I'm sure my family are trying to kill me off, for fathers day i get sweets and chocolate something they know i have a real weakness and craving for, they also know i'm a fucking diabetic the s. Anyway the last laughs on them i have no life insurance

I always carry something like this for that bit of unscheduled trail maintenance https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bahco-Laplander-Folding-Saw-396LAP/dp/B0001IX7OW/ref=asc_df_B0001IX7OW/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=222086461140&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=12350510019827449991&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1007453&hvtargid=pla-385867917582&psc=1&th=1&psc=1 But i had to resort to something larger a few months ago when i came across this, i struggled to get the fat 650 through there but after a return visit you can now get a bus through there ?

It has been a few weeks now since I was able to truly adventure with my Himalayan Bagheera and I sure do miss it. I find myself watching some previous videos just to relive the moments, one reason I enjoy making the ride videos. Here is one from a great adventurous ride. The needed part is days away so new rides will come soon. ?

well since there are no fuel stops between the Yukon and the Ardtic Circle you kinda have to do that anyways. I known folks who ran short, not fun but the local mosquitos enjoy some fresh meat.

Me, having breakfast and about to go out for some touring

.......my 22 month old grandson Jake has his first go on a little bike! Apparently he loves motorcycles......always stops to watch them on the road and likes looking at vids. Same thing goes with trains......very interested in them. So he's interested in bikes and trains, makes a lot of noise, very outgoing, and full of confidence. Total opposite to my son actually! Reminds me of somebody though? I think the clincher today was when we were watching him riding......and he rode up to the camera, put his hands in the air and shouted "Oh no". I asked my boy what's the matter.......and he said "It's picking to rain and he doesn't like rain"

My bike’s plenty large, almost couldn’t turn it around inside a fucking castle today!

Story of my life Pete i'm always in some form of shit its just the depth that varies

The USA has some pretty odd food that you'll encounter when on trips through the country and I loike to at least try them. Some are really good, others not so much. Show me what you've found and where you found it.Here are a couple from me. First is from Gold Star Chili in Kentucky. This type of chili comes from Cincinnati, Ohio where a Greek immigrant started serving it this way. Aside from a small amount of cheese, there is chili, onions, beans and spaghetti noodles in there. Then, as a side, are two cheese coneys; hot dogs in a bun slathered with chili and a bit of cheese. Sounds gross, I know, but it is delicious after you scrape about 1/2 of the cheese off. Second, a breakfast burrito from Tia Sophia's in Santa Fe, New Mexico. A folded tortilla wth sausge and eggs, peppers inside. Covered with both red and green chile (Christmas style) and a bit of melted cheese on top. Fuckin' heaven, I tell ya. I hit Tia's on every trip through Santa Fe. Finally, my usual lunch. A cold diet soft drink and some cracker type things called "Combos". They're little brick-like round crackers with some odd sort of flavor thing in the middle. Some shade and a map and I'm set. Usually eat this while sitting on a curb at a fuel station someplace.

Well, I don't think I eat weird food, but you lot might, so I'll dig some stuff up, mainly from Morocco maybe.

That's coz your musical tastes are still stuck in 1976 and haven't moved an inch ?

What a cutie! ? Love to see kids stoked. My gateway was a big yellow duck on wheels, hooked me for life.

Im ok i was born in Charleston South Carolina, the "Cradle of the South" and i have the Birth cirts, un;ike the O'man, to prove it

Sounds like a good way to get your ass kicked in the South.?

No pics butt once me and two girls from Noi Jersey rode down south, we stopped at a dinner, the 16 year old version of the two girls asked what grits are... i said in a whisper "Grits is pig food" So this 16 year old repeats what i say in the loudest 16 year old Noi Joisey girl axcent possible, "Grits is Pig Food!?!" I drew both firearms and opend fire hoping we could escape in a hale of gunfire!

good BBQ is the food of the gods, especially if it's been on the smoker for several hours. We have a pellet smoker and will cook stuff low and slow and its magic.

That looks superb! I think I could get used to Yank food! Wouldn't entertain the shit that @Pedro eats though!

I don't eat a lot of meat, but do have a love for bbq ribs when they're available. My riding buddy Dave and I had some smallish racks of ribs in Tennessee last year...

How about this one? I don't even remember what it was supposed to be, but I do remember that I got it at the Golden Burro restaurant in Leadville, Colorado. I think it was chips with green chile on top, some beans and cheese of some kind. Feckin' Americans will dump cheese on top of anything.

Happy Fathers day fathers.....

Who remembers him from Maximum bikes ? Bloody brilliant ride reports. I just seem him in a thread on ADV rider...........

Does he wash his little bike as well?

Ace Pete

What is it that compels you to ride through toxic waste dumps Fred? ?

And it's weird shit as well Fred!

lol.....yes I am fully prepared now. That was our first day on the trails and we were just so excited to ride we forgot about such tools. It made for a good memory...? Awesome clearing job by the way.....

I did have a sneaky ride last weekend to relieve the stress but all that done was make me want to ride more

That is a bummer....I know I shouldn't whine considering how many people who have not been able to ride for months. I can still borrow a bike once a week at least. Hopefully you can ride again soon.

The funny part is the bottles dont have a return deposit like all StateSide Coke bottles sold in CT has, and its ten time better...

No probs @yen_powell.......if I encounter problems with Victorian urinals you can return the favour!

Same here - dunno why they put some greasy assed cheese all over stuff. I like it sometimes, but usually scrape about 1/2 of it off. The side dishes with the ribs are always left alone and untouched. It's enough of a job just to kill the ribs & beers for me. Don't like the coleslaw and cinnamon apples either.

Getting the hang of it now.

That's my kind of food once you remove the bowls of crap LOL I'm starting to find the UK is getting a trend for dumping cheese on stuff. I like cheese but not on my bacon sandwich

it hits all the taste points, unhealthy as you might imagine, and yeah looks about as appetizing as shrimp and grits.

You'd be a fat fuck like me in no time at all. Pedro is gonna smoke us all with some weird food pics as soon as he sees this thread.

America is coming around to poutine, which always sounded really awful to me until I tried it. Now when we make the beer and Britsh stuff run to Canada it's our first stop.

On my solo trips, I usually arrive at the hotel late, shower and just get a pizza delivered. We don't have any delivery of food where I live so it's a real treat to get food delivered. Shacked up at a Marriott somewhere in Oklahoma...

That's how it all starts....

Went to Norwich in the car to collect a customers cylinder head, then to the Apple store to get new batteries fitted to mine and Mandis phones. Got home at 4pm, took for ever. Get call into the bike nothing store to get a summer jacket. Where'd the bloody sun go. Should get out for a bit on the bikes. Got to visit grandad as he only has a few months left if the Drs are right. Then round to my sons for a take out.

Father's day today so I am doing feck all except lounging around and hopefully having a nice dinner

The arctic circle and back on one tank of gas! lol

Walk this way for Rugged Individualism........

that is also true

If it's any help Ian, I just copy and paste the you tube link straight into this box ? Like this ................

I've just kitted up the little bike as I'm off for some trail riding tomorrow. I am heading towards Salisbury Plain but I'll be staying mainly to the north as the hippies will be out in force around Stonehenge for the summer solstice even though Boris has told them to stay at home ?

I will do a few castle rides when I get some time.

I'm from Dagenham, I use all 12 fingers.

We have so much abandioned stuff around here it's not funny. If I get out this weekend, I;ll shoot some more pics.
