Top box action for Pete.

Just to balance things out

It’s not hairdryer of the month.

Wish I had a pic of Pete - but alas. One from last week....

43km .. . 38c.... . 80% ...dirt

I dunno - it's not even my dog! He belongs to the neighbor at my shop and wanders in when the door is open to make himself at home. Fucker acts like he owns the place.

I'm in Moffat having a late lunch before riding down to St. Mary's Loch.

It's not Barge of the month either but hey ho !

This is the last photo of my ZRX new bike arrives Tuesday. This is showing the top box just for Pete.

Oil change day today. My assistant thinks he can do a better job than I can. He's probably not wrong...

Watching the sun go down while @Sofiaworks on dinner. Life is good today.

I'll put this one up of Pete. Pete myself and probably Fred have all got a photo on that bridge ...............

Don't bend over Fred

Nice council house Phil

Corse you can Check out Friends of Jax Shack on Face Book tons of great roads aswell as trails here.

On the way to St. Mary's Loch.

Your wasting your breath

Eventually convinced myself to go out on the bike this afternoon i don't know whats wrong with me, the wife's is away and i'm home alone took me until 14:00 before i got out. I wanted to take some photos of some of the local lanes to me to add to the TRF's green road map (GRM). Had my usual spin over Eglwysilan to warm up and stopped to chat to a local lad for a while, think i might have talked him into joining the TRF, after numerous messages from his missus he headed home glad i don't have that problem. I head from Eggy down to do the lanes around Pentyrch i like these as there's no gates to open and close Love the lanes when the trees close them in from Pentyrch i took the back roads to Peterston-super-Ely and then picked up a nice unpaved road over to St Nicholas and hopped on the A48 to St Hillary to the first lane i wanted to take photo's of for the GRM. This used to be a sump smasher coming down it as it had deep washouts on it now its a nice easy lane but a little overgrown I went down it and then back up, the photos are from the bottom up. The top of the lane starts off on some overgrown tarmac, when i entered the lane at the top i went around a right hand bend and the middle of it was covered in a ridge of mud hidden under the weeds which had me off in the bloody stingy's from here i went up over Cowbridge common to a short lane near Prisk the other lane i wanted photos of, it's always overgrown in the summer but I've not seen it this bad before The entrance is there honest I tried to battle my way through it But the mighty XR was defeated i was going up hill and the summer tyre offered no grip at all on the surprisingly soft ground at this point probably only 100 yards in i turned around. The lane is wide enough for a 4x4 so easy enough to turn around on This is the exit from the lane at the top a rather posh house next to it A gentle ride home form here picking up a few unpaved roads on the way i was out about 4 hours and covered just over 50 miles in excellent weather as usual wish i'd got off my arse and gone out earlier though.

What do you say, as an expert, @Sir Fallsalot?

Horizontal pictures, my man!

Snap

I'll put this up from this afternoon while i look through what else if any i have

"You're" welcome.

Sausage and chips with salt and sauce.

Feck off he never got a photo in BOTM when he was alive why should it be any different now

Hardcore shit … and just up that lane was an abandoned building ….

My two submissions: The big GS on a tiny road deep in the Douro region. And Pete, giving you the bird, on the "one of the best bikes ever made", complete with huge top box:

Since we are now able to change the picture on the front page, we're restarting Bike Of The Month with a vote for all three months in which we had no competition. You can now submit one picture of your bike on a ride, taken anytime in May, June or July, in horizontal format. As an exception, I will also accept submissions of a second picture if you wish to honour Pete, and as such if you've got a picture of him you'd like to have on the front-page for a month, we can accept that as well. They will all go in the vote, I'll consider the last picture you submit of each genre. On the evening of the 29th, I'll close submissions and start the vote.

Look at this bad boy right up @Marcel le Moose Fondler and @Buckster's street for when their tractors are banned

Cock by me sorry chaps, Pete Dell and my ( bustupbiker) Lyn Pete with the XT Dell on his Strom and me on the BM. 2007 just after Pete and family moved to Spain. I do have some that include Ren as well..

I thought it was a poor man’s fish and chips using a very long fish finger. Deep fried sausage, that’s wrong!

A deep fried sausage?

Or maybe I should do this one from today.

Tomorrow evening I’ll close this and set up the poll. Might be late and after dinner as during the day will be taking a long trip to the hottest part lf Portugal with @Sofia, in her Alfa Romeo 156, pray for me!

Today

Ooooooh look, a top BAG !!

If you were closer I would stab you and not in a good way.

Cheers Bob

Fine dining
