Come to Spain they said … it’s blowing a fucking hurricane near on

My mate used to own a garage and he used to get asked quite regular if they could take the car and pay for the work he had done next week, his go to reply was go to Tesco's fill your trolley then ask at the till if you can pay next week my answer will be the same LOL

So today I went for a walk with Paolo, nothing excting only a couple of miles. The river had been up at least 6 foot as there were chalky silt deposits all along the banks, luckily we stuck to the parts where the path was tarmaced. Anyway, my back feels better now, I reckon the walking has loosened it up. Next stage is to try to ride into work on Monday on one of the bikes

I had a nice ride out, rode over to South Lanarkshire then through the borders before heading back to the city, weather is great.

In the gay parade in Benidorm!

Somewhere Pete recommended no doubt.

OK @boboneleg @Sir Fallsalot @Catteeclan @yen_powell In the vid you see David Byron and Ken Hensley lip syncing the vocals. Byron did actually sing his part, but Ken Hensley didn't sing his! The story behind it is that Byron couldn't sing that particular section......it wasn't within his vocal range. Hensley couldn't do it either. So they got Mark Clarke from Colosseum in to do it! And the irony is that Mark Clarke wasn't even the lead singer of Colosseum!

Send this to your mate

Near Torrevieja .. found a good bar near where we are staying to watch footy though

Where else would a bare bummed barbequer rather be?

Looks like Hurricane Gammon to me!

Yeh......Byron couldn't sing it! In fact Mark Clarke did tour with them for a few months in 72 because him and Ken Hensley were good friends, but he didn't want to join them as a member. They weren't really on the same level of musical ability as Colosseum!

No it’s not .. weather meant to cheer up tomorrow

That's just sneaky LOL i read that on line but was just trying to match their old faces with their younger selves. My google rating has just been dropped from expert to amateur LOL

It’s a tough gig.

Im going to go to Tescos tomorrow , fill my trolley up with £300 of food and when I get to the till im going to bid them, then £40

Ideal for Pete then.

Look at this fucking idiot , it’s up for £2995

No, couldn’t be arsed, too busy enjoying the ride.

Yer. Tomoz ok then after that very good. Where are you?

Not out yet but even with the mixed reviews I'm still going to watch this when it's released. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21454134/https://www.indiewire.com/criticism/movies/the-bikeriders-review-jeff-nichols-1234901518/

In-between riding and washing bikes today i done a job on the dog I've been meaning to do for years. The side stand sits horizontal and when riding through deep ruts with rocks in it gets pushed against the swing arm, you can see the piece of plastic i cable tied on there to protect the swing arm in the photo below and also the wear on the foot of the side stand where its been dragging on rocks. I ground the side stand stop until the stand moved above the swing arm out of the way like it is on dirt bikes and shortened the spring a little and blowing up my induction heater in the process i think i will replace it with a better one as it's really handy. While i was at it i welded a disc to the foot of the side stand to stop it sinking in soft ground something i had done in the past but had to cut it off when i found out it was hitting the swing arm and then applied a nice lick of paint to finish it off.

Ha ha well spotted Bob…….none of the gear and clearly no idea

@Six30 just in case you think this gammon has fallen too far from the tree, this is my current fridge situation. See not all hope is lost.

I've been having a run on the bikes today not far just enough to warm them up, the old Africa Twin is running lovely and smooth again i wanted to just keep going on it but no tax or MOT made me head for home after a few miles. I was having a problem starting the dog and started dreading the thought of having to clean the carb on this as well, the usual procedure is full choke press starter it fires then ease the choke off, i tried everything choke on off and it was just churning over no sign of it firing. then i remembered it sometimes needs the fuel drained from the carb when its been left a while, so drained the carb and sure enough after a bit more churning it fired up. Took it for a little ride after washing it to dry it all out and as i pulled up to the house it suddenly dawned on me that i have a fitted a flat slide carb to this bike and the choke is now on the carb the choke lever on the handlebar is no longer connected to anything what a fucking plonker it's because the original choke setup is the same as the Africa Twins which i had been messing about with for the last couple of days. Just the XR to run now that hasn't been started for a month

I always do the family barby on holiday … more than welcome if your local

ark at the original knuckle dragging gammon twat...

Miss Jumentous must have been late 50’s early 60’s but and smell didn’t put off the 30ish year old man she was with.. any of your offspring in Bristol Pete?

It’s not one of your ex’s is it

The flights not full, I’m away from jumentous woman, RESULT!

At last you share the good stuff, took your time and I see it was Skippy that tipped you over into usefulness

I don't like that fuel tank and the way it sits on the frame and what the fuck are they doing with the colour looks like the designers are still arguing over whether it should be brown black white or green damn ugly bike something i would have been interested in if it hadn't fallen out the ugly tree

I put on loads of weight so I rang weight watchers and said “ help this is an emergency can you send somebody round … yes we can they said we got loads of them

Look about 15 … @Bucksteris 1/2 mile behind , chasing em , ( can’t keep up ) looking to bum em
