We are the last of the breed as far as motorcycles are concerned , kids now get a scooter and then it's straight onto a car. Several governments have done their best to eradicate motorcycling in UK, the narrow minded twats don't have the vision that our European neighbours do

We are off to Cardiff in a couple of hours . Going to the Welsh National Opera to see Il Trittico (Puccini) . Later on we are meeting up with one of Paolo's friends (Domini) , she used to play Viola in the WNO but is retired now. I just hope it's not the usual clusterf*ck on the M4 around the Brynglas tunnels.

Where are you Bob , hope you're Ok ?

Not really my thing but back in the day I was asked by a prospect of Satan's Slaves if I could 'help him out with something' I politely declined and made a hasty exit, there is no way I wanted to mixed up in that sort of thing.

Great game between Poland v Austria , full of passion and commitment . England , take note ...........

The 'Wandering Elderberries' sound cool

From this I deduce that you're not a Kane fan Ray

There speaks the voice of an experienced everyday rider

What a load of rubbish , lets hope Italy do better than that lot .

Here we go then ……

In the hospital

Lucky Serbia................ and obviously it was the woman commentators fault

You should have watched Germany v Hungary, it was a bloke doing the commentating .............

That's the Italians fault, they started all that marlarkey.

It was a good game , Portugal had to fight hard for the win

He might bring his ‘mate’ from Morocco if you’re lucky

That’s what you tell us ….

On the way home I rode through the New Forest ........................ and then did a cheeky lane in the Wylie valley The Sled ran like a dream, the perfect bike for these sort of roads.

I had a pass out today so I decided to take a ride down to Hampshire to have a look at the new premises of Rugged Roads. Headed for Shaftesbury and then took the B3081 to Ferndown which is great road. I stopped in Ferndown for a coffee and sausage sandwich ............. Rugged Roads don't really sell bikes (apart from the Kove rally bike ) but they have a great showroom full of clothing and parts for your adventure bike . I bought some new gloves while I was there ............. My mate Andy popped by as he lives quite close so we decided to go for a coffee at Sammy Miller's which is also close by. they also had some Harley Davidson's parked outside ..............

She's about to borrow your bike there ................

Yep, sweating on top of rubber sheets. Some MP’s would pay good money for that sort of treatment

Typical Honda fork lowers. What you could do with those is rub them down with fine wet & dry paper , spray silver and then lacquer . The alternative method is to ship them off to SIX30 wheel painting services Ltd , although I wouldn't guarantee the work

So you didn't go for sloppy seconds then Fred ?
