Some great pics pete, I just get the feeling you aren't going to be happy unless you find a corpse out in the desolate abandon wastes you visit. Managed my 64 mile commute to work and back yesterday on the bike in the sun.

Zhang vs Uysk gonna be an interesting fight.

I absolutely hate these places. At least I made a little friend

Yeah me and the Mrs enjoyed that

Wow that was a close shave, glad you came through ok. Good idea for a thread though. I have had a couple of close calls but the one that sticks out to me for sheer stupidity happened when I was a teenager, funnily enough. I never learned to swim, even though I lived by the coast my whole life it didn't interest me. Anyway one night I and a load of mates went across the river to a disco at the Waterfront Yacht club in Polruan. 20 or so of us travelled across the river in a mates 14 foot punt. Way to many and we only had about 6 inches of freeboard, but we were young and daft and no fucks were given. All good, we made it to Polruan had a cracking night all pissed as mattresses. Much giggling and carry on coming back across the river and a daft twat in the bow decided it would be a good idea to dip his head in the water to clear it, he managed much more than that with such little freeboard the bow dipped under than the boat went straight down. Now we are all bobbing in the river, luckily for us it was summer, flat calm and warm. Unluckily for me I was in the middle of the river and couldn't swim, after some drunken panic the Eliot twins dragged me across the river to safety. They were two stunning 5'11" girls who both swam competitively. Thank goodness they were there as I wasn't the only idiot that needed help. We all got out fine and still laugh about it now but things could have gone the other way quite easily, the Lifeboat Cox corned us all at different times and gave us a well earned severe bollocking. We should have known better. But it was a valuable life lesson and I took swimming lessons as soon as I could after that.

That is cheaper than I thought it would be, not that I really looked into it just thought Ducati mega bucks.

Maybe, depends if we are out when its on, if I am in the office I will get a chance to see it. Always the radio

Easy weekend for me working Sat 10:00 to 16:00 and Sunday 22:00 to 08:00 almost like a holiday.

Told you I am like a cat now.

Nah she is young and giddy/feisty. For some odd reason she is called Blackberry (Berry) and belongs to my mate. His girls won’t ride her as they haven’t the confidence. My Chloe is fearless and has taken to her, they rub along pretty well together most of the time. To the point that Chloe begged her mother to loan Berry for her, which she has. Now all of that is second hand as I know next to fuck all about the hairy great things.

I am like a cat now, always land feet down.

Just finished watching Sherwood on BBC iplayer. Bloody brilliant, binge watched it in two nights. Worth a look if you like detective stuff and remember the Miners Strike.

No ACF50.

Are out of your fucking mind . I wouldn’t get on one of those things. No clutch. Anyway it would have to be a big fucker to carry me Also the bleddy thing was playing up today and wouldn’t do as it was told. Poor Chloe was in tears during her lesson as she got so frustrated. All good in the end but you would never get me on one ever.

I was only messing with her mate, I didn't mind really. Up to your ankles in mud is part of rural life here and I suspect most places, now having the wrong shoes on in it could be a bit of a pisser

Stunning Pedro.

Just been messing on YouTube sorting some horse vids and came across this video of my old Chinky CG clone. I took this video for part of my for sale add and it shows the condition of the bike after 4 years and 12k miles of commuting. Just goes to show that Chinese stuff can last if it is looked after.

I still dunno mate, the weather is just that here, part of life as is the warmer stuff where you are. I enjoyed some quality time with my youngest, she spent some quality time with her horse and had a jumping lesson. And from what I could tell the horse had some fuss, love and attention. Got to tear around the riding school like a mad thing and had a good workout. Nothing horrible about any of it to my mind.

I dunno mate she was washed, brushed, fed, prepped and spent an hour in the riding school. Pretty much what they like.

Stopped now mate Did have some pretty heavy showers this morning though.

Got roped in to take my youngest riding this morning. Normally not my thing at all but sometimes you gotta do the Dad thing. Actually I quite enjoyed it although I will never admit it to her or I would be up the stables all the time and I just don’t have the time for it. Wish I did.

I know we have been talking about the Honda CT125 and how good or crap we individually think it is, I thought it was relevant how good its grandad the C90 was off road green laning in this video. I remember being an L plate hero with loads of my mates mostly with small dirt bikes. One who was not as well fixed financially had a C90 his dad gave him. That C90 went everywhere we did, as demonstrated in the context of this video.

See that's the shocker I remember when the old lady in question bought the scoot new as she lived close to me and it was parked in the square where I live. I always thought it looked pretty nice when I saw her ride it or it had the cover off, obviously it got left when her health failed but apart from not being garaged it lead a charmed life. As I said I was shocked when I got it to bits and saw how bad it really was. I knew it needed a front master cylinder, battery and maybe tyres but thought a good clean and a polish would have it something like it, sadly mistaken. I sort of hope the newer stuff is better quality but I wouldn't bet on it.

Oy! fuck nuts I will have you know I am not even limping now
