Paolo had gone to church and then a pic-nic with his Nonna we had a chance to get out today . We went to Alfred's Tower and an ice cream parlour (no Strawberry) on a farm near Nunney .

Went out for a ride this morning, went to Damerells then Padstow and then followed the A39 (Atlantic Highway FFS) to Camelford then onto Bodmin Moor at Davidstow. Just a stunning place to be. Got lost for 30 minutes or so but knew it was all good when I found St Breward. Onto Blisland then down the A30 to Bodmin.

I finished my night shift at Lanson Hospital at 08:00 and should have gone home to bed but I got the Bat Signal from from the FOGGs (Fowey Old Grump Git Group) saying a ride out was going to occur at 09:00 4Turnings Garage. Of course there was no choice, I had the call! so I sneaked out of work 15 mins early pinned the throttle for the 35 mile ride back to Fowey. Got home, changed out of my uniform, took my meds and made 4Turnings with 10 minutes to spare. Didn't have time to swap bikes but I filled the CBF600 the day before and it was well up to the task of the old British Bike nails in the group. The Mission for the day was to find Martyn's ancestral home in Mousehole and recreate a photo of his Grandmother. At the meeting point we decided the first order of priority for the day was breakfast So we headed west, through Par, St Austell, Grampound, Tresillian, Scorrier, Portreath across the hayle Towans to Hells Mouth and the excellent Cafe that resides there. The Lads (Ha! that term was only accurate a long time ago in the 1970's) had the obligatory fry up but I, in my quest to be less of a fat cunt and survive past my upcoming 60th birthday, only had a coffee and tears of envy. Suitable vittled we again headed West through Hayle town past the Hayle estuary onto St Erth, Crowlas, Long Rock on to Penzance, Newlyn and finally Mousehole. Of course while we were there Ice Cream was on the cards. The Blackberry and Clotted Cream was particularly nice. Also saw a rat running around thought is was suppose to be the Mousehole Cat that was famous, shame he wasn't on duty today, he would have had some sport. Apparently the oldest house in Mousehole and the only one to Survive the sacking and burning of the village by the Spanish in the 15th century, or so the stone on the wall said. I think the Citroen is more recent. We met the nicest parking guy ever when we stopped who let us all park for free and also let us leave our helmets and jackets in his shed. Good guy, I reckon he liked the Cornish flag stickers on my bike, even though I do believe he was a Cockaneese in origin. We were probably lucky to get our helmets and Jackets back. Martyn majestically recreating the photo of his Grandmother in the exactly same spot a 100 years later. Interesting to note the name of the cottage now given that his family migrated East to Fowey (Foye). Looking out from Mousehole to Prussia Cove on a sunny day could almost be the Med. St Michael's Mount out there in the Blue. After enjoying a mouch around Mousehole on foot we headed off again. We thought about going to Lamorna Cove but decided not to as they have a particularly aggressive ANPR system there that likes to issue parking tickets like confetti if you don't pay quickly enough. Also on top of that there is essentially fuck all there apart from a cafe that is an Emmett honey trap and a disused granite quarry. People only go there because of the song. So we decided to go on to find the Merry Maidens Stone Circle in hope of benefitting from it's pagan fertility endowments. Couldn't fucking find it which was probably just as well given our age and collective health issues. So Penberth Cove was our decided destination given that it was much prettier than Lamorna Cove and free to park. Well I say park I meant abandon our bikes at the side of the road, but it was okay as the locals were all in a field at the WI Fete just up the road. Rather an attractive place. All run by the National Trust now so just an expensive dormitory with don't do this and don't do that signs everywhere. Still free to visit at the moment until the NT work out a way to commercialise the view. Steve having a Reginald Perrin moment, he said he was seal spotting but we know what he was up to, demented old fool. How the used to get the boats up and out of the water. How they do it now with a magic shed. Well not really, just an electrically powered hydraulic winch. Or so the geeks told me whilst on a Man Nip trip high on looking at mechanical things. Martyn testing the bridges capacity. You'll notice not much timber around here. When it all gets a bit to much best to sit and collect your thoughts. Martyn and Bob in crises or possibly just a bit sweaty. Dazed and confused group selfie just to prove I was actually there.

Not much to see really just out for a gentle bimble as my grey mates were all weary of the weather so I went out for a mooch on my own. Did 40 miles down to Gorran to take some practice shots for BOM.

I headed down to Newport now to go and have a gander at Wildcat Scooters. It was a fail as it wasn't open ........... As it was so hot now it was time for some refreshment , so I stopped at a pub in Caldicot ........... I then had a brief look at Caldicot castle................. I needed to fill up twice during the ride so it's probably a little bit thirsty (aren't all 2-strokes) and don't even ask about the faff with the pre-mix oil but all things considered this is a great little summer ride pop pop

Only two bikes parked here today, a Suzuki and a Harley Davidson

Sunny when I left home.

I think you'll find we invented the language you pretend Viking ...........

We're all coming out of the closet now.

Just got some personal items brought over from the UK, old photos etc, that had been stored in my dad’s flat for years. Ended up in a mate’s lock up for a while but now all back here. Had a quick browse through this morning and found some great old photos. Here’s me on my way back from the Italian lakes circa mid 1990’s on the Cagiva Elefant 750. Absolutely soaked through due to crappy waterproofs. Old Skool cool!

Well that’s timely, this just came up on Facebook……….fucking old goat.

Prepare to be 'Scootered' again

What about one of these

Before I have another look at my pictures, here it is.

Feck me, with @busabeast and @Marcel back it's like a dongfest in here . Wake me up when the bullshit is finished ............

May 25th 1975 at Brands Hatch, Barry Sheene vs Kenny Roberts I was there, rode there on the pillion seat of Billy Rickets Honda 400 4 and filmed it on an old Super 8 Cine Camera

He will soon know everything and be telling you he is a viking.

Don't start that shit again.

Felt the need , cool day now 26c , exc hasn't mixed it oil for a while so I took her down some lanes

He looks older than me.

65 years old today and mad as a box of frogs .....taking a road bike int wilderness

Out for my nephews birthday

I recently refitted my cogent rear shock after checking it over and had also fitted new cogent valves in the front forks so I decided to head for the whoops near Yarnbury castle did give it a check ride. Heading down the byway to Yarnbury I heard that familiar sound of a helicopter buzzing overhead , I stopped to take some photos as it had stopped in a nearby field to practise hovering . He then headed to towards me and we had a mutual thumbs up as he passed by ........... Suspension test was passed and I moved on to the byways around Stonehenge ........... Round barrows behind me on Normanton Down , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round_barrow I stopped in Tidworth for a bite to eat and then started to head back north to get home........ This is an unusual byway as you are riding through the landing lights for Boscombe Down airfield ................. Near Knapp Down there was a wild fire in the distance ............. I have ridden on Salisbury Plain for over 35 years but yesterday was the driest I have ever seen it, all the usual huge puddles were completely dry and huge dust plumes being kicked up by my bike .

Just got the news that a great friend of mine will be moving to Elgin in the next coupla weeks.... When I talked w/ him earlier, you could hear the enthusiasm in his voice. Known the guy for 46 yrs. & have always enjoyed Skiing, 2-Wheelin' & camping/fishing together. I hold him in high regard as he's the one who showed me this side of the state....Pretty stoked for him.

Even the spammers have stopped visiting the site since the dildo went up on the home page.

Don’t mind if I do ….,

I have no idea who this guy is but just tell him to FUCK OFF

Nephew passed his mod 1 and 2 Monday … he went and picked this up yesterday CB 1000r …

Where does it say there you can keep up?

Especially if the Dildo is in the back of a van

That's the forecast, so set off at 7.30 gor a bimble down the local lanes

He should call her “parts bin”.

every one says that

I hear him saying 'look at that wanker' every time I'm out on one of my Vespa's

Yesterday evening, me and Sofia visited the Ericeira Custom Festival, it’s on the edge of town so we walked there. It’s the second time it happens, so a pretty young event, but this year it’s already atracting lots of people and the rumble of bikes coming in and out of town is a welcomed novelty for me. Had a nice Burguer, and then the sunset made the light become really pretty pretty a bit. A Dutch tuner was there, with an ST running the 132 engine, tested at 167hp Some painters, airbrush artists, and small bike customizers too. Joaquim Rodrigues’ Dakar helmet The paintwork on this was insane: It was an evening well spent.

We stopped at Westerham on way for a coffee , bird in pic came through village think it is an r1 , saw her at Rykas .. with her flip up plate

Mate you are confusing me with somebody who cares. It's not the bark in the dog that matters it's the heart. Somebody who can ride will make up for having less BHP than someone who can't. So arguing about numbers is the equivalent of sending each other dick pics. Within reason of course, but the difference between a 90 BHP and 120 BHP on similar weight bikes is the rider. Now you may think you are a riding god or you could actually be, but arguing about numbers is just bullshite and leads me to believe you may well be the former. Ultimately nobody cares

i is that @Sir Fallsalot marmite van in the background ? t

Local car/bike meet..

Haircut … new style time .. what you guys think ?

Would love to add loads of pics . . . . . . . . . . . . But ran over me phone and destroyed it ....lost everything...so here's a pic of my feet
