Made it home today. Yesterday we had a lovely evening back in Portugal, and today rode to my parent’s place using mostly small roads. The absence of cameras was a shock, but we got used to it. I hope there were no cameras, too. I will look at making a ride report but I’ve got hundreds of pictures, mostly from bikes in museums, so it may take a while. Good trip, though, and we did end in a high which is always great because it dictates the mood with which you look back on it.

Raining here all night.... but the little tree frogs that hang out under my house, seem to be liking it. When that rare tropical storm came in from the Pacific that hit the LA area last month....it headed NE & missed Portland, but dumped 6" of H2O in 36 hrs. here in Elgin ....surprisingly, it didn't cause any flooding or damage....it was so dry from August's heat blast, the ground just soaked it all up!

Boat going out tonight

Car insurance renewal was almost double, the best I have found on shopping around is still £40 more than last year. Current insurer couldn’t match it but still got their quote down by another £30, I guess a lot of people just accept it and pay. I’m glad I don’t have some high insurance group piece of crap like a Jag sat on my driveway, renewal price on things like that must be horrendous.

If it arrives with a beard and tits it could well be mine

Road back from Vianden once , it pissed down all the way back ..was even raining when we got off train back in uk …. I think that was the worse day of my life .

The wind chill when soaked is pretty bad but the worse bit is all your gear still being wet the next day. Not a barrel of laughs.

Some folk just like to grit their teeth and go for it don’t they. Pit themselves against the conditions. Suffer with a bit of that myself, it’s stupid but you do it anyway When I had a wee ride in a storm (I’ll never do it again) I was on a much heavier, lower bike and luggage weight was low down, I still abandoned the insanity half way across Bodmin moor as ‘death or hotel?’ is quite an easy game choice

So did I

I thought she hated you?

I can’t stand Red Bull

My oversize tank turned up tonight which was a surprise as it said the delivery date was the 5th of October, all i need now is a bike to fit it on

It's the red bull model.... fucking blind

A can of red bull

You needed a nice van.

I did it countless times when I worked as a bike courier in 2012, it wasn't nice but some of the conditions I rode in were verging on suicidal

Busy as fuck! Doing the Violin site now one of my existing clients wants an e-commerce site!

Yebbut you could claim on insurance and by a nice chinky bike

And nothing worse than everything including yourself getting soaked … no fun

Quadlock inserted itself as an advert in a youtube short I was watching (how do they know these things?!) and it was showing a natty little mount that screws into the cover, a clever solution for those short on bar space. https://www.quadlockcase.co.uk/products/motorcycle-brake-reservoir-mount?variant=42696740798639

no ..no he wouldn't ..

I would and yes I am.... nuff said

I'd ride, we'll be having to change your name to Six30#2 I think

Well when we asked her at the weekend if she wanted a little brother or sister she said she did and was really excited about it so we will see

They are upside down houses built into the hill. You living area upstairs bedrooms and stuff downstairs.

I have never tasted RedBull, quite proud of that!

WR250X (super Moto) converted to R spec (trail)

Do you wake up with a song in your head ? I used to write down a list at one time. In one year I woke up to this in my head at least four times . That was seriously disturbing ...................

Rally up for sale now. Could you pass it on wherever you can Fred ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/155794346408?hash=item24461111a8:g:x4sAAOSw31VlEY5q&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwEXKol%2BaWMNNH84cgF%2FFYtk69MDKgugH3c2K7mT%2BdpXKmFieTl9CR%2FbQA%2BAd7joO0arDEQRMSOQdEVInw0m0m2QeFX9%2FFp2ceL4l6pO85%2F7L9IWy3T%2BcD3NeFoNawzemL6hCQFoMjurED8zWONYdcUICpGXnU5ubfoeDoQ7eWCxMfA3AGRdeC1dH%2B1HOLJsN02jfOfp8Xx%2BRQu1HXMY6k67ZADc9ke8cXY3QqhgT73QVZsKqE7X0KXsbmyvWiJFB4w%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR4SWl6jaYg

How the f@@k is this my ear worm today

Another Chinky! .........yeh I would have another CFMoto But i would only get (at best) about £700 for my Daelim from insurance Co.

Fuckmine, they reckon the 80's was the decade that fashion forgot. Obviously the 60's was the decade where all the fasion desingners were away with the fairies

It is pricey but it’s one of the better solutions I’ve seen. Assuming the reservoir housing is up to having a carbuncle attached and high speed winds applied I suppose the worse that could happen is it’s not and you need a new reservoir, the reviews are positive though. If I get one I’ll probably go for Peak design cos although they’re more expensive than quadlock (£80 for the mount ) the case is a slim, normal width one and its MagSafe compatible. Taking a case on and off to charge it is never gonna to happen.

I thought about getting one as my CB's bars are quite congested, tis a bit spendy though at £55 plus shipping.

Universal adaptor arrived today......but I haven't had time to sort out another phone yet!

You’d ride in gale force winds when the RAC are advising people not to drive let alone ride? Madman.

Well its definitely not Fred's

is it yours ?

i do mine, not cause i will be riding in shitty weather or salty roads but because of condensation in the garage over winter

Thanks Caroline, yeah though we haven't told her just yet but she has a midwife appointment tomorrow morning so the plan is to tell her the end of the week

If all goes well yes, 9 weeks in so far so still very early days

Lol, eat your heart out @XTreme. We just had a customer come in and give us these as we fixed her starter motor problem foc a while back. We didn’t have to go to Baza for them

Every time I’ve been to Cornwall and rented a place that’s been the way round it’s been, bedrooms downstairs. I like that, probably a simple animal thing to burrow down to sleep

no....no i have not
