Just got notified yesterday that I'm gonna be a Great Grandparent this coming October... here's my oldest Grandson's 1st view of his future riding partner...that he already has a bike in the waiting for the little guy...

I also wanna build a tiny cabin or two for visiting bike riders. Plenty of room behind the garages for them and I've always wanted to build one. Something like these:

Thanks! Should have loads of great ride reports once I get moved in. The new place has 5+ acres of land and a small shop out back - actually two shops in one. Smaller one to the right will be bikes only and the rest will be welding and woodshop stuff ....

Back at ya

Well, it was worth a try, too few and far between maybe Shame as the bike scene in Wales is huge, biker cafes are heaving down here, the roads are to die for.

Wot on my fucking scoot, mind you it'd still beat a Harley

Packing for the move that begins next week. Entire house contents are boxed up and ready for the movers. We'll be in for a culture shock; moving from one of the wealthiest areas of the USA to one of the poorest. But the riding in Appalachia is great and I'm looking forward to it....

Sounds like a proper adventure.

Cheers Bob.... I'm just stoked to see my grandson become a Dad...he'll be a good one. There's a lady at our church who plays the organ...she just turned 80 y/o...she has 17 great grandchildren to me, that's impressive

Pity you don't have a bike.

I've got to get over to Wales to ride some. Did years ago and liked it, but would like to go back. Maybe Summer 2026

It was Kitt Hill bike meet this morning so we Fowey geriatrics met at 9:00am and set off. Five in the photo but one more arrived and we picked up one on route. Me Honda CBF600 Andy BMW R80 Martyn BMW R100 Gary Triumph Bonnie 650 Paul Triumph Tiger 850 Mike HD Fat BoB? Summin like that anyway and we picked Steve with his RE Super Meteor on route. One route we saw loads of bikes all going our way. Suppose the weather and time of year meant it was bound to be busy. When we got to Louis I was shocked we are normally in the first 10 to 15 bikes there. Must have been a good 100 there already today. Anyway breakfast ordered and eat then had a look at the many bikes. I didn’t try to photo many but there was loads of everything thing from vintage to brand new. Anyway after an hour Andy had to go so the 6 of us set off to got to Kev’s place for a cup of tea, I thought Kev lived in Plymouth but it turns out he had moved to Bideford the opposite coast from where we were. No problem as the roads were glorious and pretty quiet. We travelled out through Tavistock then on across Dartmoor to join the A386. Again lovely quiet roads in stunning sunshine. Doesn’t get much better than this. Anyway we got to The Highwayman at Sourton. (Yes that one Six30). When Mikes Harley died. The engineer and electrician decided, after some fettling, that the bike wasn’t charging and the battery was dead. Anyway after an hour messing we gave up and Mike called the RAC to rescue him. So we carried on to Kev’s place again on through some glorious roads through Torrington and then Bideford. All good. Tea drunk, some chat and we then headed down the A39 to Bude for fuel. Then to Camelford, Bodmin and home to Fowey. Steve left us at Camelford, A stunning day out day out with some entertaining mates, Shame the Harley didn’t make it, I felt for Mike as he was gutted his shiny pride and joy let him down. Covered 157 miles, @60mpg, one thing about having the vintage boat anchors with us you do save fuel.

Yebbut you’re at least 15 years older than Scott

Sorted.. get another one in there if I cleared all the shit at end of it

They don't even know him.

Pity it is only a small shop.

Hope it goes smoothly and trouble free. Can be stressful times. Well jealous of the workshop and the space although I'd need a few more rabbits to take care of the grass.

Action …

Says the guy who rode all the way to Wales to ride the trails with us and then wussed out cos he had a hurty knee

thats some garage ..mines about the size of the trailer next to it

Today I have mainly been following in Fred's footsteps (apart from the bumming). I can confirm that the trees are still blocking the sunken road and that Strata Florida is still wet ............

Looking forward to the reports you can post from what you have on your next doorstep.

Jax Shack is shit , don't bother going .............. Great , more time and space for me to go again, and again

Looks like it is Terry and Fred off to the woods then.

Just throwing it out there guys I can tailor ride for all skill levels. It's €120 per night A.I in the Shack that sleeps 5

I would genuinely like to do this, only question mark for me is getting time off work. If I can I will, now if it was mid week

had a local ride on the Beta this afternoon, bloody nice to not have to wash tons of mud off it for a change A few photos of the usual lanes you've all seen before but with clear blue sky's and no chem trails fucking Golfers all over the road

What the feck is a DBM......tiz a great place to live with countless trails

I dunno I probably haven't seen him in 20 years, today was the first time. Didn't really get much time to catch up today.

has your mate had a tug with the plate on the Harley ... i like a smaller plate but that does look small

sounds like a good day... i will get to that pub the Highway man

Wow ! I've only got 2.

Just been out on the Street for an hour , cracking bike , plenty of Torque and sounds nice … just got to make some room in the garage now

Looks like a good area to ride Pete would have been impressed you visited some abandoned shit any DBM's there

Was a garage with a bikers cafe next to it … robbing fuckers £3.80 for a flat white

Where are all their vans ?

It will be some £30 knock off “good as a” GoPro off Amazon.

Van action tomorrow ... first of the year chaps.

I am fecking lost ....is this some sort of weird biker cult I've joined

Cheers Saul, it was the only one they had left and luckily it was the colour I wanted. Finalised a plan to ride up to Segovia on 25 May to meet up with six mates from the UK. First night hotel in the city centre and then camp for a week or so before heading back home. Can’t wait. No fixed plans, each day’s destination will be discussed the night before and the only non negotiable is the weather.

A short spin out this morning to use up some klms before the 1,000 klm service next Thursday. Perfect.

Wales !!!!!!! Come on boys expand your horizons ....get yourselves down here to Jax Shack . . . . . . Don't listen to BOL he reckons it's shit

The Bristol and South Wales guys....... maybe, the few remaining members from around the country, very doubtful.......unless they have a van to transport their machine in

I got a mate that does camper conversations … let me know if any of you are interested
