Buckster beat me to it

Your depravity knows no depths

Test yourself every 2/3 days Fred, if you're still negative then you're good to go

I used to ride a 640 Adventure, I'm 5'8'' and I managed ok.

If he won't play on the lycra front, let's see a photo when he had a real bike. The KTM640 ADV

I dunno, whay don't you ask Gaylord, I mean Buckster

It's going to be pissing down here apparently, typical British summer then

I reckon this is more his style..............

I must be getting old, I actually quite like that................

That is feckin 'orrible, it has none of the classic Sportster lines .

There's a guy up in the North-East who has imported five from Canada, 2019 and 2020 models. He is asking £7,400 for them (on the road price), if it was nearer to £6,500 I'd be on my way to collect one . Me and my mate (Sarge) have looked into importing a few times but it's cost prohibitive at the moment , if we could find someone in the States to store 5 of them for us for a year and fit used speedos so they look like a second-hand bike then it would be worth it as then the tax implications would be far less.

A 600-700cc single in trail-bike form is the perfect bike for me. Enough ooomph to get you down the road but light enough to pick up when you toss it down the trail........... All hail the mighty Donkey

So is he in Linford Christie's league................. asking for a friend

I put Italian expresso in mine (Lavazza at the moment) and top it up with boiling water so a bit like an Americano, does the job for me

Pedro, have you ever thought about carrying a small thermos flask with coffee , then you don't have to go in places you don't like the look of. I rarely leave home for a ride without mine nowadays.

It was about 22c today, we don't get a lot of mosquitos around here, it was the horseflies that were trying to munch on me

Those puddles are all new to me Pete, a Drove is a 'way' where cattle and other livestock were driven to market in days gone by.

A bit further on and it started to get a bit sticky, there is no gravel surface under this grass, it is pure peat and with the amount of rain we had yesterday it was slicker than a Beavers back end. The fun bit is trying to guess where the tractor ruts are under the grass so that you don't tip over in them............. After heaving my way though my thermostat started reaching boiling point so some clothing was removed and I made it back to terra firma. I carried on to do some more Droves which were pretty uneventful and then came to the North Drain. The North Drain does exactly what it says on the tin in that it drains the water off the Levels, there was a big shoal of Roach basking in the sun........... I started to head north now and back towards home, here you can see Nyland Hill (an extinct volcano) in the forground and the Mendip Hills in the distance as viewed from the Levels.......... Once I got up on the Mendips I stopped near Priddy at a convinient tree stump to sit on for lunch........... I had a quick look at a campsite (for future reference) and then made my way home. There will be some bike washing to be done tomorrow.

Not a great deal of words today as I'm going all Pedro-like. I went to have a look at some new (to me) Droves on the Somerset levels today. On the way I dropped down over Burledge Hill where there is evidence of some great lane management.......... Up over the Mendips and down through Wells, Glastonbury and Street to get to Somerton and onto the fun stuff. You get miles of this..............

It looks like some 5 year old designed with his lego

I nearly forgot this one. This lovely young lady came down for a magazine shoot, as you can see it was a very hot day. Unfortunately for me she came on my day off.......

The Somerset levels.............

Did you ride any of them, are there any photos ? Asking for a friend.................
