I am pretty good most of the time I was just bursting for a piss and not focused on the job in hand.

Not necessarily but I do like them as I don't want to be tinkering just jump on and go. I have a mate with a 800 Crosstourer and I liked it, the 1200 is huge though. I do like a GS and an older one would suit me, but I am a bit wary of the reliability of newer BMW's but I am not sure if that reputation is justified, not really researched it that much.

That is interesting Fred. I am not sure if it is grass is greener syndrome with me. I do like the look and reputation of the AF, but I am not sure if I just want something with a bit more kick than my CB500, which itself is quick enough really. Like you I almost invariably change my mind once I go for a ride on it. Just so easy to live with. Perhaps I am looking at things from the wrong side. I do like the look of the new Hornet and that would definitely have more kick but I am missing some wind protection so perhaps the Transalp or NC750X, or even the new Tiger Sport 660. Weight is an issue for me to, 16 years away from rugby and weight training and I am nowhere near as strong or nimble as I used to be when I had bigger heavier bikes. I tipped my CB over in a carpark recently, rushing, and I didn't find it easy to pick it up so there is that to consider. Perhaps I should stop navel gazing and just enjoy what I have.

I am not sure really, more thinking about it, an itch. Not sure if I would trade in my CB500. If I did get an AT would have to lower it. Serious off roading isn't for me. If not an AT I would think of a CBF1000, or VFR 800. More a big comfy tourer territory. I suppose I am more thinking out loud.

I have been looking at a CRF1000 Africa Twin. Would You?

I would be up for it

Funnily enough I was thinking what an eyesore that Virago was. Love the yellow Triumph and the V50.

Yellow only for Bettencourt

Bloody hell now I want one of them as well

Basically he was quite upset with Eddy Jones.

Yep brilliant but he is going to be sent off now, bloody pity. Shaping up to be a great game.

Some supplies for winter and 3 Helmet mounts.

We had Skoda Octavias as Doctors cars, now we have Kodiacs. Bloody good cars. Not without fault but our Octavias were hammered and not really serviced properly. Even so 10 cars over 5 years around 150000 miles each I think we only had 3 breakdowns and one burnt to the ground but that was user error.

Night Manager and Broadchurch are very good

I agree, the problem is everywhere in Cornwall is uphill. Thought about a lectric assist jobbie, but I would rather save the money and walk. Plus there are some stunning walks pretty much right outside my front door. Silly not to.

Got to, to keep me heart going.

I like the look of them and some good reviews as well.

My Haglofs are pretty much done and leaking like a sieve so it’s time to get some new ones. Not against replacing like with like as these have lasted over a year but just wondering if the hive mind has any knowledge to share? The Haglofs were a bitch to break in.

One of my singing groups, Lankelly Shout, has a 1st year birthday party tonight. Tomorrow night I have a concert with Mevagissey Choir in Newquay. May get out on the bike on Sunday.

Had to pop up to the garage so took a quick snap.

Haven't taken a suitable photo this month. I will tomorrow if I get the chance.

The Sinner on Netflix. Riveting very binge watchable.

Sadly I have met a couple of them when I was in York a few years ago. Met some real diamond people also.

Really enjoying this Pedro.
