Out for my morning walk with the dear boy and saw this coming in with the pilot View from Tittie castle Not such a bad place to live

On the way home I rode through the New Forest ........................ and then did a cheeky lane in the Wylie valley The Sled ran like a dream, the perfect bike for these sort of roads.

Been a busy day, took my middle daughter out to catch her college busy at 6:30, then walked the dog. Got the youngest up and we rode up to Colin Flashman Motorcycles at Gunnislake to book my CB600 in for new tyres. They can’t fit me in until Friday week but they quoted £232 for a set of Michelin Road 5’s which is bloody good. Cheapest I could find a set online was £250. Of course I had to take my shadow for a sausage sandwich, her staple diet, afterwards. Where she told how much she fancied the mechanic at Flashmans FFS. Poor chap Then I wanted to go up to Kitt hill for a mooch, Shadow was totally disinterested Then we had a blast down the A30 to Bodmin and home. Did about 80 miles in total. CB600 riding well but I can’t wait for the new rubber.

Back feels alot better today, not 100% though, so gonna take a ride to my buddies place, only 10 mile there, and back, I think that will be far enough under the circumstances.

I had a pass out today so I decided to take a ride down to Hampshire to have a look at the new premises of Rugged Roads. Headed for Shaftesbury and then took the B3081 to Ferndown which is great road. I stopped in Ferndown for a coffee and sausage sandwich ............. Rugged Roads don't really sell bikes (apart from the Kove rally bike ) but they have a great showroom full of clothing and parts for your adventure bike . I bought some new gloves while I was there ............. My mate Andy popped by as he lives quite close so we decided to go for a coffee at Sammy Miller's which is also close by. they also had some Harley Davidson's parked outside ..............

A colorful view from NE OR....

Yep, sweating on top of rubber sheets. Some MP’s would pay good money for that sort of treatment

not really ...booked another one

This is what Victory normally looks like. Picture on our living room wall that was given to my Mrs on her 21st birthday. She crewed on working boats (Falmouth Oyster Dredgers) in her younger years. In the past they used to dredge all winter and race all summer, there is only one left that actually works now and is owned by my kids God Father.

The Falmouth Working Boat, sail powered oyster dredger, Victory went down yesterday. Pushed to hard during a race filled up and down. It's alright she is already up again, but it is an uncommon sight.

My son passed his test today and has a Honda Hornet

I have come out in sympathy for you ..my back went the other day... i have been walking like i have shit my self

Whose bike?

I like Dorset , enjoyed the trip we done last year there

Dick Mann framed TT 5.....

Rang them today and they claim that they are having issues with their system adding extras on without request, okay, anyway my renewal is all £4 less than last year, it’s unlikely I’ll get better than that.

It goes back before engines and such, it was kept as sail only in to preserve the oyster beds in the river Fal basin. @Pedro Falmouth working boats can be no longer than 28 feet although some are less. Victory looks bigger in that painting because there are no crew aboard for perspective. Also she has been modified over the years, that painting is 39 years old, pretty sure she doesn't have a splash deck anymore. https://fwba.co.uk/galleries/ https://nmmc.co.uk/2023/08/the-history-of-falmouths-working-boats/

Think we're getting the picture now why it's taking so long to get your bike up and running again...lol.

Yes .. Paul .. yes, you do … because you’re a homo.

Had my early morning cuppa sat outside.... has summer arrived?...or is the weather just tricking us?.

No .. Ian .. no I don’t … your the one with the cruiser

Only after they have spent their money in the town

You would know, you do more cruising than the rest of us combined.

Picture of her up.

Forever Missed....

One of my favourite parts of the UK, from what I’ve seen. Also, Sammy Miller’s museum is very very cool!

You’re just jealous. You open up about your trip and experiences, and all you get is

600

Badger cubs in my garden X-H2 and Godox tt350f mounted on the hotshoe old Tamron 70-300mm with Fringer adaptor

I would laugh, but I fear if I did mine would go out again.....

"Rattlesnake Grade".... aka Tarmac-Carving Heaven

She's about to borrow your bike there ................

Aye, he’s a bellend.

You were good in the TV series.

Same for Edinburgh.

i think its on its way clive

Bit testie the morning? Post holiday blues?

Haven’t got any heated gear, I have been using thermal underwear up to now but that may be problematic for work. Most hospitals are like the fucking tropics in the winter.

Steerin' w/ the Back wheel--....

Probably NOT w/o Tommy the Tool's assistance....

Typical Honda fork lowers. What you could do with those is rub them down with fine wet & dry paper , spray silver and then lacquer . The alternative method is to ship them off to SIX30 wheel painting services Ltd , although I wouldn't guarantee the work

Yep You're lucky Pete isn't still around, he would have got that before you Dave ...........
