XTreme

Fuck.....that's going back a bit! What you say @yen_powell?

That's amazing Terry!

What time is it there Michelle?

If Spain do the same I'll be getting another one then! Was there a problem with the Jansen for them to need another jab?

When? Last week?

Is that a Messerschmitt?

Great stuff Yen! That dealer looks a bit of a @Six30 type to me with that markup!

Don't mention swimming to him FFS! He'll post up pictures of him and his slaphead mates splashing about together in a swimming pool.

People have seen old hunting dogs hung from trees as well! Fortunately I've never run into that myself!

Looks great there Ray......love the XT!

In September 1986 I was living in Swansea and riding a Z650. I'd never been to Spain......and knew nothing about the place! Over in Spain, those were the early years of democracy following Franco's death in 1975, and it was round that time that Japanese motorcycles were finally allowed to be imported. The population were migrating to the cities looking for work, which is why so many things are abandoned in rural areas. I'm sure in many cases the original owners can't be traced, so these places are just left until they eventually collapse into a pile of rubble. I've visited many......but never one like this! It's been abandoned since 1986 cos I found a magazine with that date in there - in fact this is one of the few where I can actually pinpoint a date! Warning......some of the photos and parts of the vid may be unpleasant to you. They are to me......and to be honest, I wish I'd never gone there! Watch the intro to the vid and decide if you want to continue! This is where it starts to get hard....... Three of them were locked in, collars still attached, and left to die! They were small Podencos! Worst bit is over......but I was still upset by what I saw! And of course I didn't know if I was going to find any more! Time to go.......that was enough for me! And as you see, there was even a bit of offroad action to get access to it! So that was it! I've rescued a lot of animals (mainly dogs) in my life......but sadly, I was 35 years too late to help them!

Get in your fucking van!

Well I'm back from an episode of Dark Motorcycling! The darkest so far in fact.......because it involves DEATH! So wait for the report!

I don't go out over 30.......and it's not exactly cool at that point!

The crackling sound on the 9 wouldn't be a deal breaker for me cos I was always put a soundtrack over the vid. The overheating on the 10 would be a deal breaker though.

I dunno.....I thought the criteria was that it was a Covid death if it had contributed to their demise.

@Skippy.....I think the Sanitorium in Sierra Espuña is off the cards! Seems that there are Forestry Security Patrols in place and these guys got their collars felt! I think we're too old now to outrun Security!

That's amazing Terry!

Here's one I remembered.....it goes back to 1980 when Graham Bonnet was in Rainbow with his "James Dean" look! I thought that look was great and as my hair was pretty much like that anyway I just got myself a Hawaiian shirt! Well me and a mate went to the Talk of the Abbey in Neath on heavy metal night......all Neath subhumans who looked like Lemmy there. And me with my Graham Bonnet look. I went to the bog and this fucking huge twat and his mates came up to me and say "You're in the wrong place mush.......you better fuck off now while you can". I thought......here we fucking go! So I went to find my mate to give him the heads up......and he'd gone up onto the balcony and was standing by the bar there. As I was telling him there was a problem I accidentally hit his glass over! It started rolling off the bar, so I dived forward quickly to grab the glass, and in doing so my ass must have swung backwards! I felt a bump from behind, and as I turned round I saw a pair of feet disappearing over the top of the balcony! Then a smash and a lot of screaming coming from below! It appeared that at the very same time I leant forward, the subhuman who'd threatened me was walking past behind me! And my ass had hit him clean over the balcony and he'd fallen 20 foot onto the tables and floor below! I said to my mate we'd better get out quick......he said I gotta go to the bog first. When he came back he told me that guy was laid out in the toilet, and all his mates were going "See that fucking poof in the Hawaiian shirt out there! He's hard as fuck.....he just threw (whatever the bloke's name was) over the top of the fucking balcony".

If retailers drop the Hero 9 to about €300 then I'll go for that. I know the 10 is better......but I doubt it's nearly €200 better!

Or Black Friday......late November!
