You could be 6' if you didn't mind the right leg being shorter ?

Guy up the street from me left his garage door open last night and had a visitor open up his garage refrigerator for a snack. His bikes were okay though

.......but we've made it onto Page 1 of Google! There's only 6 sites above us now cos some have two listings........obviously the likes of AdvRider and ThumperTalk are in that bunch. But they've been around for 20 years.....not 10 weeks. So we're doing OK! Just need to get more new members in so put the word about wherever you can. Obviously the more movement we can get on here the less likelihood of us running into pics of @Pedro's disgusting food!

5' 8'' . With one 31'' inside leg, the other one's a bit shorter ?

I would like to thank everyone that made this possible, it was a team effort and it's your award as much as mine. God bless America!

I know, butt, dark humour is the best way to cope with this cruel world that we live on.

My cat used to do that, now she;s dead.

Pedro's got it for June! @Pedro.........give me a full size image of your bike to go in the header! But it has to be taken from a distance so I can crop the height to fit it into the space available!

It's a nice castle, but I think it is closed to the public and just used for weddings now. Kentwell Hall in Long Melford on the other hand is a large Elizabethan manor house, got a proper moat, hedges you can walk inside, underground ice house, a farm, huge grounds and a very old camera obscura that you can just go in and have a go yourself (if you know what one of those is). And on certain weekends you can watch people dressed up as twats and acting historical parts for your amusement. The first time I went into the kitchen, a large breasted woman shouted 'passage' at me and pushed past me with a bowl of boiling water. This she then poured down the Elizabethan indoor toilet which apparently was a thing to have in the kitchen as you could chuck the cooking waste down it as well, it all plops into the moat outside the window. The next time I went, there was a bloke using a long bow at some targets. An old couple hove into view standing next to the target and started taking pictures of him just as he was about to let loose. My dad lived in a castle for a few months when he was an apprentice electrician, Allington Castle in Kent. They were doing a rewire for the nuns (Our Lady of Mount Carmel) who had just moved in. He took us there when we were kids and they let me climb into the secret passage/priest hole after pulling a panel out of a seat. It's a private residence now belonging to the bloke who started the MORI opinion poll, so you can't visit it anymore.

You're telling an American to ignore a castle?

Pop up the road to Lavenham whilst you are in the area https://goo.gl/maps/Dzb9WeNAmgM4t1MQ7 then take a slow wander round the streets. Same for Castle Hedingham, ignore the castle, wander the streets of the village on foot, then pop next door to the steam railway which you will probably hear tooting every 10 minutes. Oh and Kersey https://goo.gl/maps/qiQhN1E18g2SAUMK7 . People think Essex is full of yobs and electric pylons, but that is the south. North Essex is rammed with medieval timber framed cottages, not just the villages, but every tiny lane you go down you will find tucked away gems. They can cost a million quid plus to buy some of the bigguns, I reckon there's a hundred thousand millionaires tucked away in the countryside there because no one else can afford the house prices.

You need to do better, fancy highlighting him with a stake and a piece of rope

Refresh the page and you'll see it now! Fame at last Pedro!

just leave the honey jar in plain sight and make it easy on the poor guys

@XTreme

Frequently. When we get home at night from dinner or whatever, the wife doesn't waste a lot of time between the car and the front door. I won't call her a chickenshit to her face though.

Can't leave McDonald's wrapppers in your car or anything with a smell or these guys will rip the doors off to get in. Bastids!

That tickled me. But not the fact the cats gone.

The battle for last place was epic!

Yes, very similar in texture to codfish livers, which I think you guys in the UK know about It's cooked with sliced garlic and white wine.

@Sir Fallsalot I think that may have been the day after I went for a ride. Didn't dare leave the shelter of my house!

That looks suspiciously like one of my photos at the moon Rally. Hi Phil!

Oh I know....it's all good. I'm Canadian, so I'm sarcastic 95% of the time. ? They look like fun, but the height for me is a bit much, there's my excuse.... lol

He does great vids.......and he can really ride as well. The sprocket thing amazed me.......looks like Yamaha really did a lot of R&D on this thing! That is a very conclusive thumbs up!

It was said in jest, I'm enjoying mine more and more everytime I ride it.

My dinner was composed mainly of cuttlefish eggs, just to let you guys know.

There's an old Knights' Templar property about 2 or 3 minutes from me. They do a very good event and it's free to get in when no events are on if you just fancy a picnic or a wander round the herb garden. The timber framed barns are feckin huge inside, and they still have the original builder's bills, one is 800 years old this year. Have a look at the pictures at the bottom of the linked site, shame there are no people in the pictures for scale, makes the buildings look smaller than they are. https://www.explore-essex.com/places-to-go/find-whats-near-me/cressing-temple-barns

Nowadays, being good and gentle to others. Used to be going off on killing sprees accross the middle east

Oh ps this thread is probably for "unmarried types" because it seems if you are married you dont have to care what you look like anymore...
