The bike went through flipping on the buried fence. I took the airborne option. Just the once was enough @Buckster!

Hi @zzzak

Far too hot for you Fred. Your nether regions would be suffering for weeks! I struggled today just walking about. I had intended to go for a ride but my mate called me, so walk it was. Get well soon.

Reading one of my mate's books, The Book of Titie. He flies out somewhere, buys a bike and travels around looking at natural history museums, memorials and bars. Interesting and amusing. Well worth trying one of the kindle versions. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07B6S5MVY/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_BM896AKWM64NPYFR0RB4

Likewise Pedro. Another GS is good. Does everything that I can do, and is comfortable to boot. The T7s are nice too although too tall for me. Seat is too hard and the top end whine from the Africa Twin spoils it for me. Something like Pete's bike will be the next sensible option I think.

I remember that. It was on Wales Online.

Exactly. Boris must have given the Germans a bung.

I hope so Pete. The media frenzy is utterly nauseous already. I have to have a bucket nearby if I turn the tv on. Fred has it right.

Mine's about the same. I did once get just over 70mpg leading a MAG ride out. I doubt if we ever got over 50mph! A lot of dual carriageway and scoots in tow. Some even broke down. Apparently a steady speed doesn't suit them and they seize up!

Exactly.

I think I remember it at 3/6d a gallon. Remember the shock horror when it first hit £1 a gallon?

7.5p Have you forgotten already?

Nothing that some tear gas and a few baton rounds couldn’t sort out. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-57197466

That was that hot summer. Kept falling off when the rains came. A gallon or so of SA couldn’t have helped!

It’s a lot worse now than when I first went up there.

Here's a few photos of it when Fred and I rode a lot of it in 2019, not in any particular order.

I might get out on Thursday.

Probably out riding! ?

Petes’ going to go into the second hand dog turd business! ?

Looks as if you can. https://www.colefordtyres.co.uk/TyreSearch/Details/109861/Continental+Conti+Trail+Attack+3+15070R18

I felt as if I had mild flu for a week.

I once threw up after having that one night in Liverpool. Delicious, but too rich on top of a belly full of beer, wine and port. ?

I was under the impression that the EU had decided to get their vaccines en masse as it were, and that the bureaucracy has held up the ordering. Didn't the president admit as much? https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/25/world/europe/europe-covid-19-vaccine-shortage.html https://www.politico.eu/article/europe-coronavirus-vaccine-struggle-pfizer-biontech-astrazeneca/ That's it. Sorry Pete, no more politix. ???????

It seems like the EU bureaucrats have slowed the vaccine procurement so much that there's now a third wave, and they blame the UK for it. Rich!
