  1. It looked like a home made trap, its a plastic bottle with the top cut off and put back in the bottle upside down so things can get in but not out, i disposed of it after i saw it. I didn't realise it was in the photo until i got home.
  2. Talking of that, were you anywhere near Porth today i think you left this on site
  3. Unfortunately Bob i'm a bit anal i like them on there. I've put the old torn ones on there for now and they look ok but i'm loosing sleep over it
  4. Fucking hooligan your old enough to know better was one of the lines a copper used on me in the past
  5. I was going to say his photo could do with some photoshopping to clean it up lol
  6. Picked up the new rad shroud for the Beta today, bad news was you can only buy them in pairs good news was the pair was only £34 but then i was hit with the really bad news the graphics come separate which i already knew but didnt know you have to buy a kit for the whole bike they don't split them and the kit is £120 Shroud fitted will have to wait for the graphics as the bike is a new model he didn't have any in stock
  7. You still sound unclear even in HD
  8. Was @busabeast driving that tanker at 5 minutes he gave that banking a good dig LOL
  9. Fuck I've only just got home i was going to submit this one no problem if it's too late there's plenty of good ones in there this month
  10. I posted that up before but no fucker on here was interested you just can’t educate pork Bob
  11. I’ve been thinking about this since and not because I might hurt myself which is what I should be worried about more what happens if the bike breaks down it would be hard to push it out of there on my own
  12. Same here but I think of it as all the disadvantages of a car and bike in one vehicle same as a motorcycle and sidecar but I wouldn’t mind having a go of a motorcycle and sidecar
  13. If he's drunk everything is enjoyable try it next time you go shopping in Baza LOL
  14. Better still he can come down and show me on my bike LOL
  15. Not the one in the photo i'm too scared to commit, I play it safe get the front over so the sump guard is resting on the log then stand on the log straddling the bike to get the rear over. I have no problem getting the front over just the rear. If my mate was with me i would probably have had a go on that one because he would have
  16. I think it's £51 for the shroud plus whatever the graphics cost as they come separate.
  17. Funny enough Pedro it's like that here when Swansea twats turn up
  18. I was chatting to some bird on a horse a few weeks back when i stopped for her to pass, she also rode bikes and had a Desert Sled and was a really nice girl we had a good chat but by fuck she fat her stomach was resting on the horses neck all i could think was the poor thing must be suffering (the horse not her) it was a sturdy welsh cob and she was miles from home on it
  19. In this case the BOAT is a Byway Open to All Traffic, It seems that Merthyr council have been sly dogs and not put one of the byways on the map and nobody knows it exists, that was until they had a sly meeting where they have proposed closing it which meant they had to put it on their page for the public to see and luckily somebody spotted it, so the plan today was to ride up to it and ride it while it's still legal which is a bit ironic because everywhere i rode to get to it isn't legal LOL. Anywho set out around 08:00 this morning, it was quite frosty and was -1.5c but with clear blue sky's and very sunny. I had around 3 miles of road riding before i got off road and after the first mile i was already thinking about turning back to put warmer gear on the heated grips were working overtime trying to keep my hands warm inside my summer enduro gloves but i stuck it out because temperature is a different story when you hit the dirt This is the mountain where i spotted that tetradactyl before LOL This was one of the legal lanes, it felt a bit exposed to the right now that everything is dying back for the winter, the bridge carries the A470, Merthyr to the right and Cardiff to the left I ride up past my parents house and onto trials of my past heading down towards the old Cefn Glas railway tunnel as i have done many times before Further on i have to cut through the forestry to avoid a deep mud hole i didn't fancy riding though it on my own and risk getting stuck, the cold has gone now and i'm feeling quite warm After the forestry it opens out to this moorland, a stretch of land I've hated riding from the age of 16 as it's riddled with ruts hidden by the long grass its quite slow going picking your way through the ruts although I've seen good riders go through here like it's tarmac Back into the forestry and its still frosty in the shade all the water from here on is frozen typical Merthyr weather I end up taking a detour due to get around fallen trees and end up having to negotiate this, something i wasn't comfortable doing on my own and as usual it doesn't look that steep in the photos but believe me it was and i'm now steaming hot and sweaty This is the last time you see my mirror There's a steeper short drop off onto the forest road and i decide to walk the bike down to be safe but i loose my footing when the front wheel drops off the short step and i end up falling down the bank taking my mirror with me when i go back up for the bike it's also taken the Radiator Shroud off where it dragged on the bank knew i should have just ridden down doh! From here there was lots more mud and fallen trees to negotiate and eventually i got onto the Byway i was looking for. The start was nice and easy so i could catch my breath and cool down heading into the sun now An nice drop down into a gully and back up. the trail goes sharp left up to the top left corner of the photo and was similar dropping down to where i am Back on some easy stuff About halfway along i get lost, there's trails going off in all directions and i end up by the Abernant railway tunnel it goes from Merthyr to Abredare and theres rumours their going to reopen it for walking and cycling This is a photo of the inside from stolen from on line, i would have loved to have got in there again its just under a mile and a half long. I went through there on a Honda 400 superdream when i was 17 years old but it's all locked up now with a thick layer of grease on the gates to deter anyone climbing over One of the fallen trees to get over there were quite a few like this on route no real problem for the mighty Beta And this would take me into Bike Park Wales mountain bike center, the fallen leaves from ere on hid lots of slippery rock which got me all hot and sweaty again A bit more road work to get my onto Heol Cymro which is a half mile steep climb covered in loose rock made worse today by the low sun flickering through the trees blinding me From here it was a gentle ride over my mountain to the petrol station for a wash before home You can clearly not see my missing rad shroud here Another good day's riding lit the fire when i got in so it's all toastie in here and i'm now sinking a few pints of Skippy piss chilling out
  20. I see horse riders a lot when out on the trials but It's not often i see men on horses, here it seems to be a female thing. Only time i see men on horseback is when there was a hunt on is it the same there
  21. I wanted to put a sad face but the tits on a fish comment turned it into a laugh
