What if you are god itself? If your consciousness is just floating around in the emptiness of cold eternity and you’re just keeping yourself entertained with a dream? Anyone could be god, and everyone else’s reality would be be a byproduct of someone else’s dream? If I’m god, why would I create an old Citroen Berlingo to be parked right outside the door bothering me right now? Am I punishing myself?

Well that got abit tight..... that truck should have not been in there.... but i managed i tipped the load of stone where it was sat in the pic then extricated myself the way I came in

I just realised that I have been trail riding for 45 years, that means I've done 45 years of getting bikes filthy and then washing them only to get them filthy yet again ...........

Out and about with the Dear Boy. Got my walk in before the rain comes.

But I've got this as a backup

No point, I already have the pinnacle of motorcycle excellence.

Only if I win the lottery mate! The old FZ6N is going to have to see me through next year at least…………anyway, as Ogri says, “it’s not what you ride, it’s how you ride it laddie”.

If you go to Los Pinguinos and it happens to be a cold year there will be no shortage of cold, snow and ice and overall misery. I have never felt the slightest curiosity about it

This one should last me another 20 years.

Went out on the ebike this morning with a couple of the guys from the group. It was a glorious morning. We clocked just over 40kms. It has clouded over now and is slightly chillier. Forecast is for some high winds over the next few days, but no rain. We really need some rain here now. We get the occasional shower, but we've not had any appreciable rain here for well over a year now!

Clearly they haven’t

I have to laugh at some of the comments you usually get on the Facebook group after the rally, things I've read people complaining about are, the campsite was muddy, the campsite was too wet, it rained all weekend and there was nowhere to get out of the rain, the rally should have been cancelled for safety reasons, there was no hot water the food was shit there were no showers, there was no food. The whole event is advertised as as an extreme rally and the conditions you can experience when there are well documented over the 60 years its been going, yet these people still turned up and rather than accepting the rally is not for them and moving on they go on line and blame Conway MCC because it's not their fault they turned up to a rally in February unprepared and got wet and muddy thick fuckers

This is not religion, it’s philosophy

I’ve done the Dragon Rally a couple of times (2012 and 2013) and that’s enough for me. I like camping but fuck getting cold and wet nowadays. Some of my mates still go every year which seems pointless to me. There’s a rally north of Madrid in mid January (Los Pinguinos) which is supposed to be good, might give that a go one year.

Yes, I do a bit, completely out of the question now since I split a vertebrae 18 months ago, only gotta sneeze wrong and I'm in trouble. I really do need to get out on the scoot more though, it's a capable and nippy machine.

Well you should have seen what he turned up in when we met up last year it was a top of the range fordrarri van with mind the children on the back and the mister whippy tune blaring

Six on the Epstein list? I thought he invited celebrities.......not iffy second hand car salesmen?

Some nature has come to visit for the Winter again, about half the size of a thumb

Can’t see myself buying anything in 2024, nor really wanting to.

I can't really see me changing a bike next year. My boss really, really wants a Desert Sled so I could sell mine to him but I have absolutely no idea what I'd replace it with (if anything) .

Good point Pedro, I’ve had a word with myself and given myself a good slap for even considering it in the first place.

And we have too much......several roads around here were impassable yesterday. Says turning dryer and colder here for the next week. I was thinking of going a short ride at the weekend, just to Asda. ...May not bother if it's freezing.

Managed to wash the Beta today as well first dry day since last Saturday's ride Just checking things over ready for this Saturdays ride after which it will be filthy again

I finally managed to wash the Yamaha this morning . I have repositioned the headlight bulb (I had mounted it upside down ) and isolated the side stand switch . Anything else will have to wait as I have to collect Paolo from college in a mo. This evening we are out for a meal to celebrate my niece's birthday and tomorrow we are off down to Weymouth for the weekend ( should I have waited for the weekend thread for that bit ?) .

About the same temperature here, not a cloud in the sky......I may wash the car, I think it's red under the muck..

I'm not what you'd call woke Pedro, I'm not offended easily

Overcast and gloomy here......and it's getting colder in the day now!

It was to change the subject matter....it sure worked didn't it ? The lord works in mysterious ways...Buckster will be along shortly to clear everything up.

I've got nothing planned because I still don't see anything that's a better fit for me than the CB! And if it's still with me in July then it'll be the longest ownership of any bike that I've ever had! What about you lot? I imagine @Skippy will be on the hunt soon!

We wouldn't be in this situation if @Six30 had got the mod gig

I didn't buy it, it was on behalf of Buckster something to do with his choir boys or so he said, I was just his middle man.......

idiot

probably keep bmw for this year

You got a pineapple up your arse ?

Some people, https://www.instagram.com/reel/CzWKS8gLpq1/?igsh=MGVmM2U1NzU1OQ==

Only had my bike for 3 months, no intention of changing it. Exactly what I wanted.

The list of bikes I would like to own in the future is long....some of them are in the realm of fantasy But most far exceeds my finances........so for now the Daelim will have to do.

Faro is bigger and in the summertime, there’s that.

It's most likely a retirement village for conspiracy theorists and other nut jobs ....................

Was there a sale on for Ruskie hats ?

They still wouldn't get it even with a book

Yes and the virtual pictures

Looks cracking @Saul

Not all the Home guard were comic, over 1.7 million of them by the end of WW2. Manned Anti Aircraft batteries, Coastal Batteries and Bomb disposal. 1200 killed on duty. Not all like Dads Army.

I try to rationalise things. If something doesn't directly affect me, then I try to ignore it. I see people getting worked up about things that are very unlikely to affect their daily lives. The media are very good at manufactured outrage, running stories that are designed to get various people hot under the collar and it seems to be very successful. I try to look behind the story and work out what the agenda is! A lot of these stories are just a distraction, designed to take people's attention away from something else that is generally more likely to affect their daily lives! Anyway, getting worked up about things that you have little control over isn't good for your blood pressure!
