Skippy

Funnily enough, none of them live in what you would describe as a Brit ghetto.

A better day today……..nobody tried to pay with their phone. Instead, had a blast along the coast between Mazarron and Mojacar with some mates on an assortment of bikes. Stopped in Palomares at the site of the plane crash back in 1966 that nearly ended in a massive disaster. All rather sobering but not as depressing as @XTreme’s fetish for abandoned dwellings.

Every cloud has a silver lining

Don’t be stupid, I’m a professional.

Stopped at the garage first thing this morning to grab a baguette to have for breakfast. Stood behind some young woman who had picked up a couple of croissants and wanted to pay for them using her smartphone. Despite repeated attempts to pay resulting in more aggressive tapping of the phone on the machine it didn’t work. I’m hungry and wishing she’d just fuck off but no, now she decides to try every fucking bank card in her purse. None of them worked and I’m proper grumpy now but still managing to resist the temptation to grab her croissants and eat them in front of her. Only when there was no other option she gets some REAL FUCKING MONEY OUT OF HER PURSE TO PAY.….. Still resisting the urge to assault her for her two croissants I had to laugh when the bloke behind me pointed out that my baguette was probably stale by now.

You nasty twat.

Sadly I’m still here. Nobody else would have me.

Well I’m doing proper fuck all tomorrow apart from basking in the glory of another win. No idea what’s happening with me but won the individual Division 2 competition (only by one point but hey, a win is a win right?) and our team managed to come second in the team event. …………even better we won the rugby, c’mon England!!

Playing golf in the morning followed by beer and England rugby in the local pub………God knows what after that but it’s unlikely I’ll be operating any kind of machinery on Sunday. Might get the leaf blower out if I’m feeling energetic.

Started as usual with a good walk with our dogs and then I went for a massive full English breakfast with a mate who won a couple of free brekkies at some event he went to. Got to say….they were absolutely lovely and I haven’t needed anything else to eat all day! Went from there with the same mate to get his vintage go kart seat reupholstered at a scruffy back street shop in a local town. Top quality work at bargain prices! Home in the afternoon to cut some bushes and walk the dogs again in the early evening. We’re all in front of the log burner now and guess what, I’m the only one in the house that’s awake. No change there then.………..live football on the tv it is then!

Looks like a great place Saul

Just speak very loudly, maybe shout a little, it always works when dealing with these foreigners

Hey………….my pants were fully upright

I may never recover.

The first one was because @XTreme had his wallet out and the second was because I was weighing up how to nick that new Transalp.

That’s true that is

Yep they sounded great, mine had some carbon fibre race cans on it and it used to set car alarms off if I went past to close. When I started it inside my garage the bloody windows used to rattle so much I thought they would fall out!

There’s more chance of @XTreme not going on about his gender realignment than it raining.

Don’t be tempted to throw your leg over too fast mate………..riiiiiip

They certainly needed treating with some respect. To be honest, I didn’t have the talent to push it too far, but even for an average rider like me, it was a great ride.

A fairly short wheelbase, loads of power and less than clever rear suspension unit.

So many to choose from but for sheer, scary, balls-out attitude it has to be my original TL1000S. It gives me a stiffie just thinking about even after all these years.

It’s a CB500X official accessory apparently.

It’s part of their DNA to be cranky.
