Was out Riding earlier today....up Cemetary rd. & back down to Indian Cr. rd. & was surprised to find an Airplane parked in the middle of the road.... turns out that the pilot was on his way to TX from Seattle...& had some mechanical malfunctions of some type...had to make an emergency landing. He brought the plane down safely, avoiding any power lines....tbh- he picked a good spot to land it as that road has minimal traffic & is close to Hwy 82 @ the south edge of Elgin. Definitely not something we see everyday around here....

I think you will find it's British like, shit weather isn't exclusive to England and is probably much worse in Scotland and Wales

Well I survived the night in my van despite the storm , I actually slept like a log . Drinking from 17.00 until midnight probably helped My mate Tony turns 60 on Wednesday so we all drowned our sorrows with him ..............

She's running! Torquier and faster than before, smoother than before, shifts better than before. Just brought her home!

It is , indeed. Home of the Ohio State Penitentiary and also the Mid-Ohio Road Course for AMA Superbikes, Indy Cars, etc, But a shithole, nonetheless.

In Zanesville, Ohio now and they also have English weather here today. Haven't seen Sun since I left Colorado last Tuesday.

The weather here is still shit; about 4C and rainy. But back home they're getting about 15" of snow. So I have that to look forward to upon my arrival home later this week.

I'll still be in my tent in February at the Dragon Rally , no vans allowed

Pete never wanted this place to be like that.

Congrats Pedro....great to see that you've got your steed back.

Maybe we should start a poll on how long until it shits the bed again?

Nope, got a four season bag and a woolly hat

We are approaching end of November, last chance to win a Bike Of The Month vote in 2024 limited to just one month as December will be extra tough, being mixed with the Bike Of The Year. It'll be of such magnitude that we risk rattling the fabric of motorcycle communities worldwide!!! Don't worry about that before you need to, though. For now, just submit your pictures for November Bike Of The Month, as always: - one picture, your bike - picture taken on a ride, this month - horizontal picture, landscape (Just for Marcel: your phone needs to be laid down when you take the picture) Feel free to submit more than one picture, I will consider the last one you post. This will close on evening of the 28th, at some undisclosed time which will be after dinner for me. We will then start the vote poll which will last until the evening of the 30th.

To @Buckster, yes, this shit again!

I may get to do the brakes on the car tomorrow...says 9c and sunshine, i will do the discs and pads 1st, see how I get on with them, then do the rear drums if I have time. As i said, it will have to go into the workshop for the anti roll bar rubbers and oil and filter change.

What you doing? I got the weekend off so I am actually having a normal weekend for once. I was supposed to go to a Gig down at St Ives last night to see Kimber's Men but the Mrs ain't to good so cried off, my eldest daughter couldn't be bribed with Rattler, for once, son working and Shadow up her boyfriends. So I didn't go in the end, bugger. Storm Burts here so biking this weekend is doubtful. I am taking the Mrs out for breakfast this morning after we drop Shadow up her boy friends, (No Bike Yet). I am out tonight singing with my group, looking forward to that at least. Sunday maybe a quiet day, depending how Saturday night goes.

im glad you twats are seeing the light .... Van action all the way.

Far superior and more convenient than a tent Bob, Now you have seen the light there will be no stopping you

No

Sunny here now, which is odd because it is night time.

yeah its been lashing down here all day too

yes more chance of a day trip to the moon

Congratulations, looking good. Have you seen the bill yet

Been feeling the aftermath of that Bomb Cyclone that hit the Seattle/Vancouver BC area this week....windy as hell....& coming down in buckets earlier this morning. Finally calming down as I type this. After shooting tequila w/ the Mrs last night....definitely have a nap in order today. Possibly get a Ride in later though...

It's not bad up here on the edge of town, but Mansfield Town centre! There is a Mansfield in Ohio, bet that is a shit hole too!.

He's comparing with Mansfield @Clive

Well I didn't wanna sound so crass, but yes; shit. Cold, rainy and dark shit.

You mean shit

Sitting in a hotel room in Morgantown, West Virginia overlooking the raging Monongahela River. Tagged along with the wife as she came here for work. Nice little town full of friendly people. Headed to Southeastern Ohio next. Weather here is very English-like ....

wanking you mean

beat me to it.

They can still hear you snoring.

Absolutely Clive, that's why it's a stealth van (no windows) .

Careful the law don't catch you kipping in the van... Have a great night.

I'm out this evening for drinks with my mate who's turning 60. I will be driving around the 'clean air zone' in Bath then finding somewhere to park up near the pub. Later I will be staggering walking back to the van and kipping in it while storm Bert does its best to keep me awake

I have my discs, pads and brake shoes, but I doubt they will be getting fitted this weekend, or next week, glad I cant hear the grinding sound.

Taking Mandi to the hospital this afternoon for an op on her in growing toenail. Been giving her more grief than me as late. Prob out for a paper soon. F1 was on this morn so another early race tomorrow. Hope to finish the matchless shocks while Mandis in as we now have all the parts. There's a bit of play in the rusty liquid one which I guess is expected but they all leak I'm told. See if I can remember a pic. S type jag is still giving me a hard time with the central locking but that can wait in this weather.

Pissing down here, hopefully it will be dry tomorrow.

Been out on the FZ6N last couple of days, browsing at new bikes …………I’m being a golf wanker tomorrow

It's that time of the year again where the trails get covered in leaves and as you ride them you have no idea what's underneath which makes it more exciting As I was excused nursing duties yesterday it was time to get out for a ride so I headed in the general direction of Salisbury Plain but decided that as I was on my own to do some less travelled trails, one's that I wouldn't normally do. As soon as I got onto the Plain my immediate plan was thwarted as the Army were on exercise so Westdown and Larkhill ranges were closed.......... I rode around the perimeter path until I could get back on track but then realised that I had one in the departure lounge so this proved to be very convenient (can you see what I did there ) and then onto some tracks that were either new to me or hadn't done for a long time ................ I then got to this which was only meant to be a small brook , I walked it first and decided that as I was on my own I would retreat and find another way around as it about three feet deep in the middle I was a bit hungry by now so I popped into Tidworth for a bite to eat and some petrol for the bike.

I rode back onto the Plain and I came across one of the Army's play areas, last time I was here was about 15 years ago, they call it the Chalk Pit........... Then I started heading back towards home via some less used tracks .............. and then some more leafy surprise on the last lane of the day ...............
