Skippy

Whereabouts are you mate?

Just gone 10am and now topping just over 34 Celsius. It’s going to be a hot one that’s for sure @XTreme!………predicted to hit the low forties this week.

Well it’s 32.8 here in the shade this morning and it’s only 0930.

Ah right, I quite like the look of them but of course the worry is always reliability.

Looks fabulous Bob, very jealous. Gotta get something to do it on. A bit of a long shot but have you seen anything of Nathan Millward on a Voge 300 Rally? I think he’s taken a group over.

Rode it in a day from mine last summer to meet up with some mates from the UK. On the Himalayan using scenic routes and avoiding all motorways, chugging along at 90 to 100klm per hour. Nearly 600 klms but no problem for the mighty Enfield. Needed several beers that night.

Well mine’s running at 24 degrees and it’s fecking lovely. The government can do one.

He’ll have to purchase some very gaudy clothing first.

Yes get a golf cart thingy @XTreme it’ll suit you ️️️️️️

Thanks for the reminder, I’ll have your bike back and tucked up by 3.30pm…….you won’t notice a thing.

You’ve got no chance then.

Nevermind windmills, do they have ‘personal services’?……….ah sorry mate I forgot you’re accompanied

I bet he wishes he was on his own now, he could probably get a discount being a ginger.

It’ll be raining then. Wettest few years of my life.

I know mate, a basic schoolboy error. Won’t happen again.

Spent all afternoon in the hospital with the Mrs. She was in excruciating pain and I suspected her kidney stones have flared up. She ended up on a drip for a couple of hours and feels better having been dosed up to the eyeballs with antibiotics. I even had to cook my own tea.

Buen viaje Bobunapierna

Okay, so as long as I get the CB back before then it won’t be a problem. Safe trip mate.

As soon as the ground staff see it they’ll probably offer you assistance. How long are you away for?

That would do for me Bob…….must get another dirt bike of some kind to tick the Stella box. Maybe something very unsuitable……….errrr maybe not a DR600S though

Could’ve been similar for us last night as our very nice Belgian neighbours let their place to a Spanish family who then invited at least a dozen more with four dogs between them. Continuous banging euro-pap tunes from one of the cars which they turned up loud enough so they could rave around the pool which is on the other side of the house. Because I was in pirate mode yesterday I was all for asking them ‘politely’ to turn the music down but I was persuaded by the galley maid to video it and send it to our Belgian neighbours. Worked a treat, music went off within a couple of minutes. Apparently our Belgian neighbours rang one of them and told them to turn the fucking music off as there was a convalescing pirate next door. Had a few dirty looks this morning as they shuffled around the garden, a few heavily slammed car doors too. One of them caught his fingers as he shut the drivers door………. laugh? I nearly shat myself.

Oooooh I did t think of that. Must stop drinking rum and start on beer. Actually if someone else buys it for you it doesn’t really count does it?

No, it’s character building. there is a certain sadistic pleasure in doing something you know is gonna get you in trouble. It’s like poking a wasps nest, or riding a motorbike faster than you really should. You know it will end in tears, but you can’t help yourself. Anyway, I can’t spend my time talking to you as I have treasure to plunder, villages to ransack, wenches to entertain and rum to drink. Aaaaaaarghhhhhhhh!

Me right now

Oh fuck yes and we won. Now tucking into rum and coke because today I am a pirate. I might have to walk home from the bar as my missus has refused to come and get me. All part of the adventure. ️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️
