There'll be a German somewhere who would probably pay top dollar.

It just doesn't get cold in Salobrena but I'll bear it in mind the next time I want to heat the ceiling I did put some socks on in January but can confirm this wasn't topped with sandals

Is that related to Pete?

well I set off to go see the Lac des Settons empty but was turned back by the weather. grey sky and just spitting when I set off at about 13h30. I'd planned a 4h round trip using only minor roads. I'd got about an hour in when the odd spot of rain tuened into what my mother would call "mizzle" I was pleasantly dry and warm in my gear and being alons had no qualms about riding slowly along some very greasy back lanes. The wind started getting up from the south west and the temperature started, if anything to increase somewhat. We had the first of the automn storms about a week ago and evidence of this was all over the road in places. I found one spot with a tree down across the road and had to box round it. The wind was really getting up and the rain coming down harder. It stopped being fun after coming round a corner and finding a dead branch across the road very obviously very recently come down, I decided to pull the plug and turned for avallon and fuel before heading home. coming into Avallon the back way i'd run ahead of the rain but bu the time I'd fuelled it was catching me up again so I headed North and a bit East to stay in front of the weather and ride some back roads I havent done before. I got home after 2 hours out having done about 130 km. I tried a panoramic of that shot but can't decide which I prefer

Well at least we now know where you are when you're not on here eh fred

Marcels next wife.

That's a standard thing when riding in a group allows you to see past the bike in front of you and keep a tight group safely instead of having a long strung out line comes naturally not predetermined but having no friends you wouldn't know that

Picture taken just now: Still worked on it's last test run, have got a cassette with a couple of old mission impossible and macgyver episodes that works like a charm. A charm with a little bit of interference, but a charm

Selectively ..................... Yes, that explains everything. What a fuckin ignorant dumbass

and the tree's are starting to go rusty around us now

Beautiful landscape, more green than your usual scenery.

I see some bird on this only fans thing made about 100k selling jars of her piss i don't think Yens under crackers will have the same appeal

sorry, moveable floorboard in a boat. A floor in a boat is something else entirely.

its easy enough to plan an afternoons ride with todays technology Pedro, even for a self confessed technophobe like me. I plan routes on the laptop and then transfer them to the phoe for navigation. I often do this of an evening when I'm bored, that way when the fancy takes me, its all ready in the phone and I just hit GO

And a biro to respool the bastid things?!

The Moot Hall. If you absolutely need to have a moot, then this is the place to have one. You can moot away and no one will think badly of you, as long as you clean up after yourself. Model boating lake according to the map and looks like one man is about to have a go. He'd be better of just having a moot instead. B

Stolen goods. My childhood was quite an education.

allo allo...

What a voice Graham Bonnet had back then.......all he can do now is shout!

Still got a record deck but not quite as old as that one.

I haven't been here since my son was small. All I recall is that the fish and chip shop was famous for its quality and we had been told to try it if we ever went there. Unfortunately the rest of East Anglia also wanted some. The queue was hundreds of yards long, it actually crossed side streets. Once we had queued for 45 minutes, I was all for giving up, but my other half insisted that we keep going. Eventually we got inside and bought our fish and chips. I'll give them their due, they had customers stretching to the next county but they had not put their prices up or taken on extra staff, they just got on with it like they were unpopular. Once we had our hard won food we walked through the alley to the beach to eat them. That was when I discovered that people would come up to you and offer to buy them off you for double the normal cost rather then join the queue. I refused a few offers and scoffed the lot.

Yen knows how it’s done , so I shan’t be doing what you are asking ,…

Most of you seem incapable of stepping up to the plate and delivering Ride Reports of a standard befitting an elite establishment like this. You need to understand that a couple of pics of you languishing in a tent in a fucking field are not exactly the stuff that dreams are made of! It doesn't put bums on seats and it doesn't attract new members! But this sort of shit does....... Great conditions.......temps early 20's! All rural location, and I can confirm that no other bike I've had is better suited to this type of stuff than the CB. Abandoned cave houses built into the hillside. As much as I love abandoned shit I draw the line if it involves walking or climbing. This one's interesting......built into a vertical rock face. View across the valley.... You blowhards can only dream of doing shit like this....... Now doesn't all this inspire you Casuals to get off your fucking asses?

Beautiful shots! We could really use some of that rain here, way too dry for October.

I was escorted to a cashpoint in Spain once. Here they'll do that to foreigners too, or impound the vehicle and leave you to walk home. My dad was once stopped by a swarm of spaniard motorcycle officers, pretty angry they had to catch up to him. They couldn't come up with a reply as to how he was supposed to know they were following if they were firstly hiding by the speed trap and then so far behind he couldn't see them

it is. green and damp, depite what the doom and gloom sayers might say. just atarting to turn yellow round the edges though.

Anything old is big business now! Got to be an opening for @yen_powell to make a killing on his pants surely? Especially if somebody is looking for a collection of 80's clinker and skidmarks!

Wow, it's looking very green ...............

Still waiting for a nice ride report from you, show Yen how it's done!

great pics yen. was that Snape maltings you visited? that burnt down in the autumn of '87 (?) i know this because i was working as a volonteer bosun fro the Ocean Youth Club refitting one of their yachts in Fox's marina Ipswich. We used to sail a lot with the essex county fire brigade an their head honcho at the time, Roger Paramour, was a regular relief skipper on the boat. That night we were all sleeping on the boat in the yard, Roger Paramour, "Smudger" Smith ( essex fire brigade no3 man and breathing apparatus specialist) and about 8 other firemen. around 2 in the morning their bloody beepers started going off all over the place, they leapt out of their bunks, forgetting that we'd removed all the sole boards to re varnish them.... it took them a good 10 minutes to extricate everybody from the bilges... when Roger's pager ( remember them?) went off, smudger said it must be a big one cos they only do that when all the pumps in the area are out. I found out a couple of days later that it was Snape Maltings that went up.

I’m not really into vacuums, but thanks for sharing.

Hello, are you a real person

This is dangerous shit so you ballsacks just stick to going to the seaside for an Ice Cream! As always I was going in alone......with no idea of what I was going to encounter! If shit goes down in these places there's no phone signal and nobody to turn to! So if any of you ever have the bottle to show up over here you better grow a pair first! The vid tells the story...... And here's a few pics so you get a general overview! A general overview of places you'd never have the testicular fortitude to visit on your own it has to be said! The bike's looking good and going great! Now let's take a stroll around......try not to shit your pants! Yen excluded obviously......that would be a bridge too far. This is the main access through it....... Unfortunately, virtually everything's sealed up or blocked! Some buildings are still standing...... While others are collapsing.... Then it was back on the bike and a return to civilisation. Or what passes for civilisation here! Fuelled up when I got back......cost me €12.50 for two weekends of motorcycling. So it has to be doing 85+mpg which is amazing because I haven't exactly ridden gently! It's just an amazing bike......it may not appear to be much, but it's a lot better than the spec sheet suggests! And the way things stand at the moment, bearing in mind where I live and what I need from a bike, I don't see anything else out there that's a better fit for me.

Just popped out to avoid Pete.

No clue … I fell asleep after the 5th picture

I was asked to do a 3D drawing of a street a few years ago by the woman in charge of us at the time. I reminded her that although she promised to refund me my money if I paid for it and did a course in my own time back in 2004, she had gone back on her word when I asked for the repayment. I said seeing as I had paid for the course and done it in my own time she would have to pay me as a consultant if she wanted it done. She changed her mind.

That was about 25 years ago not today. I had sandwiches today, I learnt my lesson.

I took a picture of a front door just off the beach because I noticed they were ready for a flood. The Martello tower was surprise, I never saw that last time I was there.

NOW, this is a benchmark on one end of the Moot Hall. Used when measuring levels/surveying. The Ordnance Survey used to place them on public buildings, bridges, retaining walls, police stations, anywhere they thought was unlikely to change. I put a 50p in it for some of the pictures, that is how we used to use them. You extend your measuring staff and place the foot of it on the sticking out coin. The height of the bench mark will be shown on the large scale OS plan, or you can get it from a reference book. Your telescope is set up on a tripod somewhere close by and it is carefully levelled using the two bubbles and two adjusters. Because it is level now, wherever you look the cross hairs will point at stuff at the same height above sea level. By reading the number on the measuring staff and adding it to the benchmark height you get the height of your telescope. Now where ever you put the staff on the ground, you look through the telescope and read the measurement where the cross hairs are, to the nearest millimetre. Subtract the height of the telescope from the reading on the staff and you have the ground level. The last picture is a sign in a built in seat at the other end of the Moot Hall.

So you'll be getting your Gammon Licence then?

Your going to post last year’s photos then

Earliest one I could find.
