I only realised this morning that no-one as going to ring me for help this weekend. fucking brilliant, a real weight off the shoulders.

having spent a week NOT scrabbling around in filthy bilges, NOT trying to calm down dissapointed clients, NOT doing field repairs, NOT pulling berges around and NOT trying to organise everybody else, you'll probably NOT be surprised to know that this weekend I have NO back pain, NO swollen painful knees, NO swollen fingers or toes and nobody is relying on me to answer the phone and sort out their problems. I am therefore going to make a second attempt at the Lac des settons this afternoon.

I was out a few hours......weather early 20's so it was not a case of having to run for cover as I've been doing since May. There was a bit of a wind though, but not enough to cause any issues. You'll see the road surfaces continually changing as I switch from province to province so you've got to be alert all the time. And you have to be very careful with any surfaces that have been recently repaired......sometimes it's a two foot trench hidden underneath a bit of soft tar! Came across some abandoned shit but I didn't go too far inside as it was full of decomposing livestock......and fucking stinking! So here you are......this isn't the sort of stuff the Harley boys could handle obviously. But I'm sure they're well aware of their limitations! Some green shit growing in the field! No idea what it is.....I'm not big on green shit! Pretty barren out here......no phone signal either, so not a good place to bring an unreliable bike! But I'm OK......I have a Honda! Then came across this wreckage! Fucking bad smell here! Most of you Pussies would be puking your guts up at this point! Back on the road again....... More abandoned shit...... By this point I'd left Murcia and I was in Almeria...... Eventually crossing back up into Granada again! Couldn't have done this two years ago when we were locked into our areas! So a nice run out......and the bike continues to be fucking brilliant. @boboneleg understands when I say that it doesn't seem to look much on paper, and it's the same when you see one up close. It appears to be a generic UJM with a bit of Adv styling to boost sales......but the reality is that it's a whole lot more than that. You'd have to ride one to see what I mean! Everything just works so well together! If I wanted to nitpick I'd say the suspension is a bit basic and a little bit more power wouldn't go amiss. But the reality is that I can compensate for those minor things......you just have to bear in mind the allround package that you actually get. For not a lot of money it has to be said! It all comes down to getting the right bike at the right time! And at last I've got it right.

Haha that gin must of been a bit strong. I’ve just woken up on the sofa and was about to post “Happy Sunday”

I'm going to go round my sons to take out the grand kids.

every where looks the same .... not a patch on the welsh country side

He’s from Swansea Pedro so he’s going to think most things look nice

Buckster doing an impression of a rock …

Bit strong, thought you liked the bike.

For anyone that don't get this they have said there maybe blackouts here this winter due to gas shortages i cant wait to see people try to panic buy electricity

I'm off out Styling and Profiling!

I don’t mind the colours apart from the grey with lurid blue but you can’t fix that pig with lipstick.

It's Dark Motorcycling Pedro.....you can't introduce "nice" into that scenario.

Not smelling badly, not totally derelict, maybe a cafe on one of the stops, a place where people stop and think: “this is nice” or “this is nice, I might come back” instead of “this smells like sewage, oh look, a decomposing dog!”

I think it's really ugly! And when you consider that I've owned 3 Stroms that's really saying something.

Sore arse ?

So basically the mange of online sellers? Perfect for Pete then.

Brilliant news! Amazing the effect of not doing a lot of shitty things can have on your health

I find red haired women sexy! Are they ginger? It won't change my fancy, but just wondering ... Also, although my hair was always dark brown, my beard is slightly red depending on sunlight and season

Found a nice lake the other day so I hope to go for a paddle tomorrow. I’m also working on a new video and enjoying the unseasonably warm weather we are having. Have a good weekend everyone.

yeh Ecstasy with the Pat Tate and the Essex boys

some needs to smash Bens face in.

Photos of speedos......that's conclusive for sure!

So you say Marcel! But of course you could be one of those internet bullshitters who claims to have been everywhere, seen everything, and done everything! And then can't produce a shred of evidence to verify it. Forgot their camera or phone is the usual excuse! I'm not saying you are......but that kind does exist! Tell him @Tym

And the colour coordination on them is pretty weird too.

I've only ever seen one on the road.....it's a lot bigger than what it seems in pics! And a lot uglier too.

Yer theres something odd about that blocky body and the front wheel. It somehow looks disjointed.

No.....the Tracer has a 17" front wheel and I want 19". Apart from that, the styling of it looks weird to me! And the T700 is just too offroad focussed.

Just curious. If you’re a Yam man didn’t they have anything that floated your boat?

You never stop anywhere nice, do you?

No.....I'm a Yamaha man! But you've got to give credit where it's due!

Obviously you have been to wrapped up in your Harley duties to see what goes on around you i'll let someone else explain

He's checking out DMB's again

Should have got a nice Tour Pak.

Ahh a nice smiley face to cheer me up

Looking good Michelle. Not jelly at all!

That description probably applies to a few on here?

I’ve twigged what I find irritating about this guys voice…

@Slowlycatchymonkey and @Six30 will you two get a room

It will probably just be a CB750x and nothing even close to what the transalp was

My brother had brown hair (when he was younger) but his beard was mostly ginger....never been a problem for me because when I tried to grow a beard I just end up with a bit of growth on my jaw.....I ended up looking like Shaggy out of Scooby Doo so I shaved it off.

Which pair though

In the balance I reckon. This is what he took......

So would half the population of the UK if they bothered to test everyone LOL
