Boating to the UK now, just had a nice prosciutto and cheese sandwich and will enjoy the view for a while. If I get drunk tonight the plan is to sing songs in a piratey way.

I'll add a bit about Rugby here! Bet you didn't know that I met Gareth Edwards many times in the mid 70's cos he worked just down the road from me in Dynevor Engineering in Neath. Used to see him in the cafe on Windsor Road at lunchtimes. Really nice down to earth bloke he was!

I got the leg of my jeans caught on the footpeg, i ended up under the bike, but glad I was only doing 1mph.

I was given a hours pass. when I was in my teens this was a 10ft wide river.

Always the doom mongerer isn't he, I think we should all move over there and give him a fucking heart attack, he'd end up moving back to Swansea

I've ridden a few lanes around your area @Clive , you've got quitea few UCR's (unclassified county road) and byways heading towards Retford, you've even got one going through part of Sherwood Forest.

Well im stopped at the stockyard tonight ready for a 4am start tomorrow, across to Droylsden to tip then pick up Manchester to Hull and a local Hull pickup and drop off then hopefully run home empty and a reasonable finish time

She absolutely wouldn’t be, and I wouldn’t put that bike through that. We left the Triumph parked on the town and I gave her a lift onthe GS. Good thingI did,too, we went to see a lookoutpoint that was supposed to have 1 or 2km of smooth dirt road to get there but I took what looked to be a more interesting path on google maps and ended up climbing a good 15km on quite steep and sometimes loose trails. It was quite nice with great scenery though.

I felt sure @XTreme would beat you to that Dave .

I've done that off road but with under growth trapping my foot on the peg but Mandi's done the trouser leg thing at the last fuel stop before the channel tunnel, in front of everyone. No damage other than pride thankfully.

Stop it.

Yep, it's always the silly one that catch you out. I fell of one of my previous Donkeys in Rownham services at 07.30 in the morning , it didn't realise that I was frozen and couldn't pull the brake in , I came to a halt with feet down and then just fell off

And 5'5", you fat cunt.

You keep referring to yourself and your situation all the time and we all know that time has long gone its getting boring. Slowly is stuck on the 90 day rule because she doesn't want to move to Spain permanently so is only a visitor, if she did want to move there permanently she would be one of the ones that could and she probably has the 500k kicking around or could run a business from there. For normal people like me and six we would have to apply to enter the country for work and pay taxes like any other Spanish citizen. All that's changed is you cant move there and bum around anymore same as any other country and that's a good thing. The way your talking there is a total ban on all UK citizens to move to Spain since Brexit and there isn't, you now have to apply and be vetted just like you do with every other country in the world some will meet the criteria and some won't and that's it.

After tonight's run I have decided to keep the scoot......did not fancy a trip to Wolverhampton anyway, they talk really funny down there.

Are they big enough to get my truck down and are there prostitutes for me to bludgeon to death on the way

125 cc will be fine, don't listen Billy Big Balls with his huge 500cc monster

1......I ride alone (my riding buddy (occasionally) is wrapped up with his touring buddies lately) 2......I rarely ride, and when I do its only at most 10 miles from home. The majority of local roads are are 30, 40 or 50mph limits, I have never been on the motorway with the scoot. 4.....it will be something to do, the scoot is in such good condition that all I can do is wash or polish it, at my rate of milage it will be 2024 before it needs a oil change. 5.....Cheap to tax and insure.

Back in July were trail riding in a French forest and it was 38c . I had drunk all the water in my camelbak so as soon as we got to the next town we dived straight into the nearest supermarket. We bought a pack of four Solero ice lollies and some cold water, Jim went to walk back outside and I stopped him. We sat on some display garden furniture , stuffed the ice lollies and drunk all the water while sat in the lovely air-conditioned supermarket. Only after we'd finished everything and bought some more water for the camelbaks did we go back outside and get on the bikes.

Is that Busa and Pedro?

I am going out!!! To Farmfoods.

I’ll be in the UK when Portugal faces Wales!

I do what ever the fuck I like … , I’ll just come over on a dinghy and give your details when I wash up in the shore …

I think Fred’s point is it’s not the end of moving to another country fullstop which is how you tend to make it sound every time you bring up Brexit. There are visa’s and exceptions made like for elderly dependents, the nonlucrative visa or many other solutions that certainly aren’t as easy as waving your EU passport and going where you like but it’s certainly not the end of immigration.

I know there is/was some UCR roads around here, but with me always been on road bikes/scoots I never bothered looking for them, Retford 45 mins from here.

He’s not even under 16 stone.

Why do you keep pedalling this shit if he wanted to move to Spain he could if he meets the right criteria same as anyone else outside the EU could.

No they look like two typical harley owners

Yup … and not been bummed by a midget dago , so I’m in the right part .

I'd have no probs with a 125CC for offroading, but I think I'd feel pretty vulnerable on the road.

The scoot will do 85mph flat out, but I do most of my riding at 60mph at the most. Had no response to my (cheeky) offer as yet.

Yes, not a lot happens on the forum but still lots of get togethers. Lowflyer (John) is 70 so lots are making the effort to celebrate with him.

You don’t watch a lot of boxing do you

I wasn't going to bite on that one! Too obvious!

It's all a bloody farce Pete, I stopped watching boxing a long time ago . Most of the contests have an inevitable ending, especially heavyweight , there are no real proper fights anymore. At least Rugby isn't boring, you can try and predict the outcome but you're never sure who will win in the end.

Sweating like a pig here, just been in the garage putting the luggage on the bike ready for an early start tomorrow. It may be a 'suck it and see' situation tomorrow as my back is complaining already. Que sera, sera ..................

Did you take @Sofia down that track ?

We've got all over our cars this morning as well .

Same here, except it's a hire car so no chance of getting washed

I’ve never fallen off the BSA you senile wally!
