“I looked like a twat on it......and it never got me a blowjob“ Thats cos in the 70’s on one of those things everyone would have assumed you had a vagina ?

Glad all the limbs are in tact ? They say something along the lines of “if you don’t fall you weren’t trying hard enough” don’t they, I’d stick with that ? Another plus of the Himalayan- stuff bends back without snapping, sometimes if you’re me multiple times without snapping on the same ride ?

@demon Unsurprisingly I agree Somerset is beautiful. When you live in it all the time you forget though and then you go somewhere else and think it’s not that great because the bars already been set high ?

Hmm now I look like a wally... ?

Great pics ? Where were they taken?

I’d never say it’s too many miles or too far because what’s enjoyable is a subjective thing. What your doing is a lot by most peoples standards- more hardcore than a jolly to a cafe for a cup of tea and home again! One day I road 6 hours and couldn’t have been happier to stop, it was boring and I was knackered, later in the same week the conditions were terrible and it took 17hrs but it didn’t seem that far or that long, tis all very variable to me. Look forward to hearing all about it in May. Thanks for the link. I’ll have a read up?

Blimey that’s a lot of hours on a daily basis. Do you do any training for that or do you just regret that you didn’t half way there? ?

Are you sure it’s a scan of a body? Looks more like marble paper ?

Most wise. When it happens how many hours a day do you anticipate being in the saddle?

Hi Demon Glad its your nickname cos if it wasnt your parents werent too fond!

In the UK driving or exercise after abdominal surgery is 6 weeks because it can take that long for muscle to adequately mesh back together. Performing an emergency stop in a vehicle or exercise can pull things apart. But I dunno what youve had done, if they went through muscle, I’m guessing looking at the scar maybe they did. If so Id try to wait if you can, if youre impatient then just waiting a couple of weeks would help. I have seen folk come back in with abdominal wounds reopened. This in no way applies to you (really Tym in no way) but it was impressive and sticks with me so I’m gonna share it anyway. One was an emergency caesarean incision (so an unusually large incision that lacked the usual finesse) and she was holding her innards in with her hand. Wasn’t her fault, she had a toddler as well as a new born and it’s impossible not to lift them. She felt it “going” a few times but it seems fine so she carried on until suddenly it really wasnt fine! She was ok in the end after a redo. Proper zombie apocalypse styley though!

Its an oldun but a good’n- Plenty of rest and stay hydrated, avoid any stress apart from this forum thats fine ?

Pretty sure anyone would say visiting a handicapped person in a home was ok. TBH so long as the home is willing to accommodate the visit I’d just go and if stopped say it’s been pre-approved by the home, any queries contact them. Then again if I thought it was needed no f*cker on earth that would stop me seeing my brother so I’m probably not dispensing the soundest advice! ? BTW what’s the fine over there?

Oh I’ve got one of those. Don’t think it works the same way though cos it’s red. And I’ve never used it ??

Aaw Mucho friend to all the losers, freaks n weirdos no-one else can stand. Oh wot wait a minute.... damn.

How much more is needed before it turns from “alleged” to proven? Asking for a friend ?

It’s an area of expertise I feel you’ve had more time with, so combine that with your let us say ‘slightly above normal’ interest in balls, bums and ointments, your natural ability for a higher form of empathy based on owning the same flibbery jibbery whitebait bits I’m thinking the kindest hands, the most experienced hands are yours. Now you wudna want to deprive a mate in need of that now would you?

Well Tym if you find this thread (that alone will be a miracle the way this shit show is run) then you can see we’ve all been hoping it’s done n dusted n you’re on your way home all fine n dandy. Particularly Dandy, I could imagine you rocking dandy. I tried to donate on Bruce’s ball jar labelling charity thread for you but couldn’t see any bank details so I spent it on new gloves I don’t need instead, being kind hearted I knew you wouldn’t mind so Tym thanks for the gift ?

Lol now I know youre definitely unbalanced ?

Honestly I’m not sure what I was thinking, it’s even worse when you know this was only 2015 ?? From the expression on my face you can tell I was clearly lost (again), my delightful friends enjoyed photographing my clueless face as I slid by in the wrong direction... again

If that’s the 80’s you were waaaay cool, no fluorescent gear?! Christ I look more like a refugee from the 80’s now than you did back then! Hang on I’ll try and find my best/worse gear choices. One season I wore a Panda hat. Yep it’s not a typo.. a fake fur Panda hat, not sure if I have a photo of that though.

Funny you should mention that. I spent last years ski holiday thinking about how far the same money would have taken me on a motorcycle, at the end of the holiday I decided I’m done with skiing for a while. The constraints of time and money, what a PITA

Always has been over here but theres a ratings scale of resorts from super bastid expensive preserve of the wealthy to jeans and an anorak are alright for skiing in aren’t they?

What didnt you like about the alps? The steep drops you can easily accidentally ski off? ?

Ah yes I remember that one. I was 9 then so cant of been the first time Id seen snow but it is the first time I remember it, cue huge disappointment every time they said it was gonna snow after that and 2-3cm fell ?
