What I used to do was upload all the images into photobucket or whatever it was called and then copy the image codes into a word document with a clue next to each so I knew what they were. Then I would write out the text into Word and paste the image codes in between the text in the right places. Finally copy and paste the whole thing into Pete's little box. Now if I wanted to do it the same way I download the pictures into my Versys forum photo area and grab the codes from there. Photobucket wanted mucho money carry on doing that so fuck 'em.

What have you captured under you blue crate trap, is it lunch?

Every thread on any bike forum I read that has a bike that won't start always has the words, 'it's been plugged into an Optimate at all times' in it. I can't be the only person seeing a pattern emerging here.

Sort of a picture taken today. Taken out of my bedroom window today in 2017 according to FB. In answer to the question, "Have you had a few snow flurries?", I replied, "Had another 5 inches since then, but not in a good way!"

Don't damage the pinlock, they cost a fortune. Work a treat though, mine have never fogged.

Aren't you supposed to get the tyres off the cold ground?

I'm on my third one of those. I chose it because the visor opening is larger so I can see to the side better, plus when riding into very strong sunlight, that even the tinted drop down can't cope with, I can dip my head a little and use the peak as a shade. The peak does not try to rip your head off at motorway speeds either.

I got followed by a girl beggar in a wheel chair in Fes moaning that I hadn't given her enough money and getting a bit shouty, she would not leave me alone till I used a flight of stairs to get away. It also has the smelliest tannery in the old town, make your hair fall out if you take a deep breath.

Took me a few seconds, but I got there in the end.

Not today but less than 24 hours ago. Autumn on the canal. James Delaney's house in Taboo I know I'm a little bit colour blind, but the old setts outside the house are so blue, not the same in a photo though.

I don't want to change my car yet as I've only had it 14 years so it's not old enough yet, but when I do, I want one with a heated front windscreen. The only time I usually seem to use the thing is on really cold frosty or icy mornings and I don't just hate scraping and defrosting the windscreen before I can leave home, I doubly hate having to stop 100 yards down the road to do it again.

The train is there to dominate the scene and stop you looking at whatever the other thing is in the picture.

I recall my mate getting a car with heated seats years ago. He said his wife didn't like them because she said it felt like she had wet herself.

I am not a muff fan (ooer) but I do actually own some (a few pairs actually) and have used them when it is super cold weather. I have found that as previously stated, wrap around handguards are a must to stop your brake light coming on and to keep the inner part open for you to reach the controls. I always end up using a few zip ties at the opening to keep them exactly where I want them, keep switches clear and make putting my hands in an out easy. This means putting holes in them of course. I usually only manage a few days before I get annoyed with them. My main gripe is that I sometimes have to pull my bike backwards whilst standing at the side which is hard to do with a bar muff on and my left hand on the grip and impossible if I need to turn the handlebars left as I go backwards.

I had some woman called Delyth talking about her 'Yeurs' to me in Wales once. I thought she was talking about her experiences a long time ago. It was only when I caught the word 'yeurings' that I realised she was talking about her lug holes.

Try saying Kilogram instead of just Kilo, that might help.

Asking for directions from strangers doesn't seem half as daunting now as it did before I read this thread.....

You didn't really think that sentence through did you?

I cleared my PPE and personal lockers at work yesterday. There was a large tin of dog food which is left over from the days I used to feed the yard dog Scruff after Ted died. It's been there since the dog was removed from the yard for biting people once too often. I carried it to the bins on top of a load of old diaries and old paper work, got some very funny looks from other office users that don't know me.

They're not silly, notice how the tables are not under the monstrosity!

Yeah, but look at all the beauties you have lined up for the next one. Bamboozle would be a good name for your monkey. Make sure to get one that is pannier sized.

It's just started working again, quick before Pete fucks it up again.

Shit on the road at work today, all coming out of the one building site. No washing down vehicles just a few blokes with brooms pushing it about. I dobbed them in, we don't want the Deliveroos sliding on it in the dark do we.

I go to work and when I come back you have broken his website, what are you like?

Best pictures yet, despite the lack of meunkeys!
