Bought it , Rally going in p/x

Got out on the bike early this morning before it gets too hot forecast says it could hit 17 deg C today i was out at 07:00 and home by 10:30 Anywho the real reason was to see how my arm would cope on the bike as i haven't ridden it since it started hurting. It was a little foggy at home when i set off so naturally i headed up to my mountain to see if it was clear up there and it was. i wont be surprised if Pete calls photo shop here saying that's not fog it should be black as its coal dust Headed over to one of the hills in the above photo to see if it i could get better shots but it was much the same These are looking into the Cynon valley And this is looking into the Merthyr valley from the same spot I took a few photos on the rock which i shall bore you with. It's a place i used to play and climb as a kid we call it the gap some call it the giants bite but its the gap end of This is below where i took the above photo Looking through the gap You can just make out the radio mast on the left of the hill in the background which is where i took the first two photos Since i was here again i decided to test my lights in the tunnel since repositioning them. They are pretty good the photo makes them better than they are in real life Someone has a sense of humour LOL Headed home from here but wanted to check out a road on the way back I've been talking with the council about getting re opened, I last rode this over 15 years ago cant remember it being this bad though, most of it is relatively easy this is where it starts getting hard, i got off the bike and walked it for the next 200 yards as underneath all the brambles is loose slippery rock and its down hill which the photos don't show well. Its going to need some lane maintenance before its ready to ride and yes this was a road you could drive your car along years ago. Tree was a little low to ride under This old road is only about a mile from my house so it was home from here the arm was ok it didn't hurt anymore riding the bike over rough terrain then it does when i'm sat on the sofa so that's one good thing i suppose.

Probably gave up when he noticed his fans had cotton wool in their ears.

Yes but it's a Honda

Have you considered a trailer ?

You are going to get bummed for certain.

the pic of bike on top of the cliff..... botm with out a doubt

by not falling off them you mean

You keep selling your cut and shut Fiesta's and I'll take care of the bikes ...........

Red, with some black mold. Also someone spray painted 'Free Wales' on the side about 20 years ago ...............

Yes it is, Pete, keep it below 70% humidity and all of that is gone.

Fuck me he must of been desperate to get out of what you bought

When you're riding that lane you're too fecked to take photos

Lazy twat can't start a thread......so I've had to do it for him again. And yes.....I call Photoshop!

Superb photos Fred , any one of those could win BOTM I'm a bit jealous as my arm won't allow me to ride at the moment. Glad it worked out for you

And the what 3 words app for when he falls off in some deserted woods somewhere

I have some bits to stick on and a rally next weekend so will get something done.

Not surprised if he could see twats in the crowd with cotton wool hanging out their ears

I think that he was probably taking the piss!

And the colour of the brick in the house third from the end of the road is...

I'll see how I get on with it first, the jury is still out on whether I continue trail-riding . If you're talking about London Rd I only have one this to say..................... NO FUCKING CHANCE

£3500 , happy with that as a p/x . I don't have to face Mr Knobber now by selling it privately

Most air con units can be used as dehumidifiers to a certain extent and they don't only cool things down they can be used to heat rooms as well and they can be more efficient at heating than a normal plug in electric heater.

Great photos. Looks like you had a good ride. Nothing like looking at other peoples ride pics whilst sat on your arse to make you feel very lazy.. I'll just sit that feeling out, wouldn't want to do anything hasty like get up and do stuff

Unless you have some cheap ass chinese aircon read the instructions and you'll see thats exactly what it does. edit - scratch that, give the instructions to your wife

Isn’t it usually in the air

You should try living here Pete…….scorchio and humidio

The Earwig lived up to its name this morning.. ....hope it ain't laid a 100 eggs

Isn't that how it's pronounced

Off to Albox!

Nice bit in a newsletter (for the UK). Bike thefts are falling, something we can all raise a glass to, down 2.6% on last year in January-May. And the recovery rate is soaring, with nearly 6000 of just over 9200 bikes recovered (though not necessarily in pristine condition).

My missus would be down there with a straw to help with the clean up.

was going to ask if it was a good gig .... but how would you know when you couldn't hear them .

What are you wittering on about.

This is at the bottom of our road this morning!

Walking is an option if you have a pair of legs. ️️️️️️

Just got back from Brighton. Brothers new baby (for a 7 week old) is genuinely really cute. Had a good time but knackered so I think no decorating for me this weekend, just a visit to the crown decorating centre to get even MORE paint One new baby. and one delightful baby

We once rode it as part of a South Wales TRF run uo to Rhayader and that gully was like that then. We had some dudes from up north with us and they hated it

Yes turn left where the black track ends can go all the way to Merthyr if you want to but very overgrown plod been clamping down i think, i haven't done it this year i just went down to mountain ash and onto ynysybwl

If you ride up the hill behind your bike (over the old slag heap) can you still get out ? ie is there still a route through there ? I haven't been up there for years but Paul used to take us up that way.

No mate, none whatsoever. We keep the house well ventilated during winter, windows open and doors too to let plenty of fresh air in. Night time we make sure the log burner is on. Seems to work well.

Nice one Bob Now you have a lighter bike i have the ideal road for you to try it out on LOL

And now they reckon they haven’t got the technology to do it again
