I've not measured top speed yet, I bail and get too nervous. But lets put it this way. I dropped a Atlantic class RNLI RIB for dead when they were attending a callout to stranded walkers on the sandbanks when the tide came back in. After some more trials I want to prop her for towing toys so will limit the speed to around the high twenties. I think at the moment she is around 40 knts. What you have to understand is that 17 knts on water in something that size will scare you if there are swells. They are so light the water feels like concrete

So they are like tipper trucks then in that they need some weight in them to ride properly

Hmm someone is playing silly buggers

No, I have a poncy fresh water flush system like they have on full size ships and aircraft. There is a pump that creates a vacuum in the shit tank so that when you flush it's not a lot of water flushing it down. Rather it sucks violently. Think of a potato cannon in reverse. If you've been a big blouse and used wodges and wodges of toilet paper you can block the pipe work. Only the blockage is held in by a very strong vacuum. When you break that seal all sorts can happen.

The bonus of the system is there is no sewer stink to the boat, but you'll need instruction on how to use it. People dont get it from the off.

So you have a dump......cut the log in to nice easy to digest pieces then use one square of shit roll to wipe with

I couldn't help myself....  

Sure it was raining and only 5 degrees out...

Sure I only had 75km on new sport tires...

But Charlotte did great in the not so ideal conditions, she is just a gem and we are two wet and happy girls! 

Looks like you enjoyed yourselves, hope you didn't get too moist

The dinghy or the tender you can go wild in. How hard are they? Well, motorcyclists are at a huge massive disadvantage because you treat the throttle tiller like it was a bike handlebar.  The revs dont drop simple because you released the throttle, you actually have to twist it down. Easy peasy, lets see just how many of you take it to full chat and when she comes on song shit yourself when it starts climbing out the water onto the prop, let go the throttle and shit yourself some more as you keep speeding up. Ya. And they dont have brakes neither.

Sounds like fun, I don't scare easily so bring it on roger

Fine. When 300 litres of untreated shit  hits you like a firehose  as you take a piss you'll soon return the captaincy to me meekly and repentant

How hard can driving a dingy be?? You'd have to be a blithering idiot to hit any furniture

I have no intentions of leaving the cruiser in any of your hands. Apart from demolishing the booze fridge you lot would probably break the vacuum based head and shower shit everywhere

I feel a mutiny arising

You can sail? Ok. We will stop off at port dinorwic where I keep her. You can be a WAFI for the day . Swagman can be your 2nd on the jib and stumpy on HydraBish as safety boat. Dress warm . I predict you'll get very ah erm moist!

Listen to captain pugwash here, sounds like he's recruiting for a spot of piracy here either that or he's demoting himself to roger the cabin boy

That and taking a few lads out for a slaughterhouse booze cruise and one genuine gentleman and his family for a weekend away

This could get messy

Everyone is invited....BUT NOT @Beemer Bummer, sorry bud! lol

In the future could well take the offer of a trip in to the wilderness

I have a lot of contacts (Biker B&B's) spread out across Southern Spain......for example it's €20 a night here. Or it was last year!

 

Quite like the look of that place, how far is it from your gaffe?

2 hours ago, XTreme said:

It looks like there could be a plan taking shape here.

@Richzx6r, @Six30......and now @Dell seems up for it.

And when Dell comes to Spain you just know something's going to happen. 

Broken bones, smashed bikes, exploding cars, ferries running aground, and planes not flying are just par for the course when Dell is involved.

So who else has got the cojones for this carnage?

@Sir Fallsalot..... @boboneleg........you guys like to walk on the wild side, and there's nothing going to be wilder than this shit!

It seems like it eh, I have checked out a few places online to stay and they range from £39-59 a night which is reasonable so all we now need is for covid to do one so we can start putting this jolly in motion.

I shall make a group pm with all those involved so we can collectively organise everything and all know what is going on

Tbh I would be riding south to my parents who live by stansted airport i could fairly easily ride down to Southampton to get the ferry to Santander within 5 or 6 hours, and I agree with six I wouldn't particularly want to be slogging for hours on end although I get that is all part of the adventure but I would much prefer to fly over and pick up a bike from the airport that would be easier to ride on some of the more challenging roads if we choose to do some dark motorcycling

With the exception of the HSE being there it's like nothing happened. As a company we were shitting ourselves when we heard the news because we had just finished installing a new gas alarm system there 

Thats not good news wonder what caused the explosion

So it never rained back in the 70's when we rode on plastic tyres with no brakes then Rich? 

It was a decade long drought I heard

yeh i could be up for this rich.

Good mate will be good to have you along aswell

But....we can ride in the wet unlike that old dago wannabe.

I don't know what he would do if it rained whilst he was out on a ride, I'd guess he would freeze on the spot with fear and turn in to a gibbering wreck
