just got back from the MOA Rally in Oregon and doing a little BDR. We also did PCH from Bodega Bay - north. There might still be some road closures south of San Francisco. The scenery along the road is incredible, even if you've seen an ocean before. But, you have to really take into account the good twisty roads that lead to it. There are a bunch! Check out www.pashnit.com for a good list of the best California roads, plus hit me up and i will help you take full advantage of it. if you are staying along PCH, bring lots of $$. Gas is pricey, as well as hotels. Camping is a better option. Another portion along the coast, lightly traveled - Lost Coast

Bet that won't take you to long. Chain and sprocket arrived today and I ordered the wrong rear sprocket.

But today, before the trip, I gotta remember how to put these back on.....

Headed north tomorrow with hopes to stop just south of Canuckistan. Looking to do some off road and general messing around in Wyoming and Montana for a few days....

And then it turned around.

"Ain't gonna high-side this corner"....

she would never be allowed out the van.... oh you mean the tyre dont you.

We holidayed in bream some years ago in a caravan, sounds like the beds haven't changed much.

Holy crap! Bucky took pictures!!

Stunning weather here, nothing important to do so just went for a bimble that turned out being 5 hours and 110 miles. For starters I got one of this mesh things to see it it helped Shadows ever sensitive butt. It works apparently . And yes before anyone mentions it I know it makes my bike look like a Himalayan that has had a Temu parts cannon fired at it But if it stops the moaning I will bear it. Got through morning St Austell school run congestion then on to Truro where some bell end in a white A4 fulfilled the stereo type and near rear ended us. Frightened the fuck out of Shadow who proceeded to give him her whole vocabulary of expletives and gestures when we pulled up beside him at the next lights . It’s her angry time of the month, the rage she’s demonstrated is quite disturbing. A few more miles and I took the wrong turning and rode through Penryn town centre to Falmouth. Of course we couldn’t ride past Maccies, I thought a McFlurry would calm the beast plus I needed a bladder break. We rode onto Falmouth Station car park (free to bikes) then walked down to events square for a look at the river. At this point Shadow was raging because we never fitted the giant top box for our helmets and jackets as we had to carry them. Actually I will next time I thought it was a good idea if we are going to mooch about when it’s hot. Having done Falmouth we headed further west to Helston as Shadow has never been there and I haven’t for years. More free parking Then we walked into Helston for a Costa Stunning weather but my head was glistening according to my company Suitably fed and watered we headed off to Wendron. An absolutely stunning village on the way to Redruth. Managed to get out of Dead Rough, as it’s known down here, unscathed and stopped in Scorrier for some fuel, CBF averaging 58mpg. Then out onto the new A30 and blast back to Innes Downs and home through the clay country. Stunning ride with great company, much as I moan about Shadow we get on really well and laugh a lot. The CBF is running like a Honda, a very comfortable pleasant way to travel. Will even pick up its skirts and blast along with a few revs, best £1100 I have ever spent. Now chilling, while Shadow is off down the beach with her mate, having worn me out for the day.

Good thing I didn’t watch it. Once Portugal start hearing they’re in top place in their group and are amongst favourites, they get full of themselves and ruin everything.

You ride a bike that looks like it was designed in the dark by @YamaHead drawing on stone with a fish.

On our way back from Looking Glass creek, the Mrs. & I spotted this fury Beast in the brush not far from the road....

It's probably just been kept in a van all it's life .............

Can't wait for tonight...the great American debate...this odd to be hilarious...lol.

I genuinely and sincerely would like to thank Gareth Southgate for his efforts as England manager, and also the players... my nan has been bed bound since 1987, approaching half time she just got up and turned the tv off.

So today after church I headed out to get some new summer gloves, my short leather gloves are a little warm on days like today so I wanted some that were better vented, I found these in 3XL which were perfect for my big tall person hands. I needed to test them out so I headed out of town, I got them at J&S on the south side of the City so I headed south and made my way into the borders down the A68 before turning off and heading to Coldstream, about 70 miles. I looked for the Coldstream Guards but they were hiding so I went to the CoOp and got a sandwich and drink and headed to the park to sit in the sun and enjoy this culinary delight. While there I founds evidence of the guards. I sat on a bench overlooking the River Tweed the centre of which is the border between Scotland and England. I also had a nice cigar after my picnic and sat and watched Kingfishers, Herons and Otters down in the river, unfortunately my phone camera wasn’t up to the job of taking those kind of photos but it got me thinking of getting a decent camera. Then I started thinking of heading back.

You're the expert.

Same as a Renault Trafic van then

Couple of good hits with your hammer and pretty sure you can crack yours too, @Marcel le Moose Fondler!

You know those are knowed has girly bikes here in the Americas....99% are riden by women...it's the next step up from a sportser for most of them...I'd figure you'd love this model cause it has the word boy into it...fat boy...what a gayass name for a bike...

Nice one @Saul!....Weatherwise, looks like a beautiful day for a ride.

Once again the Haar/Fret has rolled in, visibility down to 20 metres, last warm day forecast for tomorrow, so we may go to Bangers & Cash Country tomorrow, then home Friday morning, which we will be glad of because the caravan beds are shite, too small and soft as shit, doing my back no favours.

I wish I knew it better. Been down there on the piss a few times and I did have a girlfriend that moved there many years ago but I haven't been there for probably 30 years excepting today. Hayle I know a little better.

1st full game that I have watched, enjoyed every minute.

Steering with the back wheel....

I rode to work and back on a bicycle today!

You quite obviously don't care about her at all.

To be fair a fuel injected bike will be better to restrict, so it makes sense.

Day 2......some kind of record ☀ For us

Just been out for a cheeky 75 miles bimble on the CBF with my Shadow. Partly to try out my new screen and partly just to be out there. Dropped into Dameralls for an oil filter and a few bits. Obviously Shadow had to have a Sausage sandwich then got all unnecessary because boys in Dameralls. Did crack a smile for once. Chuffed to bits with the new screen massive improvement over the stock one and with the deflector much quieter as well. Actually hear the bike keys rattling at times and stuff in my tank bag moving around. Much more road noise as well but that was obviously masked by wind blast before. We then set off for Bodmin Scooter Centre as my boy needs a new rear tyre for his Ped. Then home. Gonna wait for the sun move so I can service the CBF. To Scorchio out there at the moment.

Is the BMW still in the back of the van though?

It is obvious that Fred has never been here because the sheep don’t run away. After heading over the tops I started towards Gifford and was greeted with views towards the Firth of Forth and the Bass Rock. Also something familiar to Fred. More of what you all want of course. I have a picture of my Thruxton R at this same spot a few years ago. Then I headed home via the takeaway. I was a good afternoon ride.

I wanted to ride the Lammermuir Hills as it has been a while and the last time was well before I fitted the new shocks. I headed over some nice twisty country roads and through Duns before turning off and heading for Longformacus and up into the hills. Miles of single track roads with little traffic and a few cattle grids and many sheeps. This was looking back from where I had come from. This was where I was headed. The views were spectacular as always. That is Watch Water Reservoir in the distance.

Maximum Bikes ? never heard of it

I’ve ridden a lot of that and @alfalfa lives just off the PCH.
