Remember Pete that you can delegate a task but not abdicate the responsibility for it………you work-shy cnut.

Start prepping for a week w/o the missus....she's leaving Wed. for her hometown (Emmett ID) to sit with her 12y/o grand-daughter while her son & daughter-in-law pay a visit to Nashville TN. She's making me some of her kick-ass meatloaf for me to survive on while she's away. Had to run off 7 deer this morning outta the backyard....keeps her dog from getting beat up by one again....gave that dog a concussion & a coupla staples in her head last time. That dog thinks she's 10ft. tall & bulletproof....she's a Chihuahua/Italian Greyhound mix & can run like a gazelle.

It a age thing. Mine is my inner ear problems, my wife just says "What the fuck are you doing on the floor"

Think I'd be a little wary of the last 2.

They wanted it.......so let's put it on a plate for them! Then watch them back pedal with shit like....."It'll be too hot"....."I'm frightened of Johnny Foreigner"....."The midgets might assfuck me"......."XTreme will get his gypsy mates to stab me" etc etc.

If Busa was a bus driver.

I had an Octavia vRS TDI estate a number of years ago as my company car. The boot was huge and it went pretty well too! The only downside was that it didn't really like a lot of town work, so, when I'd been doing a bit of driving around London for a few days the DPF would clog and a couple of times wouldn't regenerate, so it had to go into the dealers to get sorted. Other than that it was a brilliant car. It went back to the lease company with 100k miles and still looked like new.

Many years ago me and my older brother fitted a used auto gearbox to one and didn't quite get the torque convertor alined. 30 miles down the road the noise bearing and seal failed resulting in a long line of oil on the floor before it could go no further.

I can do that, no problem. He’s also got on site accommodation and a fantastic set up (bar, massive pool, great food).

just sort me out a bike and a good price in the cave hotel... why would we pay some one to guide ..you can do it.

I have just looked on DVLA website, and the Capri (1.6 GT) is still on there!! Well sort of, last taxed in August........................1987

I would, but if your CB500 is perfect for your roads an Africa Twin will feel large and top heavy in comparison. What would you gain from one?

Nice one.......it's soon gonna be time for the blowhards to put up or shut up.

I’ve contacted him and he’s out on the T7’s today so he’ll get back to me asap with prices, options etc. Standby.

Things Pete might say

Sound him out on the full spec then......I might be able to offload these morons onto him.

Unlike Busa’s truck.

Now that's something we can all agree on!

I need to do a proper long trip, outside Wales, loaded up, to get a better feel for it. No bonding yet.

How the hell are we going to plan a trip next year knowing exactly when it's Not too hot not too cold not raining not snowing not windy he isn't busy he isn't injured he isn't in the middle of a crisis It will be a logistical nightmare LOL

Twat! You lucky a real motorcycle graces the month of Sept...and not some chi Chong made in india like the Harley.

I can't see how the DBM's would want to interfere with any of us while they've got free reign on your ginger arse

If you want a low seat comfy tourer you want a lowered GS. Handling is slower than a tall one, but as a bike to carry luggage over all sorts of roads nothing beats it. Buy a good looking late 2015 / 2016 one, it’ll be ok.

He’s trying to avoid meeting you, I fear!

She had the Ghia and no idea, sorry i'll get me coat LOL

Must be racism

And I thought our £380 month was extortionate. Our daughter wants to get on the property ladder, but in the present financial climate I doubt she will ever save enough for a deposit. Her husband doesn't help, he spends money every chance he gets.

Yeah it is, but unfortunately we are just unable to save anything due to it

And Pete can pay for it all.... put it down as expenses. I'm in if that's the case

I am not sure really, more thinking about it, an itch. Not sure if I would trade in my CB500. If I did get an AT would have to lower it. Serious off roading isn't for me. If not an AT I would think of a CBF1000, or VFR 800. More a big comfy tourer territory. I suppose I am more thinking out loud.

Btw, I totally agree

Mine was like that, but white.......the bloody thing rusted away before i had finished paying for it.

That's seriously impressive how the driver has managed to clear the stream, i'd struggle to do that on a bike

Daytona Yellow, not the best colour for a Capri imo but that's a very nice example

Agree with this. Although, my scarpa goretex mid boots have been perfectly comfortable from day one, but they do leak in really wet weather, the same as my Merrells. I've got a pair of Berghaus fell walking boots, which are completely waterproof but they're a bit heavy and make my lower shins sore after several hours walking. For the most part the Scarpa boots are my favourite, because they're so comfortable and pretty decent support and grip.

I can here that saxophone from "any which way"

I know your game reverse psychology wont work on me LOL

I don't think it would be a good idea for you to go Fred! After all, you love Britain so much you'd be emotionally traumatised not to be standing on British soil, breathing British air, and paddling in British sewage on your British beaches! And don't forget you'd come face to face with a lot of Johnny Foreigners! Some of whom are likely to understand data as well. You'd be on the ferry watching the white cliffs of Dover fading into the distance and sobbing and blubbering on Bob's shoulder like a little bitch! Don't put yourself through that trauma!

Fuck no there will be seven vertically challenged blokes with their pants around their ankles waiting for said cocksuckers to turn up if he did that

Weather is slowly changing so are the leafs....had a few mornings with frost on the car windows already....temp is OK around noon but you have to plan to be back 5 or 6 o'clock. Few pics from today. the third pic is the town of campbellton in the distance....where my Aberdeen princess was born in 1970..

I'll tag you when it's over. Or, judging by my proficiency in this vote, I'll tag @ Bruce.

At least this is making it a group effort, think of it as team building, companies pay money for this shit.

Steve McQueen did the same on a Benz 300SL during the filming of The Great Escape, being chased by cops into the film set. He must have been better than your neighbour, or more famous.

850 miles isn’t enough. He just told you it doesn’t have any torque compared to the GS, so let him forget about the BMW and awake the next morning thinking about reliability.

Her roots dumy...go back a few hundred years most of us are all from across the pond...
