Skippy

I like what you’ve done with your lounge.

According to the local tourist information blurb, there’s been a mine there since Roman times, but certainly in the 1950s they were mining lead, copper and some other things.

Can’t take them up there mate, I haven’t got a sidecar.

Yeah man

Well, this bloke got in @XTreme

You’re obsessed with death and destruction aren’t you? Next time I am up that way, I’ll go past and see if it’s possible. I’m pretty sure it’s fenced off for a reason though

Went exploring in the old Mazarron mines today on the mountain bike. Not that far but about 60% of the 30klms was off road so plenty of effort needed. Loads of gravel. Legs felt a bit wobbly when I got home. All the buildings have fallen into disrepair but plenty to snoop around. Quite spooky really. I bet @XTreme will wank himself into a stupor when he sees the deprivation and total devastation.

No chance, they might have invited me in for a undisclosed period of time.

A couple of photos from a short trip today. North from Mazarron and across the Sierra Espuna towards Pliego and Mula. From there, east towards Archena and finally north along the Ricote Valley to Blanca. Fantastic scenery, great roads and no traffic. No dramas and home in time for tea and medals.

That’s true that is.

Got some DIY shit to do around the house tomorrow but Sunday looks like I’ll be out. A couple of options but I’ll decide on the day.

I didn’t do anything but he accused my missus of doing something without any proof and waited until I was out of the house so he could have a right go at her. Now, I’m a fairly level headed and mild sort of person until some cunt pushes my buttons and then it all gets a bit messy. My missus asked me not to punch him because then I’d end up in the local police station and she’d have to deal with it on her own so I tried my best over the course of a couple of months to keep the peace for her sake. However, he went too far one day and I was having one of those days when being sensible completely evaded me so I made it clear that I was going to batter the fuck out of him. Typical gobshite bully wouldn’t come out of his house. Never so much looked in my direction again……..just like today.

Do you mean today or a few years ago when the original problem started?

Bumped into my old neighbour in the local pet shop……….he couldn’t look at me and walked past with his eyes down. Stood right behind him in the queue to pay. It was hilarious because he fucking hated it. It was possibly the highlight of my day.

Great quality stuff, I’ve got the Givi Tanklock stuff and it’s decent but not as good as the SW Motech gear in my view.

Ambition exceeded ability. Trust me, I know this.

A photo of my Honda XLR 650 L from several years ago on a trip over to the old East Germany, down through the Czech Republic and back home via Italy, Switzerland and France. One of my favourite all-time bikes.

About €235 I think, it may go up a bit this year but only by a few euros.

It’s even better close-up.

Oh dear
