Sir Fallsalot

That's because you don't live here and probably didn't go past your front door today

People trying to get fuel today was like this

Sorry Pedro didn't proofread it after posting hopefully I've made it a bit more legible now

Needed blood taken this morning so had a day off and was going to have a quiet day chilling out, after the doctors i thought i'd add my new bike and the daughters car to my list of tax MOT and insurance due dates and realised the old Africa twin was due its MOT today. Phoned the place i take it and he said he'd fit me in which made me think i could get a ride in after, great that's my day off all planned and i was out after topping up the air in the tyres. Because i don't listen to the news i hadn't a clue why there were long ques at fuel stations as i headed up the valley i only found out off the guy doing the MOT what was happening, i needed fuel but i couldn't remember if i'd reset the trip on last fill up or not and then there was the thought had i syphoned any fuel out to put in one of the other bikes as i sometime do if the bikes been sat there for a while, anyhow i decided to ride and if the opportunity arrived on route i'd fill up but every fuel station i passed was heaving with dipshits panic buying so i kept going, after a while i was getting pissed off with not being sure of how much fuel is in the tank and its not the kind of tank you can see in without a torch so decided to head home i hadn't hit reserve yet so i was ok to get home on what the bike holds in reserve. On the way back i decided to take the old girl over Eglwysilan mountain i was going to stop to look at the view but there was an eerie fog rolling in so took a quick couple of photos and headed home. When i got home i got the torch out to look in the tank as i couldn't hear anything slopping about when i shook it, to my surprise there was nothing in there i'd left the bike on reserve last time i was out and forgotten about it another few miles and i'd have been walking

Now i have to ask this is there a reason why you didn't get the old tank resprayed and sell the new one on

There was a lot of them there

Great job @boboneleg looks like it should have been that colour from the factory. Did they let you keep the old tank

This is definitely me

And the six months after that when the sun comes out again

Initially Yes but that comes off with a bit of WD40 and on the dirt bikes i don't care they get covered in worse crap than that anyway

@XTreme I'll have you know my chains are almost self cleaning since I've been using gear oil on them Look at this all i done is hose the bike off and add oil to the chain no effort used at all

I hope they didn't put the thermometer in your mouth to check your temperature

Perhaps we could also remember this earlier post as well

There was a small rock step just before on a steep up hill the bike is on the flat after, i thought i would be clever and pop a wheelie up it but i overdone it a bit, when the rear wheel hit it bucked me off but i didn't let go and i couldn't reach the clutch which ended up almost flipping it. Your right though get up all the hard stuff and do that on something relatively easy I am really impressed the mudguard survived there isn't a mark or stress line anywhere yet the flexible number plate has a permanent crease now

Just as we pulled in for fuel it pissed down, Laurie found that scrounging in the rubbish put it on thinking he was sorted for the day by the time we finished food it had all dried up he kept it on for a few hours just in case

Yes to one of the lads in the TRF which reminds me he owes me a Pint

Had a good ride today the route certainly wore the newness off the Beta, There were two groups of 8 but two of our group failed to show due to a busted wheel on their trailer which had them stranded on the M4. Some of the lanes were tough for our group but i'm sure the other group got around no problem. It was 122 miles from door to door for me and i was out 10 hours no wonder i feel pooped. Just a few photos and videos taken of a couple of the lanes we didn't stop much and when we did photos were the last thing on our minds This was our band of merry men you can see flat Holm and Steep Holm in the distance just off Cardiff bay, The weather stayed good all day Some kind of hold up ahead This was it one of many obstacles to negotiate throughout the day A lot of the lanes were like this which were easy going and the rest were like this which is quite a steep and rocky Alan this is your old CCM Further up the hill The Beta at the bottom waiting patiently for it's turn There was lots of waiting, being the tail ender meant i couldn't see what was going on and just had to wait there was a big rock in the way on this one there seemed to be big rocks in the way all day though. The guy in front of me here called it a day after this lane he had had his fill and headed home Shortly after something spooked the Beta and it tried to escape up a tree Not to self let the bike go don't try and hold onto it Last of the videos this is called pumphouse lane its got a bit rougher since the last time i done it, I dropped the Beta on this one, I got up the hard bit went to put my foot down and i couldn't reach the floor and over it went, sure was easy to pick up though. More of Alans old bike being punished And this was the best effort of the day he was on a CRF250 rally It was a tough day with a good bunch of lads all willing to help each other along Last photo for you Pete just before i washed it. i do wash them i just don't do a very good job

I was out with your CCM today i got some footage of it being abused for you

Why you don't go out when its hot anyway

Won't happen it's taken him years to find out how a still camera works and then years to work out how to post the results

Yes that's what i'm thinking, might be a Christmas present for myself so hoping to see some discounts/offers then

Count me in I find cameras can make these tracks look a lot worse than they are but for some reason make a steep hill look relatively flat

I think it last for a year he's some info i found on it https://www.digitalcameraworld.com/uk/buying-guides/gopro-subscription-explained-what-you-get-and-is-it-worth-it
