Oh the English humour!! I learned that one the hard way!! Was cleaning my helmet ( ah, ah,ah!! ) and the work colleagues asked " What are you doing Sofia?" To which I replied "I am cleaning my helmet" "How do you clean it?" They asked. " I spit on it!" I said.... To general amusement!!

Any use?

I got my new boots this morning. And you don't tie the laces up......there's a rotating thing you use to tighten them. This is Space Age shit!

well, thanks a lot! you didnt even miss me

Technically here all over 55's are supposed have the AstraZeneca jab, but if you book it at one of the bigger vaccination centres they tend to have the Pfizer one, so that the AstraZeneca ones are freed up for doctor surgeries and pharmacies who don't have the storage facilities for the Pfizer. I booked at a vaccination centre, so I got the Pfizer. My OH registered for any leftover shots and got a call today to go to a pharmacy about 30kms away for the J&J vaccination. So she's all done now.

Why do you insist on such Gay footwear, get some mens boots ffs...............

Win.

Just had a call from the Health Centre! I'm getting my first Astra Zeneca vaccine at midday next Monday! I asked if I can have Pfizer instead and they said no......all the 60's to 70's get AZ!

WTF did everyone go!!!? Phew, back now.

There's another kind of mud hole he don't mind getting a few inches into especially with those gat tyres

Couldn’t have put it better myself and the ABS on the Himalayan is pretty crude and I’ve had a couple of times where the bloody thing wouldn’t slow down enough on very loose terrain. The best option I’ve had was in the KTM 690 Enduro whereby the aftermarket switch could turn off the rear ABS but leave the front active.

Pedro is present, so its his food as well! Chicken breast scallops with Baharat, tomato rice with pennyroyal ( cortesy of @Pedrothat brought it as a present from a roadside seller in the South) and spinach with garlic and piri piri. For desert, orange cake and oranges!

For what its worth I only know what boots they are cos theyre good looking boots. I also just happen know they dont go down lower than a size 5 . Well jel.

I never said they were gay they are lovely

I'm not a woman at least i don't think. Now you know i have those boots and on my second pair after 5 years of off road abuse so not just a woman with them

Lol the only person I know with those boots is a woman

what do you know we dont @XTreme?!

I wouldnt get too caught up in what vaccine you get, they all work well enough and the chances of side effects are statistically tiny with all of them. Theres a lot of hysteria about. I cant believe how many people are making a fuss. Nobody much gave a toss about vaccines before (save the loopy minority anti vaxers), bet they never asked a single question when they got their holiday jabs. No one ever does, certainly not what manufacturer it is. Bet if they vaccinated billions of people with MMR at the same time that jab would be slated too. The rules on when to lockdown to what level come from central government though dont they? Or has it always been down to the local authority to decide on acceptable infection rates?

Would @Buckster take a pic? SigNature: Just for the ladies, My font is Georgia, my siZe is 20.

I think abs are criticle to riding, lower abdominal strength aides in off road endurance, enhances skill, so work on those abs people.

Don't you dare, I've just had my breakfast!

Tsk tsk remember the key to a healthy lifestyle is a balanced diet.. too many uppers and not enough downers will make jack a very dull crazed boy

Here all tourists are called ‘Grockles’

Thinking more suitable for Pete in the Spanish sunshine

It's pronounced "Gearies"......and any foreigner (particularly from Northern Europe) is classed as one. It's not Brit-specific.

working on it

i have some boots like that only mine are wulf

yep i had the alka seltzer

Did it land up in spam or junk mail? All mine did.

i have to, i have no other life

I did! I just had you marked up as one of those folk who only posts bike content... fortunately you’ve just failed on that score

Whatever I've got is gay according to Bob and Fred! If I bought a rocket launcher they'd turn round and call it gay.

Don't think they're grasped it yet @Tym

What would @Slowlycatchymonkey do?

I have changed a bit since then Tym!

Show them that pic of you in a dress, say you are her, take her place...lol...im trying to help shirley. You can pull this off... trust me.

What Tym said!

Generally most Spanish women are not that well blessed in the tit department!

It was the 0ne inch mud puddle that did it, that was the biggest Adventure he's had for over forty years

If the surgery I go to stick with 10 weeks between jabs then the 30th May but I’ll be away LEJOGING then Makes riding to Germany slightly more likely to happen but its all very much up in the air isn’t it?! Hopefully Germany (and everywhere) will be in a better position by September cos if people have to self isolate for yonks on return I don’t see it being a goer, those holiday days are way too precious aren’t they. I understand Portugal is currently likely to get on the green list though.. it’ll be a bumper year for them if that’s so

You can see where it leads can't you? Buying a Vespa!

If I didn't work for myself I'd be pulling a sickie this week!

well it wasn't me for once!

If I'm on a steep downhill section of trail (especially if it's a loose surface) I turn it off. You want the back wheel to slide to a certain extent and ABS will stop you controlling that.

Yesterday it was my turn to cook some traditional Portuguese food in the shape of peas in tomato sauce with eggs poached in with the peas. They were being taken out of their skins while I was buying them, couldn't get more organic of I tried!! I also made dhal to go with the peas and everyone was vegetarian and happy about it! The peas were ok, but not as tasty as @Pedro version. He was very much missed again, for the peas and Nürburgring stories! The dahl was one of the best Ive ever made, super tasty and really dont know why!! What I do know is I didnt wash the lentils and there was plentyof fermentation in my tummy afterwards!! The pepers with garlic ( lots of garlic) and oil and vinager are one of the most delishes things Portugal has given the world and are simply addictive. Wish I could send all of you a little bit of this... Maybe one day we do a forum gathering!! Who knows...
