just you, I just don't understand anyone who changes vehicles often

Get yourself a ZRX1200 and it will last you 22 years at least, and when you get bored with it get another one but a different colour.

A year......that's a long time for me! Cars get replaced when they finally expire......or in the case of the UK rot to bits.
