I found this photo last night. A couple of years ago we're coming back up through France on back roads, we found a cafe in this small village and after a bit of very bad French and some arm waving we sat down outside to eat. We were really just wanting a snack but in true French fashion we got the full works and for only 13 euros including beer brewed on the premises, I don't have a photo of the main course or pudding but this was just the starter ?

Wow, I wish you luck . We can only dream about things like that at the moment.

Got any photos Dave ? I was a bit pushed for time otherwise I would have investigated more.

That would be frowned upon here at the moment given whats going on right now

Pete was asking about Gold beach and the WW2 Normandy invasion by the allies. I toured around the beaches in 2019 when I was on my way back up through France to get the ferry at Cherbourg. I had a bit of time on my hands and stayed overnight in Port en Bessin and then toured the beaches and sites of interest before getting the ferry back to UK. If anyone else has done the same bung your photos up here...............

That's a real shame Fred, get over here when you can and we'll do some classic Cotswolds lanes.

That looks bloody brilliant Chris, I'm so envious. To me, if you get off the main routes in France and get on the back roads there is always something interesting to see. My mate and me have come across war memorials even on trails in France.

So many great trails in the Rhondda, most of the best ones aren't on any maps

Nice one, I've definitely done it but I didn't recognise it at all .

Fuckmine Bucky, you've excelled yourself today. I'm expecting great things from you now.................

At least they're repairing it Fred. Where is that one, I don't recognise it ?

Have you any interest in fishing Pete ? That looks like heaven to me, ride down that track to the lake, carry a light telescopic spinning rod and some lures with you and Bob's your uncle

Yen, get yourself one of these. One of the best things I ever bought. It has bolt size gauge, thread gauge and length. https://www.pro-bolt.com/progauge-bolt-measuring-tool/

Your life has certainly changed Buckster, you're obviously a survivor

Happy Birthday Fred, have a virtual drink on me. Once this shit is over perhaps we can get for ride and a proper drink.

There used to be a club in Bath (no I'm not joking) in an old underground loo, it was called Bog Island https://bathnewseum.com/virtual-museum-of-bath-2012/bog-island-disco-one/

How delightful

I found it, Whealie on the Abbey Road crossing made famous by some pop group

Definitely echos of the old XT500, especially the versions with the gold rims

Tomorrow is an anniversary for me and it's something that I find weighing a bit heavy on my mind at the moment. It will be the 20th year since I had the accident where I lost my leg, there may be some drinking of alcohol involved .

I've looked at a couple of these but they're still making decent money second hand. My boss fancies one as well so ee're waiting until a suitable bike pops up.

Nice one yen, that was a cracking night in that club. My mate Tone was dancing until he dropped ?

Was that when the XRV meet was at a site near Lowestoft ? If so I was there.
