Thanks for all your good wishes Folks..Pat and i had 10 good years...we thought we were 18 again for a while....loads of holidays almost spent my fortune on them,,,good job i didn't, i now need every penny paying for care type help.. so if you lot have any dosh: spend it or when the time comes paying your taxes means sod all..they will take the lot. Who ever is in power.

I have one of those Honda thingies Pete. The duff foot never got any better so i went for a DCT..got the X-ADV Off road scoot. Goes ok and i get on with it ok now.. I also have arthur-rite-us in the fingers..makes a ride out hard work..but it aint the end of the world..getting the time to ride is: Good luck with the specialist visit Skyrider. OW! still have the milling machines and Lathe to play with..

Share a YouTube channel you like and why. One per post or else it could get out of hand. Properly enjoy Sarah's channel, real quality interesting work as opposed to some of the click baity crap out there. She was a USAF engineer before You tube so has great attention to detail in her projects.

if it comes to it that i get shoulder replacements im hoping that i will be as good as new probably with titanium and plastic shoulders , my mates will be calling me a cyborg or terminator anyway we will find out on thursday

Do you think it’ll affect your motorcycling?

Colin Furze, he’s done some pretty mental things but this might be the craziest. I’m suprised he didn’t chop his own legs off

Had that Op 2 years ago, lifting Pat out of bed to the bath i felt a nasty pain, the NHS as good as it has been with my Cancer treatment X4. had no place for me in the Hernia Q, told me 4 years.. I ended up paying to have it done, best 4.5K i have ever spent. Then Pats lad Tony fell from the back of a loaned truck onto the Towbar ball and smashed his hip..NHS would not replace it until he was over 60, he is 46. So muggins paid to have that done:::15.6K...at least he speaks to me now I still get a twitch close to the bollocks even now Pete with the Hernia..so take care...get a lighter Bike i say.

Made by a local artist , there is another on the other side proclaiming 'Bath 8 miles' and a bench with a big man blowing a horn in the middle. From what I can see it has f*ck all to do with the railway/cycle path

I'll tell you a story about that. Around 2000 the wife fancied riding a bike so I got her a little 125. We did it properly.....she went to a training school. Then she failed her CBT and kept going back and they told her she still wasn't ready. So I got involved and we took the 125 to the old campground in Carmarthen so I could see her riding. And she was awful.....totally abysmal, no natural ability, and a danger to herself. I had to tell her to forget it because it wasn't going to end well. Then in 2005 I got a DT175 for the boys to have a good at riding offroad. The eldest one who was 17 then (now in Madrid) was exactly like his mother.......no ability or coordination. So I told him forget it! By contrast, the youngest one who was 14 (he's the one in NL now) was a fucking natural. He was belting round offroad with me following him on a mate's field bike......he was even drifting the back end without even knowing how he was doing it. Incredible natural ability......but unfortunately he was just going way beyond his level of experience. Till he binned it heavily! He was OK.....just winded, but it just put him off and he never rode again. Then I got on it, pulled a massive wheelie up a wet bank and binned it again, landing on my face! This time bending the handlebars like a banana. And those two things put him off forever. But it shows that ability is inherited......you've either got it or you haven't.

I get 20 mins this time each night as the carers pop in to get Pat ready for bed, Not a chance they could put her to bed this time of night thou...Coror is on...even i am not that brave.MND or not...

Another channel that I look at occasionally. I love the quote in this episode that Joe Walsh has said that the scariest day in his life was the day that Keith Moon decided that he liked him!

I quite like Mustie1 as well. Don't watch everything he does but I love his make do and mend attitude and the fact that he sees life in stuff other people through away. Clever and industrious chap.

Most of my viewing these days are French biking channels. Firstly to work on my French and secondly to scope out any interesting places over here.

Unlike someone we know!

None that I specifically watch really. I just click on whatever interests me!

I had to wait 9 months......but they did a good job! And I got a lighter bike......195 kilos! You take it easy there Lyn......and drop in more often. We're all old and fucked up here so you're in good company!

I had to stop watching after 3 minutes, it was making me cringe .............

I don’t like the second option, I would say keep it running for the chaos but I’m not stating in any official way my posts are total shit

@Buckster would

I have been watching alot of touring channels lately, watched alot about Dragon 2023 I suppose because this years was so close.

I liked the ones where a group of them took some classic Dakar bikes to Dakar! Excellent!

Bet nice to have Harrys money and have a car/bike cave like his. I enjoy his euro trips especially the one to the artic in the old Shadow.

@Marcel and his trimmer to aisle 6 please!

Yep, had to do a double-take!

The retirement is going well then

On Saturday Paolo and I walked another section of the old Midland Railway line . lovely weather for February and we even stopped for a sausage bap and a coffee in the old Warmley station

I hate steel sheds The assembly instruction that came with the shed made Ikeas assembly instructions seem like plain English.

Sounds like you are busier than a cucumber in a women's prison

Good news to some.

Later on this week the site makes it's final trip......from Detroit to Atlanta. The site is massive 83GB and in total there's about 400GB to be transferred from one server to another. The migration team will be told to leave this site till last, but it's still going to take many hours to copy. Then there's the nameserver switch which will result in propagation delays for those of you on shit ISP's! I would estimate between 6 to 8 hours offline! So I'm giving you the choice! Turn it offline, or leave it running and lose a few posts? Make the call!

An invisible bus that no one else saw, because it wasn’t there.

and im off to see an orthopedic guy on the 15th as i have been told that i have osteo arthritis in both shoulders so we will see what he is thinking of doing about it

It's you.

Ambition exceeded ability. Trust me, I know this.

Fair enough, I guess these days generally if you've ridden on you've kinda ridden them all sort of thing as these days there aren't really any bad bikes apart from the Chinese stuff that's coming through but one day even the Chinese crap will be decent. Yeah it is needed that to survive biking you need to have some kind of natural ability its not really something that can be taught you either have it or you don't. I think its only gixxer riders that run out of natural ability these days

The bikes then were all very different from each other......not so much today. He had zero natural ability......which is something that you really need to have. Of course, natural ability can also get you killed when you don't know your own limitations.

Yes, I laughed out loud when he said that! The cam timing was out from when the bike had a top-end rebuild by a bike shop! I think that someone mentions which bike shop in the comments.
