.......we sailed out of Poole Harbour late at night en route for Cherbourg.......leaving Britain forever! Destination Spain! At the same time in Cardiff @Renegade and his head-tapping twats were throwing a party to celebrate that I was leaving! We drove through France the following day and stayed the night in Perpignan......that was a lovely place. The following morning we crossed the border into Spain and never left. Despite the fact that some said we wouldn't last a year! A lot has changed since then......the 3 dogs that came with us have now gone! The youngest boy left for NL in 2013, and the eldest boy left for Poland in 2016. It wasn't long before I got a pic on the seafront in the Costa Calida........to wind up all my mates back in Britain who were still stuck there in the pissing rain! And 15 years later I'm still doing it! I guess some things never change!

Happy Halloween Everyone! ?? Here are my bunch of pumpkins for 2020!

Below freezing this morning, kinda nice after lunch, went for a spin, i think Sean is 11 now this place hasnt been open since CornHolio showed up..

I don’t get it, as soon as the wet rain stops you ride straight into a wet puddle? Cool stuff, though, I used to ride through a few of those on the XR back when in was up north, anc it’s great fun.

I thought you might.........most ladies do. Except the Welsh ones......it doesn't work on them so they just want to smack me in the face!

So you went to Santa Fe for the faggots then Eric?

Arrived in Santa Fe tonight just in time for dinner. For a starter, we had meatballs slathered in green chile. Tasted better than it sounds....

Wanted to make sure she had a full tank of fuel, Dont want to have to worry about that for the next week or so....

VIEWER WARNING High Rain Content & Visible Muddy Puddles On the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia it is very likely to rain ? for days at a time in the autumn. So you tend to get used to playing in the rain. I have come to love riding through the rainforest in the rain, with the low clouds and the mist hanging in the forest, it's magical. ?? On this ride we just putter about in the forest and stop by Phare Lake to enjoy the view. ?

You'd make a good Border Patrol, thats a pic from 2004, and that ones expired, here is my current one.

Reminds me, i havnt bought jeans since Levis moved production off shore.

That's Spain out for me then, I'll have to stay in wet and miserable UK ?

Darker and wetter here in the UK ?

If business keeps going the way it is, I might just be able to go on a big ride sooner than expected

@MooN’s Triumph has won the October’s Bike Of The Month vote. I look forward to many more ride reports!

Still 37 minutes to go Pete, this is what it must feel like to run an election.

Well, let me get the party started ? ? No lockdown here, but for now I never really leave the small coastal area I live, so no difference to me. Today will start with knives ? .... I plan on cutting open and gutting a few unsuspecting pumpkins. ? Then I get to see if I can fit a new oven (the old one BLEW UP) through the doorway of my cottage like house, should be fun. But wait there's more..... Going to upload my latest video, which will be hard for some of you to watch. There is a lot of RAIN ?️ Saturday and Sunday look great for weather, so we are going for a ride into my "backyard" to explore, now that the logging trucks have stopped for the season. ? I know, I know, when will the fun stop.... ?

I've been doing 'sober for october' this month , it's for a good cause , so on Sunday I'll be having a glass of wine with dinner to ease my way back in. https://www.gosober.org.uk/users/bob-chapman I already have some supplies for the following weekend

Spending the weekend assisting Ericeira’s favourite vet, today helping a lost puppy

So @Pedro do next months qualifying photos start from today or tomorrow

Here is a picture of Bobo and his best friend.

No no no LOL i was just thinking Pete's been out a few times and yourself since last months ended so wondered if the next month started from when the vote ended or the beginning of the month and that ride report was from last month i just added to it today

Look at you go, you know you have some winners. Damn straight you do! Need to be on our best this month folks, the game is starting early! ?

Their great i always thought i didn't need one until i got one and then realised i should have had one from the day they were invented you can ride with the visor fully closed in all weather and no misting

I did try to find dry puddles but they were all wet even the trails were like streams

Great vid Michelle.....those camera angles are incredible! And I'd say that lake qualifies as Dark Motorcycling!

Nice to see the KLR, it's been awhile ?

How dare you that's one of the best things about the UK proper bacon here mate

Today's breakfast; egg burrito with green chile and taters with a side of bacon (real bacon. not that greasy slab of crap UK bacon)....

Medic!

Peeing down with rain here all week and locked down so not allowed out. when the rain stopped for a few hours this afternoon i went out for the sake of my sanity, usual route past Miriam's bench again but in the opposite direction, water was a bit deeper this time

Had to get outta Colorado for a bit, was going stir crazy as I can't get out on my bike. Only 6 more months of no riding to go......

After 31st December NONE of you are going anywhere @Sir Fallsalot .......unless you're super rich and can buy your way in. Except @Tym of course........tell 'em Tym

I was going to say yes but then i thought about Bob and thought not all, then i thought about the amount of time he spends in Wales on his bike he's practically welsh so then i thought yes again

Any fucker can move to Spain that's the easy way out I'll tough it out here

Do you get many mozzies where you live Pete ? The main thing that bugs me when I go to my mother-in-laws near Naples are the bloody mozzies ?

I could have quite happily stayed in Perpignan but we were already committed to Spain. Originally I wanted to go to France......but I was outvoted 3-1 as the others wanted to go to Spain. Then the boys eventually left......after they'd skewered the vote against France. Their toilets in the motorway services are pretty weird though......where you stand up to take a shit in a hole in the floor. It was all I could do not to shit over my trainers!

What Tym said!

The one i had a test ride on i found the low end torque was very poor compared to my old dog, but it was the opposite story with the top end power still a nice ride though

You all now enter a winter of Darkness. Dark motorcycling, just got, darker.

Tymmy can still ride his Tomos, the curse of Koper, you have only one hope,Pedro has to ride to Slovenia...

That’s quite a story, mainly from someone who hadn’t traveled before. This is meant as a compliment. Those 660s look great, I never rode one but they just look like they handle nicely.

@MooN

Well if it's any consolation this result may get us better positioning for the terms "French Cunt" and "Cunts who can't put a bike on a stand". @MooN......give me a full size pic taken at a distance!

Main course was a ground (minced) beef burrito drowned in more green chile with side of rice, Was perfect! I'll start adding more dinners to this thread so you can be sick the sight of it??

Downed 5 Negra Modelo's with dinner. Sounds like a lot but it's pretty pissy tasting Mexican beer...

Bottom line is if your average speed is greater then mine< You;re a fucking lunatic bent on death by dismemberment. If you;re> average speed is below mine: You suck!
