It's called a spanner over here Scott, which is kind of ironic as Pete is a bit of a spanner

No, it’s Portuguese for

Well prepped SR 540 Flat-Tracker....

We met this chap (Andy) on a trail in the Peaks while Sandro was fixing his puncture. His XR650L was a bloody lovely bike

Crocks seem to be a plague to all

I thought he was more of a tool

Marcel.

Pete wouldn't have this kind of dilemma if he would just take the time to school himself on how a Wrench works!

He won't because he doesn't like people. He even broke Dell's leg when he went there just to get rid of him ................

What we need a is a poll

first port of call Jeremy Clarksons gaff.... i'll rip his lawn to fuck

i cant be arsed with maps, think i'll just go where i want .

You are of your father the devil.

By page 10, this thread’s title is clearly misleading A Honda CB500X would suit you well, Pete! Maybe a green one next?

Now i can really bore the fuck out of him and its all in one place

This is already ten pages long do we really need to drag it out anymore

They have shared some photos on FB so I suppose it's okay to post them here. And no I am not in any of them, but they were a friendly enough bunch.

never voted in my life... twat cause i cant read a ballot paper

Washed the bike, packing the camping equipment away . Sat here having a coffee now as I feel f*cked

Back to the Sistine Chapel.... For yet another coat.

Nah old hat, Pete needs a new NX500 all the difference in the world.

At least that would be more interesting than going to Albox for tea bags.

I am the baron of this manor.

Who do you think these would suit

Went to the first Britannia bike night earlier. About 20 bikes turned up over the course of a couple of hours. Some interesting characters to including a hump back and a cos play 1950’s greaser with his Thai bride. Also a profoundly deaf Lezzer, or that’s how she introduced herself Friendly enough bunch not sure it’s for me but will give it a chance and go again

Van action pic … not took any more yet … I been tinkering and cleaning it .

And a little gay...

You'd get a platinum ring , absolutely no doubt.

I don't really fancy tubed tires, but the only real options are either going a bigger and getting a Transalp or a 650 V Strom (with tubeless), or smaller and getting a CR300, or keep the current goldilocks option and stick with not too big nor too small CB500X.

Or get yourself a minimoto..... but it might be abit tall for you

Was sitting in the bedroom yesterday and a sharp gust of wind and rain had a lump out of my chimney stack. Said lump rolled down then onto the conservatory roof and the floor.

Try getting one for less now that's what they fetch. I think it's a case of not getting your hero bikes from back in the day as modern stuff is so much better in every way. Lots of old school bikes I really like but doubt I would want to live with one as my only rider. CT125 would be a lot of fun in the right environment but imagine you would want more power before to long. Problem with that sort of bike especially on the roads that you show us is that your would be forever highlighting the fact that it would be dog slow. Tell us what you actually want from a bike to narrow the field a little. All I know is not RE, Chinky or BMW. I think Ray is right get a naked bike and back to just having fun.

Gotta hard time arguing w/ that.... especially after being married to one for 31 yrs.

Nice big rack.....could fit a HUGE top box on there.

Yeh but Busa's going to give him riding lessons! He'll be ready for the Dakar after that.

That meme isn't half as smug as you're feeling is it.

I like your thinking

Or a couple of midgets.

This is what you want Pete, you don't go far and there's hours of fun to be had on this . Plus you'll probably get 150 mpg

Good advice......if I was still in my teens or 20's Ray! Wheelies outside girls' schools would see me put on the Sex Offenders Register now!

He doesn’t……he waits for the attendant.

I don’t know how he manages the fill the the Honda with petrol.

I couldn't fix a puncture wherever it happened!
