Sir Fallsalot

Dropped to 13.6c here but doesn't feel cold at all

That's about the only thing i really worry about when out on my own its not what it should be as in falling and getting injured its what happens if i break down i have recovery but some of the places the bike would have to be air lifted out i don't think that's included in my cover

I got some karma thrown at me today after trying to wind you up about us having better weather here i decided to go out on the bike for a few solitary hours this afternoon and at my furthest point from home the heavens opened and i got drenched because i was dressed for the "good weather " and while out i stopped to talk (keeping a good distance) to someone i came up behind tip toeing along the trail on a triumph tiger 800 and his name turned out to be Fred Jones which we both had a chuckle about

There was a similar pair down our way when i was in my early teens, me and a mate used to be stalking in the woods shooting at anything that did or didn't move and would often bump into this guy practicing martial arts of some form on a tree, Dai Kung we called him he had twin brother that done the same, when they were together they were called the kungs

Yeah i heard the druggies down there wouldn't pick up after them

so your into water sports eh I cant believe @XTreme missed this opportunity to be vulgar but somebody has to lower the tone

Its 21:44 here and its neither too hot or too cold i can have them open or closed just saying

26c here at the moment that's hot enough

That water looks so clear, clear and cold

So we should be good then because it only kills Americans

Yes i agree the pancakes need to be on a separate plate and treated as a different meal like dessert

I just spent the last few hours cutting and cleaning up what little vegetation we have around the house i have now earned the next six months off

That's not how i experience it here. There's plenty of good weather to ride and all year not just the summer months obviously when it rains it bloody rains. If you stay away from the tourist traps the roads are quiet, admittedly i have seen an increase in people out where i ride since covid but hoping that will change once foreign travel starts again and people slip back into their old life. Big towns will always have traffic there's no getting away from that pretty much the same everywhere so i avoid them as much as i can. If i go away for a two week holiday i always find myself pining for home i enjoy just being here even if i'm just sat about doing nothing couldn't imagine leaving it behind

I get the impression your deliberately remembering and reciting all the bad things you experienced in Wales because you are suppressing the feelings of being seriously homesick just a thought

Don't forget your gallon is smaller than ours so you wont get as far with it

I'm going to book myself in for a proper test over the weekend, I've had both jabs so only concerned about spreading it if i have a positive test on the weekend. I think i'll be off work next week if his test is positive tomorrow could really do without it

Fucking great just had a message off the lad i've been working with all week saying he's failed two DIY covid lateral flow tests, said he's going to have a proper test tomorrow. I've just done a test myself and its negative

I've sort of given up on the environmentally friendly side of fuel use, As long as there's people in boats burning a £1000 worth of fuel in a weekend i don't think the amount of fuel i burn in a year is going to make the slightest difference to the environment

The only thing i like about football is it gives me quieter roads and trails

Cant say I've noticed a change

I'm with you and i don't watch read or listen to anything that mentions it and then i come on here and there it is here's some Mems to cheer you and me up

Infection rates will rise but have the death rates risen, you can test positive after having two jabs but are less likely to die is this what we are seeing now ?

This is what 70mph feels like on my 400 and 650 And this is what 70mph feels like on the Africa twin

Doesn't apply to me i have all three sizes which i think everyone needs

And still standing my shed here is rotten after a mere 25 years
