Skippy

I resemble that remark

There’s a first time for everything

I reckon I was on my second Suzuki Hayabusa 17 years ago. Awesome bit of kit and I’d have another in a heartbeat This is me on a track day at Donnington Park, surrounded by proper track bikes and I didn’t give a shit………my grin was wider than the Atlantic Ocean. ‘Kin ‘ell, that was faaaaaaast

Looks wonderful Michelle, good to see the Himalayan running properly

Forgot to say that track days with hire bikes at Cartagena circuit is also a possibility

Will do

Okay mate, give me a day or so and I’ll pull something together

Absolutely mate, they use old school XR250’s which are perfect for down here or alternatively they can provide guidance and help sort the logistics of staying down here if you bring your own bikes. It’s all very laid back but if you wanted something more extreme then that can be sorted too or even full on motorcross holidays. The good thing is there’s so much legal off roading down here that it’s never busy and as long as you stick to the trails and tracks and don’t tear across open countryside then the police are fine. You often see the Guardia Civil out on their XT660R’s down here. If anyone does think about coming down then let me know.

I think I’ve been very lucky Michelle, so far I’ve had no problems with it at all………mind you, now I’ve said that?

You can’t beat a bit of stereotyping.

Well spotted. Clearly not Welsh or there would be sheep close by

They are a great bit of kit!

Yep

Me on my Himalayan and a mate aboard an old Yamaha XT600E went exploring today around and north of Lorca in the Murcia region. The temperature was a manageable 32 Celsius and the trails were very easy going, including part of the route of the Via Augusta, which was a Roman road that went from Malaga along the south of Spain, up the eastern coast and all way around the Mediterranean to Rome. We didn’t go quite that far but it still made us feel like centurions. I managed to have a little lay down as I turned the bike around and slipped on some deep gravel. A graceful dismount was met with rapturous applause. Anyway, enough talking, here are some photos of questionable quality………

Sad news indeed.

Not unless I was forced to. I was picking up a bike from the KTM Centre in Hemel Hempstead and had to catch the train from Crewe to HH and my mate said he’d pick me up from the station and take me to the bike shop. The wanker turned up on his bike knowing how much I hate going pillion. Had no choice so I clambered on and off we went. Possibly the worst 15 mins of my life.

That doesn’t help but it’s the attitude of the players and managers mostly. Throwing themselves around isn’t gamesmanship it’s cheating and it really fucks me off and the managers are no better because they encourage it. Cunts all of ‘em

Well seeing as they were the only team out of two that played yesterday that got beat I guess that makes you Sherlock Holmes? I love the game but hate what it’s become.

Definitely mate but my team got beat yesterday on the opening game of the Premiership so I’m keeping quiet.

Exactly Pete………..riding the Himalayan is fine now but that CBR is still a bit much

Fuck that, it’s waaaaay too hot for me to be riding anywhere let alone off road. Mind you, once it drops to 30 Celsius I’m up for it.

Some people can’t help themselves can they.

Don’t know about that mate as it’s a couple of years since I’ve been up there but I wouldn’t be surprised. Not only that but they’ve closed some parts of the Sierra Espuna park as it’s a fire risk.

I plan to laugh my cock off when my cunt of a neighbour takes his newly purchased scooter out. Just because he’s on two wheels now doesn’t make him less of a cunt.

Yeah it ain’t kind on tender knackers
