Funny enough I did think about doing just that but the thought of someone like you picking us up put me off. There’s all sorts of boring cunts out there you know 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m on a camp site with proper facilities I just choose which one I go to and how long we stay. We were moving on today but our walk out and stop in the pub took longer than expected so staying at this place again tonight and moving on tomorrow that’s the beauty of this I do what I want when I want there’s no schedule to follow don’t need to book anything I just turn up, I”m laying in bed watching a film at the moment the wife is sleeping beside me. I can’t see what Pete”s big problem is with someone doing something other than working themselves to death, watching Netflix, travelling 2 hours to get a cup of tea or having a two hour ride into waste land twice a month. Now I could say what a waste of a life but I won’t because it’s not my life 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if you had a proper Motorhome, or even a Caravan, I could understand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but I’m happy to do that if I have to but I won’t need to this time of year. There are plenty of public toilets in holiday areas if it came to that so no problems there 7 minutes ago, Pedro said: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 On my way back to Spain…….well I will be at 0610 in the morning so for now I’m plotted up at the airport. I have a bag that needs to go into the hold so I can’t check-in until about 4am which means I can’t go through security to where the bars are…….no, I’m stuck with coffee shops instead. Schoolboy error. The upside is that there’s a stunningly beautiful woman a few metres away and she definitely has all the moves. Swished across the coffee shop with coffee in hand, I swear she just glided a few centimetres above the floor. I wonder if I could impress her with my best chat-up lines? I reckon she’d be impressed 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTreme Posted October 10, 2023 Author Share Posted October 10, 2023 Just degreased the back wheel. I do this a couple of times a year Cos when I lube the chain I clean it up with WD40, but after a while it gets very sticky and dirt clings to it even more. Absolutely clean now! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTreme Posted October 10, 2023 Author Share Posted October 10, 2023 Chain now lubed so I'm all ready to go! You should see the state of chains on Spaniard's bikes.....I don't think they have any idea whatsoever that it's a regular item of maintenance. Very rare to see one that looks clean, lubed, and properly adjusted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a person the other day who couldn't understand why his bike was hard to push out of his garage, his chain was brown with rust and he had 10psi in the front tyre ......... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
