The forecast is looking pretty good...... ......not that I can go anywhere of course as I'm still restricted to within the town perimeters! When I wasn't locked in the weather was brutal......so basically I've had my wings clipped since mid October. In fact I've only done 1600kms/1000 miles in nearly 5 months, and 160kms of that was bringing it back from the dealer. So I will be out......but don't expect any genre defining Ride Reports! What you up to?

He's just got himself a lengthy ban surely?

336kmh?

Very tribal Pedro!

Grebos were the guys without bikes who hung round with Greasers (who had bikes). Well that was the interpretation in Swansea. I did a search on Wikipedia about how Greasers were the evolution of Rockers! HERE! In the early 1970s, the British rocker and hardcore motorcycle scene fractured and evolved under new influences coming from California: the hippies and the Hells Angels.[29] The remaining rockers became known as greasers, and the scene had all but died out.

Not Shania Twain's drummer surely?

Once again I have to apologise to @Grasshopper's Ride for the disgusting content posted on here! And it's always @Bruce and Fred that are responsible. @Clive......get that incomprehensible warning PM ready for these two sickos!

He won't be styling and profiling for a while now......apparently they're forecasting temps down to -25c.

This is a thread that @yen_powell will jump at. He's never happier than when he's languishing in disgusting old shit houses! I saw this on Twitter......apparently this is the toilet on the Forth Rail Bridge in Scotland! There'll be a fucking Tsunami when those turds hit the water! Maybe we can get @Bruce to sail underneath it so people can shit on his head?

If I was younger I'd be doing that too Bruce!

Done some pruning from General which has increased the postcount in Motorcycle Chat!

Problem is at this stage is we're up against forums (and FB) who have thousands of threads. So we have to try and populate it as best we can until the numbers are much greater. Because nobody wants to sign up to a stagnant or empty forum.

The Way We Were......when we had freedom!

Ideally yes.....but we don't get that many bike specific posts in there Pedro. And the news articles do stimulate posting. Ultimately the problem is that we don't have many good threadstarters. XT Alan/Suzuki Al was great at that.

Yes....Kwak and Garelli importers.

We bounced well though!

.......for anything related to Boats!

I was just checking something on ButtRider......and you're limited to only 10 pics on a Ride Report. It's impossible to get away with only 10 pics when I'm doing abandoned villages and railway stations.

In case you're looking for it I've merged motorcycle news into motorcycle chat.....including all the feeds. The sections were very similar so it's better to have one with more posts rather than two half empty ones. I plan to introduce a new section soon.....Motorcycle Touring. Where we'll give free publicity to all the Tour Companies, Travellers, Book Authors etc to promote their stuff. This also gives me an opportunity to ask the FB Adv Group Admins if I can post a link to this place where I invite these people to promote themselves. So it's a win-win really. The businesses get exposure here and we get exposure on FB. Unless some power tripping FB group admins put the kybosh on it of course!

Dell and Lyn's bikes got collected by Magnum and taken back to Britain for them for a song. So I had to repay the favour to Magnum......that's the way I roll! It's a biker thing Bruce......you wouldn't understand. Neither do I of course......cos I'm not a biker. You've got to be in a little local biker club wearing a patch and swilling beer in a field of mud to qualify! And somehow that lifestyle choice never appealed to me somehow!

When there was a British motorcycle industry the carnage never seemed to bother them. Course in 73 it all changed cos the Japs had killed them off! So along came the moped laws, compulsory helmets......and all the other obstacles to getting a licence they've put in place since! None of which I understand. So the thinking seemed to be that it was fine to wipe yourself on a Bantam cos it was British......but god forbid you should do that on a Jap before they'd made money out of you. Point of interest here......I never killed myself on my D7 Bantam. Not many fatalities went down when you were pushing a bike you see. But my awful experiences with BritShit served me well in 2007 when I had to push Magnum's Guzzi to the bike shop......cos he was too fucking fat to do it.

But you grew out of it Yen.....and moved on to cruising the graveyards!
