The sun came out today so I decided to work on Bagheera, clean him up and tighten up his cylinder head cover to see if I could stop the small oil leak. ? Then I baked a pumpkin loaf for an afternoon snack! Yummmy ?

Butt, its a dry snow...lol

$1.22 a litre here at the moment. We get absolutely raped on gas prices here due to taxes. It's criminal, we have the 3rd largest oil reserves in the world and yet pay outrageous prices for gas. Any other western country and people would be protesting with pitch forks and torches... but canucks are sheep we just mumble and take it.

I totally agree, nice light dry snow......very nice compared to the soggy snow we get around here most of the time. ?

No......we see it every year Fred! We're 3000 ft up in the mountains!

All this shit sounds like Damp Motorcycling to me!

My favourite river cross is over a bridge

And I'd throw in the CB500X as well.

It ain't great Clive.......may have an opportunity next Sunday though. But it looks like we're still going to be banged up within the town perimeters till well into the New Year.

What a bunch of panty wastes! December is the best time of year to ride, no bug splatter! Get a grip.

It's bloody shit! I can't do my Omega Man gig in conditions like that! Where's my 25C, blue skies, and collapsing buildings?

I bet that's something you thought you'd never see when you moved to Spain @XTreme

These lithium iron hate being cold.

We like a challange, anyone can take the easy route.

Speaking from a cozy sofa after a bottle of wine an oven cooked seabass, why do you brits always make things harder than they are?

We had one like that today. i said at the start of the ride to everyone don't be scared of the water its easier to ride through than go around in some places. so later on i was riding behind this guy approaching a puddle he decides to ride up the bank and go around it, but stalled the bike on top of the bank it stopped dead and he fell into the puddle which was about a foot deep he was doing the dying fly on his back trying to get up and then rolled over onto his front he was drenched and retired from the ride early

And if you go under @Sir Fallsalot will be on hand to give you mouth to mouth Clive. So maybe it would be better not to go under!

Simple, don’t ride like a pussy then sorry, couldn’t help myself

One of my favourite river crossings, I've had to fish a KTM 990 out of there and that was after we showed him the line to take. He thought we were taking the piss, so he went his own way and guess what happened

Not sure how old but older than me so old lol. he was on a CRF205L by the time we got it going again it was cold and dark He's on the left in this photo and that's the river he was bathing in LOL

I almost succeeded in doing that today poor old fucker dropped his bike in a freezing cold river, i had to wade in knee deep to fish him out i thought my feet were going to drop off on the ride home so god knows how cold he was

You've stooped to trying to kill a Pensioner Fred?

It was 0ºC and snowing when i rode over the beacons this morning now get out and ride ya pansy

Took some pics to compare size, all helmets are Arai. Top stair 1990 signet, middle 2003 XD and 2008ish i forget Corsair. lower stair new this year Ram(sic)

You might like this. The first bloke I ever sat next to when i started work at the council was a big scary skinhead. He ended up as our big boss and is now running another council somewhere. He was in a band called the 4 Skins. This is their version of Merry Christmas

Ended up having a great ride around the neighbourhood today. The sun was out and even though there was some black ice in the shade, it was nice riding. Stopped to enjoy the view. ?

Absolutely! Course if you look at the original UJM's they all had high, wide bars and forward footrests........but over the years the bars got lower and narrower and the footrests went back. So the UJM's actually changed a lot over time.

The VStrom is today's UJM

Very carefully, cut a small groove into the bottom bearing with a mini angle grinder, then hit it with a cold chisel and it should break free.

You could class the Kwak as something based on a UJM......but not the other two!

Got another trail ride with the TRF tomorrow going up around the Elan Valley if time permits Got a preview of Elan Valley some shaky one handed videoing from 2009

Got to practice using my new to me camera...nice having telescoptic's...

Dora, the storm ia here, weather is both freezing and wet, not cool Went for a walk with Costa in the morning, we came back running to the car in the middle of a hail storm, not impressed Heavy rain or hail every 20 minutes, and pretty cold outside at less than 10º.
