Sir Fallsalot

And i presume that's not because of your OP

Yeah batteries are strange' i took my old Africa twin for an MOT years ago, rode up there and back no problem went in my house to sort myself out for a ride and when i turned the key half hour later the bike was dead not a light on the dash a new battery later and it was fine

I've exhausted the usual local lanes here now so started turning to the stuff i haven't done for years to get my fix, done a lot of illegal stuff today because I've done the legal stuff far too often and there's sooo much road work if you stick to the legal stuff it was good to get on some of the old routes.

Their 5.9% so not sure what your drinking

I'm only on the 330ml bottles though hic

Good to hear you got it all going again what was the fix after

Its this lovely stuff https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/283910400

To interpret what i mean by abused body while I've been sat here surfing the net I've eaten two packs of crisps 4 cup cakes and drank 5 bottles of desperados

Type two the abused body disease LOL This is the only physical exercise i do to combat the disease and i don't do it enough but i'm trying because there's no way my diet is going to help

Wanted to have a couple of hours out today to check out two lanes out Llandegfedd way but it turned into an afternoon of trail riding and extreme exercise. The weather conditions and the ground after the rain last night were perfect for trail riding not too hot and loads of grip with no dust. No planned route just followed my nose taking in a few lanes on route there and back didn't take many photos on route This one is heading up to Twmbarlwm mountain stopped to open a gate a bit tricky starting off again on the loose ground This is the view in the opposite direction if it wasn't so murky you could see the Severn bridge from here i did give Bob a wave as he's in that direction Almost On the top This was the first lane i wanted to check out as i hadn't done it before, Its only a short one The thought i hadn't done it before disappeared here as i remembered this drop i had been on a ride not too long ago when we rode this but was following not leading so you don't know where your are or where you've been as a follower This was the other lane i wanted to check out i have done it before but couldn't remember it so wanted to do it again. its all up hill in this direction Just inside the gate was this sign for the ones not in the UK that means max speed of 60mph for us, i later discovered you needed to be doing 60 to get up here On the other side it had a 30mph sign to tell you to slow down as you enter the farmyard The track was a little washed out At this point i discovered a kickstart only bike was not a good idea in this lane i stalled it here and guess which side the kickstart is on. Ended up having to drag the bike to here so i could get a swing on the kickstart. Had to let the bike cool because it was suffering a bit which also gave me a chance to cool down i also trimmed some of the nettles and brambles to make it easier next time and then realised there wont be a next time dopey bastard I thought that was the last of the tough bits but there was more to come the slab rock was incredibly slippery and cambered to the right which is where the rear wheel went every time i touched the throttle, turning around wasn't an option as it was far too narrow and i'm too bloody stubborn so it was tough it out it was also overgrown When i eventually got out i had to adjust the clutch cable as i'd lost all the free play on it, never had to do that before. Another welcomed rest here waiting for these girls to exit the milking shed on their way back to the field I decided to head home from here as i was fooked took the road past Llandegfedd reservoir the water level looks low I did do a few lanes on the way back they were also overgrown reminding me why i normally ride this area in the winter time

Don't bikes come with center stands anymore they make so many things easy

I made a mistake when i googled it says your supposed to roll them in flower

I thought that only worked with women

He probably wouldn't need vodka with the prescription shots he's having

You got cheese and crackers as well your just being greedy

That sounds like the bulldog bash been a few times but i prefer the smaller rallies, they used to get about 40,000 there, last time i was there was about 20 years ago i think

Yes i only spotted that in the video didn't see it when i rode past

Our ride leader cleared the way for us through the bushes and caught his nose on a bramble he had some leakage

Yes it was a tad warm definitely out of my comfort zone, I usually like riding stuff like that in the winter cooler and less vegetation.

This is even lazier than Pedro's picture report This is some video of our ride on Tuesday if you care to watch, Its a bit long but shows the type of terrain we ride oh and the music or noise as i call it stops after about 2 mins not my video BTW. I make an appearance about 9:40

I prefer this version of it

He used to be in Merthyr i was wondering where he went

Last day tomorrow so i'm out on the bike all day the heat will probably kill me but needs must, Back to work Wednesday got a feeling i'm going to be asked to work weekends as the job i was doing has fallen behind hence the reason for going out tomorrow

Good news @Swagman My blood glucose was up to 78 in February and the last test i got it down to 43 eating the most bland diet ever because i just don't like healthy food, my next test is in 2 months don't know what that's going to be like after working away for a week and 10 days isolating as i cant seem to stick to any diet when i'm not in work as sad as it is work gives me a routine that i can stick to

Lovely place Canterbury i haven't been there to look around for about 30 years it's one of the places i used to visit when attending the Kent custom show back in the late 80's. I did have a flying visit in 2010 when i bought my CB1000
