Ah yes I see what you mean, my bad! Well yes n no. I genuinely don’t like taking photos. But when I do take a postable pic I often don’t cos it’s often on the Himalayan and I can’t be arsed to listen to it.

No that’s not what I’m saying. I haven’t put a pic up of it cos I’m in love with it and intend to carry on with that joy. I don’t need to waste time on other peoples bitchin or any head space on negative bollox. The slagging off happens regardless. Bike slagged off or slagged off for not posting a pic. I choose the latter.

You know how it goes, riding high on the pleasure of a really pretty new bike, not often in life you get a roll of constant joy (and that bike is a joy), so no need spoil a good time. And the moaners get their moneys worth anyway cos they get to bitch about not seeing a pic So soz about that, but it isn’t worth it!

Cheers mi dear but I already got there on the third page of BSA hate, I thought I’m not gonna put up a pick of my new toy, I’ll keep it to myself and enjoy it bile free.. fuck ‘em Worked out pretty well

Nor a hulking great top case either.. but some of us know when not to assault peoples eyes

We have a leak somewhere cos we’re losing water pressure but ripping up the house to find it seems a bit much!

Miserable old bastards is just plain ol’

Sunny here too and I really can’t be arsed.. mañana

Have little read back on the BSA thread and see if you fancy posting a pic of your new bike on there for a bunch of miserable old bastards to tear apart. No-one want’s to see a pic of a “POS Indian bike” so everybody happy

I should have deleted them when they couldn’t come but I didn’t and two of them aren’t coming cos they are having a hard time and are enjoying the chat so I don’t feel like I can boot them off now. I’ll definitely bear it in mind next time. WTF am I saying what next time

Thats good news, hope it was sunny!

I’m having the “little too big” problem with my Shoei but I probably just need to buy a new liner.

Thanks I didn’t know that There is a WhatsApp group but it has a few people on it who aren’t coming. And at the end of the trip I delete the group and then the app from my phone cos it’s invasive.

Jeeezus Christ. That describes the feeling of being out it traffic brilliantly. I feel quite sick now. The flashbacks had only just stopped so thanks a fucking bunch It is impossible to understand how far away a vehicle is and how fast it’s going to be on top of you on a motorway. It almost doesn’t make sense. It’s also a shock how far you go before you stop. I too stopped looking as a lept to the hard shoulder, it was a stay here and definitely die or jump and maybe die. Brrrrrr. Thank for sharing that. It kinda makes me feel a bit better about it, not much though cos you were only twenty and didn’t want to risk killing someone. I was just being dumb as fuck!! Bet the traffic was even faster than usual cos everyone sticks their foot down and drives a bit more aggressively if they’ve been caught in a jam.

Yer well the group I’m going with are the ones who fail at the second man drop thing. So will have a tail and a lead and if I get to a straight and can’t see the tail I’ll slow down or pull over. If they all have the next stop destination in their sat nav it shouldn’t be too hard. If it is I’ll go back and get them but I don’t see that happening (famous last words) because they’re kind women but all of them underneath that are pleasingly tough. I’m sure I’ll be pleasantly surprised

Oh the swept out to sea thing scares me!

Hmm yes. It’s never full proof is it Second man drop is something I’ve experienced twice and both times the second man forgot to drop and the group was split up for what felt like an eternity. On one occasion leaving me and one other up a mountain in the foggy dark in a foreign clime But it’s France not some remote spot so I’ve asked everyone to sort out some type of sat nav be it phone or otherwise. We will stop every hour or so for a ten min leg stretch (one of the group is well into her 60’s and aches a bit), those stops will be given as sat nav co ords so faster members who don’t want to spare the horses can scratch that itch, the slower will have someone to lead and someone bringing up the rear (that’s what she said ). If anyone gets split up they can then easily continue on route to the next stopping point. Everyone is using a locator app for a group I’ll create before we board the ferry (just for the trip) so should anything untoward happen it’s easy to find them or them us. They work really well for group trips, although not so well to prevent on the last Colts rugby tour 4 of them shaving off all their hair just before their uni interviews and one losing their virginity to a lady of the night

This is rather putting me off my upcoming group ride I’ll have to stick to the speed limit, slow down to accommodate the lowest common denominator and it’s going to be painful isn’t it I know for sure two of the women are race level fast but the others Heyho.

And die of boredom along the way

Women just don’t think in innuendo to the same extent. I joined another forum recently (please don’t ban me, I know it’s not allowed and I’m sorry, I’ll leave there immediately.. oops no, thats the other place ) and as it’s a food forum I just type a sentence and post it, thats it. Here I re-read it, look at the possible innuendo and rephrase it if I’d rather the post read than a scene from a carry on Mind you it’s also funny to leave it as is and have a scene from a carry on At home all three of mine do “thats what she/he said” and “title of your sex tape” from bloody Brooklyn 99 So something innocent like squeezing a loaf of bread and saying “its gone hard” “thats what she said” Or “that was a mistake” “title of your sex tape” It’s a sport here to see who can pick them out fastest!

Not a chance in hell

Cheers Tango

I reckon it is You don’t get to go deaf in a nice uniform fashion so some sounds are far more audible than others, god in his infinite wisdom decided I should continue to hear feckin wind noise good n clear

This! I started off asking people what they wanted… MISTAKE Now I’ve booked the accommodation, am deciding the route and I’ll let them have that when there’s not enough time for them to consider what it consists of

I’ve organised a few trips (not group bike ones) but as Bob says it’s usually a thankless task and even if the majority are easy going there’s always one or two that moan with no idea of how much work goes into it and no intention of doing it themselves! Heyho. I like these women and they’re not whingers by any stretch so I sure it’ll be dandy. Got to go and search for the travel first aid kit, I have three of the feckers, ones in Spain but what the hell are the Borrowers doing with the other two?!
