Sir Fallsalot

For you yes LOL The last 5 bikes are probably the ones I've owned the longest I bought the XR400 in 2007, the dog in 2009, the XRV750 in 2010, the CB1000 in 2011 but sold it in 2021 the CRF1000 in 2016 and I've just had the tax reminder for the Beta so I've had that a year already

11 but what I've owned I've kept a long time i still own 4 of them LOL

No that was me i know you only the best for you

A lot have voted for this bike Fuck off you annoying cunt! never heard of that make of bike is it Chinese

No we just don't move in the same circles same with my other brother and sister their not into bikes so we never bump into each other

Swansea Style

You only get water in the engine if you submerge the bike, riding through is no problem

I think desert sled as well

It was only the one contract with the company he normally worked on bridges haven't a clue what he does for a living now through LOL

My eldest brother had a job working on a lighthouse off the coast somewhere many years ago, the only way on and off was by helicopter every day and he hates flying. He had to do all the crash training to go with it which was being thrown in the sea with a survival suit to get a real feel of what it would be like if the chopper went down. After one flight across he bought a sleeping bag, camping mat and some food the second day he told them he was staying in the lighthouse for the rest of the week because he was a quivering wreck on the helicopter, The next week he went prepared took his fishing rod and a load of food and lived in the lighthouse for the following three weeks when everyone else flew back everyday, apart from the flight there and back he said it was great

That's a bit up front the poll hasn't started yet oh sorry that's another member

Yes all except where Pete lives

yup we are all old . When my missus and boy were at that rock festival in Barcelona a few weeks ago Kiss were playing all 70 plus and she said they are still great performers.

You cant get a new CRF here either and second hand ones are rare as well

Found it

I've only done it once before when out with a group it didn't have the deep bit this side then i got a video somewhere

Maybe because the Triumph owners club run it

I'm going to a triumph owners rally next weekend in Baskerville Hall just outside Hay on wye but you probably got a better chance of getting a ride report from Hugh Hefner than me on that one LOL

Had a good ride around one of my usual routes Llandovery, Llyn Brianne, Strata Florida, Claerwen Reservoir, Rhayader and home but with a small difference instead of being wet and cold i was hot and wet. As your probably aware we are having a heat wave here in the UK but there was a cool breeze when i was moving so quite a pleasant day. Should have been perfect weather to ride Strata Florida as the water levels would be low on the river which it was except all the puddles were just as deep as any other time Similar photos to the last time i was up this way except the water level is low in Llyn Brianne You can see an old foot bridge here crossing the river used before the valley was flooded in the late 60's its normally submerged One of the river crossings on strata Florida And the puddles were worse they were murky so i couldn't see the hidden rocks in them @XTreme i think i found an endless supply of milky tea for you do you want me to bottle it and ship it over LOL Managed to get a video of myself playing in one of the puddles After Strata Florida was Claerwen res never get bored of the views along here Had a run down to Llangammarch Wells from Rhayader cracking road and remembered there was a river crossing there i normally avoid because the water levels are always too high. When i got there it looked good but when i gt past the middle it went deep felt like the bike was starting to float you can see the water line on the fork gators the wave got my thighs wet and my boots filled up with water Stopped here to empty my boots out and wring my socks not a bad place to take 5 and it was home from here

10-4 You missed a trick there Tym

I'm thinking of braving the heat and heading out on the dog, got to 32°c yesterday not the temperature i like riding in. I don't think I've been out on it since welding up the subframe

Yup its hard to believe he gave all that up for a dusty barren land and a fat polish leech
