Yesterday I thought It’s a nice day so I’ll take the bike out , whilst out I got in a race with a Harley Davidson , at first on the flat straight roads I had the upper hand and could stay in front quite comfortably then we hit the down hill straight and that’s when he over took me and took quite a lead , I thought I’d never catch up but when it came to the twisty uphill roads I was really on his tail , I had to pedal like mad but I managed to get back in front

Why wait until then i have two shocks for you now God doesn't exist and Harleys are as gay as Indians

Back at base camp

No reports just pics.. Cat and Fiddle ..

Been out on the Hornet with my youngest to run a few errands and see my Aunt. She wasn’t in so popped up to Dameralls for a sausage sandwich and cuppa and a look at the bikes. It never ceases to amaze me how many bikes they turnover in that place, I can see at least 15 used ones have gone since my last visit a couple of weeks ago. I have no idea how many new ones have gone out the door Also dropped into see my mate to give him some bits and got a pic next to his Hornet. Cheeky little 50 mile bimble about this morning.

The digs … big car park round the back , other nephew coming up tomorrow, was coming Friday but got an extra day off work .

One for @Buckster wank bank

Me and my shadow (youngest child) went to Chequered Flag bike night tonight. Had a bit of a spirited ride up there on the Liskeard Bypass. Anyway pulled into Chequered Flag and parked up and went and got a coffee and orange hot chocolate for shadow. They obviously know me Chequered Flag bike shop sell AJS chinky 125’s and old tat but I was interested to see they had a second hand biking gear section. Nothing there suitable for shadow as she is only a size 6. It was all stuff for fat blokes. Some tidy kit there but I reckon you would get better on eBay for less. After I drank my coffee the mechanic from the bike shop came over and asked if the Hornet was mine. Turns out the valve on my chain oiler had failed and dumped oil all over my back tyre. Quite a worrying moment as we had just been belting down Liskeard Bypass. Luckily for both of us I didn’t do a Busa. Actually shook me up if anything happened to Shadow I would never forgive myself. Won’t be sharing this with the Mrs. Anyway I borrowed a knife and cut the Loobman off and bined it. NEVER EVER RISK ONE OF THESE OILER DEATH TRAPS. As I was cutting it off the mechanic cleaned the oil off the tyre. Very kind and helpful chap. Didn’t take any photos until after the fact but you get the drift Some interesting bikes turned up, my favourite was this lovely old R80 BMW These guys were up Damerells when we were this morning I chuckled as a chap turned up to test drive the old green Divvi 900, which to be fair sounded really sweet even with 54,000 miles on it. Obviously been looked after. Anyway the clutch failed before it got out the car park. No sale then. Came away with a better opinion of Chequered Flag given how they helped me but still wouldn’t buy a bike there. Had a couple of chats before heading home, carefully given what happened to my tyre. Total of 97 miles for the day.

Mate, have you ever crashed a lorry full of mirrors? You don't seem to have the best of luck.

Locked up for the night … more action tomorrow

Yeh it’s worked a treat

I had the coffee and buns out ready........but I was just our neighbours gardener.

Nephew is a greedy cunt , always fucking eating

What can you conclude when you’ve seen more video of @Saul’s daughter, who isn’t even old enough for a license, than those three experienced and well travelled motorcyclists?

He has no idea what’s about to happen to him.

So, a fairly clear night was forecast for Saturday when I checked on the Friday, got my plans sorted, was going to do a Milky Way time lapse at Three Cliffs Bay, spent lots of time planning the right times and spot, tides etc, then the b'stards changed the forecast, to clouding over by 11pm, dark night wasn't starting until 11:33, damn, So I decided to set up my scope in the garden instead, just in case there was some clearings between the clouds, set up all my gear and stayed up til 4:20am, it never did cloud over, not even when I got up again at 6:30am, anyway, I managed to capture this: North American Nebula - NGC 7000 only about 2,000 light years away, too dim to see with the naked eye but visually about 6 x the size of the Moon Fujifilm X-H2, Tamron 70-300mm f/5.6 at 300mm, dew heater on, 105 frames no guiding so only 72 x 2 min frames usable, 20 darks, 20 flats and 20 bias frames to calibrate, post processed in Siril and Affinity Photo. Hope you like it, I'm knackered but ain't going to bed and wasting any of the Bank Holiday, bugger that.

Did you do a busa?

Nice little village …

I feel deceived you clearly said bike boots and these look like trainers but more Gay, one might be inclined to call them Gayners.

I think i found it on google maps Pete on the mountain between Cwmpennar and Aberfan https://www.google.com/maps/@51.6956113,-3.3744761,181m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu

That’s the gauntlet thrown down … what you have done there Clive

Don't know where you're staying, I meant the Cat and Fiddle, I went in there thinking it was a cafe or a pub.

a lad i went to school with used to sniff easy start , don't know where he is now

I can't believe what I'm going to say, but last year I was very disappointed that they serve no tea or coffee in there, instead you can have gin Would rather not having gone inside

Not for long with that annoying cunt there!

Is this what passes for a ride report now? Pictures of your nephew and a boot on a hotel bed?

Yes you have, you have dementia.

Yeh , show you in a bit , get the kettle on .

But I have to say that we still haven't seen any riding vids from you! Or @Marcel le Moose Fondler......and @Six30.

It took you a full day to come up with that?

Save money and do it yourself, there's bound to be something on YouTube about it.

It's fucking pedal, ped is foot, you know, biped, two feet, like a fucking duck, and al is a lever, to peddle is what pikeys do, selling cheap shit from door to door, ask Bucky, you may have to wait till he gets home from his second job though.

What a piece of luck for @Six30

We're not all the same......Six is English......no genetic connection to me, @Sir Fallsalot, @Renegade, @Specs, and @KAYZ1.

We didn't go round carrying cameras 30 years ago! And you're the last one to talk about cameras given your track record.

Forget my boots … Detour to CMC motorcycles , needed a new pair .. sort of

Of course, Babycham was very popular back then

Do you wear it on the bus, makes sense to me.

Hardcore shit , is what it is

It's Tequila Tuesday!....gotta be in Emmett ID tomorrow morning for Mrs. Hook's dental appointment...& the weather's improving as well.

Looks like the kind of thing a fat lad would drop on the first corner.

Those bikes, they’re funny. It’s like they’re motorised vehicles used by people to get to places, but they’re acting like people that get in vehicles to get to places,

It’s happening .. van Action
