Went out for a little run on the bike today, as the sun was shining, although, it wasn't fantastically warm. It wasn't enough of a run to warrant a ride report and the roads weren't the most interesting. Anyway, I went to Marseillan and then onto Marseillan plage and back home. Marseillan is quite a pretty town and marina and it's not crazy busy at this time of the year.

Why is it that every time I consider getting on the bike the forecast is shit, or it forecasts rain and when I'm doing something else there's dry weather all day? Time was that I used to go out in all weathers but truth be told I have now become a fair weather rider. The strange thing is that I don't really mind a lot if I'm on a tour or similar. No choice then I suppose. Do my fellow geriatrics also find that their riding habits are more weather dependant than they used to be? Moving to Spain is not an option!

I was out yesterday, it was cold but that doesn't bother me. Don't mind the rain if I'm already out, but don't like to go out in it.

I think i'm getting the same way. I don't mind getting soaked from the ground up but i'm not a fan of getting soaked from the sky down anymore

I said that at the end of the 70's!

Your boyfriend is a lot taller than you, what is he? About 5’6”?

I’m off to the UK tomorrow for a couple of days to sort some shit out for my dad. I bet the weather is worse there!

I know what you mean!...........I have got er, er, I have got Asda tomorrow, and Mablethorpe on Friday.

fucker should get life ... hope she makes a full recovery

If you dress up a pig has a princess..it's still a fucking pig...

No, jury service.

Just got a deal on some CVO side cases for the bike, I have to stop buying stuff.

If (when I ride ) I get caught in the rain when out, that's ok by me, but I won't set off in the rain if I am going out on a ride for the fun of it.

Had to use a bike to go to work for most of the 70's...... I've had more than enough of that shit.

Apparently, you’ve always been a fucking lightweight

No change here!

I check the long range weather forecast, iam looking at May at the moment.......

One of mine. Horsehead nebula.

They've dropped the price several times now and it's still not selling! Tells a story!

brake pads ? look to small for your bike.

I bet that makes a change! Actually, I’ve just seen the forecast for the London area over the next few days and it looks to be okay, no rain at least. Fingers crossed, I don’t do rain anymore.

Shocks on now trying to get lawnmower to start.

They are here.

Another bloody week! I've got Baza Hospital with the wife on Wednesday morning and the ITV (MOT) on the car Friday morning.

Not bad on Friday, showers or longer periods of rain on Saturday & Sunday BBC says. Daughter paid for the caravan, if we did not go we would not get a refund, so we will go anyway, it will be a change of scenery.

Mixed cold and showery this morning. Went to the meet before the off and there was a grand total of 2 of us, me on the Hornet and Martin on his Guzzi V85 the rest of them had very good reasons for not coming, I think the main one was they are puddle dodgers and couldn’t possibly get their bikes dirty I had thermaled up with several layers so all was good apart from not wearing winter gloves, but even so heated grips saved day grips saved the day Sone great views from Kitt Hill big skies from being high up On a side note my daughter was shocked to hear I was going to Kitt Hill today, turns out that where all the kids from her college go to shag on a Saturday night. Who knew Nice new small Triumph Some lovely old bikes there and refreshing to see them ridden despite patchy weather. Not my Hornet. Quite like the tail tidy though My favourite bike of the day. R90s. Just beautiful. After leaving there we went back to Liskeard and the Checkered Flag Cafe and bike shop. Great cafe but there was some sort of bike club meet there. All patched up called Widows Sons or something similar. Bit sad to my eye but live and let live I suppose, they were friendly enough even they were a bit old to be a bike gang. Oh and after the inevitable clean up.

Oh dear, was that a valve dropped. Can see that exhaust seat is gone too.

You think it is very overpriced?

It gets mobbed in the summer, Pete! Home of Noilly Prat wine!

Well mangled.

Same here ☀, done my household chores, now, carry on refitting the shocks on the

its nice here today...sunshine and a few clouds

You are quite welcome to those temps ......30c is more than enough for me.

A bit better for Saturday & Sunday now.

When the caravan is rocking, dont come knocking..... Dirtry boy @Clive...

Interesting to see how that CB500X looked bigger than the old CB900......cos that was considered physically big back in the late 70's. And that looked like a D14/4 Bantam there!
