Well looks like I will be staying close to home this weekend. Most of the forest service roads are closed due to the rain storm. Too many mud slides and trees down over the road. So much for my Himalayan fun. Then my favourite road along with many of the side roads are still closed, so much for my Honda fun.... ....and NOW we have fuel rationing because the supply roads are such a mess and they can't get volume through, only 30L allowed at one time per visit......so much for my 4x4 fun. Sooooo, good thing I have many fun and interesting projects around the house to keep me busy....

Yes, just around the highways around here, did about 60 miles, nothing exciting, but I did not stop to take photos.....so it did not not happen,.

Fine, just got back from my latest PT sessions with mother earth™.

Malfunction with one of @Tym home made skull things , hope he's ok

A masked bandit is stealing me crabapples by moonlight! Get the shotgun Erl!

might put the bike in the back tomorrow and go round the block.

what a woman

Yup. Seals bring the big ones in. No biggie i carry a pole spear and a knife, just got to know, Darwin makes the rules.

There's a formula for bridge height signs that errs on the safe side, so it is probably half a foot higher then that. But then some twat resurfaces the road and doesn't tell the bridge people who look after the signs that there is more or less room of course. From Chapter 4 TSM 7.4.1.  The imperial figure shown on signs to indicate the available headroom should be at least 3 inches less than the measured height to allow a safety margin. If the resulting figure is not a multiple of 3 inches, it should be rounded down to the nearest lower multiple of 3 inches. Example 1: measured height 15’-2”: Step 1 subtract 3” to create a safety margin 14’-11” Step 2 round down to nearest multiple of 3” Step 3 sign as 14’-9”. Example 2: measured height 14’-6”: Step 1 subtract 3” to create a safety margin 14’-3” Step 2 sign as 14’-3” (rounding down not required as already a multiple of 3”)

Fuckmine its friday? Who stole my thursday. Got some tinted made in italy swim googles to pose in....whoo hoo...

It’s a whale shark you dumb ginger cunt!

Do it!

@Clive was more restrained on the other site you know!

its fucking winter , what did you expect herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically across the plain in the glorious sunshine

The weather seems to be on a downward spiral here.....BBC 10 days forecast say (maybe) 4c and possible sleet next weekend....

hes a fucking amateur Tym .... not enough variety , to predictable and no one likes predictable .

He's making moves to retain his title I'd say!

The Classic OldSchool Buckster is back, cool. Six made him step up his game me thinks.

33f and i have my wet/dry suit sucking heat from the vent, got my new made in italy tinted swim googles, just so i have the biggest italian tinted lenses on the beach! That wont be easy butt!

I’m not a fan of these new full colour displays. Fella with a 2020 Africa twin had his fail, saved only by his warranty. £2,400 to replace it plus labour. They’re in fashion right now, my own bike was mocked in 2018 for not having it, I’m rather glad about that. But it’s certainly put the wind up a few owners. The cost if it goes wrong.

From the link above, this is currently being converted into our new Town hall, no one wants to work there it's a nightmare to get to or park around. Even the Elephant Man died rather than stay there, I bet I get his old room (when they finish getting all the asbestos out of it), or a desk outside on the old helicopter pad, I'm sure that wasn't an original feature!

What you say @Bruce?

I still have nightmares about triple carbs.

I think the trauma with the Tiger tipped him over the edge!

he was wasn't he... he's a bugger on here though.

ouch , bit rude clive

I am/was hoping for a rerun of last winter, we had a couple of days of snow when we got up, gone by midday.....frosts, which is to be expected, but mostly not too bad.

it's that time of the year guys

Pretty grim everywhere Clive!

I think hes been pickled.

Sky is black and it's drizzling! Fuckmine!

Gay.

Ride by wire throttle, rider modes, fecking TV screen stuck in front of you and it weighs 15 pounds more than it's KTM sister. Oh ! and it's not a LC8 engine , the LC8 twin was a V-twin configuration . On the plus side it looks better than the KTM 890.

Mostly getting back to the good life Packed up a case with some luxury items, loose twist pile (sounds like folk on this forum) xtra lrg bath sheet size towels, Egyptian cotton sheets, heated throws, good quality chocolate, branston , tracklements extra hot mustard, pork n pickle pies … oh yeah this trip is just waaay hard core Bonus, my good friend who’s joining me wants a car to get about, fair doos I say and hire one. I go over on Monday evening to help her with the annoying covid forms and ask her if her passport and driving licence are in date…. Passport yes, driving licence? Wot they expire? She applies to renew her licence Tuesday morning. I think how great, I get to drive her everywhere in a car like a holiday chauffeur while my bike sits idle, can’t wait Then she text me about 4pm to say look wot turned up. Yep her new driving licence arrived, applied Tuesday arrived Friday

not sure i should be telling people

Supposedly the last mild day tomorrow ......get my act together and have a ride . Spare room is all ready for the scoot to slumber in IF the bad/cold weather arrives.

looks like mates helping each other out

International Motorcycle Show tomorrow, Los Angeles Car Show on Sunday. Will see which manufacturers show and those that dont. On the upside, we will be riding to the IMS show, cause Kali

Yeah everywhere I have applied for have all of a sudden got in contact and its the same hours worked for nearly 4k more a year

Think I'll be joining you!

Going to the rugby club tomorrow to watch England vs South Africa with the lads, then to some Christmas Market on Sunday morning....apart from that fuck all then starting on concrete wagons on Monday morning

Yet again I report to you that I will be doing fuck all.
