Fence completed, that’s the garden nearly done now .

I’m 67 on that day

What date ?

I quite like the look of these although most don't. I was just thinking upright seating wide bars and that little gem of a motor doing 80/90mpg, perfect little back road ride.

Mines the 17/9. 60 then

Perhaps the 1100 Rebel could be an option for you

Really looking 4ward to getting to our reserved campsite this afternoon...friends we're camping with already secured it. Packed up the truck yesterday...decided to take the Manual...Mongoose mtn. bike, since I haven't thrown a leg over it for awhile. Just gotta pack up 2 coolers, collect the dogs & we're gone!

Happy birthday for 2 weeks time.. Ip

The thunder and lightning always seems to skirt round us. It’s the only upside of going to see the in-laws in Florida, they have some really good storms. I was standing in the porch way watching a really good thunderstorm a few years back and lightning hit the ground just the other side of the garden fence. I nearly shat myself.

Same here, in two weeks time .

I don’t think it’s that bad.

There is something a bit broke back about it.

It sure is busy down your way

I reckon it's the ugliest bike Honda have ever made

Fabulous!... I really like a good thunderstorm, but they nearly always miss this area around us... Dry, sunny and about 22c here, sat in the garden having a cuppa......waiting for the biscuit bandits to arrive....

It's absolutely pissing down here Clive, thunder and lightning, the whole 9 yards.

I don’t think so, no. The thought of having to lube a chain again is annoying even before I have to do it. But that bike isn’t meant to be for me. I haven’t ridden one yet, but at 230kg wet I’ll be surprised if it feels more agile than my bike.

That 1200XE is a bloody big bike. I know you are used to that sort of thing but are you ready to ditch the shaft?

The problem is that she knows it!

My Mrs had something similar a few years again. A woman visited our neighbour and reversed into the Mrs CRV and fecked the back bumper, the womans insurance paid but my Mrs premium still went up as she had a recorded claim even though it wasn't her fault given that she was sitting in the living at the time.

I think I want a big displacement traillie with more offroad ability. Something that can go on long trips easily and relaxed in doing road miles but is better suited for a little more offroad than a GS. It has to be nice enough of a road bike for a quick 300km on the motorway without feeling stressed and exhausting, and have creature comforts. The R12G/S seems almost perfect on paper except it’s got a baby fuel tank. I had a sit on one and I honestly I didn’t really feel interested on taking it out for a testride. The new R1300 Adventures are growing on me, they seem strong mechanically so maybe I’ll test one in a year or so and see how they are. I’d like a R1200GS rallye to maybe treat in a different way than I do my bike. The RT is a fantasy bike for me, but maybe in a few years. I like the Harley Low Rider ST a lot, but can’t see me enjoying riding that on any of the roads I enjoy except on the motorway, plus can’t see me turning it around in the garages I park either And also I would feel like a show off on a Harley. I am probably going to be flying to London in October and riding a Scrambler 1200XE home along with Sofia on another one. That will certainly tell me if I want a traillie like that or not.

I honestly do not know if his or if my insurance covered the damage repairs, more than likely it was mine, because my renewal quote went up £100+.

I love the way you're thinking. Only problem is I'm too old to shag away half of everything I own and my Mrs knows that, plus I have gotten used to her now.

He knew he was going back then, basted. The bad thing is you'll be paying as you had a claim.

That’s what you say you want, but what you really want is a project. I think you need two more bikes, really: the second one to “just get on and ride” and the third one to “paint brake callipers and rebuild stuff with needles and new seals”. Tell your wife this is what keeps a man out of extra marital habits.
