Sometimes it's better not to know. I would never stop her but it gives me the yips

Neither of us are Harley owners so that sort of deviant activity doesn't happen.

I'm back......and @Skippy is on the way home. No bike disasters (he's on a Yam not a Kwak this time) and he didn't break his jacket. Got bloody warm as the day went on......up to 26c here! Ride Report to follow!

in the family we've had 7 renaults, but the last one saw me crossing the counter and pinning the workshop manager up against the wall whilst threatening to trash the place and then burn the car on the forcourt. so, yeah.... never again a Renault.

Very silly dog, too

I know that feeling.

Depends if he’s just ‘out’ or ‘out out’? For those that don’t know the difference then you need to Google Micky Flanagan.

Had a gentle run on the XR today, out with a lad testing his bike out for a trip to Morocco later this year. we covered all the terrain he could encounter on his trip except warm and dry but he's an expert in wet muddy and cold now though He was close to loosing it exiting this puddle One big f off old sweet chestnut tree Damn disappointed i didn't get the whole tree in here, oh well i'll just have to go back there for a ride again.

She has been bleddy well been at it again. Oh and for my blood pressure I have to stop fussing as she only fell off twice. Or so she tells me. FFS. And this is the one that wants a bike. Laughed at the boy today, he went to the pictures with his mates and rode home in the rain and dark He comes in ranting “What the actual fuck, how are you supposed to see” I explained to slow down and try and look away when you’re being dazzled. He thought I was a dick for laughing and saying that rain and dark are part of biking and you just have to deal with it.

How’s your arse?

I remember when one of my mates got a CX500 when they first came out, it looked huge at the time! I laugh when I see them, as they look tiny now!

A moment in today’s short walk, he is not good for very long walks anymore.

A few pictures. It was really busy so it was difficult getting good pictures, I actually went for a specific purpose and I didn't have enough time to see everything. They had a classic show in the Lowland Hall but it was ramming in their so I only had a quick look, apparently "classic" now means anyone's winter bike as the majority were crap. I was hoping to get a new leather jacket but the vendors were selling tat. I did however get ear moulds done and will have custom ear plugs in a few weeks time. Not keen on the current KTM offerings, they are too mainstream now. A few from the classics and custom. One for Six's van, it sure as shit shouldn't be out in the open. A Busa that isn't owned by a feckless pussy. I liked the CCM's Some chinky shite for Pete, either this Moto Morini or a Benelli. Shame to see those names on these things. Harley Davidson were there of course. There were sad twats getting a stationary test ride. Here is a bike leaning further than Pete has ever managed without falling off. i quite liked this customised Triumph Scrambler. I spoke to the designer, he was a knobend. He didn't like getting told he was a knobend but there you go, I still like the bike.

sorted

No specific breed. I found him when out on the XR in the woods when he was 3 or 4 weeks old. The jaw means that there’s some Pitbull or something like that in him, and he is a little terrie in behaviour, but no breed.

In the woods together then? What you make of this @Skippy?

those things don't have brakes

oh good chaps (no pun intended )

My bike´s got a big spirit, all others seem tiny next to it

except for the renault 1.9 dci. which is renown for being an absolute peice of shit with top end lubrication problems and HUUUUUUGE oil consumption. Renault consider 1 litre of oil per 1000km to be " within tolerance" and " Normal for modern engines. F. T. S.!

Now at 8900km, they’re looking like this: plenty of life left but a couple of days ago they were not the ideal tire to navigate through 10km of gridlock traffic in Porto’s wet motorway after dark. They’re proving to be a sound tire if you want a proper mixed use tire for a big bike.

We are laughing

I'm off to Almeria!

Happy Sunday Hope you all have a lovely chilled out Sunday. I might take an hour or maybe two off today cos I’m worn out, then again eyes on the prize

I didn't want curry, can't stand the stuff. You wanted curry and chips. When the 'CHIP SHOP' said they had run out of chips and offered you mash with curry I thought you were going to explode, like he'd suggested riding through a muddy puddle.

The curry and mash thing goes back to around 2004 when me and Yen went in a cafe in Carmarthen, We wanted curry......but they had no rice or chips to go with it! So they offered us curry and mash instead!

This recording is quite old now but a beautiful piece of music ...................

Nice shots! Though why you had to spend half the report talking about me I have no idea!

Apparently it's a 10 year old Cob called Blackberry, that's all I know. I never go near the bloody things, does not stop them sending me photos to worry about though Tis a daughter mother thing

That the BMW GSA of horses that is!

A mate bought a Commando Interstate in 72......it seemed massive back then. Stand one alongside @Pedro's bike now and it would look like a Grom.

I see long nosed staff too.

That’s because she fixed it.

That is a stunning piece, haven't just sat and listened to it for years. I know what I am going to be listening to on my shift tonight

Costa is a lovely looking dog, is he a specific breed or just a happy mix.

Our neighbours dog at the moment. ......glad I can't hear it, it gets on my wife's nerves.

Spending the day with Costa, early morning drive to the forest and walk. Then breakfast and now watching a little tv. His favourite person is away for a while and I’m the next best thing. Also the weather is iffy, don’t feel like going out on the bike at all, yesterday was enough.

Or mudguards which they need judging by the amount of shit she has up her back.

Exactly, the sidecar suited the bike perfectly.

Sorry, not mick, Mike Crack.

What an unpleasant image I now have in my head. Probably going to have nightmares. Thanks for that.

Once, a long time ago, when he had a friend that wasn't virtual.

What goes through the mind of parents when they choose names like that?

I vowed never to have another Renault.......but what is the Dacia?.........a Renault.
