We want photos of this shit or it didn't happen.

With me it was seeing the Rockers and their bikes in Swansea Fairground throughout the Summer of 64......I was 10. As I was always there they'd all chip in a few bob for me to watch their bikes for them......and to sound the alarm if anybody (like Mods) got too close. A couple of them even let me sit on their bikes at different times......and that was pretty much it. I was hooked. I then used to watch the motorcycle racing on Saturday afternoons on World of Sport (or it might have been Grandstand)........always supporting Bill Ivy! Took me until 71 when I left school to be able to get the money together to get something....22 quid for a TV175 Lambretta! But it was a start. And 50 years later (inside) I still identify as a Rocker/Greaser. Because when you learn your trade within that mindset/culture it never leaves you. Yes....I ride an "adventure" parts bin special......and I do a damn sight more with it than the adventure poseurs and hipsters do with their cutting edge shit. But I'm still a Rocker/Greaser! So is @Renegade........but he's a toothless one!

This was my "scrambler" 40 years ago.....but mine was silver!

Where's the "Did it break down?" option for the Beemers?

I said "Scramblers".......you must have just missed out on that era by a couple of years.

There are those who choose to take their bikes down Death and Dismemberment Boulevard Tym!

Brilliant! ? I just cringe at this "Adventure" word.......but that's the word that it's become necessary to use for a site like this. Go back before Long Way Round and we used the term DualSport......which I much prefer. And if you went long distance back then it was classed as Touring. Now it's all "Adventure" Well I don't see much "Adventure" going on round this way.......yet the area itself is made for it. The only one that I know of besides myself who ends up in bizarre, obscure locations is a Spanish FB friend of mine (Diego) in Murcia......he's another old guy and he rides a very old F650GS. I do see armies of dustbin-clad Beemers sitting outside restaurants all day though!

What got you into boats in the first place Bruce?

Has he touched on Roger the Cabin Boy?

All your boat is going to get you is a dose of the Golden Rivet Bruce!

There's no problem in the world that can't be sorted out with Solvol and WD40.

All I can add is that it needs cleaning! That'll sort it out!

We're rugged individualists Fred! So none of that malarkey will be going on!

.......but it'll always get you home! Unlike a KLR.......which isn't capable of either. Now a fully kitted up Beemer might get you a blowjob......but as for getting you home you just gotta take your chances. @boboneleg's T700 won't get him a blowjob......but it'll definitely get him home! It's a Yamaha after all! However.....@Sir Fallsalot's Africa Twin will definitely do both! Unfortunately the blow job will be from a man! ? Have I called it right?

You'll have to ask him about the time he rode a few thousand miles across the US in order to shoot somebody he'd argued with on Cycle World! Hey......we've all done it!

Have I ever mentioned that @Tym's unstable Michelle?

That guy's a lunatic driving like that on those roads!

Done @boboneleg

George Carlin was THE MAN! Nobody will ever reach his level!

Course I do Bob.......what can go wrong?

Carediff! Bunch of thick twats! This is the treatment that my kind would get there!
