BOTM will be here shortly, get those pictures taken. It’s going to be epic! Remember the picture must be taken this month, no garage or driveway shots you losers, landscape shots only (turn your phone on its side you retard). Extra points will be given for including a nice bin in the shot or if you must, some scenery. One picture per person, no swapping pictures if you get a better one during the course of the show and tell, overt photoshopping or other faking will result in your entry being removed and will not be able to take part for this month. Enhancements with filters is okay as is a little bit of touching up (ooooeeerrr missus). Piss taking will be mandatory except in the case of my entry which you will all love unconditionally. Moderator decisions are final, this is not a meritocracy or a democracy (Google it). Finally, have fun, don’t take yourself too seriously and remember, the earth is square.

Update (unlikely to be able to reply cos I got no phone charger). Wasn’t looking forward to swapping the batteries cos while Mr Slowlys bike battery is easily removed the Himalayans is a right royal pain in the wotnot requiring seat removal and a very long screwdriver to lever it out from above whilst wriggling it back n forth from the side. I do not carry a long screwdriver around so had to make do with the too short spanner I had. Cue much frustrated fecking about.. and then I eventually discover… his battery is also flat After some confused conversations it transpires because electricity now costs so much they won’t charge anything unless you specifically ask and pay €10! FFS a heads up would have been nice. Am in hotel 10 mins down the road while it charges overnight. If I return tomorrow and it’s still crapped out I’ll hire a car, go home and start the annoying business of buying yet another battery. The only English speaking channel on the TV is constant real life murder documentaries, it’s highly educational, at this rate I’ll be able to give Buck a run for his money I’ve had a delightful dinner from an expensive vending machine because there’s no room service, pah! Who books two doubles?! Bog standard hotel bathroom but at least they supply a toothbrush and toothpaste. Nice view from the balcony. To the right you look out to sea but that was too dark for the camera to photograph. Any suggestions for a supplier in Spain who would have a high turnover of quality batteries?

Christ, what you been eating?

and he died in a toilet, what can we learn from this?

I was looking forward to the abandoned villages and meeting his midget friends …. Feel let down now ,

Yeah me and six got to setting the wheels in motion and pete kyboshed it, something about midgets in Holland and some deep heat..... Proper deviant shit by sounds of it

We don't want pics of whatever action is going on in your van thank you ...............

Oh bog off bike basher

Exactly Bob a photo of a smelly boot which i'm not convinced is smelly because of the damp and not a single bike photo even Six will provide a photo of his bike in the van

You really need to visit a Honda dealer you know! @Saul.......tell her what the Honda lifestyle is like after enduring all that Indian crap! @yen_powell will jump at that shit!

Driving - it's about 1,200 miles to Chicago and then another 250 or so down to Indy. But I'll finally get some good pizza!

Did I mention no pictures in or next to vans?

Well i can here @Six30 moaning like feck already ..............

I'm wondering when our resident Welsh/Dago person is going to get a photo of one of the DBM's , they must be a damned sight quicker than him ..............

Bins are great, we should probably do Bin of the month as well, gravel traps should show the bike on its side with additional kudos for blood and/or protruding bone.

I was just about to say that!

He should have used the crap strap

For the future use disconnect one of the battery terminals don't matter which one if the battery is good it will stay charged for months without the parasitic drain on it

i was adding another 300er on top of that or are the midget bummers free ?

we said next year now, when your recovered ...unless you break a nail or get a headache

Probably right , or he thinks I’ll turn his town into niagra falls

Maybe he's worried we would have found out the real truth and outed him as the deviant he really is

Riding in July in Spain for a start! Me going to NL for my boys wedding, and also not knowing when I'll be getting surgery. You're welcome to come over and see how it goes......but I won't be on the bike in temps of 40c.

How about this.

My Indian crap dealer was also my Honda dealer. I actually quite liked my Indian crap, but I do prefer the Honda

thats you and the Buck that is

there will be van action, dont worry

If it fits in the gap and the terminals are the right way it wont matter for you to get out for the day

Chicago pizza beats the shit outta pizza in Italy. Actually, they're nothing alike at all. Post up some pictures of a pizza when you get there and I'll do the same.

OMG !! well safe journey but I'll call you out on the pizza as I'll be in Napoli (Italy) in three weeks time, the home of real pizza.

and the cafe’s shut. and my boots went into my panniers wet (had no choice at the time) and are now MMOOOOUULLLLLDEEEE! They smell great

Heading to Chicago for some pizza and then to Indy for some beers. Nice little trip.

It’s about 13c here so I’ve been walking with my shorts on

He never enters! Mainly because his bikes never go anywhere except in the van!

So what your saying is we will have to look at Bucksters Harley on the front page for ever or until he's dethroned

No photos of gravel traps or bins as well, you know who you are ...............

It's not always convenient to post from hospital.

If i could shit brass everyday i wouldn't have to work for a living LOL £3.20 a kilo at the moment

Wilkinsons near work , I get the dogs treats from there … but you have to walk the pic and mix …. handful of strawberry Bon bons every time .

I’ve eyed up some cracking bins for the photo. But there’s a big warning sign saying no parking and a large fine of you do so we’ll see how risk averse I’m feeling later

That was just friendly encouragement.

Followed a couple of 2026-ish test mules up the mountain today. Things were going slow as shit during cold weather / altitude testing. What a boring job that has to be . No idea what kind / make of cars they are...

And.. relax
