XTreme Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Always makes me think of the Transatlantic Series back in the 70's......I usually did Mallory on the Sunday and Oulton on the Monday. Somewhere en-route between the two circuits we'd usually end up pissed and sleeping in a ditch! Then stagger round the track the following day! No such avenues of pleasure are open to me these days! Now I'm old, exiled in a foreign country, there's a killer on the loose, and it looks like it's going to fucking rain! I'm Livin' The Dream! Fuckmine! So what's your plans this weekend? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grasshopper Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 I started the weekend with a Friday ride on Charlotte. Not as warm as I thought it was and a bit windy, but still, I love riding my Honda so very much. Stopped at the water to enjoy the beautiful view as the sky was looking cool. I was hoping to see some seals, as there was a bunch hanging around yesterday, but no luck. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is on an ancient Kawasaki custom bike and the other is running in his spanking new Triumph Trident........so my Himalayan may just be the fastest of the three? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mess Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 We are celebrating (as much as Lynne and I can with the lockdown) with all restaurants closed for the next month I am roasting a prime rib roast with all the fixings including Yorkshire puddings. We have officially paid off all our debt! No more mortgage and all other debt is finally gone. It feels fucking great. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a great feeling. you are going to be amazed at how nice it is to not have that worry. It's like i'm free now and i can say screw it! if i don't want to work today then nope not going to do it. It took way longer than i thought it would but as you know housing costs here in Vancouver are insane. I never in a million years thought when i was young that my crappy house here in Delta would ever be worth well over a million bucks. Vancouver's done. there is no way a young couple alone can afford to buy a house here, a frigging condo ( flat for you euro types) start at $800000+ grand 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mo' Molle gear to the rescue! nah, he's supposed to be getting a new chair with a fonction that will "verticalise" him. ie move him into an upright position. He's tried one and though the upright position is good the chair is less good with manouverabilit and less capable outside on the broken pavements etc. We need to see if there's options available to remedy that, Oh yeah, the base model costs 26,000€ which is more than my car cost new... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
