I have pass out tomorrow so I will be heading north on the little Yamaha to do some lanes that I haven't done for over 10 years and also some that I haven't done before at all. This will be my first time out since the RAC debacle so I'm hoping for a drama free day

I had a good ride out today, I need to look at the video footage and see if the lens fogging is cured. It wasn’t too cold but a lot of roads are covered in crap which I had to be careful of given the extreme power of my bike.

You are misunderstanding, he eats out of a dog bowl.

I'm voting for Pete...those nasty pics of his croch area with a hand towel on his knob....sick bastard!

Just finish styling and polishing the qwad ....she looks amazing...tire foam and everything...

No , I forgot to spray paint the wheels ...........

A full service from @Six30 Motors then?

Mandi likes them too. Once the tub, yes she buys by the tub, is opened the lid is no longer needed.

After giving it all up the only thing i miss is the Haribo sweets, sometimes the wife gives me one of those really small bags of them which then leads to a covert search of the house looking for the rest of them because one bag is never enough

That isn’t going to be a problem.

It wouldn’t attack a man sized dog but one of those designer dogs that men of a more gentle persuasion have would be a snack.

We’ve only had the log burner on three times because it’s still very mild down here on the coast.

Put a new battery on the Mafia staff car and she fired up first go. Checked the oil, water, lights and pumped the tyres up. Ragged it around the block a few times and dragged the brakes to clear any shite on the discs. All good to go ..............

I ride my motorcycle, I know, shocking concept for you.

I got to thinking about you lot in the never ending winter of your discount tents, huddling together under a cardboard blanket while trying to keep some vestige of warmth about you in your Dickensian hovels and thought that the more adventurous of you may enjoy playing the game that is the title of this thread.It's not only a good game, its a great game and if you open a free account at Steam you can buy it online for about £3, pay your money then download it, this episode of the game takes place in Africa during WW2 where you get to shoot lots of Gerrmans and Italians and who amongst you doesn't like shooting Germans, opinions on Italians may differ but war is war. The basic premise is that you are a sniper, there's a large variety of various weapons available to you including some that I had never heard of such as the DeLisle carbine, the Tommies silenced rifle that used normal ammo for example, there are of course nearly every other WW2 rifle that you can think of, Mosin Nagant, Springfield, Lee Enfields, Kar 98k Mauser, the list goes on, there's even the Carcano of Lee Harvey Oswald fame, someone said of that rifle that it was a piece of shit and could never have been fired that fast at that distance with that accuracy and I have to agree, its a piece of shit, when you start out you have your assigned piece but as you move through the game you can swap for other rifles that you will find lying about, that's a nice feature as you get the chance to compare them on the move, so far my favorite long gun is a Russian one that I'd never heard of, a Tokarev SVT 40, what a sweet little gun, some may say that a bolt action is superior and it is but when you have a whole bunch of aforesaid Krauts and or Wops coming at you the semi auto rules, especially with the 10 shot mag, its also great in that if you take a shot and wing someone you can use that as a sighting shot and blow them away with the next slug, anyway if you need a good rifle for a long shot just grab a KAR98 and let rip, they're everywhere once you've shot enough Germans, for the record my longest shot was 203 meters, that's by no means easy and took some time to achieve. Secondary arms are also very interesting, Stens, Tommy guns, MP30's, 40's and even the original assault rifle, the MP44, when I first started playing I wasn't very interested in the secondary arms as I thought that they were piss weak but after a while I started to appreciate the MP40 as the most useful, there are others that I prefer but you need ammo and as you're fighting krauts you just help yourself to theirs after you send them to Valhalla or wherever it is that you send them. Naturally there's a large selection of pistols, you can obtain silenced ammo for them but not all the time, for close quarters work silenced is the way to go as you are usually using them where you don't want any attention, there is another Brit oddity available, the Welrod Mk IIa, problem is that while it is quiet its slow being a bolt action and its a single shot, my pistol of choice is another weapon that I had never heard of, the HVD semi auto, once again standard ammo and noise free, not a lot of hitting power but great for headshots. When you start playing the game you select your difficulty level, naturally I started on hard but each to their own, its a learning curve so if you're not someone whose played many games start on easy, this gives you the basics and a rookie opposing force, you also need to get used to the various weapons and situations that you may find yourself in, so start somewhere comfortably and work your way through it. Once you've played through it its time to up the difficulty level and this is where it gets good, there are a few levels including a custom one where you can choose all sorts of things, opponent skille form rookie to elite type of thing and much more, the more that you play the more interesting it gets and the challenge grips you, or me as the case may be, I've played this game for over 112 hours so far and am playing Sniper Elite 4 at the top level unassisted in any way, in the lower level you can get aiming assistance and the like but in the hardcore setting you have to calculate your shots, measure the distance with the binoculars (rangefinder) and then adjust your sights taking into account variations in the distance from the gun settings to the target, you can set the gun at 100m, 200m, 300m and 400m but the target may be 135m away so you have to adjust for distance, it's a very satisfying thing to take someone out at a vast distance and you get a reward when you fire it, a graphic anatomical representation of what happens when a bullet hits a man in slo-mo, a doctor who watched it said it was bang on anatomically, haha. So if you're looking for an inexpensive challenge this winter that you can play on an average PC this is it, it also has multiplayer if you want me to shoot the shit out of you online but that's for another day, here's a sample of it. Have fun.

Really

I think it would....maybe not a large dog....mine is smaller than a fox .

There's a red fox hanging around my backyard...last night it was real close and yelling or whooping sounds almost human ...had the flashlight out and it would stop soon has I turned it on...off and it would start again....have to keep on eye on my dog...deaf and old I'm sure it would make a meal out of my dog if it Gough a hold on it...

Grow up for fuck sake

Not me, I’m super nice now.

Your English is a little off as well ..............

This morning was the first time that the car windows were iced up! And we've got another night coming up with temps below zero! I hate shit like this......but it's not as if I'm able to ride the bike! Probably going to be a couple more weeks before that happens.

PSP's urban intervention teams, usually they ride in pairs to get to more violent urgent situations. You'll like their top case choice, though ...

It's all fun and games till somebody loses an eye!

That's reading a bit much into it. Just means the local Honda dealership is friendly with the city hall.

Yes, I will be out on it today.

When you play on Steam they have statistics for the various games including international and I looked mine up earlier, only 69% finished the first mission, as to my best achievement globally I'm in the top 1.5% so there's that, not bad for a 71 year old playing against much younger people, come on Bucky, three quid, have a go.

I do like the sniper elite games, have been playing sniper elite 5

Thought I was going to be clear over Xmas, but a new site order has come in........Foot Care Services in Surrey.

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

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

wtf would @XTreme and @Six30 do though

Miss America arrived yesterday and after sorting the swap and quick cup of tea Sarge headed off on the T700 for his homeland (Wales) for the night........... I had a couple of hours getting au fait with my new (to me) Donkey. First thing to come off was the O/E seat which I replaced with my 15 year old corbin......... I also fitted my sacrificial side panels as the O/E panels are too tidy to leave on and get rubbed by my luggage. Then I removed the O/E rack and pannier rails and fitted my Scaggs rack and copy pelicase...... and last job before it got too late was to fit the JNS headlight..........

Nowhere near your intelligence (or so you'd have us believe) , just wanted to point out how you choose to waste your life

I have a giant bag of Tantastics here, I’m not fussed, I’ll probably give it to a homeless person.

Gi ping pong wing ....my vietamese could be a little off ..I speak in many languages.

Obviously they see them as a useful bike to have as well!

I have zero interest in wasting my time playing video games, i'd rather be out in my cold garage doing something on my bike. BTW is there a conspiracy theory video game .........

I used to quite like a sniper type game but that was awhile ago. I think the last one I played was Return to Castle Wolfenstein so that gives a clue to the time frame. Wonder if it works on a Mac? Oh and I rode my bike yesterday and may pop out on it later if I get the chance.

Maybe Denmark and Sweden.

Kin eck Fred, thought I had a sweet tooth.
