Working Friday and Sunday overnight. Saturday morning I lead shadow on my CBF over to St Eval as she is spending the night at her boyfriend’s. Once she dropped her gear I lead her down to Camel’s Rugby Club where he was playing. I left her with his parents and headed home for a Kip. Sunday morning, now, I am going to meet up with my mates to go to Kitt Hill bike meet for a bit of Breakfast. Taking the Hornet this time. Stunning weather yesterday and again today, if a little cold.

The day started with a friend (Adam) picking me up in his van, no promise of sweets but a ride was going to happen for sure LOL. He was arriving at an ungodly hour for a weekend 07.30, so i was up at at 06.00 to make sure i would curl one out before we left. Stopped for a bacon and egg rolls on route and arrived at the meeting place just after 9 full and ready to go. The two other lads we were meeting turned up a few minutes later. They were harder than us as they rode the hour and half up to meet us but they arrived freezing cold as it was -2c, the van was definitely the best choice today. Adam was leading the ride following a route i plotted the other two lads i had not met before one was from Swansea and the other i think Newport way but originally from Spain. Both on KTM 690's and Adam was on his GASGAS 701(KTM690) and me on my old XR. I ended up leading everyone to the first lane as Adam was having issues with the overly complicated way he was trying to navigate the route. After whipping through the first lane I hung around here as i noticed nobody was behind me, the ground was rather muddy and slippery and the two lads when they caught up were no longer complaining they were cold We stopped for mike to sort his handguard out which had worked loose and Adam took the opportunity to work out the bugs with his shat nav and then took the lead Done a few really mucky lanes and stopped in Erwood cafe for a coffee. We had been riding for about 2 hours but only covered 14 miles due to the sloppy ground conditions Erwood Cafe was an old railway station, the track has been taken up but the platforms are still there not much to see. After the Cafe we headed up onto the Llanbedr Hills where the trails opened out and were far less muddy, but the grass was deceivingly slippery so had to take it easy with the throttle. Look at the chemtrails, where's @zzzak when you need him LOL Further on Mike found out just how slippery the grass was when his bike flamed out and he tried to bump it on the fly ended up binning it and had to remove the loose hand guard as it was now hanging off. Look at that beauty best bike there LOL Adams Shat Nav went AWOL again and we missed this lane, he seemed a bit miffed when i said lets go back and do it especially because he got stuck there LOL Then mike decided to swap ruts and dropped the bike again. i couldn't put the stand down to help him so took a photo instead Halfway along the route we stopped at the service station at Crossgates for dinner bikes were a little dirtier than the other bikes there. After our bellies were full it was an 8 mile road ride to the next lane and our furthers point from the van. A lane called water breaks it's neck named after the waterfall on its southern end. It's a great lane with fantastic views but a hell of a lot of gates to open and close. Jose showing off again i don't think he's worn a front tyre out Adam decided he didn't want to do the next few lanes around new Radnor which i was a bit disappointed about and if i had rode the bike up instead of going in his van i would have split from the group and done them on my own. Travelling all the way up there to miss those seemed a bit stupid to me, anyhow we skipped them and moved onto Black Yatt which is pretty much the same as water breaks it's neck but with a lot of large puddles to go through. That's it for the photo's, the ride back to the van was a constant cock up of navigating with Adams overcomplicated shat Nav, he passed lane after lane and we ended up getting back to the van all on the road but it was still a good day. Now i have to go and ride the route on my own to do the lanes around New Radnor and everything else that was missed to fix my OCD issues. LOL

Met up with my Fowey mates for a trip up to Kitt Hill. We worked it out that our combined age was approaching 400. Me being the youngest at 59. 2 x Triumph Tigers 1 x Triumph Bonniville 1 x Moto Guzzi V85TT 1 x Moto Guzzi V7 1 x Norton Commando 1 x Honda Hornet. The cue for Breakfast Now I like these old Jellymould CBRF Hondas. That is a really nice 18k miles example. Yamaha Y-B1 on L plates A Greaves in the hedge, its natural habitat. I likey Insert collective noun for old fuckers Old and slow L plate special from the 60/70s Dirty Harley, rumour has it that it was actually ridden in the wet Weirdness Lovely old K bike from 1984 and only 32k on the clock. Just like my old one, I had forgotten how big the bleddy thing was. Dwarfed my Hornet parked next to it. After we had breakfast and a look at the many and lovely bikes at Kitt Hill we headed across country through Callington and Launceston to the north coast. We went to try out a new cafe at Otterham Station on the A39. Very good it was to. Them we Headed down to Camelford inland to Bodmin then back to the South Coast and home to Fowey. Covered 85 miles and a great day out. Sunny but cold. The Hornet TBH was a joy to ride. I need to ride it more.

When i was talking to the guy from Spain i asked why he moved here, he said for work as he could earn so much more here then at home and the work conditions were better. He also said he's lived a in few places over the years but he found Wales the best place to live so far and really enjoys living here said its a beautiful place to live, I really wish Pete was here to read this He works in a Lab making Enzymes for use in medical research for things like possible cancer cures. I think that's what he said lol

No they were all with lamb or pregnant, Believe it or not we do have some morals

Had to drop of a bill to a client.....took the scenic route

Wallowa Lake this winter.....

Been in the mid 50f's the past 3 days...& not a cloud in sight So I've been running my chainsaw through the back yard, cutting up dead fallen limbs of a few trees....which is a bit challenging at times trying to hang onto it w/ my hook....but I prevailed & got my 4x4 wheelbarrow (truck) filled up with debris that I'll be able to empty at the local dump next Saturday....for FREE. It also felt great to get a coupla Rides in as well... With the fast melt we had recently, there's been a few signs of erosion around....makes me glad I live where I do & not down near the river as it's quite full & flowing pretty quickly. The hillside at my place is so full of tree stumps & roots, that erosion doesn't have much effect. The hill on the right side of these tracks, showed a few spots where run-off was apparent...yesterday there was a coupla rather large rocks that let go & rolled down onto the tracks...somebody obviously moved them so later in the year, the excursion train can pass through w/o issues...

I used to work w/ a guy who would eat Onion sandwiches for lunch....needless to say, it was like co-worker repellent after lunch each day!

Did you notice the towbar , probably some twat who tows a trailer full of bibles .............

Point of order @Saul !! 1. it's spelt Greeves 2, That's a Francis Barnett

Not in front of the children? Very respectful.

Who are you and what have you done with Lionel?

Yeah much, thanks

Maico 50cc road racer....

YZ 360 flat-tracker....

That'll be the owner of the gaff, I don't think that's going to help your cause to gain entry . However there is always a bonus , the car park is just the sort of background that you seem to like for a photo of your dildo ..........

I didn't do it because I am a lazy bastard. On the plus side the website client loves the design of the site so that will be completed this week and I will get the filthy lucca.

Speaking of MT....here's my buddy's dog Jax...from his place in Wolf Cr. MT....he's a "snow-crazed nut-job" as my buddy describes him....

Somewhere in MT....

'75 KX 400....

A shot from the Painted Hills.... central OR....

Pete christened you a gammon , I'm just keeping it alive Get your arse down to Cirencester and I'll get you in

Not in the slightest, the owner did say that the gammon would get refused entry

Nice one Fred, the weather looks perfect but as you know it's always going to be a bit of a mudfest at this time of the year ................. Wot say you @Six30 ?

No sheep frottering?

It's pissing rain since yesterday. I doubt I'll be riding this weekend. How about you guys ?

Or you could just raise the front end and drop the wheel down

You feeling better now? Had a cold early last week, still a bit snotty but over the worst.

I didn't know six was this old, (make sure the volume is on) https://www.facebook.com/share/r/18MrfhWvyr/

a few years ago someone rode one at the TT

Looks like they've picked them out of that baguette, for shame.

ok..do i just say i know the Gammon with the scooter ?

So it’s you then.

Pic Nic at the clubhouse after our walk

He’s free to do it, like you were! If being lame doesn’t matter to him like it does to you… He owns a scooter and a Cube, so it should be the opposite!

On other news, this month @Bucksterwas very quick to change the site’s picture…

here’s a hint: it’s right before every month ends!

Forecast is great so tomorrow i will be staring with some van action and then styling and profiling on the XR with one or two others from the TRF. Sunday will probably be a recovery day. Planned route

Probably worth more than your barge ............

All these nice looking bikes and you take three pictures of a scooter?

The bread was shite but the sausage and egg was good

The sandwich didn't look up to much but the bikes made it a worthwhile ride.

A bunch of Kawasaki's ............ Some old skool off roaders ........... You don't see many of these ..........

Another personal favorite....
