I'm with you and i don't watch read or listen to anything that mentions it and then i come on here and there it is here's some Mems to cheer you and me up

Ive used my CRF250 Rally to got to France twice, the first time I only used it as my DR650 was out of commision. I thought it would be underpowered but absolutey not, stick to the side roads and trails and it's bloody ace. Those sort of roads are soooooooo much better that route national or autoroutes in France anyway, there is so much more to see. I wouldn't hesistate to use it to ride to Spain or Italy.

An entertaining covid story- school children have discovered orange juice gives a false positive on a covid test so guess what the little monkeys have been doing when they want to stay at home

I noticed you haven't whinged about the new front page @Sir Fallsalot.......that's unlike you! Cos normally it's.......

England, England, England ................. Suck it up Ginge

I have not been to a football match since 1969, when Mansfield Town thrashed West Ham 3:0 in the FA Cup. I got a kicking after the game.

you whinge bag twats.... after the couple of years we have had , whats wrong with Our team doing well and giving us something to cheer about.... people that dont like footy are weird .

Well according to 99% of the Welsh nation you HAVE to be born with rugby ball in your hands or be able to sing like Tom Jones. So, when you're ready let's hear it . You can decide between you who's going to sing for us first ................

I'm trying not to think about Italy v England final

Mr Slowly couldn’t understand my interest in when the England fixtures are until I explained its a great time to go for a ride, so long as your back before they spill out of the pubs and get in their cars

Well that is sort of true. The vaccination gives your body’s immune system a memory of what the unwanted virus looks like so when the real deal turns up your immune systems bouncers are ready to go. A side effect of this in people with a reasonable immune response is the virus is wiped out before it gets a hold or to the shedding stage which is where you are shedding diseased cells and can infect other people. The shedding timing is different in different diseases. So by their very nature all immunisations cut down on disease transmission. This is how the herd immunity effect works, it helps to protect the unvaccinated because it becomes difficult for the virus to transmit and that gives protection to the morons who dont want to get vaccinated. So yes someone can have a vaccination and still catch a disease and pass it on its just at a vastly reduced rate. Its not something they want to broadcast at the moment because its not useful for compliance with mask wearing or crowd control before they have enough people jabbed.

The only thing i like about football is it gives me quieter roads and trails

This is what 70mph feels like on my 400 and 650 And this is what 70mph feels like on the Africa twin

You probably stole it.

I doubt i really ever have any idea what i mean to be honest.

I think they all eat a humungus turkey, pretend to like each other and no one shoots anyone for a day

Correct, you got knocked out (sorry thrashed) by Denmark

No I don't! No interest whatsoever! The only sport I've ever followed (besides motorcycle related) is Boxing. I even got up as a young kid in the middle of the night to watch Clay (as he was then) "beat" Sonny Liston with the phantom punch!

My team did fuck all, too

The important word there is "our"......in our case (me, @Sir Fallsalot, @Specs).......it's not our team!

Fred's exactly the same as me in those respects then! @Sir Fallsalot.......I guess you're used to the bewildered look you get from people (usually English) when you say you're not interested in Rugby? They seem to think we were all born with a rugby ball in our hands!

I'm back......it's hot and very humid!

Actually, we get to thank Civilians with guns for this one. Behind every tree bitches.

There are plenty of false positives with the lateral flow tests.

Absolutely Dave, it's all about money. Boris the bogladite is just going to let it all open now .................

its only one game .... its coming home ...... or is it.

Im not a big fan of team sports, like the coach said, there is no i in team. Couldnt agree more, i dont work well with others.

So I'm taking from your little ouburst that you don't really like football then Fred I seem to remember that you don't like Rugby as well, in fact if it wasn't for the fact that you're a 'Jones' I'd suspect that you're not even Welsh

Cant say I've noticed a change

The Hanoverians will be even more unbearable if they win Fred! But even if they get past Denmark......they've got to beat Italy or Spain. More likely Italy! That's a bridge too far!

Yes. Infection rates are rising but hospitalisation and deaths currently arent increasing at the same rate which is the key factor. Getting a mild illness that requires no intervention and causes no long term disability is the key.

Big storm here, enjoy it in 3 days or so when you Euro types get it..

It's the total opposite here

My old xl250s would do a little over 70mph flat output would happily sit at 60 all day. You can cover the ground maybe not as quick as you'd like at the smaller end.

Off out now for an hour......cos it's heating up here!

You are going to have a stroke if you dont lighten up in life Buck.

Is this the @yen_powell thread?

I’m torn. Id like all three and love the Himalayan thats no flyweight but its a compromise. The lighter the better until youve got cover ground.

Damn right!

thats cause the Euros are on...

I'm laking in the small variety.

Bloody news and Social Media is full of football shit!

A bottle of wine a a few shorts later I could be testing that theory.

What Fred said

Rain forecast but ok at the Mo. Got to go to the bank so there'll be market chips. Mandi wants to pick new colours for the kitchen back room and conservatory so that'll be fun.

My daughter does the lateral flow tests on the staff and residents at the care home where she works. Some of the staff have failed the test, been sent home. One of them on the way home stopped at the local Covid test centre, and passed the test there!!!.......go figure

Its a holiday weekend over here, Independence day...made possible by citizens with guns...i love this one.
