XTreme

Is he still riding now? None of his recent shots seem to show him with bikes.

@Tym Castle alert!

I don't think so.....but she will have some pain in Spain soon when she has to deal with lazy Dagos on a daily basis!

Are you flying out @Slowlycatchymonkey?

No......just looked now, never heard of him. But I was never a Rally person.......no interest! Whenever I went away it was for race meetings.

I think if you want to sell or part ex a standard road bike now you're going to take a hit on resale value.

And the older ones are now finding things like the big GS's are too big and heavy to live with. So that market is going to diminish. However, middlewight Adv bikes are now flying out the door here.....I've seen 15 year old 650 Stroms up for 5K in dealers and they're gone in days.

All the more reason to step up the pace on "Operation PigDad". What you say @Clive?

You might not be the oldest, but by fuck you're the saddest with your fucking van and fake photos!

I don't own the name......I just altered the redirect.

I was just thinking about how something that was originally planned as an adventure/dualsport motorcycling forum has actually evolved! Because over the course of 17 months we've become a type of hybrid of a general motorcycle forum and an OAP's drop in centre! Never saw that coming.......guess it just shows how the demographics have changed over the years! But still.......if the direction of the site is driven by the members that has to be a positive! One person's vision and direction is never going to be a good fit for everybody. So if you know any other sad old cunts who are also past their sell by date then bring them in! Do you think it would help if we became www.sadoldcunts.com

If it was sub 200kg I may be interested!

Wow!

Other ghost Lancaster sightings......anywhere near you? https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/news/derby-news/mystery-looms-phantom-lancaster-bomber-4956693

These things exist for sure Bob. Have you done any research to see if there's any other sightings?

Lancaster crashed there in WWII: https://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ww2peopleswar/stories/51/a4965951.shtml

Is that the one in Almeria Ray?

It didn't look anything like this?

People say it's bullshit etc......but I know what I saw! Put me on a Polygraph and it would confirm I'm not lying! And as I discovered, many others have seen it to. After it happened the last thing I'd ever have thought of was it was an apparition......I thought it was just some twat fucking about.

Here's the plane incident: It was April 1995 and I was driving along a deserted road in the Welsh countryside......between Landeilo and Llandovery. It was a long straight for about 2 miles, and way up ahead in the distance I could see something above the road heading towards me. As I got nearer I could see it was a plane...it seemed to be greyish in colour, and no markings that I could see. As I got even closer I realised how low it was....basically about 50 feet (if that) above the road. I hit the brakes, kept watching, and I could make out propellers on the wings. I was slowing down, but not quick enough....and the plane was literally straight in my path. I kept my hands on the wheel but instinctively ducked my head as the plane seemed to pass literally inches over the roof of the car. The strange thing was that there was no sound, and no feeling of wind as it passed. I came to a halt, I looked behind and there was NOTHING to be seen. I put it down to a freak accident that I'd managed to avoid. There were no other vehicles on the road at the time. I told the wife all about it when I got home and just forgot about it after that! Just thought it was some amateur pilot who was pissing about or something. However, 2 years later I was living in Milton Keynes and reading a newspaper article about a ghost hunter who was listing his findings in different parts of Britain. And one of the reports was a phantom plane seen at the exact same location where I had that experience. And his description of the plane was exactly the same as mine. Then I did a search on the Net for further info...and I found this on the Paranormal Database, and there are many other references out there. Wellington Bomber Location: Llandovery (Wales) - Towy Valley, between Llandovery & Llandeilo Type: Haunting Manifestation Date / Time: Unknown Further Comments: A training zone for World War 2 crews, one assumes this phantom belongs to a group that didn't make the grade. So it appears, even though I didn't know it at the time, that I did witness an apparition which many others have seen over the course of the last 75 years.

Describe the plane and where exactly it happened Clive! And was there any sound?

They'll be watching him carefully now Keith.......and suspecting that their operative has switched sides!

He needs to fucking shape up Clive! All he needs to do is throw PigDad in the back of the van FFS!

Interesting......but how much weight will it be carrying?
