Skippy

Got to agree that the old CB1300 was a beauty and I loved my one even if it was a rather dull black.

I’d have @XTreme’s BMW so he couldn’t post pictures of anymore abandoned stuff. I wouldn’t accept any Harley as I couldn’t cope with the shame of it

This pandemic has brought their inner stupidity to the surface .

Someone who I’d count as not quite a friend but a good acquaintance that lives in the village came to my gate today and expected me to let him in. He’s vehemently against the jabs and spouts all sorts of conspiracy theories, he’s persuaded his wife and two adult daughters not have the jabs despite the fact that one has a young child and the other works as a teaching assistant. He stood there as said “well, are you going to let me in then and we can have a beer?” I politely said “no chance, you ain’t had your jabs”…………….he was offended and stomped off.

And a responsible adult in your case @XTreme

This Christmas will be spent eating, drinking and shagging. The first two I can do at home.

Right up your street @XTreme https://www.laopiniondemurcia.es/comunidad/2021/12/05/mapa-pueblos-alma-60334559.html

Sounds about normal for The Den. Some of the stuff that went on was awful; for example, I remember an away day to Bradford and on the way back on the train we pulled into Grantham station and it all kicked off on the platform. The train guard ended up being tied up and locked up inside his own cabin.

Did the same in the underground works car park. Forgot to take the disc lock off the front and went down like a sack of shit. Immediately jumped up, picked the bike up and made sure nobody had seen it. Went to work the next day and didn’t say a word. Didn’t need to as most people had seen it courtesy of the cctv operator. Didn’t know there was cctv in the car park.

I used to go and watch Millwall play during the 1980’s as I had a couple of mates from that neck of the woods. Absolute nightmare

I know

I don’t need more power off road and the Himalayan will do almost everything I need but………….I’d prefer a 600 on road and there’s the dilemma because ideally I’d have another XR650L but they were never imported into Spain and so I’ve no chance of getting one over here. That leaves a much smaller choice but if I can squeeze a bit of cash out of our house sale then I’d love another KTM690 Enduro R. With a different power modes it was manageable on the dirt with my meagre skills and plenty quick enough on road. The only thing I’d change is the truly awful seat………….

That’ll be three of us then. I fucking hate rain. It’s miserable stuff.

It’s only a bit of liquid sunshine, get yer waterproofs on and take an extra strong man-up pill…………..and if it’s not too cold once you’re out perhaps you can let me know in case I fancy a spin out?

It’s the Queens English, every foreigner should understand it. I mean, you do Pete.

People that won’t give a straight answer. That’s fucking me off at the moment. For example, I asked if someone had WiFi at a property we are going to stay at for a few days and the reply was “I’ve drained the pool”

I’d be up for a couple of days out and about but already got something booked for end May/start of June……….it’s only gender realignment surgery but I don’t want to miss it

For me it all depends on how much money I’ve got at the time of needing something but generally it goes like this as far as possible; Alpinestars for leathers and textiles Suomy and Uvex helmets Sidi boots for the road and either Alpinestars or Forma for off road. Klim gloves for the dirt and Spada for the road. ……………and any old hideous, cheap, gawdy coloured shite MX/Enduro/Trials clothing for the dirt. I have no shame.

It contains the full factory approved toolkit; a hammer, screwdriver and tube of superglue. I doubled its value by adding a packet of cable ties from the chino bazaar.

Just trying to help.

Don’t be too hasty @XTreme, never look a gift horse in the mouth

No mate, that would be far too effeminate

As a wife definitely but as a shag probably not. Mind you, her best mate wasn’t bad either…….now you’ve given me a dilemma @XTreme

Unbelievable isn’t it that they thought it was okay to do this.

I will do Pete
