Spring tides this evening.

Firstly, I wanted to test out the photo quality of my new phone cos it's got a 100 megapixel camera! I was very impressed with the results as you'll see with the pics in this thread.....the colours are much sharper! And I also wanted to check out what my old phone was like using it as a GPS and see what adjustments I needed to make. I'm glad I didn't go too far at any sort of speed because it came loose......the Quadlock sticky pad just wasn't up to it. So I'll be putting a 3M pad on it instead, as those things never come off. The angle of the phone was pointing up a bit too much so I've lowered the angle of the bracket....so that's sorted as well. The main failure was the brightness of Google Maps on my old phone! Because despite being on the highest brightness it still wasn't bright enough. I'll have to check how I can get round that. Anyway.....here's a few shots! Water level really low now! I was impressed with the colours on these two...... My BOTM shot Bike hadn't been used for 3 weeks......started first touch of the button though. You listening @Marcel? So there you are......you can now knock yourselves out niggling about the bike, the top box, and anything else you don't think meets your discerning standards. But ultimately......I'm the one that's actually riding......and you're not!

Managed to get out for a couple of hours this morning put another 50 miles on the Hornet. This bike is a hooligan, as it loosens up. Down on Fowey town quay You know it’s coming on to high tides when they start tying their sheds down

You can almost see ghosts of musketeers past galloping along the road. @XTreme's ultra clean Honda CB500X styling high in the Andalusian mountains

He can’t reply he’s busy hoovering.

Why does this not surprise me?

They are awarded when the good husband does something before he is asked. They are banked for future credit against something of a good husband might want to do. However, these credits can also be debited from the good husband account if he doesn’t do things that he has been asked to do. .The number of credits needed for any particular thing is subject to negotiation between a good husband, and the lucky wife, These credits are also known as gold stars in some societies.

@Slowlycatchymonkey, are you still browsing through your trip´s pictures to choose the better one? @Buckster, those weekends to England and not one picture either? Did you two go to the same school?

Before and after, took me a good ninety minutes to clean it. It’s up on the ramp now for a check over.

Well that's the bike taxed and insured... £116 for the tax £256 for the insurance which is over a thousand quid cheaper than bemoto wanted for my renewal, it really boggles the mind how they can quote the renewal so much yet without even really shopping around I get a quote like this, and that was with legal aid and helmet and leathers cover which I didn't have on the old policy. Win win for me now I'll be using the bike to go to work for the foreseeable as the jag is out of mot ad it needs both intake manifolds replaced which is a pig of a job

Happy Sunday Got a new recipe to try out this morning and then the dogs need a wash n haircut. One of them found an interesting fox scented perfume to roll in yesterday and they still stink today so it’s super suds sunday for them!

If you're on a PC you can download the Irfan View app. https://www.irfanview.com/ It's free and it will open almost any image format. It also let's you convert several files at ones if you want/need. It has several other features, like resize, crop, etc... I've been using it for years. It's great.

I had a look around but couldn't see Rod Hull anywhere

you seen these to pussies @XTreme brownie points and credits for fucks sake rugged individualism and a 4 pack of Stella does the job for real men

Anual whine: I hate it when the hour changes and suddenly it’s night before 18:00

No time to ride.....but all the time in the world to post mindless shit on here! I'm sure he still thinks he's on the other forum!

so you have taken it off sorn

Giving the bike a check over for my upcoming trip in a couple of weeks time. Thought I’d do it now rather than last minute.……..oh and painting the outside of the garden walls to smarten them up and get some good-husband points in the bag.

I live 5.3 miles from the yard so not exactly a very fun commute. The only fun will be waking up the whole neighbourhood with it

That dude is nicking a barrel of beer

only when im in Town.... thats pretty tame .. normally Niagra falls

I think so, Sauls posted these type of pics before. I seem to remember him saying they’re used to it.

Looks slightly moist there, got your scuba gear?

Yes had a good ride aching a bit now and only got rained on once LOL

It’s more fun to think of it as a credit system

Probably

You should have photoshopped that top case out of it instead.

@Six30 and @Bucksterhave

Yes we know she is pregnant.

I took it to the dyno to see what it's putting out. I've done about 1300 miles on it this year which whilst not all that much it doesn't matter, I've been spending time with my family because I'm away pretty much all week and skye wants to spend all the time possible with me so I can't deny her that just so I can go out on the bike

And only ridden it twice! And one of those was to take it to the Dyno! Why exactly did you do that.......to make it faster laid up in the garage?

Come on @Sir Fallsalot , there's no entry from Wales at the moment .........

Where's your bike is more to the point?

I was only untaxed for 2 weeks and the insurance was up today so I got it sorted. Can't believe I've had it a year already

Count me in!

You are welcome to come over anytime, Bob. Warm home cooked meal and booze. ps: bring your bike washing talents.

Fury lost that .. fucking fix .

I've slept in a couple of those Chris

Fury wont fight Usyk .. he will swerve his way out of it.

@Six30......Eddie trying to get a peace of the action now!

WTF? Is that normal for that area?

So do people just stay in the pub until the tide goes back out?

@Six30 would.

Obviously it’s money … my point is it’s a farce,, fury lost that fight , and every one watching , except a judge, fury’s mrs and big John know it .

I did manage to get out for a couple of hundred km this afternoon, I rode the back roads up north as far as Nanteau sur Lunain ( long story...) had a coffee in the local boulangerie / café and a chat with the owner and then took the route nationale home. Weather was shit, windy with rain showers. I got the first rain shower about an hour into the ride and though my gear is water proof the temps dropped with the arrival of the rain so I pulled over at a bus shelter to add the thermal liner to my jacket. Heated grips and new winter gloves bought in Dijon last week, made the rest of the day positively bearable. Great wee bus stop, complete with free library!

So none of you wankers are doing anything then?
