I've been past the Château Quéribus a few times, but never took the road up to it, so I thought that it would be a nice little run on the new bike. I headed around the Narbonne northern ring road as usual and took my normal route up and across past the Abbaye Fontfroide. It was slightly cloudy when I set off, but it was blowing a hoolie! On the road past Fontfroide I was getting knocked about by the wind and I did seriously consider calling it a day and head back home, but I decided to persevere and carried on. I turned off that road at Thézan-des-Corbières and headed west. The wind was now behind me, so it wasn't so much of a problem then. I was trying to get tuned into the new bike, which rides and handles quite different to the Scrambler. I noticed also that the Michelin Anakee's on it don't tramline like the Dunlops did on the Scrambler. The ride is also more plush on this bike, but it holds its line pretty well through the twisties. My route took me through Durban-Corbières, Villeneuve-les-Corbières and Tuchan, so I passed by the Château d'Aguilar before turning off and heading up the gorge near Padern and then on to Cucugnan, where the turning up to the Château Quéribus is. The road twists up the side of the hills there before you reach the road that takes you up to the castle carpark. The road up to the carpark is pretty narrow and there's a couple of nice, tight hairpins up there. The carpark was not too busy, so I stopped for a couple of pictures and then went down the same access road. I stopped at the junction of the main road for a coffee from my flask that I'd taken with me. The wind was howling across there and I ended up wearing more coffee than I drank. I was fearful of the bike getting blown over too, so I decided to just head back by the same route and save further exploration for some less windy days! I was pleased how the bike felt and performed. I was starting to get tuned into it by the return journey.

Don't be silly , can you really see Pete on a trail fixing a puncture

I think you need to widen your criteria. Forget all this adventure bike stuff and get something daft as fuck, fast as fuck and something that says you don’t give a………you get the idea Pete. Get a naked bike.

He doesn’t……he waits for the attendant.

Peter purvis from blue peter was on that

Very different indeed………rarely cold during winter, sweltering hot during July and August and far less abandoned stuff.………and no @XTreme

Yeh but Busa's going to give him riding lessons! He'll be ready for the Dakar after that.

Who do you think these would suit

I don't care just tell us when you got it. i can see whats happen this is your build up to a bike change in 2025

Gotta be my favorite Indian....

Tv blooper program on tv ..this was just on it , not seen this clip before...

Gimbal the Fleshlight.... now we all know what @XTreme's secret fetish is about!

I had one of those, i'm too old for this shit days today, I had a good ride but i twatted my left foot then twatted my right knee and then came home early with a migraine totally exhausted, i was just a passenger on the ride home, got home around 3 had a shower and went to bed, didn't feel hungover when i got up but sure last night had something to do with it. Only photos i took were these

Came across this lot when we out yesterday

At least that would be more interesting than going to Albox for tea bags.

This is what you want Pete, you don't go far and there's hours of fun to be had on this . Plus you'll probably get 150 mpg

Here, relive your youth

Go gay...get yourself and electric harley ... ..

Good advice......if I was still in my teens or 20's Ray! Wheelies outside girls' schools would see me put on the Sex Offenders Register now!

Now i can really bore the fuck out of him and its all in one place

I don’t know how he manages the fill the the Honda with petrol.

I am the baron of this manor.

I couldn't fix a puncture wherever it happened!

Or get an up to date OS explorer map. Then you can sneak out and take your time without all the piss taking when it goes tits up, and it will.

Kove.

Dulux!!...I could get better coverage with semi skimmed milk ...onto the 3rd coat. Should have done it with rattle cans.

Bugger that then! That's why I always look for places that I can ride into!

As the old saying goes...Whoever invented fucking wants decorating.

no you got more ... brexit is sending it

We has some years ago, it dried like cement on bodywork, a sod to get off. Sleeting here now. fooking windy too.

It's really brutal stuff! Makes a mess everywhere!

26 here! Without snow!

Snow!...fucking snow!....its not settling though.

You’re getting frustrated because you’re dealing with this as an intellectual problem that ought to be easily solved by the application of logic and careful explanation – the way it would be with a child. The issue with Zzzak – as with many conspiracy theorists – is not that he can’t understand these things, but that he chooses not to understand them. It’s a psychological problem rather than an intellectual one. In his attempts to discredit the moon landings he has exhibited a grasp of the physics of light that doesn’t even satisfy the learning outcomes of the current GCSE science syllabus, and an understanding of basic diving principles that would have seen him flunk the Junior Scuba Diver course that my kids took a couple of years ago. Now unless Zzzac is genuinely of a lower intellectual capacity than a 15-year-old - which I don’t for one minute believe that he is - then we have to assume that there is another reason for this complete imperviousness to high-school level science. I’m not qualified to speculate on what that might be, but I would imagine that any of the innumerable psychological studies into the causes of susceptibility to conspiracy theories among otherwise intelligent people should give some possible explanations.

He just debunked his own argument but hasn't figured that out yet.

When I bought my Transalp, a long time ago. My dealership had some issues with some of the 125cc coming from Italy. Usually missing stickers, but this one time a bike wouldn’t start before the client came to pick it up. Engine was spinning like mad though. Bike simply came fully assembled but no piston and connecting rod

Spanish version..

It's in the Murcia province, and apparently it never had electricity or water! The last inhabitants left in 1985. First time out for a month......the bike needed a run! This is why a top box is essential here..... You lot would shit yourselves in places like this...... Would you go in? Can't get access inside to many of them...... Access to it isn't too bad..... No idea how this happened......but this pic came out like this for some reason? Weird......maybe there's ghosts in this place or something.? Doesn't bother me of course! In fact, I wish I could get something like that on film! Anyway......there it is! Something else for you casuals to aspire to!

So no one from uk can come to spain and ride a bike on some gravel

Opposite Chepstow race course today

Never heard a dildo called that before ..........

I think you dropped your flashing light and dildo , the one's you use to entice the DBM's into those abandoned buildings ..........................

This business is based in Wadebridge which itself is spans the River Camel.

Are you suggesting that I - Otto von Jizzmark - would meet up with a complete stranger for a little adventure in a hot climate, maybe having to ride pillion because of my dodgy hand and accidentally caressing his buttocks as a consequence, gently at first and then more vigorously until… I’m sorry - I drifted off there for a moment…

We don't own any horses. My elder daughter loans Coconut, which in my terms, is a fucking great grey thing the younger ones loan horse fell though as the horse went lame, so she hasn't got one at all at the moment. But she is helping my cousin train one of her horses for her daughter. Loaning is a bit like renting. Costs £200 a month for Coconut.

It was Chloe's idea, as she is obsessed with red and black, so anything bike related that is red and black on Temu may end up on that bike.
