It does? I never heard that one before it doesn't feel like a monkey humping a football, maybe a monkey strapped to a cruise missile

Fuck i wasn't expecting a sensible answer

You get loads of likes , I get called a van wanker … mr fucking popular.

Morning all, should have got the Camo Himalayan, would be invisible by that bush

It might be Mr Slowly as that's their neck of the woods. What you say @Slowlycatchymonkey ??

Will do in the future, I am new remember

Extreme porn

So it's first clean just finished but I didn't get to detail it as it started raining just as I'd finished drying it.... There were a few bugs and some road grime on my beak so it needed cleaning I just didn't get around to polishing it due to the poxy rain, but once cleaned there's not a huge amount to do till its nice and shiny All dried and back in the stable ready to use for work in the morning

Thanks for that, it’s in my head now you cunt!

I'm not sure what this is supposed to represent? Actually ice has a greater volume than water, so you'll notice that the level has dropped slightly after it melts. Anyway, fill the jug to the same level with water, and we'll call this the oceans, ok? Now go to your freezer (which we'll call Antarctica) and grab a good handful of ice cubes and drop them into the beaker (oceans) and then see what happens to the water level in the beaker (oceans). I'll give you a clue, it's called the Archimedes principle. Eureka!

Ahh but is it better than a CB500x that is the question

Luckily I have you on ignore and can't see this.

They say that the camera never lies, but she was painfully slow and seemed to only know how to use 2 gears on her bike. But, fair play to her, she must be in her 70's and she completed the ride on a non-ebike!

Yesterday's ride with the group and I was riding my non-ebike. There were some pretty slow riders in the group, so the average speed was pretty pitiful! Still, a few hills made sure that it was a decent workout.

Yeah I'd say your sewing machine would struggle to register a figure

I’ve seen the pics, unless the gimp suits knocks off quite a few pounds I’d say he’s possibly innocent on this one

Spect you pack to go on holiday or go on jollies. Most of the population does, it all involves packing and travelling. Just once I’ve properly unpacked here that’s it for the year, everything wanted or needed is in place. Extricating yourself from your home life and keeping everything running smoothly is complicated. It’ll be worth it in the long run. Some things worth having don’t immediately bear fruit, they require putting in the time and doing the work. This is one of those things. I’ve already booked the tickets back out here

Damn right

Your leisurely half retirement sounds like you’re trying for a stewardess lifestyle

Best way to get hold of Chris is to phone/text his mobile. I think that website is well old. @yen_powell rode down to him to get his Super Tenere sorted

Almost stops you being a homo, almost.

Yer. The tailbag clicks on and off easily, doesn’t obstruct the panniers being opened. It’s easy to remove your valuables and comes with a strap so you can put it over your shoulder, then your hands are free for taking pics… if you take ride pics..

I'd be tempted to bypass the dynast stuff just to see what happens with the snatchy throttle. Might be that the last owner had it set up for performance.

Needs a clean and polish though

So just got the beast out of the stable and under the rear seat is A power commander 5 and auto tune module and the box for the transontranslogic quick shifter. Looking at the exhaust it would seem to be a full yoshimura stainless system So I'm going to hazard a guess its not quite as standard as I thought it was, but the modifications are in good taste I think be interested to see if the airbox mod and sports airfilter have been installed too

Lost me at "fill the jug"

No chance. Haven’t finished unpacking n setting everything up and Mr Slowly leaves tomorrow, then I leave the next day. So I have to unpack.. and pack

Lets see some ride reports instead of walk reports then

Going to be a pleasant 23 degrees today.. with a ‘feels like’ of 27

Not too bad here, cloudy but dry, keep seeing fleeting glimpses of the sun.

Cheers. It has worked really well. It’s my only transport over here so I needed a good boot sized capacity so I can do a large shop or bungee something big on the back. With the luggage combos available I don’t need a car and can get that extra pack of beer It was excellent on the boiling hot ferry vehicle deck too. Just unclipped it and walked away. Still think it looks a bit of a state though

You’re dandy Marcel. Pretty entertaining. As Pete always says it’s the intention that matters and your posts never have any malice in them, saul goodman

Very nice Rich, I know a man that can help you with that fuelling

I've spent all day preparing for some van action. I had a go at fitting the Beta in the marmite wagon and it fits with room to spare just have to strap the front end down 2 inches to get it in That was the quick part the rest of the day i made a frame to hold the bike in place with some old ply and fencing timber i had kicking about Ok now i need to get on a ride there's one in Dolgellau in a few weeks waiting to see if its full now

Too late now I've seen it i cant un see it, even with my glasses on

Could we rename yours the barge captain

What about Bollockhead

your going to have to change your name again because with my poor eyesight when i read who clicked like, i could have sworn it said bumabeast

I welcome another van boy

That woman in red is going quick...looks like the speed of light almost

Here's an example.

Ooooooooh just what you want, a hair trigger for a throttle

I feel your pain. The first thing I did when I got mine was to take it to Symtek Racing and have a full four-into-one race system fitted, a TRE installed and an air box modification. Mental as anything. It was a stupid thing to do to an already ballistic bike………and it made me love it more.

Took the boys down to the natural spring at Fuencaliente....25C and we were the only ones there! Jake was bombing round on his little bike......he's already more competent than me offroad!
