They are very active right now as well. I have lived around Black Bears for years and they are not what I worry about. The grizzly bears are another matter, I will do my best not to get eaten... I have seen a few bears on my journey so far, but never too close for comfort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tym Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 The brown ones need special education skills to handle properly....yet, when you get one to sit and roll over so you can scratch their nipples its worth the effort. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I (rarely) go there, I go on a Tuesday when it can be quiet, but with the kids on summer hols I doubt any day would be quiet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got uncomfortably close to a grizzly once and it very quickly makes you realise just how fragile life is. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We dont broil any meat. Roast, bake, slow cook, grill, fry yes broil nope. How could you miss out BBQ? My go-to cooking method! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 This is better than varnishing doors. Nice sea breeze here. Stopped one short of the turning. Meant to be down there Found the only sliver of shade I could, can’t imagine battery bikes like being fried in the sun. It’s a bit steep, didn’t cross my mind I’d need a handbrake, couldn’t find it, hopefully it still be upright when I get back to it Way too hot for a cup of tea. Nice icey drink and a view of the Brizzle channel and the Severn crossing. Now just need to waste enough time that theres no point starting on varnishing, question is will there be enough charge for that? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Ha there’s no parking brake! Wot an oversight! Apparently there’s some sort of mod you can do but most people bungee the front brake. Harley fucked that up a bit ay! Some guy said he got off and turned back to look at the bike rolling backwards down the road!! You don’t expect to pay top dollar and have to carry a brake lever bungee with you do you?! Mind you what a wally not checking his bike was secure before waking away 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These grippy Velcro strips are good for holding the brake on, flat small. Usueful for lots of things. I’ve actually got one on each leg at the moment holding my flowery trews inside my boot https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0746LNW8M?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
