Sir Fallsalot

The dog was due an oil and filter change after the last ride. Decided i'd ride the ridgeways to the heads of the valleys and back to warm it up it's about a 40 mile loop and quite scenic, it was cold and just started picking to rain as i left but i had my heated jacket and winter gloves on.Headed up onto my mountain where i came across a road closed sign in the middle of the road, i just went past that with my i'll decide if the road is closed on not head on this is why it was closed Not sure if there was ice around last night this is a steep hill with S bend on it you can see where the car hit the tree on the left in the above photo and the one below is looking back up from the car Almost lost the bike in the first big puddle on the byway and had to take a big dab ended up with a soaking wet foot and only 5 minutes in. As i headed to the ridgeway that runs from Bargoed to Pontlottyn the weather got colder and wetter if that's at all possible in Wales LOL As i headed up onto the ridgeway rain turned to sleet then snow good job i wore the heated jacket as it was below freezing up here and my left foot was fecking freezing after the soaking. It was difficult to see where i was going even with the pin lock when i got to Pontlottyn i decided to head back across Merthyr ridgeway the original plan was to come back along a ridgeway further east but it looked brighter Merthyr way but it wasn't much better The horses here must be hard as nails I got home slightly damp with a frozen foot but that was the only part of me that was cold, the roads are dry here there's a hell of a difference in weather in only about 9 miles as the crow flies. Oil and filter is done as well.

Take Six with you, word on the street is he's good at making children disappear

Cant you just work when the weather is shit and ride when its sunny, i thought that was one of the advantages of being self employed especially when you don't have to leave the house to work.

As a company we charge £50/h for an engineer £45/h for a supervisor £40/h for a electrician and £35 for a labourer but we don't do an hour we do half day minimum, we are a specialist company though and don't do house bashing. I think a one man band outfit would charge about the same as what you paid if you could find a reliable one that is

How long was he there

Yes still going on every year

Look at this fucker that's the type of thing i'd end up doing https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/gallery/huge-999-response-rescue-motorcyclist-9123989?fbclid=IwAR0EZbfWv2ZuaVl0_BD8w1mYeE-70q1Q0Yk2IebPU-ogT9t9g6bZlNQjV7w

Nothing like that around here now Bob all been closed down. We have a new track on one of the spoil tumps from the open cast in Merthyr And there's Bwl motocross track but i think that's only a practice track

It amazes me how many people in general feel they shouldn't have to do any maintenance and it's always someone else's fault when it goes wrong because they didn't do it.

There's some good fishing in this thread at the moment i knew i would rope you in

On the beach photos are classed as cheating more than photoshop, i withdraw my entry

no stick the first one of the dog in

What makes you think we don't

See if he will let you test it out for him Bob lol

There were plenty of those in wales, but you have to remember where the EU got that money from in the first place

No i did use the public bogs my point was when i flushed it probably went straight into the harbour Proof the bogs exist

Went to Saundersfoot for a dump today. Was thinking of curling one out over the harbour wall and cut out the middleman LOL. Then i headed home to the dentist for a filling my mouth is just starting to feel normal again

Funny enough i was saying that today. they are building these concrete monstrosities one side And the other side is this

You will have to show me before and after photos when it's all together as i can't remember what it looked like

You might not say that if you rode it

If it was this one it was the same day i prefer the one above though

£3700 for one here, Only time will tell if this new strain of Chinese bikes are reliable and if they are i think every other manufacturer will have to take a serious look at what their selling their bikes for, although you will always have the die hard brand fans

I've been out a few times this month but not taken many photos i have this one of the Dog Or this one of the XT

Good photo let down by some discoloration on the down pipes that me out
