Sir Fallsalot

Our ride leader cleared the way for us through the bushes and caught his nose on a bramble he had some leakage

Yes it was a tad warm definitely out of my comfort zone, I usually like riding stuff like that in the winter cooler and less vegetation.

This is even lazier than Pedro's picture report This is some video of our ride on Tuesday if you care to watch, Its a bit long but shows the type of terrain we ride oh and the music or noise as i call it stops after about 2 mins not my video BTW. I make an appearance about 9:40

I prefer this version of it

He used to be in Merthyr i was wondering where he went

Last day tomorrow so i'm out on the bike all day the heat will probably kill me but needs must, Back to work Wednesday got a feeling i'm going to be asked to work weekends as the job i was doing has fallen behind hence the reason for going out tomorrow

Good news @Swagman My blood glucose was up to 78 in February and the last test i got it down to 43 eating the most bland diet ever because i just don't like healthy food, my next test is in 2 months don't know what that's going to be like after working away for a week and 10 days isolating as i cant seem to stick to any diet when i'm not in work as sad as it is work gives me a routine that i can stick to

Lovely place Canterbury i haven't been there to look around for about 30 years it's one of the places i used to visit when attending the Kent custom show back in the late 80's. I did have a flying visit in 2010 when i bought my CB1000

My issue with lithium batteries is when people fit them to bikes that were not designed to use them, yes they work when everything on the bike works 100% but when things are not quite right with the bike is when the problems start. I recently read about someone who had fitted a Lithium battery to a 2017 Africa Twin which didn't come fitted with one from new. He said he was riding along and the bike just died not a single light on the dash and he had to get it recovered. When looking into the problem he found the battery had gone into safe mode and was unrecoverable so a new battery was needed, once fitted he then found his bike wasn't charging the battery because his reg/rec had failed and in his mind that was why the battery failed but in reality it was the other way around the reg/rec had failed because his battery had switched off while the engine was running. Lithium batteries are fantastic when used on what their designed for but i wont be changing the lead acid for lithium on any of my bikes. my 2016 Africa Twin is still on the original battery and when that fails which could be any day now i will be replacing it with the same one.

I think the T700 is going to be the next transalp everyone seems to have them now as they seem to be good at everything. The TRF big bike ride i was looking at earlier had 9 bikes on it, 4 were T700's and when i was coming back from north wales a week or so ago i counted 17 of them going in the opposite direction all covered in dirt. Although now i think of it they might have been from the yamaha off road experience it was up that way

Can you edit that and take out the profanities i think playing tonight on repeat could help with the kids insomnia

Don't forget to use the F word a lot if your in the Swansea area you'll fit right in

He's got a proper bike as well or is it another googled photo

This is almost as bad as @XTreme's pubes photo i mean socks and sandals ffs

Thanks Bob have a good weekend

Thanks @Buckster have you been saying i'm gay again

I was the same they are all photos i googled

I had the 1986 first year of the gear driven cams what an over engineered bike i put over 500000 miles on it, It got me into a lot of trouble over the four years i owned it mainly because i was a fucking idiot Mine was the same as this and i would definitely recommend one EDIT just noticed the wheels are wrong colour they would have been white from the factory and no silver on the tank Like this one

What year @Clive

At the age of 16 i foolishly swapped my DT175 for a Honda CB400N thinking i'd get a better deal trading it in for a 125 to do my test on that was my first big bike it used to do 80mph in second but could only pull 90 in top i was like an idiot on it would i recommend it fuck no it was damn ugly and no dream, same as this one

That's not the worst, look at the fucking weather i cant do do fuck all in, typical

Just a proper man flu the kind women don't understand so yes

Well it don't stop you from catching the virus I've had both and been dying from it all week

That's pretty much what we have
