Sounds like it might do the trick nicely. Definitely worth giving a go. I’ll book it into experimental kitchen and report back. Thanks

Can’t imagine motobiker ever doing anything so daft Anyway I didn’t go to a dealer, I was offered a less than one year old bike with just under a thousand miles on the clock for £3000 (who I knocked down to £2900 - I have no shame when it comes to negotiating ), you’d have to be daft to turn that down! Especially if you’re about to do a bit of a gruelling trip on one and have the chance to get to know the bike better before the off. So there, can I go now?

Morning Mingers Too much work on today to waste time on here… oops

Hi Bob (jolly good another Bob, this won’t get confusing at all ). I was going to say you need to ask @Motobiker he’s the experienced one on these matters and gives excellent tried n tested advice but I see he’s already stepped up to the plate. My advice would be to listen to him, never steered me wrong.

Says you Mr Bath Spa

Wanted a laughy face and a sad one in response to that!

Rude

Happens all the time. You’re not going to conveniently fall next to a pull cord so folk get the ‘Help’ pendant to wear round their neck so if they fall they can summon help easily… and then never wear them

True I’ve met a fair amount of trailer trash in my time, I’m too polite to name names..

I now have visions of someone laying on the carpet after a fall looking at the pull cords thinking “bugger”

Wot you on about, they’re not woke lovies names they’re the choices of trailer trash.

Excellent news. So all it takes is skipping a nights sleep and being so tired you then sleep through, easy peasy

Flat out today and probably the rest of the week. Not looking forward to it much but still glad I mostly frittered the weekend away enjoying it. Not riding your bike for any length of time is a slow torture and then when you do the happiness top up is of the charts

Thought someone would pick up on that, was gonna crop it out of the photo but decided to see who would be first to comment, you win

Thanks

I do. A French press, aero press (makes very smooth coffee) and a nespresso capsule machine thingy cos everyone else loves coffee. I use to love coffee, drank the good stuff all day, realised I was drinking too much of it went cold turkey (brrr don’t recommend doing that) then when I was ready to start drinking it again it tasted like ashtray but I do remember how good it used to taste. So send away! On the bike front the 9T is King but it’s not a bike for distance. The suspension is far too hard and I wouldn’t want it changed because it’s so much fun to ride as is. Did make me start to think a BMW would be better for Spain.

Jesus H Christ what do you think of me, I would never be so low. I never go dogging on a bike, strictly cars only, real class.

Bet he does, Germans love knob and arse humour, they’re as repressed as the British

But would it? Sugary bun and sharp coffee. Lovely. If you like coffee. I don’t

Was having a dilemma about which bike to take, the 9T and the Bandit have both been idol too long for my liking and I’m imagining fluids congealing and stuff clogging up so I want to ride them both- insert own joke about getting your pipes cleaned here Mr Slowly offers to ride the Bandit so long as I don’t “piss off overtaking things” until he’s familiarised himself with it. Fair enough. A sedatish ride in the chilly sun. Pulled over specifically to get a shot for you keepeeon bastards. Rumwells Farm Shop and Cafe. Have driven/ridden past it many many times but it never appealed so I never went in but I googled best cafe near Taunton and there it is with rave reviews and an apparent love of doughnuts. 100’s a week they make. Put your order in by 12 the day before and they make them fresh that morning for collection or you can wing it and see what bakes are available. After taking my gloves off twice to take photos they’re now icey (see how I suffer for you ) Rumwells are fully booked, outside seating only for a cup of tea/handwarmer. Mr Slowly has an iced bun that’s so nice he starts smiling (and you lot know codgers don’t smile) so it must of been goooood. Then one last car park photo (especially for @Pedro) and home. Forgot how much fun the 9T is so we rode back the same way agreeing to enjoy our own pace, except by now Mr Slowly is clearly ‘familiar’ with my bike and suddenly I’m playing catch up Stopped at my Pops house on the way home with surprise doughnuts. Muchos happiness, his daughter, doughnuts, a motorbike to look at and I wasn’t stopping- his favourite type of human contact! Back home for Mr Slowlys shepherds pie (excellent) and doughnuts. Bonus, Rumwells have a dedicated gluten free kitchen (unheard of) and I’m made up to have my first doughnut in over 15 years! Bit too sweet aren’t they! Went to the Triumph garage to get you some pics but it was closed. Next time

That is class!!!

Well I have a couple of car park style shots but I’m frightened to post them I was just going to let it slide and never mention going out for a ride again

I know someone who married a Jolly. Her names Jo. Jo Jolly She doesn’t seem the find it as funny as I do

Did you get some sleep in the end?
