The roads are clear n smooth, couldnt be happier… cud b warmer tho

On it …

So close. Just a bit more tomoz. Might even have some helmet cam footage whoop whoop!

My mind is fried when it comes to remembering things like this but i did remember a few today Hawkwind in the Bristol bike show. It was blowing a gale and i was too pissed to go to the stage they did sound good from the beer tent though Debbie Harry at kent custom show again too pissed Meatloaf at a sit down event somewhere which was weird but i was sober and he put on a great show I'm sure there is more but i'll have to ask the wife

Caroline says that she's washing her hair that day, sorry.

She can't wait to get up here and meet me! Understandable really!

left it charging over night , fired straight up this morning , get a multimeter on it later see if its holding.

No class, that’s your trouble Pete. Just as a reference, here’s what a proper Himalayan should look like.

You reek of Solvol.

Yes, if you shoot it at someone and they die it was probably a live round.

Ah, now, that's where you're completely wrong! @XTreme is a well known scrubber!

what you know.... you wouldn't know a 10m spanner from a claw hammer, let alone different cleaning methods or products .

Bleach on metal is ok as long as it's not left on too long and is well washed off. Harpic black bog cleaner works wonders on really grubby headers.

Welcome Jed... quick question , do you support Man utd ?

Can’t believe she ain’t got handguards on that Himalayan. Fucking sacrilege

I was usually out of it at these kind of gigs. Saw Joe Bonamasa here on my sixtieth. Back in the mists of time saw Groundhogs, Edgar Broughton, James Brown, Barclay James Harvest, Stone the Crows, Deep Purple - I think, Black Sabbath, Horselips, and most of the Cardiff bands. I've seen Walter Trout three times or was it four? Saw bob Marley play in Auckland not long before he died. Secondary smoking was interesting. Roger Waters Dark Side of the Moon tour at Sao Paulo. Youssou N'Dour in Dakar. There must be loads of others that I can't remember.

I heard she had video proof of him on epsteins island doing awful things who knows though. They are a weird narcissistic bunch imo.

Not used very often though.

Guns are designed for one primary purpose, to kill people. Why is it a surprise when people get killed around guns?

One year ago today we arrived in France to start our new adventure. It's been a bit of a roller coaster ride so far, but things seem to be settling down now and we hope to finally get our own place in a couple of weeks.

At our age what's the point of taking a different citizenship Bob.......we won't get much mileage out of it. And in my case, I can't renounce British citizenship (which I'd have to do here) because it means I'd no longer be Welsh. That's never going to happen!

Unlike Six.....who just reeks of bullshit and van brochures!

You truly are Fuckmine - The Next Generation!

See.....you now know about it.

I've never really been into concerts and really dislike crowds so have seen very little live music. I remember seeing The Boomtown rats at a theatre in London. They were playing in the interval in some show that my gran had taken us to see, i was far too young, about 8 or 9 I guess. I remember the song though, cos it was "I don't like Mondays" though I didn't recognise it till years later. I've seen various smaller bands at open air do's in my misspent youf, I think I saw Blodwyn Pig but don't remember it, Phil collins with Phl bailey, Stryper, The Pogues ( in a pub in southampton) and Bob Dylan in Dijon about 20 odd years ago. French bands like Renaud before his voice gave out and Ultra Vomit live in the parc in auxerre, but no really big groups. Dylan was... welll... Dylan not really a showman but genius lyricist and musicien. the Pogues were fucking brilliant, but you have to like that sort of thing.

its a downpipe Tango...

Just stopped by the local hardware store to get some bolts. they have a weapon clearing station near the front (next to the candy, of course). They practice better weapon safety than our boy Alec does....

I got to admit i really enjoyed that bike in DCT form but agree about the rear suspension i thought my spine was going to bust out the top of my head going from Abergwesyn to Llyn Brianne

Nothing could be worse than the suspension on the original bike

Hi Jed, is your surname ' Clampett ' Cool bike btw, only the cool dudes ride T700's

Whatever the reason Alec Baldwin will still be a complete cunt.

I love a good conspiracy.

Did he see Lone?

Interesting to see if something comes to light on that!

Excellent that you got across OK. Any border issues? Yeah, just because the sun is shining doesn't mean that it's warm. Hopefully your run down south will go well. The bikes are running OK? I bet you'll be glad of having the bikes when you get there.

If i ever went to one i aparently was to drunk to remember. Ant man was at woodstock.

Unfortunately I saw them after Lee Brilleaux's passing. Saw a tribute band, The Feelgood Band, who are pretty good and kind of endorsed by the surviving members of the original band.

Id want a chat with the union people too, one might have thrown in a live round in the pile of blanks on purpose when leaving to make a point. They called it fragging in the .mil

Thanks Treme, I’m originally from Manchester Uk, but swapped countries back in 2016 Swapped bikes this year from a Triumph 800 xca to the Tenere 700

Kids don’t know how lucky they are today , in my day @Mawsley wasn’t about…

I have been tempted by one of these, or a Shoei Hornet, I quite like to cruise along with my Shoei motocross helmet up until 90 or 100km/h as it's so light and the aerodynamics work well at low speeds, although I've only done for local short rides. BUT, I don't think I will want non flip up for touring, I find the full helmets just too clumsy with the bike stopped.

Another band I'd like to have seen was SAHB! Alex Harvey was a major influence on Bon Scott! Incredible frontman!

Pretty much the same here. I had a bollocking for not letting people know the news as I'd heard it when it happened and then went to sleep.

that should be an instant ban if any one admits to seeing him..... rumour has it Mawsley filled him with 2 pints of his Jizzle .

Oldest bit of kit I've got is probably me.

Thanks a lot I can’t seem to get nothing from this site, it’s a shambles I tell ya.

Yes, we had to sell our house in the UK before we could buy here. We "sold" it late last year, but the "buyer" messed us around until March this year before he then decided he didn't want to buy it! Fortunately it sold within a week of being put back on the market, but because of the buying rules here, we couldn't make an offer on a place until we had the money in the bank. When we first planned to move over early last year it was for Mandy to take up a job in the European headquarters of the company she worked for. We got things in place and I took early retirement, then a few weeks before we were due to move, Mandy's company imposed a global headcount freeze, so the job offer was withdrawn. We decided that, as we had already made the decision to move, that we'd do it anyway. Mandy volunteered for redundancy from her job and we went ahead with the move. Mandy set herself up as a freelance consultant, but work was slow. Then, a few months back, a senior director from the European headquarters phoned her and sounded her out about a new role, which is what Mandy is doing now. The biggest thing has been in getting into all the "systems" here. The French love a bit of bureaucracy, so getting into the healthcare system, the tax system, getting our residency permits and all the other stuff has been challenging, but we're pretty much there with it all now. The coasters? Well, the French lifestyle! and we're both pretty impressed with the healthcare system here so far.

Yeah but Britain fucking remembers you.
