Yeah, like anything techy it takes a bit of learning, there are Youtube videos to help Basically the entire network is made up of separate servers (instances) pretty much anyone can create an instance whether it's for a group/individual/whatever, an instance can and often do block many other instances as there's a hell of a lot of porn/sexual soliciting/extreme racism etc out there I'm on the toot.wales as it seemed appropriate I avoid the arty/photography one's as they're very lefty softy for my tastes, millions have deserted Twitter and found Mastodon as an alternative so there's lots of whingy twatter users looking for "safe spaces" (twerps), I just post pics on there and immediately block any obvious far lefties as it winds me up to read the crap, I should imagine the biker.social will be more to your liking but you can see people from other instances if you wish

Mainly for Pete this one as there's a lot of folk moved over to using mastodon, it's a social media network, not owned by anyone made up of countless linked up servers (instances) each with it's own flavour and there is at least one for bikers at bikers.social which could potentially harvest new users for here, you can set up an instance of your own and limit it to just one person or a group or everyone, the main instance no longer accepts registrations so you have to sign up to another instance like bikers.social, I'm at @photo@toot.wales signed up on toot.wales as "photo". I got fed up with all the bollocks on FB/Instagram never really used twatter or pinterest so all my accounts on all other social media sites are now shut down

No Pete, whenever I try that it gets harder and harder

DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME, I'M NOT A REAL DOCTOR! Doctor Cupid's top tip: If you've got a hurty toe causing lots of pain and you notice that the nail is thicker and discoloured it's probably a fungal infection, if it has also become infected under the nail (the cause of the major pain) then get the Dremel out and slowly grind the nail thickness down, don't concentrate on one area for too long as the heat will cause a lot more hurty and sweary, keep going a bit at a time until your face starts getting splattered with pus, this is when you know you've gone far enough and your expert diagnosis was correct, now your left with soggy bits of nail that can be pulled off with tweezers, careful not to stab the hurty part, that gets really sweary then, all evacuated, job done no doctors required though apparently a psychiatrist is recommended DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME, I'M NOT A DOCTOR!

Mods? WTF, anything goes here or have people been spelling "Cunt" wrong too much?

It's the state of becoming aware that everyone who isn't white and male is underprivileged and that white males are all privileged and then acting upon it. Most notably like when Gillette launched their clearly biased advert which appeared to site white men as evil and all women and non whites as saviours, costing their business millions in lost revenue as they'd targeted their prime customer base, hence the phrase "get woke go broke" It's akin to what was being taught in schools and many institutions "Critical Race Theory" All this shit perpetuates racism and division and I'm bloody certain the far left financial supporters like George Soros know this very well

So, I looked at changing my wallpaper in google Chrome OS, the first thing I see is the categories of wallpapers available to me. 1, LGBTQ 2. Latino 3. Black 4. Landscapes No mention of White or Asian at all That's not fucking equality or inclusion, that's racism and exclusion

It wasn't a "Jam sandwich" it was older than that, all blue old shape Rover 3.5, 1974
-
Yeah, apparently it still has to be taxed but at £0, no records now so I'd guess it has been scrapped for a very long time However the police car that used to stop us all the time as kids is still on record SMP619M it was a 3.5 rover
-
No idea mate, I would seriously doubt it Can't check it like modern vehicles as if it still existed it would be classed as an historical vehicle and exempt from MOT and Tax

My Dad's Lambretta, bought in 1955 for £155 plus 7/6p tax He kept it until 1973, Pete would never have a bike that long

Damn it storm Arwen This bloody storm has knocked my garden waste bin over, God only knows what would have happened if it had something in it I had to walk all the way out there to set it upright Better not be another one next year

Ahhh the beauty of satnav as I used to say to you before then, it doesn't stop you venturing it does the opposite allowing you to follow your nose until you're totally lost then switch it on and get back easily You'll have to go back there now

Have you ridden the A-319 North west of you yet Pete? Looks like a stunning road and scenery

Well having said in another thread that drones are useless for spying as the cameras are ultra wide angle and even people fairly close are unrecognisable Well, not if it's me building one LOL, back in 2015 I decided to play around with some tech (as I do) and put a 10 x zoom camera onto a purpose built (by me) multirotor (drone) so if I could get stable video without too much shake I also tried a 30 x zoom camera but it was too shaky when zoomed in

Last time I rode to North Wales I refused to take any main road, it was pissing down all the way and it took me 6 hours Coming back over the mountains in gale force winds was an interesting experience, bike at 25 degrees tilt (no kidding) and the rain coming up vertically into my helmet, shitting my pants getting thrown all over the road, they're memories and stories to tell later in life, I can't remember the rides where it was all pleasant and nothing interesting happened
-
I don't understand why someone wouldn't want to do that No such thing as the wrong weather, just the wrong clothing. It's about scenery, adventure and kudos Yes, camping and eating tinned breakfast wears thin pretty quickly but with experience you stop eating that shit, take the proper gear and cook up your own eggs and bacon They're riding through woodlands and terrain that dates back to the ice age, the feeling of being in places like that is unique, calming and inspiring

They're impractical really, even the auto mix bikes like the CRM, you can't always trust the mix and they use nearly twice as much fuel so you can't have a route that doesn't include nearby fuel stops They are great fun and give max power for minimum weight, my GasGas EC300 was a monster on power, I got it up to nearly 80mph over the rocks on Sarn Helen coming back down towards the gate :), it's capable of higher speeds not not with me on it over rocks , my two CRM's were awesome too and I remember my old RD250LC was quite a beast in it's day

All the best enduro riders started out doing Trials, David Knight, Graham Jarvis and many others MX riders simply cannot handle the gnarly stuff, been out with a few and they always head for the nearest fire road to get them home by mid morning LOL
