I like those lanes around there but not London Road , even if you've got a group of four of you working together it still takes ages to get through it.

Bonkers isn't it Clive, £10 a month on giff gaff for me .

Fuckmine, can you imagine the repayments on that

We're out tomorrow for Tony's xmas ride. Not sure what direction we're going , I think it may depend on the weather. If we're going up the Fosseway then I'll just go on the Donkey but if we're heading to rut central (Wiltshire ) I'll probably go on the Yamaha.

@Sir Fallsalot did you do your TRF ride ?

I totally agree with that and yet I reckon they will be worse off as regards to the state pension as some of them won't be eligible until their seventies the way it's going on I won't get a full state pension either as I finished full time work when I was 51 . I'm not going to make voluntary contributions to top it up as it won't make a huge difference,

Absolutely agree, but the trick is to work hard when your younger and fitter so you can relax more in your later years.. I think this is the point that Fred is trying to make ?

Blimey, this is a tough one . I'm inclined to vote for Fred because that's the sort of view I like but I feckin hate ruts Moon's photo is great because I love those roads in France Pedro's view is bl**dy awesome but I'm voting for Renegade, a classic bike with a view that is one of my favourites

That's the place to get too Fred, it's definitely not all about the money .

The biggest thing for me in 2023 was that my son reached the age of 30 years, which considering his traumatic start to life was pretty amazing,. We had a great trip to Italy to celebrate with him which he really enjoyed. I also managed to get to Italy again later in the year but this time on my bike , the last time I did the Stella Alpina rally was 13 years before that so it was great to go back and ride those iconic trails. Health wise I had a decent year but I'm definitely getting older and I can't really see me riding big bikes anymore, the weight is definitely a factor and getting at least one foot on the floor confidently now is a bit of a must.

That's much better

Interesting but I cannot see how any of those bikes listed there would be any good for a beginner ...................

Fitted a new battery on the Cube this morning , retrieved a parcel from down the road as my Uncle had incorrectly addressed it . Sorting out my calendar for next year now , very exciting ................

Apparently I am in charge of groin/knob photos . For political items you must approach @Buckster ..................

Are you posting a photo of your bike this year Lionel .................

So can @Marcel submit his favourite photo now ? You know , the one with his friend Billybob .............

and another thing !! I'm meant to be selling and procuring various Ducati parts, not censoring old blokes shaved private bits ............

@Sir Fallsalot , you'd better up your game as you have a rival in the photoshop stakes now

I am in work and my bald turkey alarm didn't go off !! I'll leave this one to @Buckster to deal with as he reckons his beard is better than mine so therefore he must be the Primo Moderator

and you're driving a bus ..................
