I've lost count of the number of times I've filled up in France during the last 15 years using my debit card and that has never happened to me (I don't have a credit card). I check my bank statement when I get back and you get a small surcharge on each purchase for converting sterling to euros but it's pennies . Like @Tango says , you rarely find a garage where you actually pay someone, it's all done at the pump. They only thing I will say is that for the past 10 years I have never filled up on the Autoroute so that may be different, I never use the Autoroute in France.

It's an internet based group , ABC, or Adventure Bunkhouse Group. They come from all over the country and we even have three in France and one in Africa.

I wore it especially to wind up the Honda haters

Aaaaaaaaaaahh , similar to what we used to put on our KTM 950/990's

I'm back home. Fantastic weekend of chatting crap, drinking and riding some nice lanes. I know it was a great weekend as I am shattered now

Can you amalgamate them into one at a favourable rate ?

Brunch stop at Quatford , proper bikers cafe

Coffee stop at Ledbury

What have you got to sort out with your pension Fred, lots of scammers about now

You can do it that way but it will let you down eventually.

Yes, I was debating on which boots to wear. The Sidi trials boots offer a bit more protection but like you say the Forma's are so comfortable so I think the Forma's will be used this weekend. PS. neither of these boots identify as gay ....................

So last week when I was out on Miss America she was cutting out intermitently. In the end I noticed that it was on lanes with 'whoop' sections so I stopped to have a look and could see that the side stand was a bit loose so I reckon it was bouncing a bit and the side stand switch was cutting the ignition. I normally take side stand switches off my bikes as they can cause trouble when riding off road but I had missed this one. So today I decided to eliminate the switch, first I took the stand off ............ the springs looked shagged so they will be replaced Then I unbolted the switch and traced the wiring to the connector up under the seat and removed the whole thing I then cut the sleeving back and snipped off the connector The idea with this is too join the two wires and plug the connector back in to fool the ignition that the switch is still there. For small electrical jobs I use these soldered wire connectors You then need a concentrated heat source to melt the solder and shrink the tube around it. I use this plastic blow torch which works a treat .......... and the job is done , just plug the connector back into the loom and Bob's your Uncle

Is this the picture of you naked on a Giraffe

Cleaned my boots ................. and loaded the bike ...............

I'm in the garage prepping the bike for this weekends trip to Shropshire. I'm going to need a bigger bag , nothing to do with trying to fit this in you understand

So @Marcel with the superior genes thinks that us mods are dumb but quotes dum and dummer with a photo of Laurel and Hardy ...............

We need some pointers from you ............

Your charm knows no bounds

We both still have the niggly cough more than a year after we got covid.

It's a British thing , 80% of Brits don't like motorcycles and the twats don't see any of the benefits

Snap , but we had a starter first instead of pudding .............

It's for blokes with fat wallets and small willy's
