There is more humour in any of our little fingers than the whole of your worthless existence . You contribute nothing of value to this forum , no ride reports , no comments on bikes , no photos (except the trash you knicked from the net) , Go and get yourself some strawberry ice-cream and go for a ride in your wonderful country, take some photos while your there and show us where you've been . You might get some respect then ................... -
I've thought about this many times but I've come to the conclusion that old bikes like that would just be a pain to trail ride for any length of time. Drum brakes, skinny forks , 6V electrics , I could go on........... I'll stick to my CRF250, starts first time every time, stops and steers decently even if the operator is prone to bending a few things .

The only time I've heard a real cuckoo was when I was wild camping near Bala in Wales. You won't get that experience in your Ford Transit or a Premier Inn

The Internet may be for porn, but social media has also made it exceptionally good for promoting wackadoo theories and linking the far-flung people who believe them. This is hardly news at this point, but Weill outlines how Facebook’s and YouTube’s algorithms very, very rapidly funneled viewers toward extreme, incendiary, radicalizing content. It’s done just so viewers will stay online longer and so Facebook and YouTube would rake in the resultant ad revenue. “Flat Earth was algorithm gold,” Weill notes. Even Globe Earthers (in case you were wondering what the opposite of Flat Earthers are called) made Flat Earth videos as a sure way to make a quick buck. (In January 2019, YouTube changed its algorithm, so watching a NASA video no longer automatically leads you to a Flat Earth video as it used to.) Then, against the backdrop of the president of the United States spouting conspiracy theories daily, the pandemic locked everyone at home glued to their screens all day as their only connection to the (very troubling and scary) world outside. It was at this point that Facebook exposed unprecedented numbers of lonely, isolated, vulnerable people to conspiracy theories online. And unprecedented numbers believed. “Conspiratorial thinking is not a weird pathology,” Weill writes. Our brains’ propensity for seeing patterns even when there are none and creating narratives to explain events we find hard to understand means that many people are susceptible. Constantly bombarding people with misinformation feeds into this tendency. Cult leaders know this; totalitarian regimes know it, too. And as Weill delved into this ultimate case study of fringe subcultures to learn how people can believe strange things, she said what she ended up learning is that “people can believe anything they want to.”

I love the old A38 @Clive , I'd much rather use it than the M5. Back in the day it used to be dodgy between Bristol and Gloucester though as it used to be a 3-lane road with overtaking allowed in either direction

My mate in Brittany is complaining that fuel is running short as the protestors are blocking the refineries . -
They used to have a place out on the A38 near Stroud, I remember it as I always thought it was an odd location for such a business .
