You shouldn't have to. Beat the cunts senseless


I know a large 2 metre Scottish chap who now has a criminal record because he beat the living shit out of someone he found trying to steal his bike. If you are going to get medieval on folks in the UK,sadly you better not be clocked doing it ...

Surprised no mentions so far. I've been busy last few days so seen nowt yet.
Apart from pisstaking with Sweaty mates.

Currently in a very local Portuguese bar, surrounded by Russians watching Egypt lead Belgium.

Big surprise earlier by Spain being shit. They're my spare team :obscene ...

Had a pleasant early afternoon driving through the mountains in SW Portugal.
Not the perfect roads for pulling a trailer but I had time to kill so just plodded on and enjoyed the scenery.

The mighty Duster has got a bit of waft and coped well with the extra 300 kilos

Arrived here for next 3 nights

Mandem is slang used by wanna be gansata dickheads not a name.

I heard Taipan using that name for his pals

Wowsers. What a great 3 days. First 2 roasting but didn't hamper the riding.
Today cloudy and track not as hot.

Felt as though I was riding ok and had a few tussles along the way ;) :obscene-birdiedoublered:

Never chase lap times but at end I asked for best lap and was same as last 3 times.
So ...

Check the video, and note the claw hammer he's carrying, and this is what a grinder did to a 16mm Almax in that time. I did have a 19mm Almax, but sold it as it didn't go through the spokes on my XADV.

That's a shitter.

Is that in your back garden,or the front of the house?


Front, right outside my bedroom window. Look like kids to me. Theyre doing the rounds locally according to the local crimewatch pages.


Is there no way of keeping the bike around the back?

Owning an NC750X is all ...

Run out the door and shout...

Do you know who I am?

I'm Ronnie Taipan Pickering

That's a bit scary

Knee down, peg down, toes down.

The bugger won't go over any further

We've had a Hayward Atlantis Plus for about 3 years now - very happy with it. Cleans the bottom, sides and water line.

Can you just leave it in?

I have been one a ferry in the Bay of Biscay which was VERY uncomfortable, with spray over the top decks and the ship having to slow down. About 200 bikes on board, none moved although one (very old) bike had a bent sidestand. Don't worry about it, just enjoy your trip.


I had a very bad crash ...
