Earache Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I have three guys from Ohio arriving tomorrow - after their 1,300 miles of shit riding across the Midwest (Kansas sucks more than anything in the World) in two days. They'll stay here for a night or two before continuing on westward. Will probably ride with them for a bit Sunday before splitting off and returning home. Pics to follow, of course. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand 1300 miles? To give you a perspective that's about the distance between the south coast of Spain on the Mediterranean to the north coast of France and the English Channel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grasshopper Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Well, I had planned to ride further into the British Columbian wilderness on a trail I'm working on, but with my ride needing a new front brake line, it looks like a maintenance week-end. I am excited though, this maintenance job will allow me to tidy up some of the wiring and give the bike a good clean. (Trying to look on the bright side, but I would rather be riding) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I came to my place for the weekend today, nice cool 23 or 24 for most of the trip, got home, got Maria's car warmed up and went for fruit on it, fixed the toilet, washed my summer jacket, nice day today. Just had dinner, a little bit of goat's cheese, a simple pea sort of curry dish, and too much white wine, got a buzz going and feeling fine. Tomorrow, I'll ride to the hills, and maybe even go to lunch on my favourite restaurant. This area is Portugal's Covid hotspot, so won't go near town. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnomad Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 no riding for me this weekend, the Tiger snapped the rear axle on my way to work and had to come home on a trailer. We've added it to our own BBC, aka Broken British Collection . Triumph parts are a bit hard to find out here in the sticks, and oddly that axle is being hard go find on the internet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the Lockdown, despite still having to be available for clients, I didn't know what to do with myself. After a month it got too much so I did this place!
