Why would I need a different bike? My Harley is the pinnacle of motorcycling, it is simply the best motorcycle ever made.

On my way, first stop after one hour for the morning espresso

Harley owner for sure!

Quiet on here tonight, seems to be ever since that bike appeared on the home page

I was just off Fishguard quay today, pity i was working though perfect weather for sitting in a beer garden

The Douro train, with a Diesel locomotive as it goes through places where it’s not practical to have electricity. The historic steam one this replaced still works for tourists too.

How? You went on a different bike?

Left to inner Portugal for tonight, then two nights in Spain near Santander, then the ferry

This is a photo op! As I was riding past the train chugging along the other side I stopped just for you:

The electronics are awesome on the modern bikes until............................. they go wrong. Then it's game over for your average Joe (joanne) unless you want to be fleeced by main dealer prices

Douro wine country, some fine riding here.

Says the bloke who has to travel to a Brit stronghold to get his English tea bags.

No problem , there will be hundreds of new members soon. All with superior viking genes ..................

I can see a MOTY in your future Pedro!

His son is currently floating around on top the FPM ..................

It's pete before he had the op

I have TOTY in the bag. Trailer of the year.

Another week.......and now we're only 3 months away from TOTY, MOTY, and BOTY! The hits just keep coming!

Tank of the month.

Answers on a postcard please.

I have been loitering on here today.......been nowhere........done nothing......nothing to report.

Wyll you guys were busy wanking yourselves...I was out riding again....with my all american cruiser...never had so many compliments on the bike..mostly from harley owners....funny cause the only see the bike from rear..

Hey watch it...it's not a Harley.

Not seen no midgets … I don’t put my self in dangerous bumming situations … or any bumming situation

I read about the red alerts issued and saw some of it. Pretty bad. I suppose I should email my landlord in Madrid and ask if he’s ok? Isn’t your son in Madrid? Or was is Barcelona? can’t remember!

I don't live in those places though.....it's get my tea and get the fuck out!

haing had the bike ot of action for 10 dqys qnd then a dose of covid hqving me " persona non grata" in my own bloody house. I pissed off for a ride today. 400 odd km over about 6 hours or so, they'd been harping on about the Champagne grape harvest starting today so I thought I'd go have a look, well I saw absolutely no grape harvesting going on AT ALL. In fact I saw almost no one at all, the whole time i was out... brilliant It wasn't untill I was nearly home that i realised the camera had been used last by daughter No2b and she'd obviously been smearing he fingerprints all ove the f'kin lens, so the photos are shit. This is at Romilly sur Seine, and was the first tank into Paris with the Leclerc 8th armoured division and the FFI on 24th August 1944. I stopped for Lunch at Epernay, cut across east and south to Vitre le Francois where I fuelled up and had a quick chat with a bloke on a Honda CBX, he's had it from new, bought it 26th August 1980... it was pretty clean, but obviously ridden. Legendary machine. Champage? Here y'are, Pick yer own... weather got muggy as the afternoon wore on and temps up into the 30's so I had a lot of rehydration pauses, in the shade.

Well all the females in the family were off to some Gymkhana today and I had planned to do next to nothing so I rolled out of bed late at 8:30 and had a look on my phone. There was a message from last night saying if you want to ride up to Kitt Hill for breakfast meet us at 4Turnings garage at 9:00am. Panic stations as Louis at Kitt Hill do a Killer breakfast. Shit, dressed, teeth and I made it with 5 mins to spare. I met up with two mates one on a 1986 BMW R100 and the other with a 1973 Triumph Bonnie. They gave a lovely sound track up to Kitt Hill, 30 miles or so. When we got there it was the start of a Classic Bike meet which was a complete surprise to us. We got our breakfast orders in sharpish then sat and watched the bikes arrive. It soon got much busier I loved the cam gear window on this Duc Can you spot what’s odd about this lovely old R100C ? I loved this old Sunbeam. The guy riding it was just as old and scruffy. Cool dude though. Spot the ignition switch on this Cotton. I am guessing there must have been 100 bikes or much, lots of modern Triumphs, Harleys and Sports Bikes but I only photographed what I was interested in. Afterwards my mate on the R100 had to go home to let the dog out, single guy. My mate with Triumph suggested that we go up to Dartmoor for a ride. It is stunning up there and of course I never thought to photograph any of it. We did stop in Princetown for a coffee overlooking the Prison. Actually, although it sounds grim with the Prison and all, Princetown is a very nice little town. We then headed up across the moor to Chagford turned around and did a sort of X shape across the moor and back. Great day and not planned at all but lots of fun. Couple of moments when my mates Bonnie didn’t want to start but with some swearing and a few kicks it came back to life. Of course I took the piss with my reliable Honda. It’s always the unplanned trips that are the best. Now off to apply more after sun to me head.

The front end is from a later model R100. The wheel and Brembos give it away.

Where else would a bare bummed barbequer rather be?

Looks like Hurricane Gammon to me!

Look at this fucking idiot , it’s up for £2995
