Made to Albuquerque, New Mexico last night in time for the traditional Xmas dinner celebration with the wife. Good old burn your bunghole food at our favorite place in town...

You didn't clear the leaves up did you Clive

She does like a Stella, or 2. We have been trying to have a wet room installed, the other 5 bungalows on the street have them, we asked the housing association.....but they say no, so tried for handrails to help her getting into the shower..... housing association says yes!.............if we pay for them. The social worker just say...enquire with your housing association, she has done nothing that we have not already tried, she is a mine of (useless) information, but of very actual little help. Will have to carry on getting the wife out on the rear yard and give her a good jet washing, when the weather is warmer, till then

Fancy schamncy joint....

“Cheque”

Finally got the lead out my arse and dragged a bike out first time since the 28th of September i'm ashamed to say. It was the XR's turn i wanted to check out a road before i start the process of messaging the council to see if it still has vehicle rights on it, and a plod around some of the local lanes to check for fallen trees that may need clearing The road i was checking out is only a few miles from my home and is called black road the bit i was going to look at was abandoned years ago when they diverted the route it was good on the bike as half way along was always mucky as hell. Considering its been abandoned for so long the tarmac surface is better than the roads still in service although the leaf mulch made it all slippery as hell Unfortunately the mucky bit is now a lake and in passible by bike The road is to the right of this tree and the bank i shall return on the Beta to see if i can pick a route through in the woods on the right From here i had a run through he lanes around Pentyrch which were all cleared by the TRF over the last few weeks and then onto Merthyr where i stopped to clear a spindly branch A few hundred yards on i encountered this a little too large for my folding saw but cleared the thin branches to make it easier to squeeze between them, i shall return with the chainsaw for this one And then there was this i could get around but where the bike tracks are the ground is starting to break away and its a big drop off to the right So my trusty hand saw made short work of it Another few hundred yards and there was another branch down so out with the trusty saw and disaster i snapped the handle That saw has been in my service for many years and seen some action i shall be having a short memorial service for it later in the week LOL After oiking the bike over the log i then came to this lot, its getting dark and i have no saw so had no choice but to turn around and will revisit with the chainsaw another day to clear it. There's a gully after this tree where i repaired the path down to it in the summer it's what i wanted to see after all the rain we've had.

Has @XTreme reached out from the dark side to move this into ride reports the title certainly seems like his doing

He will come out the next morning and the bike will be gone and so will the enclosure thing.

i was thinking more along the lines of a pic of sophia wearing a pair of his yfronts eating a packet of Wotsits

@Pedro if your not comfortable winning the twat of the year reward... i am open to some bribery to change my vote.

Just watched Gangs of New York.. good film , never see it before , for some reason i had it in my head it was a musical...id rather paint a room with my own brains than watch a musical .. except Grease of course.

Arrived at our Xmas destination, only 1 hold up of 20mins on the A1. I guess I should be glad about that. Mandi’s brother and family joins us tomorrow so best make the most of the hot tub tonight.

Clean CR Husky...

Mt. St. Helens WA....

whats the prize ..will the winner get sent a check off @boboneleg and what will the check involve , whats he checking ?

Think it's that initial push to get started from stop to peddling, or from the early flat wood seated bikes you'd rather push than hurt your arse.

That check would cost more than the amount....it'll probably be made of rubber anyway.

'are' I'll send you a check for the 7p

Hardley special by XTR....

Ed's Moriwaki Zed....

You want his recipe for horse cock casserole?

Garden still has a good covering of fallen leaves, and broken branches from the recent storms, can't be arsed to go out and clear them, they will still be there waiting for me when spring arrives, so no rush.

there is royalties on my work bob... you owe me 7 pence.

He definitely could have gotten TOTY as well for sure. Showing his groin, and dying? come on!

and one is not prone to flashing his scar and nether regions as well .......................... Frankengroin for the win

Me in 1988 ...................... Well it might have been if the dream hadn't stopped ...................

Cold out in the 'hood....

A customer of the local bike place near me has a V Max which I love the look of. Never ridden one but it does look lovely. Keep meaning to test ride a Scout but my back is knackered and I am convinced I’d be crippled for a week after every ride if I got one. I’m supposed to be having a bit of bone removed from my spine in Jan which I hope will improve matters so maybe 2025 will be the year …

Yep I can see that coming especially as I voted for Pete.

only two people nominated and one of them is going to lose to a dead guy

There's only 1 entrant that is still active on this forum and that's Pedro.

Got the new highway pegs installed today....
