Hey folks, just stopped by as I do from time to time and I saw this sad news about Pete. He was always very nice to me and I appreciated his honesty, sad news. Hope everyone else is well and having some fun adventures.

Another fresh one of my Sanctuary....

Few pic of my home away from home.

I pulled in into a rest area shortly after entering Vermont ..free coffee..has I was enjoying my cup of Joe and making small talk with the care taker ...a group of 4 elderly folks walk in and more small talk with them..I guess they live nearby town a few km away...one of the lady's ask if I beleive in Jesus...said yes..and she ask if I would mind if her and her husband I guess did a prayer for me...it caugh me off garde and I said yes...lol...she grabed my hand and they started praying I guess...was a little nice prayer about motorcyclist being safe wyll traveling to the rally.

Beautiful roads but can't really pull over to take pics....I'm stop at a coffee shop...running low on energy..been on the road since 9 am...75 km to make it back to the hotel....went south to Manchester...after weirs beach...

Looks like we should be able to retain the domain.

That’s how you do it and make it look shit!

Crossed over into vermont around noon ...border garde was a big indian fan...said he did a demo ride and was really impressed... The day was mostly spend trying to dodge thunder storms but luck wasn't on my side ...ran into a hail storm ..

Nice XT done up in DT livery....

My new CyberTruck showed up today!....

So much BS. Marquez said previously that he would join any team that would be able to provide him the most recent bike. Knowing that, Ducati wanted to have Martin in red and Marquez on the Pramac. Marquez behaved like a kid that never heard the word "No" and said that Pramac wasn't an option. Ducati fell for it.

Bought it, picking it up on Wednesday.

how about mikehunt.uk Fuktards.co.uk is only 75p and perfect for us lot

Is it muddy or is that all corrosion? I think that rear brake lever might be made in China!

Good to hear from you, the rumours that you were a human popsicle lost in the back of your camper on some frozen mountain are untrue then.

Speaking of XT's....

Nice one Marcel , it's as if that hotel knew you were going to stay there

Zzzak this is a ride report thread...not a argument thread with buckwheat about climate change..

@Marcel le Moose Fondler and @Buckster finally meet up …

Photoshop.

I’m never allowed to forget when I got “rumbled” cleaning engine bits in the dishwasher. You’d think I was drowning puppies in it.

Off to have a look at this Monday or Tuesday, maybe just the thing. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266847314679?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=UOc2LZYUT0u&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=3H22nf53RQu&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Sorry Fred, we had a WhatsApp group. Most are on there. I’ll send them to you on WhatsApp

The brake lever's looking better than the rest. Certainly is a mess.

Not liking that exhaust or seat. although I'd bet it'll keep your arse warm.

Fuktards.co.uk

Most of it is corrosion although the bike is definitely not clean. Admittedly this is an older model but that's what can happen if you use them all year around on our roads .

Nothing like 42° to make you forget about longing for warmth

He proves you can be one of the greatest riders, fierce and very committed, but a twat as well. Being a twat is not connected to being a genius , plus, if everyone has been telling you you’re the greatest ever since you’re 15, you’re likely to go and believe it.

Superb photos and report @Earache , what a change in temperatures you experienced

Yes amazing roads and scenery...I'll try to take some pics today...yesterday weather was horrible...

The carbs will have been gummed up, the fresh fuel just cleaned it a bit, I had an 850 Commando and if you let it stand the carbs always gummed up.

That is how you customise a bike and make it look classy as hell!

Saw a couple of nice bikes today, other than mine of course. A nice Rickman CE which I didnt get a picture of and this proper BSA.

The road snaked it's way north for about 170 miles with no stops along the way. Almost ran outta fuel but it was a fun ride....

Headed back north and stopped off to see Todd's grandfather in Safford, AZ . Nice place to spend eternity ....

A mile or two outta town and we've gone as far south as we can as we hit the wall at the border with Mexico ....

Saw this cool old steel entrance door. Almost looked like the top of an old stamped steel coffin. Very cool ...

Next day and we head further south to the old border town of Bisbee, AZ ...

Had a bit of an injury on this trip. I'd like to say it was a result of staving off a tank slapper with my superior riding skills while doing 135 mph through a tight sweeper. But the truth is a bit more mundane - I slipped in the bath tub and biffed my arm on the way down. Fuckin' hurt!

Here's a Pic for you Buckster...Richard fat arse and fat wheel..

Or, talking practical, a big scooter, like those that look like a mini goldwings. They must be great for really bad weather.

7:30 am, no better time to put together the youngest’s latest acquisition. No one up to offer helpful advice. . New home for the gecko. Just had her first paycheque so it is burning a hole.

NEVER heard of her!....

It's a page straight out of Enzo Ferrari's book, Ducati is even more cruel to riders than Honda is/was. They couldn't give a shit if the guys are happy and working together or not, if they win out of hatred they couldn't care less

"Our priority is that the atmosphere in the garage will remain harmonious as it is nowadays. It’s my task to maintain it" Good luck with that. I estimate a couple of hard passes either way with have the shit out of the prams.
