Very good thanks, today is a bit slow though..............

Stopped for a drink ….look what plonked itself down ….

What are crocs, asking for another friend.................................

Have you noticed anything that the relentless march of time has affected you negatively? I wrote out my itinerary for our trip to the UK in September and am now struggling to read what I wrote! My handwriting has never been great, but it's degenerated to the point where even I can't read it anymore!

Laid in bed this morn thinking about moving my toolbox in the passage to get a bike out for Matlock. Toolbox didn't move and neither did I.

I think so, all the people who have had bad cases of 'Covid' that I've talked to were all heavily vaxxed, tripled up as they say in NZ, the vax is the pandemic and as it contains monkey DNA as well the MonkeyPox is also caused by it. Interestingly the first symptom of MonkeyPox is a pounding sensation in your arse. Ask a HD rider to be sure.

The Livewire was so much fun yesterday I woke up thinking about it and decided as Sunday is please yourself day -not that sort @Tym and it was early enough to be cool I decided to go over the Mendips and get some breakfast. Mr Slowly said he’d come with and picked his steed for the day, honestly in the sunshine there was only one choice. We stopped for fuel, well Mr Slowly did. The Livewire powered up while we slept so I opened the garage door to a ready to roll bike. Here it is quietly fuelling itself up. I sat patiently at the petrol station while the pump had a malfunction and spewed petrol all over the low rider. There was a convivial air about and another biker complained he’d misjudged his photo bomb timing, could he have another go? A group of hardy Kutte wearing mean faced men arrived but couldn’t have been nicer as I dashed through their entrance to get to the blue roll, didnt try to take their pic Im not that stupid BTW I love those blue Spada gloves on the pillion seat of the Livewire but they wont stop shedding dye, I have Smurf hands every time I wear them We head across the Mendips, its a beautiful temperature across there, definitely the place to go when its hot. Mr Slowly said I wont be able to keep up with you on that, I say cors you will (the low rider is 1800cc) but he was right, the instant power delivery on the Livewire and throwability is something else. Fortunately our current escapades have arrived us in a comfortable riding together style- set the destination and ride how you feel, so you wanna go for it then do it, see you there! I arrive and attempt a selfie of me being happy with my new steed, I may enter it into the ‘crap bike shot of the year’ competition, though Bucksters wheelie bin fetish will probably outdo me A man in a posh Range Rover gave me his day parking ticket (result cos bikes can only park in the designated bike bay and thats not in the shade) and so I wait a bit, then a bit more and a bit more, then I start worrying. Just as I open the ‘stalk my family’ app (aka find my friends- Ive opened this app twice in my life) I hear the satisfying rumble of a Harley pulling in. We head to a cafe in Shepton Mallet called the Cheeky Bean cafe but Shepton Mallet isnt interested in being open, the whole place seems shut. This charming well reviewed cafe has decided they dont want to work today either. “a little days holiday” hmph! The Market Cross in the centre of Shepton Mallet I find somewhere open.. barely, it opened yesterday and despite being the only customers they’re not ready for customers. Ok breakfast, not great but they all looked pretty hungover so have to cut them some slack Shepton Mallet is an ancient place and as with the architecture theres an air about the people that are from another era. Theres no reason for anyone to move there and you get the feeling like you do in some West Country places they’re a different breed. For you South West riders- saw this on a boarded up shop, might be worth a look. Breakfast done, temperature rising, time to head home.. except I remember @bobonelegs pics of the outside of Shepton Mallet Prison. Im definitely going to have a look before I leave…

Well one doesnt like to get pulled into childish squabbles………… but thats pretty thick gravel and there are no track marks in it, are you sure it was wheeled out of the van and this isnt just another 2005 photoshop special?

Other than the eyesight I've noticed i cant stand up from a sitting position without making a noise now

Ah !!! so that's why your jeans are full of holes ......................

This is the style …

I noticed my penis has doubled in size every 10 years,so things are looking up with age.

My vision for sure! To read instructions for medicines I need a magnifying glass along with my normal glasses.

Damn you Metropolitan Liberal Elite!

Went down the boulangerie for bread, coffee and chocolatine. Got chatting with a brit who's lived in France for over 40 years. He lives in a different region but is in the village on holiday. Owns a Goldwing 1500 and a tractor. Interesting who you can bump into whilst out-and-about. Booked flights for our return to blighty for a wedding at the beginning of September, but it's going to be a quick visit. I was going to drive up, but when we costed it all up it was significantly cheaper to fly! The rest of the afternoon will be sofa time!

I heard that the vaccine was a targeted retro virus designed to attack the genetically undesirable and enhance the genetically superior. Basically a death sentence for gingers and anyone under six foot tall.

Encouraging masturbation on the lords day going to hell in a handbasket you are.

Most folk only see ‘ooh look its a womany thing on a bike’ and dont see the bike at all! Had a bit of fun with some MANLY bikers on the way back.. oh no beaten by a girl boohoo I dont stop to mention Im a middling rider on a superior bike .. oh no I just bathe in the temporary glory

Mines been pretty rampant all through my life to be honest

Same

If you mean other than eyesight, hearing, arthritis and obesity…. nope, not a thing

No vid , video yourself is for twats

Aaw dont you all look lovely. This’ll sound weird but here goes anyway- the sort of people that if you find yourself on your own and suddenly in need of a hand you look around you and think “them, I’ll ask them, they look decent, they’ll know where theres a garage/hotel/preist”

All looking very dapper Bob!

My mistake, thought it was at Snetterton this weekend, but it's at Thruxton,

Might as well just pleasure yourself then.

I wouldn't want to meet the annoying cunt either Clive!

It's in your locality, go there, nearer, and (from yesterday's TV coverage) not so busy.

Now thinking I should of gone as Mandi wants to go shopping for window blinds. Witch didn't mention that yesterday. Doesn't she know BSBs on.

This is how im going to power it.

Baby steps, so far still no headlights, no reverse lights, and no brakes, butt, she starts everytime and has sound now....

That's how the ride was advertised on the TRF group page, great i thought i can put some miles on the old Africa Twin as the MOT ran up on the CRF last weekend. The meeting point was in Caerphilly McDonalds car park for 09.30 leaving at 10.00. 14 had put their names down as going and 20 turned up so we split into two groups, one group of 11 and ours with 9, we all left together and headed up the Llanbradach bypass, 20 bikes in a group most travelling at over 100mph is not what i call a gentle ride and reminded me why i don't like to ride in groups the poor old girl hadn't seen that end of the rev counter in a long time, The two groups split off at nelson and we headed for Penderyn with Laurie as our leader for the first stretch, it was a bit chaotic overtaking slow traffic and we had a William Watch me Wheelie with us who was riding erratic and pulling wheelies wherever he could in built up areas and generally showing off like a fucking child he had two followers acting the same way and was constantly overtaking Laurie disappearing into the distance and then waiting for us to catch up, Before we left I suggested going up the Cynon valley to avoid the congestion on the heads of the valleys only to find the roundabout closed at Hirwaun and we had to detour back to the heads of the valleys to find no congestion oops LOL at this point William Wheelie and his mates took off never to be seen again they didnt know the route and shot past the turning no loss there so now we were 6 which is a nicer group to ride in. Laurie kept us on our toes for the next few hours as we rode the scenic route via Ystradfellte, Devils elbow, Heol Senni, Old Trecastle rd, Llangadog to Llandovery at quite a brisk pace, as we arrived at Llandovery the other group were just leaving and we arrange to meet at the view point looking over Llyn Brianne reservoir for a sandwhich Stopped here for a breather just past Ystradfellte and to chat about where the 3 dicks went and who they were as no one had seen or ridden with them before Mark on his new Dessert X lovely bike Cant remember these guys names KTM thingy and some other insignificant Ducati lol Chris and Laurie on his Vstrom And of course my old girl with Chris's Tiger From Llandovery Mark took the lead and we headed for Llyn Brianne, again the pace was quick and had me thinking we were getting a bit too excited and need to slow down a little, i travel this road regular but not normally this quick and came to what looked like the brow of a hill and then remembered the road went right the brow was to a side road off it, i was going too fast to slow down so took the side road and saw Mark and the guy on the KTM had done the same and turned right at the bottom back onto the road we should have been on, the others were a bit behind us and i thought id better turn around to make sure they didn't carry on down the side road, when i got there they were pulling Chris and his Tiger out of the hedgerow Chris was ok luckily but was a bit dazed and was talking gibberish for a while but after an hour was feeling much better, I took this looking towards the side road You can see his skid at the top it ends there because the guy behind him said his tyres left the road there the skid starts again where he landed further down it don't look it in the photo but this is a steep drop off Impact was between the two bikes he went in sideways off the grass this side the bike wasn't so good bent the forks sideways and bent the front wheel spindle there was no phone reception to call for recovery so we got the bike to a pub just down the road and left it there Chris went home on the back of KTM guy and Multistrada guy decided to call it a day as he was right behind Chris as he went over the brow into the hedge Laurie is holding the handlebars straight in this photo. Took these at the pub while waiting for Chris to recover Mark, Laurie and myself decided to carry on the but cut the route short we were going to devils bridge but decided to ride through Abergwesyn pass to Beaulah, Garth and up over the Army training ranges the pace hadn't changed. We left Mark after an ice cream in Talybont on Usk and came back over Llangynidr mountain to Beaufort where me and Laurie went our separate ways i ended up riding over Eglwysilan mountain as usual Look at this Beauty the old girl still got it lol

Hi Bucky was down at the chemist today and saw your holiday snaps.

+1

+2

Yep. Incoming shortly!

Does flatulence increase with age?......asking for a friend!

Soz tried deleting the last two repeated pics more than once. It wont let me!

Looking like when Hannibal was hiding in Italy, Bob. In a good way, he's a stylish dude!

The other thing is that I find I don't like change now.......whereas when when I was younger I was looking for new things all the time.

Bit rude

Hot out and I'm still weak as fuck......so going nowhere!

Happy Sunday Hope theres lots of pleasing yourself on the day of rest!

Looks like Portishead to me .........................

Just keep a brick in your pocket.

Mardarse.

That led to this
