Mind you I plan on doing some admin shit tomorrow morning and so the old mountain bike may be dragged from its slumber in the garage and battered along the dirt tracks. Might even take some GoPro footage for your amusement as you hear me breathing like an overweight rapist.

I’d love to get another dirt bike mate but seriously, I think it’ll be a while yet. We always knew when we moved out here that there would be a shortfall between my private pension and the UK state pension. To be fair, a second bike is the only sacrifice we have to make so I can’t complain. I think I’ll stick with the old Fazer for a while yet and make the most of my mountain bike for exploring off road……….when it cools down a bit.

Pissing it down and cooler here today (15c) Still can't find my fleece.

Another hot week coming up......and tomorrow is a Public Holiday here! That makes very little difference to anything really.......except they can officially do fuck all.

Shouldn’t be a problem given my lack of skill

Gay

I’ve just realised they must of based Zoolander partly on him. Zoolander (sequinned merman model) gives up modelling and goes back to his dad and brothers to work in the coal mines. He arrives they take the piss and reject him and off he toddles So I googled it and yes it is part based on him. It also threw up these gems, link at bottom. In 'Pedigree of Champions' - Adrian Street reflects on his life & times (IN ALL CAPS), including the following claim: AN UNEXPECTED BONUS CAME OUT OF MY DESIGNING FABULOUS COSTUMES, AS I ALSO BEGAN TO DESIGN CLOTHES FOR “CARNABY CAVERN” IN LONDON’S CARNABY STREET AND “GRANNY TAKES A TRIP” IN KINGS ROAD, CHELSEA. MANY OF MY CREATIONS HAVE BEEN WORN BY STARS LIKE MARK BOLAN, DAVID BOWIE, ADAM ANT, GARY GLITTER AND ELTON JOHN JUST TO NAME A FEW. ‘Glitter, Glam Rock, and a Forearm Smash’ is an appreciation of Adrian Street at the UK Wrestling Heritage site. Witness Adrian Street the recording artist performing such songs as Sweet Transvestite with a Broken Nose, Sadist in Sequins, Breakin’ Bones and Imagine What I Could Do to You. See him discussing his ‘gay’ performing persona in an interview. https://www.metafilter.com/156029/Adrian-Street-Sadist-in-Sequins

Happy belated Birthday @busabeast Had mine recently too.

Hi mate it was a really good day out, and it coincided with my 38th birthday

May 2025 so not long. If things go well, I might even be divorced by then so I can spend it all on me.

Be even better if you can bin it as well Ray!

@XTreme and his two sisters back in Swansea.

Same here Pete………lazy sods

Beautiful weather here.

Yup raining here … fucking weather

In work and it's pissing down with rain again .............

It'll have one somewhere, make and fit another will rule a fault with the original out. Forget that you're already on it.

Here you go, and before you start they ain’t burnt, they’re meant to be like that…….just like Ghandi’s flip flops

I’m in Radiology at the BRI , @XTreme would you like me to book you a hernia scan

If your in no hurry Clive, tell me what you want and i will make something up for you and post it

well that's ok then i will have them with my curry and rice

No-one needs stuff rotting in them for that long.

Happy birthday , may you live to be 100 and the seed of your loin lay deep in your women for many a year

Thanks Clive, happy belated birthday to you too mate

It was @Six30

You know who you are.

Just staying off the bike at the moment that’s all, aircon working overtime during the day so we have a couple of cool rooms to take refuge in when needed.

Kind of, his dad still doesn’t look too amused and the other pit guys have enough material to keep them going for years!

Great photo of him and his Dad outside the pit

Good obituary!

Fires in Hawaii, how come the buildings have been destroyed but the trees are OK. https://beforeitsnews.com/opinion-conservative/2023/08/actual-footage-of-a-directed-energy-attack-like-what-was-used-in-maui-hawaii-jim-crenshaw-must-video-3669977.html

The wife is away in a rock festival somewhere this weekend the boy is getting his end away on the isle of man again for two weeks and the daughter is never around so i'm on my own again. Not planned much other than cleaning the marmite wagons interior and maybe having a look at some of the advisories it had on the MOT back in January LOL It's just dawned on me the wife left this morning and is not back until Sunday and i haven't a fucking clue where she's gone for the weekend all i know its something to do with music and its in the UK

So for a while now the Japs have been nowhere is MotoGP, what is going on ? The Ducati's remain dominant and on Sunday at Silverstone three out of the top five riders were on Aprilia's . The best finish for a Jap bike was Franco Morbidelli in 14th place Suzuki have pulled out all together, I suspect because they realised the European bikes were so dominant. The Honda's are unrideable with two ex world champions crashing out again and the Yamaha's are no faster than my mates Fazer 900. No presence in Moto GP usually equates to no more technology filtering down to the bikes we ride so is that it for the Japs ? Will we soon all be riding bikes from the likes of Ducati, Aprilia, KTM and Gas Gas ?
