If I could I'd tell my hair to fuck off, don't want nothing to do with it after knowing it's going to quit on me

You'll be fine Pete, I've seen the pictures of 'young you', you'd avoid all contact if you saw him mooching about grunting and dribbling.

Ride it with no top box on a long ride, see if you don't like not having the sail effect on sidewinds. Don't come up with the excuse for locking your helmet and jacket, you stop in deserted places where nobody would steal shit. He probably knows how to take it off. He's just too scared to not being able to put it back on

I have almost always wore Dainese, jackets since I've bought my first bike up until now, jeans, boots, only wearing a pair of bmw summer gloves now. Dainese used to be the brand that Honda dealers carried back when Honda was THE main brand in Portugal. Now my new home is near a Dainese outlet and portuguese distributer, so ever since I bought the 1150 it's just been convenient to buy the brand. That's the place I stop by for a coffee and sometimes to buy a box of wine to take home, people treat me nice and their cuts suit my weird body better than anything else I've tried. I wouldn't say no to other brands of stuff, but I do like design and like to feel like something suits me. I went shopping for jeans and a jacket last year and tried several BMW, Revit, Spidi, etc, but somehow ended back with Dainese. I like my Schuberth helmet and I'm on my second one of the same model. To be honest I like it because the C3Pro is the lightest of the modulars, and supposedly the quietest, but I've bought the second one because being a previous model it was 250€ cheaper than anything else I would consider an alternative.

Yeah, absolutely, I line them with old pants as well, they flourish with a bit of manure.

Don’t be too hasty @XTreme, never look a gift horse in the mouth

No mate, that would be far too effeminate

As a wife definitely but as a shag probably not. Mind you, her best mate wasn’t bad either…….now you’ve given me a dilemma @XTreme

We would grow into a position to make changes though. First would be to not swop an electric guitar dad got for me.

The nut job who murdered the two women was convicted on dna evidence, but his defence was arguing that the evidence could have been flawed by the presence of the two coppers at the crime scene. The prosecution managed to convince the court that they didn't get close enough to the bodies to contaminate them with their own dna, but it could easily gone the other way and that nut job could have been freed to do the same again! Hopefully the court will give them substantial prison time!

Is there a brand of motorcycle gear that you always seem to go back to and why? Held gloves are the brand that I always find fit me the best. And most of them don't have that annoying seam that runs up the thumb and digs into it on the throttle hand. They seem to wear pretty good too.

Finished putting it together tonight and been out for a run, I'd forgotten how well it pulls and sooo smooth compared to the two stroke, That Beta is turning me into a wimp the clutch is so light on it i had a shock when i got on the dog the clutch was almost a two hand operation something i hadn't noticed before. Changed the oil with some cheap ebay stuff and will swap it again in a few hundred miles if it runs that long. MOT booked for tomorrow and then i can put some miles on it feeling happy

I have a fair bit of Klim gear. My Overland jacket and trousers have been superb, Powercross gloves are the most waterproof gloves I've ever owned, Dakar gloves not so good as they wore out pretty quick and my Krios Carbon helmet is pretty crap for the money. I recently bought a Rukka jacket as I think Klim have lost their way and got very expensive.

My OS map collection @Sir Fallsalot Those are just a few of them

Talking of gloves i always bought these Tech 7 Cyber gloves for the trail bike as i don't like long gloves and i wanted some protection for the road riding but they are now discontinued and everything like them are double the price The pair i have is getting to the end of their life and didn't know what i was going to get next That was until i went to Trago Mills for the first time a few weeks ago and picked up a pair of these they were just over £7 when i checked out, so far i'm well impressed with them so impressed going back to buy a shit load for future use

Up for what, exactly …?

Mistake? I think not

Not seen 1st wife since around 1978/9...which is nice. Last I heard, she had buggered off back up Geordie land........for which I am grateful.

1st wife!...........my brother shagged her!......gawd knows how many more did? I think myself lucky i did not end up with a S.T.D, that was donated by someone unknown.

I give them to friends who turn them into hanging baskets in the garden. I will get pictures next time they are in bloom. You have to take the lining out and drill a few small drain holes.

A man of your age is in no position to pick and choose Ray! As with @Sir Fallsalot......don't you want to run your fingers through your hair one last time?

I would have to find younger you and say don't be a twat and marry her......you could do the same for me. Give me your address at the that time and I will see what I can do

The thing is Dave, those of you who are a bit younger than me and @Clive would be going back to a time when you were kids. So you wouldn't be in the position to make changes in your life. The objective for me and Clive is to stop our younger selves marrying our first wives.

God made men inches and miles for a reason. On the bright side its a short winter if we:re looking for your pics.

This whole fucking place is trolling now! Why do I always get lumbered with all the fucking idiots on the internet?

All of these have been repeat purchases. Knox waterproofs. But recently they doubled the price from the £55 mark to over £100 Not happy about that cos I want another pair of trews and I dont see any reason for the price hike. Daytona boots, designed and manufactured like the Germans can, comfortable, warm, waterproof and safe as a boot can be. Bowtex for the freedom to mobike safely in your pyjamas if you choose. Hood jeans for Mr Slowly cos those cargo pants just look too good (dont think they make them anymore) and they were fully kevlar lined. Modika summer gloves because they come in many multiple proper glove sizes, if your a size 7 you get a size 7. Lastly Unplug bags. Genuinely waterproof, multiple lashing points, bag tightning straps all over it, padded backpack straps, very tough. Id set aside double the money for the Ortlieb bag Id been pouring over n this bag blows it away. https://needtounplug.com/collections/unplug-adventure-bags If you fancy one order from amazon germany (amazon.de) as amazon.co.uk will send you the wrong bag all the way from America! Oh Im a gear geek

Trouble is Bob he doesn't understand the full functionality of the top box either that or he cant remember how to take it off

For an intelligent bloke I wonder if you've got your brain in gear sometimes. I would estimate that it takes all of 10 SECONDS to remove a top box so that you can take a better photo . Then you may stop moaning about not ever winning

This lot are not interested in functionality Bob......only making a fashion statement!

What you can't see in the picture I posted today is all the stuff crammed into my top box that I was transferring to the new house.

Flowers grow in an environment where your head has been Yen?

I can't! Feels wrong throwing them out ...

It does sound fine in the video. I recommend ear plugs just in case.

Got a good friend who’s a policeman and he’s a lovely guy. Doesnt like violence or bullying, he’s just a generally all round good’n. So nice that long ago when there were riots in Bristol and it was getting nasty he climbed on top of the police van and said he wouldn’t come down until everyone started behaving His superiors then decided his gentle even temperament made him ideal for the armed response devision cos he’d be far more likely to talk someone out of whatever stupidity they’d got themselves into than be trigger happy and blow them away. I always respected that decision making, recruiting people who arent into guns n dont actually want to shoot anyone is a sound thought process that keeps people breathing. If you’ve ever experienced a group of men egging each other on and its aimed at you its fucking frightening, one minute they can seem perfectly normal and the next some pack mentality takes over and you're no longer viewed as human (if you ever were with these types). Youre suddenly acutely aware youre in a dangerous position and no-one can help you get out of it. Its clear theres no bottom to where it can go. It happens so fast you have to hope you can recognise it quickly and get the fuck out of there as fast as you can. I think its one of the.side effects of women being viewed by some as a second rate species, that and knuckle dragging animal dominance. Generally you have to acknowledge being female in a male dominated environment is going to be dodgy cos theres always a percentage that cant/wont drag themselves into this century.

My dad was a Special constable for several years.........he said some of the police were bigger crook than the ones they were trying to catch.

Yep, never did that myself of course, too chicken

(32°F − 32) × 5/9 = 0°C HTH. XXXOOO, Cuntly McCuntface

And the dynamo on the wheel.....stop!....no lights

At only 53 i don't know how you old fuckers are still going i'm constantly aching and cant remember fuck all from the past, i also cant remember the last time i got out of a chair without making a noise of some kind can you drop me off in the late eighties on the way back i'd like to run my fingers through my hair again

lol that’s wot my dad said too

I know a guy named Bill who could fix all this.

She's on the payroll Bob! When she retires she'll have a peerage!

How that twat Cressida Dick stays in charge of that lot god only knows. How many more scandals on her watch are needed before she gets the push, she doesn't even apologise for the actions of her force until she has to.

Not yet anyway test ride tomorrow night see how it goes

A few new organs to transplant into the monster were waiting for me when i got home from work tonight not much there for £534 After a few hours on the operating table the monster lives again lets hope it lives longer than a KLR this time. I'll finish putting it together tomorrow night take it for a short run then drop the oil and hopefully an MOT on Thursday
