  1. When i was talking to the guy from Spain i asked why he moved here, he said for work as he could earn so much more here then at home and the work conditions were better. He also said he's lived a in few places over the years but he found Wales the best place to live so far and really enjoys living here said its a beautiful place to live, I really wish Pete was here to read this He works in a Lab making Enzymes for use in medical research for things like possible cancer cures. I think that's what he said lol
  2. No they were all with lamb or pregnant, Believe it or not we do have some morals
  3. The day started with a friend (Adam) picking me up in his van, no promise of sweets but a ride was going to happen for sure LOL. He was arriving at an ungodly hour for a weekend 07.30, so i was up at at 06.00 to make sure i would curl one out before we left. Stopped for a bacon and egg rolls on route and arrived at the meeting place just after 9 full and ready to go. The two other lads we were meeting turned up a few minutes later. They were harder than us as they rode the hour and half up to meet us but they arrived freezing cold as it was -2c, the van was definitely the best choice today. Adam was leading the ride following a route i plotted the other two lads i had not met before one was from Swansea and the other i think Newport way but originally from Spain. Both on KTM 690's and Adam was on his GASGAS 701(KTM690) and me on my old XR. I ended up leading everyone to the first lane as Adam was having issues with the overly complicated way he was trying to navigate the route. After whipping through the first lane I hung around here as i noticed nobody was behind me, the ground was rather muddy and slippery and the two lads when they caught up were no longer complaining they were cold We stopped for mike to sort his handguard out which had worked loose and Adam took the opportunity to work out the bugs with his shat nav and then took the lead Done a few really mucky lanes and stopped in Erwood cafe for a coffee. We had been riding for about 2 hours but only covered 14 miles due to the sloppy ground conditions Erwood Cafe was an old railway station, the track has been taken up but the platforms are still there not much to see. After the Cafe we headed up onto the Llanbedr Hills where the trails opened out and were far less muddy, but the grass was deceivingly slippery so had to take it easy with the throttle. Look at the chemtrails, where's @zzzak when you need him LOL Further on Mike found out just how slippery the grass was when his bike flamed out and he tried to bump it on the fly ended up binning it and had to remove the loose hand guard as it was now hanging off. Look at that beauty best bike there LOL Adams Shat Nav went AWOL again and we missed this lane, he seemed a bit miffed when i said lets go back and do it especially because he got stuck there LOL Then mike decided to swap ruts and dropped the bike again. i couldn't put the stand down to help him so took a photo instead Halfway along the route we stopped at the service station at Crossgates for dinner bikes were a little dirtier than the other bikes there. After our bellies were full it was an 8 mile road ride to the next lane and our furthers point from the van. A lane called water breaks it's neck named after the waterfall on its southern end. It's a great lane with fantastic views but a hell of a lot of gates to open and close. Jose showing off again i don't think he's worn a front tyre out Adam decided he didn't want to do the next few lanes around new Radnor which i was a bit disappointed about and if i had rode the bike up instead of going in his van i would have split from the group and done them on my own. Travelling all the way up there to miss those seemed a bit stupid to me, anyhow we skipped them and moved onto Black Yatt which is pretty much the same as water breaks it's neck but with a lot of large puddles to go through. That's it for the photo's, the ride back to the van was a constant cock up of navigating with Adams overcomplicated shat Nav, he passed lane after lane and we ended up getting back to the van all on the road but it was still a good day. Now i have to go and ride the route on my own to do the lanes around New Radnor and everything else that was missed to fix my OCD issues. LOL
  4. I didn't know six was this old, (make sure the volume is on) https://www.facebook.com/share/r/18MrfhWvyr/
  5. And i couldn't have given you any notice as i only decided yesterday when one of the lads messaged me are you out tomorrow. Far too early to be up for a ride though 0C and waiting for my morning calling LOL
  6. A pity you can't use that photo in next months BOTM without being lame eh Bob
  7. Forecast is great so tomorrow i will be staring with some van action and then styling and profiling on the XR with one or two others from the TRF. Sunday will probably be a recovery day. Planned route
  8. Perhaps it was the blind man that was fingering her in the street, Probably thought he could smell the fishmongers had a prod to see if it had been gutted then bang, a black eye
  9. And none of his ten mates had a camera Im beginning to suspect they were all fictional characters created to disguise his weekend of debauchery in north wales
  10. Me a couple of times but i only have one photo. Didn't you go to the dragon this month
  11. Have a good make fitted and you will be ok. Make sure you put a corrosion inhibiter in the heating system once your happy its all sealed. And a magnetic filter
  12. It gets better, the new flush valve didn't seal so had to swap that this morning for a different make so that's done now. Decided to put a new bog seat on while i was at it so called into B&Q to get one but when i got home it was grey instead of black ffs. Took it back and had a mess about with the return because i didn't have a receipt, even though i was only there 30min earlier they couldn't find it on their system. Anyhow i got to change it, wondering how i made the mistake of picking up a grey one i double checked, the display one was marked up location 4 and all the seats in location 4 were grey. Then i looked at the display one again and it said the only colours they came in were grey or white yet the display one was bloody black so ended up with a different bog seat to what i wanted as well LOL.
  13. Boilers good it's got a ten year warranty on it and serviced every year, anything wrong with it is an easy fix not like the piece of shit i had before it. Its the heating system i'm worried about, it's at least 25 years old and a lot is buried under floors that will be difficult to get at. There's a few places i can see evidence of leaks where the copper has gone green below compression joints but are dry. My thoughts are whats leaking is so small it's evaporating so i can't see it, i think its got to leak a lot worse before i find it. I did find a leaking hot water pipe while looking for the problem it was wet around the compression nut but dried out as it ran down the pipe that was an easy fix just quarter of a turn with a spanner sorted it.
  14. Please tell me i need all the help i can get
  15. Off work today as i had to visit the dentist this morning for a checkup, or should i say so they could take money off me for the sake of it. I've had a productive day so far, i weighed in some scrap, fitted a steering wheel control interface in the marmite wagon so i can use the buttons i thought i could live without on the steering wheel, took the boy to his training course and just changed the flush valve on the upstairs toilet which has been driving me mad these last few weeks, i originally thought it was the fill valve so i changed that and it was still dripping, the drip, drip, drip, in the nights was driving me insane, so this week I've been turning the water off to it every night to stop the drip, which then led me to the real problem. After turning the water off overnight i found the tank was empty in the morning the flush valve seal was leaking slightly and when the level dropped in the tank the fill valve opened causing the drip, fuck me i can see why the chinks used water torture in the past. Now all i have to do is find the bloody leak on the central heating system, i haven't topped it up since fitting the new boiler about 8 years ago but this last week i have to top up the central heating system daily and i have no idea where its going can't find any wet patches anywhere.
  16. I think @Six30's brother nicked your scoot @boboneleg https://www.facebook.com/share/r/14hYecsdFp/
  17. I thought that at first as it was in the cold outside bit of the garage but the last time it died it was in the warm inside bit and has been since, i shall have to kick it out in the cold to see if it does it again.
  18. Well i left the battery disconnected for a week the voltage was 13.23v at the start of the week and it was 13.23 at the end so reconnected the battery and after 2 weeks the voltage is 13.20v so not sure what is going on with it.
  19. How is it only now i have discovered this little arrow that takes you straight to the quoted post. god knows how much of my life i have wasted scrolling back through the threads
