This is how you doit on LooseNuts™.

We haven't got the levels of the cities here. Customers are taking measures when dropping/collecting cars, standing aside when passing. Leaving space when queuing. On the other hand Gt Yarmouth and Lowestoft have big numbers of foreign workers that live and work together. Much higher infection rates.

She hasnt blown up yet! We are having really nice weather, the weekend looks good so far!

First stop was to oil the beach up a bit...lol

Got miles of smiles ahead of me, look who's back!

This explains why you limited me to an hour when I visited your boatyard, and then when I came back a couple of years later you weren't even there ?

Booked a day off work today so got up late put the front wheel back on the XR after fixing the puncture and re-greasing the wheel bearings. Then managed to get an appointment at the dentist to fill a hole after the filling fell out a couple of weeks into covid. Just lit the fire in the house thinking of putting my feet up with a few beers for the rest of the day

I’ve been in Ericeira, tomorrow will ride home, which only an hour and a bit. May encounter rain and chilly weather but I bought a woolen sweater today! ? Work is still shit and the country is going into partial lockdown, so I’ll go home for a couple of nights of red wine with the fire burning.

Could have done with it a bit warmer......and a few less fluffy clouds really. But Winter is on the way so I suppose it could be worse. I'm hoping to be out Saturday and Sunday......but I'm still limited to staying within the perimeter of this area. That restriction expires on Monday, but apparently there's a meeting this weekend in order to determine the next stage. So I'm working under the assumption that they'll put the kybosh on movements and make the most of this weekend! What you lot got planned?

Bloody storm here now......could put the kybosh on tomorrow!

I have to stop doing darkies outside the local pub, says nobody ever! lol

When I told him I was driving past Auxerre in 2005......he went into hiding! That sort of behaviour tells you what sort of person he is! Tell 'em @Buckster

Word!

Same as what I was thinking. A short ride with a mate to meet for a coffee is fine, but on several day rides two bikes put too much of a strain on things. You're never ready to go in the morning at the same time, almost never really want to ride at the same pace, get tired at different rates, etc, the freedom of going out by yourself in the morning is invaluable to me on trip. Having said that, there are people that just click together perfectly, be it couples or friends who are very much in tune and even when they're not in tune it's still cool, but that's rare to find. Going for a ride with absolute strangers is a nightmare to me, having said that, I might be planning to lead a mototour through northern Portugal next year and see how that business goes

I've had a few people on FaceButt saying they wanted to meet up for a ride. But they never show.....thank fuck. There's no place for babysitting duties in the world of Dark Motorcycling! Tell 'em @Tym

With a few exceptions I prefer to ride alone. I have always preferred boating solo and am perfectly content in my own company. I like to think that this is because I have nothing to prouve, am capable of looking after myself and making my own decisions and don't need other people. ( but it's probably selfishness, that and the fact that nobody else will put up with me for more than an hour...?) If Other people want to only ride in groupes then fine, "chaqu'un sa merde" as they say over here. I have ceased trying to understand other people.

LOL i know what you mean bob. i called into the westend cafe on the way back from a ride once for quick snack before heading home and was listening to a group of lads bragging about how far they had been it was about 60miles they asked me where I'd been and after i told them i had just done 190 miles of back roads and trails and still had another 50 to get home they all looked quite embarrassed especially because i was on my XR400 LOL
