Can't believe that MotoBummer and I got out to ride yesetrday...in November! 70F / 22c out and sunny. Only got in a couple hundred miles and a little bit of dirt road riding...

we went off to fleetwood today for a look around and some dinner and not very warm out so we were soon in the caffee (much warmer) which was packed out they must have had the same idea as us to get out of the weather, anyway we finally found a table and ordered a fish and chips and a lasagn with chips and salad plus two milky coffee's . so after that we had a ride to cleveleys to have a look at the shops, there we were met with a biting cold wind (even colder than fleetwood ) so needless to say we didn't stop too long and we were soon on our way home

I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but take a lok around you mate! Have you seen the folk in here?! No one normally constituted would put up with it... .

Mr Slowlys laptop bag was stolen 4 days ago and the ‘find my’ locations services had its last location in a vast scrubland of 3 metre high sharp pampas grass. He and the police searched for it until all hope was lost. This morning I woke up with a strong feeling Id find it. I persuaded Mr Slowly to take me there and I found it in the first bit of grass I went into. This is the size of the scrubland it was in. Mental ay. I shall be checking any seats that are pulled out for me arent ducking chairs edit: it was only the ipad I found the laptop and bag are a gonna. Heyho, it was the ipad that upset him most.

yep just noticed sorry, must try harder could do better

Good. You can keep it.

Very windy here at times.....not sure if iam going out as the scoot gets blown about.

On another bike site I go on it was a relatively regular complaint from new members that they were sick of all the pervy sites in the header/footer adverts when they browsed the site. It was then pointed out to them that they would be based on their own personal internet history.

Well let's see now, I retired (officially) aged 50 years and 3 months. I may have inferior DNA but I'm not stupid................

Meat and not the kind your usually gagging on

I don't like Lasagne but you cant beat proper chip shop chips

They road had just been plowed and the ripples were made of soft, silty dirt. Not really rough at all. Fun road to ride.

Are you always worried people might miss out on your ride reports without a little warning?

Imagine Bob in his early years with dreadlocks playing rasta...

There are other sites?

Be nice if people dint dress up like freaks! Style means nothing anymore!

bet that bike can wheelie

bollox ... it was welsh twat getting bummed into the middle of next week in abandoned villages by midget Dagos with an audience of dead dogs.

So working until the day you die makes the Welsh better?

And when I point out to them what is an undeniable medical fact I get accused of being racist!

Yep......we're working Pensioners aren't we Phil? Unlike our English counterparts.......they're completely fucked up! Younger than us and in Old Folks homes! It proves what I've said all along.......Welsh DNA is far superior to English DNA! Like comparing Ice Cream to Horse Shit!

Yup its a good job its not white sauce

and chips

Horsepower sauce? I know I hijacked this thread, but it just keeps coming. And @Sir Fallsalot, daddy’s sauce sounds wrong…

Putting a picture up doesn't make it any clearer I prefer HP brown sauce

See what I mean @Pedro, feckin heathens . When we were in France our mate Deano (he's a chef) made an ace Spaghetti Bolognese but @Sir Fallsalot wouldn't eat it , said it was 'foreign' or something like that ?

No argument, as long as you don’t mix them

Back in 2005 me and @yen_powell had mashed potato with our curry in Carmarthen!

You have a sauce named “brown”?

Which part? Please no put chips with lasagna

I, like Pedro, was dead set against comms for years. I got so pissed off at people phoning me from work all the time and having to stop, remove gloves, remove lid, remove earplugs ( or at least one) get the phone out of it's case, ring them back, leave a message and wait for them to ring me again (or wosre put all the clobber back on only to have them ring back 30 seconds after I've got going...I succombed and found a cheap one on an online sale room for 50€. I can now simply pull over and talk to whichever technicien has fucked up without having to spend ages de-gearing and gearing up again. The sound quality is shit but it allows communication, a conversation if I stop and gps vocal instructions more or less. It is not indispensable, but I will invest in a vetter quality one whe this one dies. Never wanted heated grips before, but do enjoy them now. never wanted satnav before, but to use it a lot now. none of the gadgets I have, especially the electronics are so vital that their absence would pose a problem though.

no afraid not but its a coastal town there used to be a steam packet ferry running from there to the isle of man but not for a long time a few years ago they tried to reinstate it but it didn't happen and the fishing industry is in the decline there too not many fishing boats left but plenty of caffee's and a large indoor market

Bob said that 6 hours ago!

I'm not one to just sit round talking shit on the net......so.....

Now he's moved onto Hip Hop!

R.I.P. Astro I saw UB40 a couple of times back in the day, great band.

Well I'll be damned....links?

After searching Kursaal vids on the other thread this came up. If you wind back to the beginning before the music you get lots of aerial video of the pier and the Kursaal. The pier is still it's original length (1976 the film) before some twat sailed a ship though the middle of it. Only a mile long nowadays, I walked it a few months back, but got the train back to shore. A local told me that the people stranded in the cut off section after the accident weren't very happy at the time. On 30 June 1986, a 54.9-metre (180 ft) tanker named Kings Abbey crashed into the pier, severing a 21.3-metre (70 ft) gap from the new pierhead to the rest of the pier, destroying the boathouse used by the lifeboat service and causing major structural damage due to the destruction of iron piles and supporting girders. I hated Dr Feelgood after seeing them about three years running at the Kent Custom Show, but this one song I do like, regularly played in the garage or car.

Yesterday before Id done any searching for a DIY store I asked @XTreme on here how to find one. Mr Slowly came into the room and said wotcha doin? I replied asking Pete about DIY stores, he said have a look and see if theres something called a Leroy Merlin nearby. He’d seen one in Granada so “Leroy Merlin” was repeated in the conversation several times. I opened a new page and got as far as typing ‘Le’ before Leroy Merlin was the suggested search. That type of thing with adverts and search suggestions happens all the time, it freaked me out at first but now I dont mind, saves times having what your searching just pop up in front of you even if it means your conversation is always being listened to! Many people dont realise its a thing, I think its way over the creepy line and you should be asked explicitly if you want to opt in but as usual money money money money. If you google how to stop my phone listening the instructions for switching this freaky stuff off are there. The only thing I find annoying about it is I have to spend a lot of time talking about guitars with my son and I am fed up being bombarded with guitar adverts when I dont play, search for or buy guitar stuff!

We ended up getting the number one spot on Google searches for the term "Sad Cunt in a Van" after that fiasco!

you ungrateful cunt , all the effort i put in this year with my trips to keep this place going .... unbelievable !!

Looking good @Grasshopper's Ride! @MooN should love this, not happy with the seac acting like a tug, i strapped a boggie board to the bottom now shes twice as fast and can handle a wave or too! Bizarre and unstable whoo hoo! Dropped my camera in 20 feet of water, a quick recovery is a good recovery!

Thanks It helps that I leave home with a proper camera instead of just a cell phone these days. ahhhh....the lifestyle of the intrepid photographer.....

On the morning hike we came across this sleepy guy. He was curious of us but in no hurry to get going, so we let him sleep a bit longer.

Same here......the one that stood out as missing to me was Caravaca de la Cruz......god knows how many times I've been there!
