Anyway, all you guys who can go out on rides for a few hours, a day or for a weekend......Good for you!

You need to go over and show her how it's done!

So here’s a radical thought. Instead of changing your bike, why don’t you take the money you would have to spend on getting a new one, and use it to ride your bike somewhere you’ve always wanted to go. So here’s a radical thought. Instead of changing your bike, why don’t you take the money you would have to spend on getting a new one, and use it to ride your bike somewhere you’ve always wanted to go. Of course, it would involve several nights away, loads of beer, excess stupidity and hookers. On second thoughts, you’re probably better off buying a new bike.

Putting rubbish in the wrong coloured wheely bin.

A shag ?

Just finished my new wheel spacers for the dog turned these Into these

I have a significant birthday this year, so I will be 65 years old on 13th of May. I won’t be buying a new bike and I won’t have to go through any devious shenanigans either. Instead, I am spending six days with three mates from the UK, who are going to meet me in Zaragoza on the 24th of May. We will spend six days arsing around on motorbikes, reminiscing about our youth, but more importantly, making new memories. No change of bike needed.

Thanks Clive......you gave me some bullets to fire! I just dropped into the conversation with the wife that your mrs may pressure you to get rid of the scoot cos she can't see the point of having it. She really got worked up about it, and said to tell you to say that she needs to sell her wheelchair cos you can't see the point of her having it. And that a wife has no right to compel her husband to do things they don't want to do! I agreed of course.......saying it would be like me telling you to get rid of the horses. I thought better of adding....."and you telling me I can't change the bike". That would be moving too quick! But the seed has been planted!

Fuckmine @Clive , you live life on the edge ..............

But it's going to be a long buildup process and I need to choose my time carefully. Because I've been thinking about the Milestone (or some may say Tombstone) that awaits me in a month's time! You see, I was the teenager that people said would never live to reach the age of 20 due to my (perceived) status as an erratic and risk taking motorcyclist. Well I reached 20 just fine despite hitting the deck about 20 times! In my twenties I had the same thing, but not on such a grand scale because by then I was leaving a margin for error. Not a wide one admittedly, but a margin nonetheless. And I only hit the deck once......unfortunately it was at 110mph. But I got up as I always did! Time went on and I reached my 30's.....then my 40's, 50's, and 60's. And I'm still here and still doing it, and never hit the deck since 1978! Now I'm staring down the barrel of my 70's! So I want to build up this age milestone in the conscious of the wife (who just about tolerates motorcycles)......in order to make a special occasion of it! And what better way to mark this occasion than putting a deal together? However, she has over 40 years experience of dealing with me bullshitting, deflecting, manipulating.......and at times, just outright lying! So it's going to be a tough nut to crack. Basically I've got to try and work it to the point that she suggests it.....not me! Then I suppose I'll sort of grudgingly agree! Just to keep her happy you understand? Watch this space!

Well you have got to get the use out of that new fanny you had fitted.

busy day for @Renegade

He couldn’t hack it, anyway, he’s not allowed to go out overnight on his own.

On remand then?

So here’s a radical thought. Instead of changing your bike, why don’t you take the money you would have to spend on getting a new one and use it for a hair transplant or an upmarket rug?

None of your business you nosey cunt

It must be, I mean, you wouldn’t put that much effort into getting a motorbike would you?

On the edge! of getting yet another bollocking.....my nerves are in tatters.

And get my 2nd bollocking of the day!....

And it's Easter weekend with the clocks going forward! Easter weekend always makes me think of following the Transatlantic Series around in the 70's......I normally did Mallory and/or Oulton. Good times......not a care in the world and no responsibilities back then! Unlike now! No hope of bringing on back the good times these days! Look at this shit! So I'm sidelined......what about you?

Does that mean he can really go and fuck himself

True she is taking it to extremes, as is some Mericans want, but if it gives my little maid confidence with her 125 it's worth the effort.

Yeah I could see that being Motorcycle Riders 'Boaty McBoat Face' moment

I'm torn between Sofia's and Bob's, I like the trees in Bob's picture but you can clearly see the photography expertise behind Sofia's camera crew. I think the bike looks nice on what is a pretty cool bit of road. I sense a lack of love for the big GS though, even though I washed it

You've made more comebacks than the Bay City Rollers FFS!

Says a Cockney! Nailed it Fred! As if spending 6 days with a bunch of fucking Cockneys is a better choice than getting a new bike!

No Invite for Pete then

no im happy with my entry , thanks

Need to know basis Pedro! Inevitably.....at some point......there will be a Poll!

Might close this at around 18:00 today, if that’s ok with people. Is anyone out for a ride that might take pictures? or @Six30, you need a little more time to finish your final drawing?

Working tonight and Sunday. Sunday during the day I am going to watch rugby, the King of Prussia pub raises a team to play our team Lankelly-Fowey. Always a bleddy laugh. I played in 25 of them over the years 12 for Lankelly and 13 for Kings. The Kings is usually old boys from Lankelly and a few ringers. One year we had two Saffers and a chap from London Nigerians RFC turn out for the Kings.

A Triumph, tell her it’s made in England

Nah, he was another bike before he is too old to enjoy it. Don't blame him it's why I bought mine.

But what was the prize?....oh yeh

If you're one of those people sat in your car in the big queues approaching Dover and you voted for Brexit this is the amount of sympathy I have for you ...............

On this glorious Easter weekend I will be painting doors bugger all else to do.

It has ¼ of a tank in it at the moment, we're going to be having him in Sunderland Royal as that's where we had skye so going back to where we know. Also the other hospitals around here are the same distance away from us. We're just hoping that he waits until my mum comes up on the 15th April as we won't have anyone to look after skye until she's here

why did you always keep your lid on ?

We are again preparing the house for the boys arrival anytime from Monday up to the due date on the 22nd April so if I have any ideas of getting out for a ride it won't be a long one

That is just @busabeast’s car, traded a broken one for a different broken one.
