Rain today, no beaches. Had old apples So i made this.

I kid you not, a mate of mine, many many years ago when we were first discovering mopeds as dirt bikes, had a mohawk and carved out the foam of his helmet so's not to flatten it...

Glad you fixed your bike @Grasshopper's Ride! Quite the weekend, apparently a 9 year old girl has a beach crush on me, this should go over well in town, in other news, its a full moon tonight kinda maybe not butt close enough.

Got the Himalayan out today and everything seems to be working again. Too hot and dusty for a long ride today, but it is always nice when you fix things and they stay fixed! I think the painting of the shifter looks good, well if you like orange.

Brands Hatch all day … BSB

I'll be right over, save me a slice!

I once couldn’t walk for three days due to a very heavy handed epidural. I couldn’t understand on day two (when the opiates were really not suppressing the appetite any longer) why I was just so bloody hungry and why there was no food. Eventually very starved I dared ring the bedside bell to be told food is served down there… when couldn’t friggin walk! They then transferred my care back to a much maligned hospital that treated me so nicely, kindness and food and dignity. Never forgot the difference hospitality makes to recovery. You can work with the finest minds and the best medical people and compromise a persons recovery with the basic silly things.

There was a new high this evening when I didn’t get any dinner at all Bloody good job my wife brought that pasta in earlier

Four people ended up in hospital or injured from that event. I was ambulanced in to hospital for a stroke before I had even had a chance to hand out the rally tickets so never left Essex at all. My parents were given a list of addresses from my hospital bed and ran around town distributing them. I was the least injured out of the four by the end of the weekend! Jackie made it to the rally, then had a crash on the associated trail riding and broke a rib or two, spending all night in a welsh hospital. She was very upset at having her bra cut off she said afterwards. Strange Dave's brother Tony had a head on crash with another trail bike at speed on the same trail riding event, possibly by a Welsh nationalist making a point. This was captured on film and made me wince with the crunchiness of it all. He had bruises all over and a wrecked DR350. He was very upset about Jackie having her bra cut off as well. Martin rode his DR250 up a hill on the same trail riding event and had a tumble which did something to one of his knees and he was off work for a week afterwards. He wasn't that bothered about Jackie's bra, he's a bit self centred.

Bad crash yesterday , hope he pulls through https://www.britishsuperbike.com/news/2021/brad-jones-race-1

Step this way for Rugged Individualism!

I am proud of this thread!

Definitely in for rises but its the hospitalisation and death rate they have their eye on and whatever happens this summer is nothing compared to what’s going to happen a few weeks after the schools go back and the weather becomes inclement Fingers crossed nothing truly vaccine resistant has turned up by then. I have my suspicions everyone will have moved onto the “just get your booster and live with it” school of thought by then, the economy will certainly be asking for that and the psychopaths in charge here were thinking that right from the start.

That sadly that is inevitable, its just a question of time. As I explained to my mother on the phone today who is reluctant to celebrate her 70th birthday tomorrow this is as safe as its going to be for a while, the more time that passes the further away from the original strain the variations get and the more risky things become until a tweaked vaccine is administered so she may as well enjoy this bit of freedom while its here because a coronavirus wearing a different crown our immune systems doesnt recognise is in the post. Everyone also overlooks that children and schools are breeding grounds for all virus’ and no children are vaccinated so the virus has free access to these mixing vials…

Nice one @Pedro

Summer colours is a warm part of Portugal

My mate xxx, a fellow council worker, had the hots for a particular girl and in a drunken moment invited her to come with him to the bike show run by the Hells' Angels at some drag race place in the midlands, can't remember what it was called. Sir Fallsalot will know, I'm sure he has been. Now xxx had a habit of misunderstanding females when they said yes to his invitations and this had caused a few problems at various events, including a drunk Irish girlfriend of his trying to attack another girl at 2am as she slept in her tent and him breaking up with said girlfriend by text as she flew home because he was too scared to do it in person after she went for him with a whisky bottle in a pub. But that's a whole other story. Anyway, he's got the hots for some girl, he has got drunk one night down the village pub and invited her to this HA show, she has said what a good idea, he has bought the tickets. He is plumping up the seat of his GSXR1100 and zipping two sleeping bags together ready for a weekend of passion. Then it turns out that what she actually meant was she would be going with her boyfriend he didn't know about and her friend was also coming and could xxx give her a lift on his bike and put her up in his tent. Xxx is a bit of a shallow person and his exact words to me were that he didn't like to stare but he had never seen such an odd looking girl as the friend he was supposed to take. A healthy strapping girl with a large, even huge head of red frizzy hair was roughly how he described her (no offence Pete). Basically, there was no way he was taking her, but on the other hand he still harboured hopes of success with the girl he did like so was in a panic about how to get out of it and still keep on her good side. In a moment of inspiration he asked me to go to this rally on the back of his bike and share his tent so he could tell the flame haired maiden that he could not take her after all as it was my lifelong dream to go. I said no way in hell was I doing either, I had suffered both of those fates before!! Now he was/is notoriously tight, he has been known to glue on a set of heated grips given to him by a fellow rider for the Elephant Rally in Germany (pay me when you get back they thought he'd agreed to) and he carefully removed them and handed them back to the original owner after getting home. So imagine my shock when he asked if it was the cost stopping me, because he would happily give me his spare ticket for free. I said no again. He kept asking me every time he saw me, this went on for weeks. Then I found out that Chuck Berry was playing at this rally. I remember being very tempted to go, the chance to see one of the original rock and rollers, I mean, he couldn't have many years left could he? But then I thought long and hard and decided it would be funnier to wind xxx up about spending the weekend with the ginger siren. Come the weekend of doom and I couldn't resist ringing him up on his mobile on Friday night. I may have made some comments about checking his sleeping bag for red curly hairs when he got back, but no, my fun was ruined. His actual words were, "Very funny, well as it happens, I have had a bit of luck. Her friend has been in a serious car accident and couldn't go after all." He is a charmer isn't he. So I switched to my second line of piss taking, asking how he was getting on with his quest for romance with the girl he did fancy and did her huge boyfriend put any sort of damper on that. Turns out they had both decided not to go after all, he was there on his own (relatively speaking). Oh yeah, Chuck Berry was ill and didn't play I hear, so I wouldn't have seen him anyway!

Nano means small so it is only a little gay.

This popped up on YouTube......and it's unbelievable! Down to -71C in Siberia! People leaving their cars running permanently......cos it'll freeze solid after 20 minutes of inactivity. Break down in it outside the city and unless you can fix it on the spot you're likely to die! Cameras and phones not operating properly.....cos they're getting frozen.
