Sir Fallsalot

I think that's one of my jobs today i'ts filthy after yesterday

I've done the clocks in the house but i forgot about those i have four to do plus the cars and can't remember how to do any of them. I still don't know why we need to keep changing them now just no need anyway that's my chores for the day

It was one of the roads i was hoping you would take when you were over here, you were so close to it when you came off the military road

It's here only a short one but it was bloody slippery and it don't get much better in the dry weather quite deceiving.

My tracked route is 173 miles, my speedo is one of those ones that boosts your ego as it runs fast, that shows 197miles i think i need to get it fixed LOL

While you lot have been stuck on here all day having dick swinging contests lusting after pictures of each other some have been riding their bike all day Too knackered for a ride report so a few words and lot's of photos, My ride took me to Tregaron and back The route A couple of lanes around Sennybridge area Epynt ranges with the mock German village in the background and lots of Pete's exes hanging around Taking a shortcut to Abergwesyn Abergwesyn Pass the road is like this all the way to Tregaron one of my favourite roads and the dog is the perfect bike for it The long way to Llanddewi Brefi, no gays there today they were all on here flashing flesh Heading down to Ffarmers noticed i missed a few lanes here when i looked at my route at home i shall be back. Found some abandoned shit for Pete when closing a gate there was a lot of abandoned shit everywhere heading down to Pumsaint Heading up over to Porthyryd, i forgot this lane has about six gates to open two of them on a steep loose gravel climb after this i was feeling a bit knackered so i just headed home via Llangadog and over the black mountains which now has speed cameras as well as a 40mph speed limit cant see me using that road much in the future. I ended up going down to Neath and doing a few more lanes around there and then home.

Like an invisible motorcycle and trailer or something

You have to share the love even if its just for a fleeting moment

Admit it it was you wasn't it

Just finished my new wheel spacers for the dog turned these Into these

Me to LOL

Yes always, the auto decompressor must have been on as it rolled forward enough for it to roll off the stand

No Invite for Pete then

After fitting the rear suspension back on last night I took the dog out for a test ride today i was going to go out last night but it bloody pissed down, went up over my mountain as there's a good range of different terrain up there. I noticed the difference as soon as i pulled off the bike now glided over small bumps on the road hardly noticing them at all, with the old shock fitted they felt quite harsh and the front of the bike didn't feel so loose either, it's a bit hard to explain but for a long time now the front has felt very light like there's no resistance at all just didn't feel quite right, well that's now gone. When i get onto the mountain track i was instantly surprised how good the bike felt on the rough surface, the suspension just soaked it all up even the front seems to be working better. I was heading east as the sky wasn't looking too good coming from the west and was following me a the whole time i was out There was a lot of water about and the ground was still quite slippery the suspension didn't do anything to help that I stopped to take a photo here on a nice leafy lane Only to have the bike roll off the stand it's a bit steeper than the photo shows. When I got on the bike i found the fall had twisted the front end a bit I had to stop at the next big rock to straighten it out and then the next post to knock it back as i'd gone too far on the rock. Look at the weather behind me that's the way i'm heading when i get up this hill onto Manmoel mountain road. And this is what i'm trying to stay n front of This is looking into the Ebbw valley towards Aberbeeg. There's no bent on that road it's straight the curve is due to the panoramic photo I wanted to check out a track off Manmoel mountain road to see if its still ridable i went down and took some photos for my records on the way back up last time i was here this was all enclosed in tree's I got as far as Brynmawr when the heavens opened and out came a hail storm so i took shelter under a bridge until the hail stopped but got off the bike the wrong side and when cocking my leg over it got caught and me and the bike ended up on the road luckily the car coming seen me in time and stopped, what a bloody old plonker. After that i decided to head home as there was no sign of the weather behind me getting better and i was heading further away from home so would be out in it longer when i turned back. Ended up going down the Ebbw Valley i haven't been through here in a while in the old days it was a nightmare but there's a bypass now so a much more pleasant ride. I got caught in a few showers on the way back but they were not heavy so got home only slightly moist. I have a little bit of fine tuning to do with the shock and then it's see how long it lasts.

We are allowed one Shirley Bassey on the top of a closed wheelie bin

Had a little test ride on the dog with the new rear shock fitted today, first thoughts on it are very good just hope it lasts. I might get out for a proper ride tomorrow on it, Sunday is Easter rising a sort of mini rock festival thing at the local club, bands all afternoon until closing time i think we are going to that, Monday i will probably be recovering. Oh and if it's raining i nipped down the scrap yard this morning to pick up some stainless steel bar so i can have a go at making new wheel spacers for the dog, the surface of the old ones are rough and damaging the seals so time for new ones.

Like a different bike much better on the road and it just smooths out stony tracks feels really plush, although on whoopy stuff i found it easy to bottom out but i was going a little fast over them, its set up for me by them and haven't touched the settings it came with, i might have a little play with it to see what happens. Overall though i'm well happy with it i wish i had spent the money years ago.

Did you get hacked by Marcel because i don't understand what the hell your on about

one to get Pete's photoshop senses tingling

I'd say it's the dominator the early ones had kick and electric start and that swingarm is steel all the XR's are Aluminium. Also the XR frames are tubular steel rather than box section steel from the swingarm mount up and that's definitely a dominator sump guard.

There's only so much photo shop can do
