My day has been put into perspective when a wealthy mate of mine sent some photos of the bikes he has just bought to leave here in Spain instead of having to bring his UK bikes over every time. He’s bought a Ducati Hypermotard 950 RVE with knobbly tyres, a Baptista WSB replica (or is it the real thing?) and a scooter to ping around on. That saves him bringing his Ducati Panigale, BMW 1250 GS Adventure and Honda CRF300 Rally over every time…………fer fucks sake! He’s also got his own race team and races a Lamborghini all over Europe. ………… I splashed out today and had breakfast down the seafront.

Why would you post that? Honestly, nobody wants to see a pre wank pic of a man your age.

I bet she's seen much bigger ones I mean the scar obviously

Does @Clive know ...............

Just mention about your mate that's a web developer who you go riding with......if there's any requirement then he may well say something. And 20% under the radar is doable! Maybe @Six30 could interest him in a motor?

Not one thats been bummed to death and had a traumatic death.... it turns the meat bad.

yup, they are in the garden now ... got some nice porcelain ones now in the kitchen for him.

She doesn’t want to see that either!

not yet .... his mrs does though

Not the way I do it, just enjoyment.

I’ll ask him but if he says yes my cut is 20% of your gross profit.

whys it in a dog bowl ?

He owns a few care homes……….there’s money in death mate. He’s a proper nice bloke actually and when he’s over we go out on the bikes and he’s also a decent golfer too. Not a flash cunt………so I can’t hate him.

I think she would say you are an exhibitionist who should save those sort of photos for your Only Fans site. There must be a niche who wants to see that sort of thing and pay for it. Think of the dosh you are missing out on

reckon that will get to 20k

you couldn,t get much more minimum

saw a similar old add like that for cars the other day , one of cars was a Ford Escort Mexico , from memory it was £900... be worth a fortune now.

the problem with getting to Brittany from here is that the autoroute adds so many miles that any time benefit is completely lost. I go via autoroute in the car cos its just so easy, cruise control etc etc but its still around 7 hours. The non autoroute way by bike will be around the same time frame with less kilometers and not 45€ of péage...

I have several ideas for next summer but probably will only be able to do one of them. Tour of the cobbled roads in Flanders, Paris-Roubiax route and some WW2 sites in the Falaise pocket Off-road crossing of the Pyrenees, probably East to West Ride to Dover and then do the southern TET route back to Bristol Go to Jax Shack in France, ride trails, eat food and drink beer

Who's planning what for the coming summer riding wise? Any epic road trips in the planniing stages? I know Pedro was looking at a northern ride into Germany... The French, in their inimitable way, have maintained the practice of having what the uk call a bank holiday, on the actual day the date falls rather than on the nearest Monday. Though this sometimes give a random day off in the middle of the week, it will sometimes, when coupled with one of the "movable feasts" of the Christian calender, generate a ridiculously long wekend. It is then, a national sport, to spot these occurences and calculate how to get the most time off for the least number of days "paid Holiday". I have always said that you ca't get anything done in France in the month of may and 2024 is a blinder 1st of may ( labour day) is a wednesday so a day off mid week 8th of May ( V.E.Day) is rather obviously, a wednesday. 9th of May ( ascension) so another public holiday 11th and 12th are saturday and sunday, which means that if I book friday 10th May off from work I'll have 5 days off for a single day's leave from work. That's got to be bike time right? So, planning with a couple of mates,a Britanny trip for that looong weekend in May. Auxerre to probably St Brieuc on day 1 which will be bollox boring as far as Rennes but we can do without using the Autoroute. about 6 to 7 hrs riding I reckon. St Brieuc to Le Conquet along the coast on day 2 much less distance but very minor roads so much slower. Day 3 from Le Conquet to Lorient, along the coast but cutting across the odd peninsula to avoid the worst of the holiday traffic and pausing to visit the Standing stones at Carnac and the tomb of Bernard Moitessier at Le Bono on the way round. Day 4 from Lorient to somewhere like St Brévin les Pins again along the coast and day 5 from there home will be a simple but long days ride west via Nantes, Tours and Vierzon, crossing the Loire at Bonny sur Loire and thus home. should be about 2000km over the 5 days and I don't know if I'm physically capable of it. Gonna try tho cos its not going to get any easier with time First night is now sorted and the following are coming together, so... Bring it on!

I have been Dave........but without something decent to watch I'd probably have ended up pushing it too hard. So I've been moving about and exercising......then an episode of Cold Case!

I'm not sure acting like a teenager with ADHD is a vote-winner!

Obviously I'll be MOTY this year for my amazing contributions to the forum

You haven't got enough years left pete I wouldn't bother

Take it easy mate. Don’t rip it and make it too baggy.

Sounds like he needs a nice website to me!

If only @Slowlycatchymonkey were here to give her medical opinion!

You would be a fool not to. Z900 £15k or £16k now, second hand, imagine how much a new one would be if such a thing exists in a warehouse someplace.

phone numbers wrong !! reckon its a scam , i'll buy all of them at that money

Are you saying he is a retard as well?

Germany is on my mind, but so is Italy, no plans though and work mixed with family health might mean I end up doing nothing during summer. I have been looking at the weather in Morocco now though, and I missed out on a nice trip, there’s a lesson.

I have one for each.....and they may well be the same as yours!

I may do a jaunt out of the UK this next year, it's been a while.

Again really

Of course Marcel can he bought a fucking atv.... if that's not toty material I don't know what is

Since the op I've been watching "Cold Case" on Amazon Prime. I started watching it back in 2005 and only saw a few of the first series before moving here. Turns out it ran until 2010.....so I've got a load of catching up to do. Been great for me because I've had a reason to stretch out on the bed giving the wound time to recover.

Fuckmine, you've got a posh dog if that's what his bowl looks like

Who knew the vikings were sheep shaggers

Here she comes now,
