    Centurion Scooter Club set up before the others arrive today. My first night spent in the new tent was a success and i love it. The showers and toilet facilities are awesome here which i wasnt expecting so bonus. 24hr food on but nowt for veggies so ill be living on chips 🍟

    Had an awful time getting here yesterday when a scooterer skidded in deep gravel infront of me...i braked but lost the back end of my bike, he was rolling in my path and i hit him. My concern was dropping my bike on him so i just concentrated on keeping it upright, its a heavy bike and fully loaded it would have broken bones. I felt absolutely dreadful. Witnesses and the guy himself kept saying that i did right but man i was devastated. 

    Anyway onward with the weekend. 

    Oh and sorry about the psycho goblin type laugh in the video....if it plays as it keeps saying youtube wont play it.

    He said earlier he doesn't have one.

    Its an American thing over 80% of them have no helmet. Every year a percentage of these poor babies will become infected and suffer deformity or worse.. and yet they continue with it, the idea is its cleaner. Even if it prevents a minute percentage of children from getting a urine infection (which is easily treated) this does not offset the risks.

    Plus a baby can't consent to it which is quite a big thing when you consider it causes a loss of sensitivity.

    Bet you weren't expecting that answer 😆

    I second that emotion. Both my boys are fully helmeted 😊

  3. A 'what the hell im in' trip. The scooter lot are going to Kelso rally so im going too, on my bike of course. Camping at the showground and already booked on to the local parkrun there 😊 We leave this Thurs morning and im almost packed. Andy hopefully will come up after work on saturday night. Drive back on sunday. Praying to the sun gods as we speak. Im going to try and go pro stuff this time. Im excited to try the new tent 😊 & the shredded memory foam pillow @Slowlycatchymonkey recommended looks plush. Ive also got a thick foam yoga matt for under my matress. Hopefully be a bit warmer. 

    Think i need a bigger bike 🤭

    Still food to pack and other bits and pieces 😳

    Is this the trip that was supposed to happen before some scrotes nicked Andy’s bike?
