Your bike, in the garage/shed, with a sandwich.

It’s just a simple game to add a another bit of fun to the ride. It’s not supposed to be particularly difficult, just interesting and fun. Chill.

OK... here's an idea. Your bike with a field of flowers. Not just a garden.

I'm in Cornwall so it'll be a doddle, but I'll stay out of it for a while unless you lot get stuck.

It's just an idea to move things on. Weeksy?

Your bike with a flat battery should be pretty easy.

Asking people to get a pic with a classic bike in a country where no fucker with a classic bike takes them out of the garage from November to March due to cold/ice/salt/corrosion/devalue makes it mission pretty much impossible so dont get the hump :thumbup:


Some snowdrops popping up here so that might be doable ;)

I wasn't out on the bike and I didn't see any flowers or Kawasakis.

I live in the frozen north, and there's snowdrops in our garden. That's as far as I've been today, it's cold and windy, the roads are still greasy and the bike is SORNed. I am a FWB

It was greasier and windier than I expected, I had the front wheel slide on a roundabout, not much, but enough to think "oh shit"

Obvs, the bike may have looked only just off vertical, but it was on the edge.

Meanwhile, talking of old Kawasakis, an acquaintance has just sold this at auction

Me and my mate thought it was worth about £5K
