An extract from the Motorcycling Tourettes Handbook, and this goes back to having very little (or no) brakes 50 odd years ago. Position yourself outside the line of the car in front so you're very slightly inside of the centre line. If he's way over to that side of the lane then switch inside to use that as an overrun. But generally try to go for the centre line. Cos if somebody puts the anchors on hard you've got an exit route to overrun if necessary.....plus you've taken yourself out of the line of fire from the car behind you. Look at any vid of mine and I'm always in the centre of the road......because it also minimises the risk of getting clipped if some twat edges out from the side. A very dangerous place for getting shunted is coming off on motorway slip roads......always stay at the centre point of those particularly if you're stationary in a traffic queue. Or you'll end up as a sandwich between two vehicles!

You'll miss the Joe Joyce fight then?

Weather's pretty decent for me..... ......so I hope to get out tomorrow earlier in the day. Cos later on in the afternoon I've got to drive to Guadix to get my boy who's arriving on the bus from Madrid! Sunday not sure because we'll be having the grandkids at some point. What about you?

Fucking hell! that could have been very nasty.

Horses love that......horse people love that! I speak from experience having been dragged round by one for years.

That's what horses do Pedro! And they enjoy that life! They're not looking for a comfy sofa and a Netflix subscription!

Still raining there Saul?

Liquid Iron as a kid.......just rotted my teeth away.

I didn't have many teeth back then either!

You're lucky you didn't end up with a Hernia with it. The cough did come bask with me about 10 days ago but it's not as bad as the first time.

Are they getting weaker each time?

Like the 70's revisited!

You've got Covid Clive? How many times is that?

I'm 69 at the end of the month!

It looks fucking naff!

I've had two bikes at the same time on a few occasions over the years......and always ended up just riding one of them. The other one was always just sitting there!
-
Not at all......makes no odds to me! And if I kept the CB forever then that would be fine.....it's a great bike. But I do like the look of the new Transalp! And I still like the CRF as well.
-
Well you're in the right place to get a cracking deal on a Spanish registered CB500X that you can use over here! Even got 3 months manufacturers warranty left on it as well.
-
I think it's more a case of a number of bikes being bought within a relatively short space of time.....and then hardly getting ridden.

No.....it bewilders me!
