This is better than varnishing doors. Nice sea breeze here. Stopped one short of the turning. Meant to be down there Found the only sliver of shade I could, can’t imagine battery bikes like being fried in the sun. It’s a bit steep, didn’t cross my mind I’d need a handbrake, couldn’t find it, hopefully it still be upright when I get back to it Way too hot for a cup of tea. Nice icey drink and a view of the Brizzle channel and the Severn crossing. Now just need to waste enough time that theres no point starting on varnishing, question is will there be enough charge for that?

I survived the attack with only a penknife. I stabbed my mate in the leg then ran away while it was eating him.

Mr Slowlys decided to join me for late lunch. This means it’ll be too late for varnishing

In your case it would be sock with sandal.

Talking about that the bloody hotel room i was staying in last week had a place to hang your clothes behind the door and what is screwed to the floor right where i walk to get my cloths every morning the bloody door stop i lost count how many times i stubbed my toes on it so the last time i went down the van got a screwdriver and took it off lol

socks with sandals ....

I live with 3 boisterous, slightly clumsy people, steel toe caps indoors are the minimum necessary

I laughed my head off at a mate of mine who's a proper fashion Nazi when I saw him wearing socks n sandals, he would have crucified anyone else doing it but he protested so much about the comfort level of socks and sandals I tried it and blow me down he was right it is very comfortable. But I only wear sandals when its exceptionally hot or they're the strappy heeled variety and socks don't happen in either of those scenarios You wanna let your feet be happy in socks n sandals rock on. I get it- oddly enough due to a fashion Nazi!

My travels are taking me north again. . Tonight and tomorrow I am camped at yet another beautiful lake, tucked into the forest for shade from the warm weather. I am excited as the weather people are calling for a crazy summer storm tonight with thunder and lightening, which will break the heat hopefully. I love summer storms! Then on Sunday I hit the road and start getting back into the mountains.

Pics … and if they are Crocs your going to hell .

The caravan is a definite plus, grizzly bears view tent campers as pre packed food. I got uncomfortably close to a grizzly once and it very quickly makes you realise just how fragile life is.

No i'm the 1.5 its a polite way of calling me fat

It was recently brought to my attention that people still feel that wearing socks with sandals is an odd thing. Never understood this, I figure whatever is comfortable can not be wrong.....or is it just me?

so your saying you've had it for a couple of months and only now we are seeing photos of it, you'd rather talk about sewage works than post pictures of your new bike I have to say i do like it

Don’t know Pete but I’ve never ridden anything that felt so light. It feels lighter than my 115kg 125.

Ha there’s no parking brake! Wot an oversight! Apparently there’s some sort of mod you can do but most people bungee the front brake. Harley fucked that up a bit ay! Some guy said he got off and turned back to look at the bike rolling backwards down the road!! You don’t expect to pay top dollar and have to carry a brake lever bungee with you do you?! Mind you what a wally not checking his bike was secure before waking away

First there are no English muffins now London broil isnt from london, humans are weird.

"Love the socks with sandals, bring'n sexy back for sure!"

You left out the option: My socks are my sandles, yes i buy in bulk. Why do you ask...on the bright side they get holes and thrown out before i need to sort them in the wash And i still call sandles thongs, yes im very old school.

Oh yes....good point, don't run around in the thunder & lighting trying to get a photo....

Fair enough mate well I think I'll do brands for the next track day so I'll let you know and maybe you can come along

clive can off fuck

Happy belated birthday Clive

He's desperately hoping to one day bump in to Clive for that promised rendezvous

More van action you people …. @Slowlycatchymonkey this is a pic of the beginning of van action there will be various other pics through out the trip … just sayin

Thanks for that but that’s too bulky for me to bother with. These grippy Velcro strips are good for holding the brake on, flat small. Usueful for lots of things. I’ve actually got one on each leg at the moment holding my flowery trews inside my boot https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0746LNW8M?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

Me neither but it’s a thing. Doesn’t roll forward so easily but back oh yeah. I’ll just have to remember to leave the back wheel wedged against the kerb of whatever I can find.

Not been at home to ride it and when I got back had to work a lot to make up for gallivanting!

Never thought about it rolling off the stand because you cant put it in gear

They ain’t crocs

No words needed… I bet @XTreme has a pair

Same thing happened to me once only just got away

How could you miss out BBQ? My go-to cooking method!

That one of the things putting me off if honest. Rather go in the week.

Blokes who wear sandals are trying to tell us something, and don't get me started on bloody flip flops

The brown ones need special education skills to handle properly....yet, when you get one to sit and roll over so you can scratch their nipples its worth the effort.

I wear Birkenstocks all the time and like them better with socks. More comfy around the house than full shoes....and I can still go outside in a flash!

Thanks, I appreciate that not many people have time for such things. Just the thought that you will try is nice.... I would tell you my plans but then that would be a spoiler for the 1.5 people on here that are following along.....

My sister is getting married tomorrow and I'm the best man, therefore I will be sweating my nuts off in a suit for the first hour and then getting pissed with the groom

Sanding more fucking doors. When will this end?

They like their leaders delusional or demented as opposed to the UKs preference for clown shaped.

You know you are Number 1!!!! My biggest fan for sure......

Am I the 1 or the .5?

Oh yes, going North that is a concern. They are very active right now as well. I have lived around Black Bears for years and they are not what I worry about. The grizzly bears are another matter, I will do my best not to get eaten... I have seen a few bears on my journey so far, but never too close for comfort.

Well that video more or less proves my point. That was 4 years ago, I doubt if I could do that now

That's how I roll I was waiting for someone to mention that. Funny how that really gets some people, who the hell made that rule anyway, who ever it was could not have been Canadian. Toes get cold, sandals are comfy, end of story...
