Left shoulder is proper fucked. Apart from that I’ve got the body of a 20 year old. I keep her in the attic and she doesn’t seem to mind. ?

Nothing wrong with me that a good diet wouldn't fix but that ain't going to happen so i'm fucked as well

Just a quick summary. Left shoulder - fucked Right shoulder - fucked Lower back - fucked Neck/nape - fucked Knees - fucked Right ankle - fucked Left calf - fucked Right calf - fucked Eyes - fucked Teeth - fucked Left kidney - fucked Stomach - fucked Blood pressure - fucked Hearing - fucked It might have been easier to list the bits that aren't fucked.

I'm sure I remeber him posting a photo of his family and they were all nude except him ?

After @MooN's mishap putting a bike on a centre stand ....... .....it got me thinking that this place is getting like some sort of military field hospital with the state on everybody. In my case I've had bad knees for over 30 years......stretched MCL's due to stupid sports in my youth. But it's not a case of they've particularly got worse.....more a case of the rest of me has got worse around them due to advancing years. So where I could compensate for them to some degree in the past, it's getting harder all the time to do that now I'm 66. Which is why I've got to get a lighter bike very soon. However, I am lucky inasmuch as I don't suffer from arthritis......I always figured I'd be riddled with it in old age because of the way I bombarded my body with impacts in my youth. But nothing! But I am partly deaf in one ear due to wind noise on bikes over the years.......and I need to wear glasses all the time now. So.....that's my liabilities at the present time......just got to work round them as best I can! So what's your current situation in terms of physical problems? And we don't need to know your mental problems.....or we'll be here all fucking day!

.......of the 2015-on BMW G650GS. Cos I gotta say I do like the look of this........and it's 35kg lighter than the Strom!

Cardiff, or at least my part of it, experienced a power cut at about five o clock this morning. I knew it was five because the phone was bleating that it couldn't communicate with its base station. I'd been thinking about a bike ride so it was a good kick in the arse to get me motivated. Had me some toast and a brew and by 0620 I was on my way. Didn't bother with warm gear because I was sweating like a good un just getting ready. Piss break somewhere between Newtown and Bala. Misty over the hills. Some spectacular views with nowhere to stop! On to Bala Then on to Trawsfynydd stopping briefly on the dam that displaced a whole community to provide water for Liverpool. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capel_Celyn The graffiti translates to, "We will never yield." On to Trawsfynydd where the decomissioned nuclear power station is a stark reminder that radioactivity takes lifetimes to break down. The dam on the mountainside above the power station is the upper reservoir of Stwlan hydro electric scheme. I can remember it being built. ? He caught a fish, no idea what though. The metropolis of Trawsfynydd Barmouth being enveloped by sea mist. Clywedog with some mist still hanging about. Temperatures varied between 8degC to 23degC. From fresh to Betty Swollocks Here's the route. I only had Bala and the Trawsfynydd road in mind so the rest sort of fitted in. Didn't bother with food, but had water with me. Nice to get out but fucked by the time I got home.

To be. honest I'd forgotten about it until now. Memory - fucked. ?

Same here! I'll just have to try harder. Whenever I do a trip over a few days the first couple are the worst. Eases up afterwards.

Not when it's moving. I dropped it today trying to park on what I thought was level enough ground. When I went to move it to a better spot the back end span round and deposited me on the ground. Bike was sat at about 45 degrees so easy enough to right it. Fortunately no damage to me or the bike. But don't tell anybody! ?

I had a GS650 Dakar some years ago, took it to the Spanish Pyrenees and it averaged 71mpg, that included doing trails. It was the one with the twin-plug head, better performance and mpg. The downside to it was the front end, very soft suspension. A lot guys coverted then to Yamaha forks or KTM.

They probably can’t cope too well with emission regulations of today, I think. To be honest, I would go for a twin everyday unless it was a dirt specific bike.

If you want great roads on wine country and a nice bottle at the end of the day the Douro in unbeatable, in my opinion.

I would trust that as much as a xt660r, which would also be a cool bike for you as you know, having had at least one.

Im waiting for the all white versions.

I got some really bad bug bites the other week, they were they worst I've ever had. Thought perhaps I might start to mutate after a week....and oh....ummmm Sorry, that's all I have for now. ?

What have you come to terms with.......being a part of a group of complete fucking twats? You'd probably still have a full head of hair if you hadn't PM'd me on ButtRider in 2004 to ask my opinion on Transalps.

What issues have you got Alan.......besides being from Carediff?

No. I'm fucked as well.

Really..... I wouldn't wear those on a mountain biking let alone on a motorcycle....but that's just me.

Well I have to see a consultant soon (been postponed for 6 months due to Covid) about another op on my leg to try and cure the phantom limb pain . If I have the op it will be my 11th but unless he truly convinces me that they can get it right I may not bother. It will mean another 6 months on crutches and I feel like I'm losing riding time day by day as it is ?

Remember that Beemer weirdo from ButtRider who had that young bird as a sex slave?

I’ve got a shit left knee that has some sort of fluid leaking, occasionally it causes some acute pain. Right one gives me a signal sometimes but after the diagnosis on the left it’s better to not look at the right one too closely or I might get worried.
