XTreme

Real dickheads more like! About €60-70K worth of bikes there and every one of them would get their ass handed to them on a plate by a Parts Bin Special worth about €3K!

WTF is all that about?

I think the existence of things like the ticket booth helped to give it that vibe! But nothing so far has been as creepy as the hat in the bar in Gorafe.

Superb Rick!

Great shots Fred......Blaenavon Works looks pretty impressive still.

Tribar light?

They wouldn't turn out for a Cunt like @MooN! What you say @Buckster?

Brits are just as dumb there then?

Great stuff Chris.......the water is a bit disturbing though. I'd have had to turn round and go home! And I think English gets Tower from the Spanish word Torre. Spanish for Dungeon is Mazmorra........so they went with your Donjon for Dungeon cos the Spanish one was too hard to say.

Sam's a nice guy isn't he.........always so laid back!

I was wondering whether he might have seen my abandoned railways and villages stuff on there......and thought I was some sort of adventurer/explorer? He's in for a let down then!

I know.....I'm not keen.

......after a lifetime of service to Namby-Pamby Motorcycling! Because I got a Friend Request on FaceBook.........from TED SIMON! (In 1973, sponsored by The Sunday Times, journalist Ted Simon began a 4-year, 64,000 mile solo journey travelling around the world on a 500cc Triumph Tiger 100 motorcycle. His book, Jupiters Travels has inspired many overlanders). Can you believe it......a friend request from the Godfather of Motorcycle Overlanding! I better get my act together a bit now!

Looks like it's not exactly smooth going on Sunday! Haven't heard back from the FB guy either......maybe he's decided it's not for him!

It's going to be looking gay as fuck @Buckster

I know Bristol very well too.....I've worked there a few times over the years. I always liked the place......saw loads of bands in the Colston Hall. Found the people very friendly too......but the women are very easy to shock compared to Welsh girls! I remember saying the word "vagina" in a conversation once.......and one of them said in shock......"Oh my god.....he used the word vagina". I said "Yeh.......but you should hear the word I use on the other side of the fucking bridge".

I know that area well......I lived in Chepstow from 1997 to 2001. And most of that time I commuted to Gloucester and Cheltenham every day because I was managing Computer superstores there. The Foresters are the truly the thickest fuckers in the UK. Some used to come into the store looking to buy computers and they couldn't read. I actually had to read out the product description on the display card for them. No....I'm not joking.

Definitely not Swansea.....no dumped cars or shopping trolleys!

If it's raining I won't be there Bob!

Camera?

Get your vote in if you haven't done it. @boboneleg is in the lead at the moment!

You can't spend all your retirement years like that Clive. These are supposed to be your Golden Years.......that sounds more like a fucking punishment to me. Get down the dealers and get something sorted........or you'll end up as one of the "You Retire and You Die" statistics! Just fucking pull the trigger on something.......no point on planning this or planning that in terms of finances......because none of us know how long we've got. Now is the time to live for today! Get it done my man!

So do I! The only one who's been a good fit for me since the 70's ended is @Renegade. We could cross continents together (if we weren't so old and fucked) and we'd both instinctively know how the other would react to any given situation. So we're not on edge watching what the other one is doing. I do miss riding with the toothless old fucker.......however, I don't miss being seen with him in public when we get off the bikes though.

What pace they're comfortable with......cos I'll adjust up or down accordingly. Also the distance they stay behind you.....not too far and not too close. And whether he's one of those who rides in your blind spot.......which is difficult to do with me because I'm always changing positions in the lane and the road depending on what I see ahead. And it's not a Ride Report because it hasn't actually happened.
