Landscapes, Cityscapes, Waterscapes with or without bikes

I remember having a go at the mullet in the Leys. They're still there, but no fishing allowed, I believe. -
If I remember correctly you could buy them with plastic last time we went. '18?

They now have an online booking system for day-trippers. Takes away the ridiculous train smash, with first come first served, that used to exist.

My mate Titus has had terrible trouble with his GoPro Hero 10. A lot of it is probably down to him. I mean, he's only a former electrical and radio officer who maintained the equipment. He's now in Spain, having done just over 5k miles on his 25 year old Harley since leaving UK.

GPS device that works like a phone with google maps
Specs replied to Pedro's topic in MOTORCYCLE WORKSHOP
Just put maps.me on your phone and download the area you need. Doesn't use any data. Not quite google maps but more than adequate. -
How many of us with superior genes haven't had the dreaded lurghie yet? Seems that most that I know have had it.

I wanted cold so left at 0430. 6C was great to begin with. Then I stopped to put a sweater on. Ok for a while, then it got foggy. Bloody cold and damp, but far better than sweating my nuts off during the day!

I went there, and came back. Cold going up, cooking hot on the way back. Stopped to warm up in the early sun

Nightmare getting a booking for a stay there. A bit random if you get through immediately when the lines open.

I listened to the first bit and I reckon it sounds foreign. Bloody immigrants!

Here is Bruce admiring his handiwork, the Mk1 panniers. The other guy is my mate Titus who has just been to Kiev, left on Monday, on that bike, the Harley. He has just crossed from Moldova to Romania, heading for the Vatican where he hopes to be appointed as the next pope. The KTM is the bike that I wished I'd kept, but would never be able to get on it these days - far too tall.

I followed him on the way to Tregaron when he had the original ones on. I thought that he'd come off on every bend as they were so low. I can't remember whether he rebuilt them or whether he lifted them up a bit. Couldn't go much quicker than about 65mph as I remember due to a weave setting in.

That was before the Scotland trip. I think it took second place to the holes in the water which he fills with money after that, and it was neglected.

It was fine when he was using it. Never missed a beat riding around Scotland and the islands.

Proper hornets nest.

My last GS got a new engine at 15k miles because it was getting corroded. Finish on them not the best, and using dissimilar metals on the rear hub doesn’t help. I also got a new ‘beak’ as the original was delaminating, new switchgear, and a new exhaust because the ‘exup’ valve had seized. Warranty is great! They were going to pay for recoating the wheels, but I traded it in.

Dawn was telling me that he’d very recently cycled across Scotland, off road, in two days with no ill effects. Always out walking or on his pushbike. I wonder if it was something congenital that had never been picked up as there was no reason to suspect anything wrong with him? Funeral is next Friday, the 17th.

Mine was a later model. Different mechanism.

Nice! I'm sure that you'll get used to the dreadful gearbox. Tidy.
