XTreme

Rugged Individualism!

The smell of Castrol R always reminds me of the sprints they used to have in Merthyr back in the 70's.

We'll need evidence of this bike riding without a support van.

I dodged the bullet zzzak!

I use that electronic thing I bought......much easier!

The final season of "Manifest" is now on Netflix!

17c and rain here!

Explain how I took away Six's opportunity to move abroad?

You can't I'm afraid! That window of opportunity has been closed!

Back from Albox......but one of the shops was closed! So no frozen food this time, but we've got our teabags! Called in the chemist here on the way back and saw Tony the Tools......he's sold his Tiger and bought a new XSR700.

Off to Albox!

I think she needs some help @Six30

I left Swansea 12 years before I left the UK! By 2005 I was in Llandrindod Wells!

The basic 300's are imported here!

No.......only @Renegade's crew in Cardiff!

Yes it is unacceptable.......but not as unacceptable as noncing!

Is that Riders of Bridgwater? I remember going there in the 90's but I don't think it looked like that?

I think you'll be pretty down if it goes Clive. I've only done 2000 miles in the last year but at least it's here! So it sort of gives hope that when it eventually stops raining (hopefully before the wall of heat comes down) I'll be able to get out and ride. It's the only tangible connection between me as I am now and my younger self. If that connection gets cut then what I have got going forward?

That's a voice over zzzak!

Still coming down! And that sandy dust from the dust storm that we had 15 months ago is still here!

There are no more tea bag runs.....they became full shopping trip runs in the car!

I tend to agree with that.......it's not just a fact that you won't have a bike, it's more that something you've had all your life is ending. If there comes a time it has to happen through age, illness, or infirmity then it's your body telling you no more.....not your wife. When I first met my missus in 1982 I told here I'll always have bikes until I physically can't do it any more. The only time she gets wary of me going on a bike is when I meet up with somebody.......just in case I start being stupid!

I've got an old set that I bought second hand here for a tenner about 15 years ago. I used them on the Divvy and Fazer for the teabag run and they were fine, but they'd interfere with the exhaust on the CB.
