Sir Fallsalot

My mate dead Phil always said he'd make sure he didn't draw a pension and he didn't died on the bike riding like a twat

Duh i do ride a Honda

Glad your enjoying it Marcel sadly that's about my annual mileage at the moment

Just put plenty of paper down until you sus it out although my stirrer design might have been flawed, glad i was outside when i done it just took a photo can you tell where the paint tin and my feet were

I made a paint stirrer for the drill because i had some bitumen paint for some outdoor waterproofing that takes some stirring. first go my trainers and joggers went in the bin, the tin cost about £30 and £10 ended up all over me and the floor, the floor is still stained with it LOL

you mean Like this

@Specs i think the seat does break in or your arse does lol although i haven't been anywhere far enough in the last few years to test that theory on mine.

What you have to remember is the bike cost less than £10k so i wouldn't expect it to be as comfortable as a GS but then you could spend 2k on suspension and a better seat and still be £4k better off than buying a GS. I think the Transalp and my Africa Twin when i bought it was built as a blank canvas that you can customise to your own tastes without running the bill up to £20k

That photo is probably cropped by the conspiracy assholes anyone that has more than a 2D mind can see what is going on there this poorly photo shopped image may help you see the truth

I caught it in the corner of my eye as i rode past and an oh fuck what the hell was that entered my head so i turned around for the photo, if it was the middle of the tunnel i might have just kept going and not look back LOL

That's it the old track that went over that bridge came through the tunnel

This is a bit of it but can not remember a gully like that i have ridden it on the 650 the easy way in the past

Yes turn left where the black track ends can go all the way to Merthyr if you want to but very overgrown plod been clamping down i think, i haven't done it this year i just went down to mountain ash and onto ynysybwl

Most air con units can be used as dehumidifiers to a certain extent and they don't only cool things down they can be used to heat rooms as well and they can be more efficient at heating than a normal plug in electric heater.

Nice one Bob Now you have a lighter bike i have the ideal road for you to try it out on LOL

Got out on the bike early this morning before it gets too hot forecast says it could hit 17 deg C today i was out at 07:00 and home by 10:30 Anywho the real reason was to see how my arm would cope on the bike as i haven't ridden it since it started hurting. It was a little foggy at home when i set off so naturally i headed up to my mountain to see if it was clear up there and it was. i wont be surprised if Pete calls photo shop here saying that's not fog it should be black as its coal dust Headed over to one of the hills in the above photo to see if it i could get better shots but it was much the same These are looking into the Cynon valley And this is looking into the Merthyr valley from the same spot I took a few photos on the rock which i shall bore you with. It's a place i used to play and climb as a kid we call it the gap some call it the giants bite but its the gap end of This is below where i took the above photo Looking through the gap You can just make out the radio mast on the left of the hill in the background which is where i took the first two photos Since i was here again i decided to test my lights in the tunnel since repositioning them. They are pretty good the photo makes them better than they are in real life Someone has a sense of humour LOL Headed home from here but wanted to check out a road on the way back I've been talking with the council about getting re opened, I last rode this over 15 years ago cant remember it being this bad though, most of it is relatively easy this is where it starts getting hard, i got off the bike and walked it for the next 200 yards as underneath all the brambles is loose slippery rock and its down hill which the photos don't show well. Its going to need some lane maintenance before its ready to ride and yes this was a road you could drive your car along years ago. Tree was a little low to ride under This old road is only about a mile from my house so it was home from here the arm was ok it didn't hurt anymore riding the bike over rough terrain then it does when i'm sat on the sofa so that's one good thing i suppose.

Looks like you might qualify as well

I think it's just age related with the wife she has been using ear plugs at gigs for years. The boy was born with a hearing defect i was probably told exactly what but as usual i wasn't listening LOL

Yes i cant remember the last time i caught a bus, great for the boy though 19 years old with free bus travel he just caught the bus up to his mates house the stop is 100 yards from the house. saves us running him about lol. I don't think there's anything wrong with the boy though he's just got selective hearing Lol neither of them need or use hearing aids just had to submit their reports from the hospital and away to go i would never of thought of it

I didn't know he was in UFO for a short stint as well

@Slowlycatchymonkey did you know my wife and my boy have both qualified for a free bus pass because they have hearing loss

I know but he wrote it with Coverdale so back at you you nob.

The last Chinese bike you had, had BMW written all over it LOL
