@Pedro Let me offer a different view on this other than Pete's brit bashing comments again, seems to be the highlight of his life bashing his homeland and for some reason awakens the patriot in me i never knew i had Cod fish going up in price has fuck all to do with "taking back control" but everything to do with the war in Ukraine. Russia supplies about 40% of the whitefish that comes into the UK and the government has put a tariff on that, forcing the UK to go elsewhere and driving prices up. and it's more like a 50% increase not 70% also buying fish and chips in a restaurant has always been expensive you can buy what you had in a good fish and chip shop for under £10 and i'm willing to bet it would taste better. Not seeing young couples around is not unusual here as the weekends were reserved for the lads/girls night out sort of thing, even when me and the wife were courting we would go our separate ways on the weekends she would be out with her friends and i would be out with mine and we would meet up at the end of the night sound like not much has changed lol The cost of living in the UK is high i agree but the average wage here is something like 50% higher than Spain or Portugal so it's all relative. I've never understood the fascination of coffee £2.50 is cheap for shit coffee or good coffee it's like a fashion thing here good job i don't like it. As for the Poo if it was human Poo you must have been the unluckiest person in the UK at that time to have found some in the street to step in, only once i can remember having to watch out for human Poo and that was when i was working a night shift in a bank in Newport the underground car park was inhabited by some homeless Junkies and they were shitting everywhere but i seen the same type of homeless junkies hiding away when we stopped in one of the town ports on our cruse to Norway so i assume every country in the world has them Cant explain the search at the ferry port probably looked a bit shifty LOL but i have been searched a few times at air ports so your not alone, unfortunate about the Leatherman but fixed blade knives are banned in the UK for good reason and i've seen a few posts on bike forums in the past warning people not to travel with them or remove the blade if they can for the trip

@Pedro i like the way you are excited to see the horses roaming freely, its quite common near me so i don't take it in as you did and just ride by but i do remember being like that the first time i saw them

Not sure what i'll be doing yet, a phone call tomorrow will determine my day

Many years ago i was riding my dirtbike down a back lane where i lived and a bit of mud flew up off the front tyre and landed on my nose as it has done many times before except this time when i wiped it across my face with my gloved hand it soon became apparent it was dog shit i had to get new gloves and a helmet after that one. When it comes to dog shit i have a very weak stomach

No, why would i flounce when i know that staying here will annoy the fuck out of everyone

Thanks but i haven't taken any photos of the bike when i was out this month which is unusual for me

You don't read anything do you he had that for breakfast

I have to agree with @Slowlycatchymonkey i know not of the extreme control you speak of, i do what i want when i want for example i past the Baffle Haus you visited today in my works van doing over 80 mph if anything it's more out of control here with CCTV footage to prove it

Without tasting what you have there i can't make a direct comparison hence the "They do a version of it in the supermarkets here" comment

They do a version of it in the supermarkets here and i do have it in work sometimes for dinner, it's a bit alien to me but i don't dislike it.

So do you prefer your bacon cooked or raw now LOL

Its just selective editing Bob i like this version

I'm just too disgusted to comment Bob

Problem is Pedro you were in Yorkshire a beautiful place but it has to be to make up for the horrible twats that live there met a few and had the same experience LOL

Book marked to read later stuck in work at the moment

I'm heaving for her

Your F800 and my Africa twin use the same battery. the one i bought for my 650 cost £25

That's where you fucked up Bob you should only mix it with Jagermeister i had to stop drinking it because the last time i was at the Bruce Polard rally tanked up on jager's i was laying in bed with my heart beating like a humming birds and it cost me the last three dragon rally's i didn't attend

I just bought a new battery from Supac for the Africa Twin and it was £40

I’ve used these since I was 16 back then they used to make their own batteries not sure if they do mail order though https://www.supac.co.uk/

My oversize tank turned up tonight which was a surprise as it said the delivery date was the 5th of October, all i need now is a bike to fit it on

Shared it on the TRF page

Look we get it, Skippy's downpipes are filthy no need to keep on you'll give him a complex

If it arrives with a beard and tits it could well be mine

And did you ride it home come on tell us about it
