I’m sure some of you lot will have been to the Dragon Rally near Snowden in Wales over the years but I’ve just found these at the back of a cupboard and also found a couple of old photos too.

No, they’re rude and twats. Did chat with a nice lady at a local shop buying fruit and water and a dragon sticker, and a gentleman on a VStrom that was intrigued by my license plate, but apart from that they weren’t very nice. That’s becoming a theme, older people are very nice, young and up to their forties are idiots, not just in Wales though. There will be a ride report. Currently in the IOM having a drink while the rain passes, will ride around tomorrow.

I think he felt sorry for me after I told him I’d been out for a ride with you……….he muttered something about “¡Oh, ese coño galés!”

About to head back to the UK. Not looking forward to it, the solar installation isn't going smoothly, both of my sons are behaving like incompetent teenagers (even though ones 21 in a couple of weeks and the others 22), I have a pile of jobs waiting for me that are all demanding and now one of the guys is quite unwell and unlikely to be fit enough to work tomoz. For some unfathomable reason I now have Annie Lennox 'Thorn In My Side' stuck in my head Run away from you Was all that I could do Run run run run

It takes a certain type of fortitude which you clearly lack you old fart.

That's cos you're not a ginger welsh Dago ..............

Good news, messaged him this morning and he’s just replied to check my address for collection. Cant argue with that for service…….let me just check I’m actually living in Spain!

The next generation of daily visitors to our front yard....

You are a glutton for punishment you just got rid of one leach and now you're looking for more

I don’t read most of the shite you put up … who you after … I know a man that can .

Sofia's helmet cam, it's on video too, approaching Snowdonia. It's on video too, and I've just seen a little of it, will have to spend a few hours editing it into the gems, me complaining about my difficulties dealing with left hand drive traffic is hilarious but unfortunately it's all in portuguese.

I were there in 2012 as well although took the long way up. me and a mate used to do as much trail riding as we could to get there but this ment an 11 hour ride which fucked me up for the entertainment every year, i just wanted to sleep lol I missed 2013 for some reason and @boboneleg was up there with us in 2014

Went there, rode through, sunny and warm!

Wales, two days ago: loved it, gorgeous countryside and roads.

well that would do my arthritis a lot of good so i aint going

I never would have guessed

Nuffin’ wrong with that………..

And this is why even when camping you should pack a mirror to do your makeup, you're never gonna pull looking like that, well maybe but only the sort you have to fake phone number the next day

You need a nice little Honda.

That hippo was friendly though, even shared his tequila

You ain't missed much! Sitting round in a muddy field in North Wales in Winter surrounded by a load of drunken twats is not exactly the stuff that dreams are made of Clive! The only thing worth seeing up there is Portmeirion!

Do you know what, fuck it, the bike is under warranty so I’ve emailed the dealer and ask him to come and get it and fix the problem.

How can you tell if your house has been framed by a crew of lesbians?.... There's NO studs, it's all Tongue & Groove

Stop dithering on about my downpipes…….it’s patina

More chance of him being on the sauce than on the bike!

You were on my doorstep and you didn't ring my bell

Have you tried looking under the Spanish number plate to see if there's a UK one there, and do the frame and engine numbers match, a lot of bikes gone missing from here they must be somewhere LOL

Had the aircon on in the car, 27degrees in the car 28 out.. was nice n cool

Yeh temperature......nice and cool in our bedroom now.

Is it possible your ex remarried and their surname changed?

Possible but very unlikely. They all use independent systems with unique identifiers like barcodes for confidentiality. The trust I worked for used three different systems that were unconnected. Our local trust also has three completely different systems. Even when you had the person in front of you, name, address, DOB sometimes you still couldn’t find them on the system. It’s why the NHS can’t move away from paper, it’s a jumbled mess. Some of the GP services are linked but the NHS spent 6 million on a connected system that was abandoned and under investigation for wasting money!! If you knew the which GP practice group they belonged to you might be able to do it that way but basically the taxman is the only person with any reliable access.

Plenty of work around here to keep this Redneck busy for awhile... Currently waiting for compensation for a Permit drawing set I did for a local guy here....amazing that I moved 300 miles away & drawing business still comes & finds me. (2) motorcycles to assemble....2nd truck needs a fuel pump....work bench is still waiting for me to assemble the drill press I have....then I can finish my Ski's! This weather we're experiencing right now....perfect for the never-ending yard work....but NOT before I get a Ride in.

You're so fucking clueless and thick it's unreal. It's actually to trace somebody. Just about everybody here knew that except you.

Zzzac?

He fell asleep pissed up so we drew all over his face. Spent all weekend like it.

Oh it’s definitely going back in to be sorted. The other thing I’ve just noticed is that the ignition switch sometimes doesn’t want to turn and not only that I can pull the key out while it’s running! Can you imagine that fucker coming out whilst I’m doing 120klm/h, I’d never find it.

Sounds about right

Would you believe it! Just wheeled it out of the garage in preparation for collection and the fucker started no problem whatsoever! FFS……maybe not a reg/rec issue then? Possibly a dodgy ignition?

Been there (several times) as a ex neighbour (years ago) had a caravan in Porthmadog, Went 3 times, never saw the top of Mount Snowden, as it was always pissing it down and foggy.

Fuck me, they’re on their way now!

Well I’ll see what they’ve got to say, messaged them this morning.

New bike......that's the difference!

Not necessarily, the BSA came with 2 years cover including recovery.

Could be months before that happens, you are in Spain after all

Persuaded the Super Light to fire up and headed out for a bimble with a friend on an 888 SPO. Back to the '90s! Beautiful weather and between the ride and a conversation we had I decided the SL is NOT going to get sold next spring. During this stop I got a text asking me to take some photos at a weddding that evening but before that my wife got us tickets to a show. So a busy day for me. Ok, fine, this all happened yesterday but I'm slow to post and who really cares when anyway?

How was I supposed to know where you live, dude? Could have used some hospitality too, really, if only for a cold glass of water as it was warm and boggy outside.

Reestreno have got a couple but they're the earlier ones with 17" wheels. Everybody always says the 500X's are small (and in terms of cc they are) but it was surprising to see how much physically bigger it was than the FZ6. And not much different to the Tracer!

I’m hoping they will collect it, they had no problem collecting g the z750 when I had the fuel tank problem. That was unrideable and so is the Fazer.
