The local land owner on that lane has been know to put logs in the way so was wondering if he had been there messing about or it could have been last weekends storms blowing it all back onto the lane. As for preferring the XR over the Beta i cant really say i have a preference, i like each of them for what they are i didn't think once today on the dirt i wish i was on the Beta there wasn't anything technical enough. the XR wins hands down for the road work between the lanes and then the 650 beats the XR on the road i just like everything so no one gets jealous of each other

Bloody part just turned up for the car so i now know what i'm doing tomorrow

Car part didn't arrive so took the bike for an MOT, the fitter where i take it is now doing the MOT inspections and the fucker is thorough cheeky git put a throwing front wheel loose spoke and slight play in the suspension linkage down as an advisory its been like that for the last 15 years i ain't about to fix it now went home the long way. The road from the MOT station is getting a bit rough i think This lane was recently cut back by some horsey types the lazy fuckers left all the clippings on the floor made it a little hard going After going through this I picked up a few of these i had to stop twice to clear the crap stuck in the bike and once to shift some branches i couldn't ride through Went to check on a lane where i reported a tree blocking the road a few months ago when i got there it was cleared But a little further on the recent winds had brought another tree down Easy enough to get around down through here But then another down had to cut through the trees to the right to get around it, from here it was home keep forgetting how nice the XR is to ride on the trails

Supposed to be changing a bush on my car this weekend but the delivery date it was due on has come and gone maybe it will turn up tomorrow, Might see if i can get an MOT on the XR instead

I had the clutch give out on my XR a while back after struggling to get up a gnarly lane, it failed as i got back onto the road i couldn't touch the throttle as it would slip so i backed off all the adjustment at the handlebar and i got it to bite again but to get it right i had to back off the cable adjustment down by the engine as well it's been ok since no slipping at all

Yes i know Bob and these guys will argue their not doing anything wrong

One of the boys was out on the bike today and came across this, look carefully there are 8 vehicles in the photo

It was £15 but was very good, not allot of it but it was quality rather than quantity. I could have gone to a carvery and paid about £7 but there wouldn't have been lamb on the menu there

Sitting here swigging a few beers with my headphones on listening to Mark Knopfler playing guitar got to say his guitar playing in this this brought a few tears to my eyes, Gay i know but hey this is 2022 so apparently its ok

If it's any consolation its been pissing down most of the day here and the forecast is no better tomorrow either, you could say the weather has been almost as bad as a typical weekend in the Netherlands but not quite

One thing i wish would happen is for all staff in places serving and preparing food to keep on wearing masks, nothing to do with covid but to stop the grubby bastards breathing or dripping on your food
