Re: The riding challenge game. Pic of your bike 'somewhere'
Prices for even not so old bikes are radio rental. I imagined (hoped) the values would fall because of the current recession,but it would seem the people who pay big money for recent classics aren't bothered by such mundanities.

I plan on winning that KH400 tomorrow night, so its good to know I can sell it on for good money after I've had a few weeks fun with it.

Re: The riding challenge game. Pic of your bike 'somewhere'
I took this one at the weekend of some snowdrops but didn’t get around to posting it so dern beat me to it
In response to his choice how about 2 for 1 ….. both moored opposite the site where a WW2 unexplored 250 kg bomb went off a week or so ago
Assuming that’s ok, next up is your bike with a static caravan

Fair play, I thought we'd get a canal boat!

That looks like a canal boat

Not in Yarmouth.
I think that that's the weekly chip delivery.

Re: The riding challenge game. Pic of your bike 'somewhere'
I'm stumped to come up with a suitable Gt Yarmouth insult, if I could it would be based on the high number of pikeys and drug dealers that reside there, it really is a wretched hive of scum and villainy, the Mos Eisley of East Anglia.

Re: The riding challenge game. Pic of your bike 'somewhere'
I grew up in Norfolk and alway had good memories of going to Yarmouth. Like its equivalents around the UK such as Blackpool, Skegness and so on, it's not classy.
Actually I take that back... I went on a caravanning holiday there once as a kid and I ended up with chickenpox and therefore stuck in the caravan with a black and white tv that just had Elvis films on on rotation as he'd just died... that proper sucked.

Re: The riding challenge game. Pic of your bike 'somewhere'
I had one holiday trip to Gt Yarmouth in 1987, stayed in Scratby, in a chalet for a week with my then girlfriend (who now lives in Gt Yarmouth) it was a good trip, including sex on Scratby beach in the middle of the day, so definitely not classy.

A mate of mine used to run a trailer park in Bacton in the mid-70s. I seem to remember Cromer as being the cultural high point of that section of coast.
There is no cloud, just somebody else's computer.

I quite like Cromer but I think that the best bits are between Cromer and Hunstanton. I could happily settle down in Wells.

Re: The riding challenge game. Pic of your bike 'somewhere'
I played golf in Cromer once. The only place I've hit a ball off a tee at a par 3 and the wind has carried the ball back, over my head to some distance behind the tee. Otherwise I thought it was OK.mangocrazy wrote: ↑Thu Feb 23, 2023 4:48 pm A mate of mine used to run a trailer park in Bacton in the mid-70s.

Bit too remote for me, I quite like Sea Palling, but don't tell Big Yin

In the last ten years it’s got worse as you can add to your list gangs of Eastern Europeans and associated other nationalities that have tried to make the southern half of the main part of the town their own enclave. There are many many hard working foreign workers there as well but the shit head element make it hard work as all the foreigners get tarred with the same brush.
The town is a shit hole now from one street behind the sea front and beach. The local villages are good though and still nice places to live, I just avoid the town now as much as possible

Re: The riding challenge game. Pic of your bike 'somewhere'
Sun was out and roads dry(ish) and I had a couple of parcels to post so I got out on the red bike today to scrub the new tyres in, first time this one has been out of the garage in a good 6 months...
It was cold but the old girl has red-hot heated grips and handguards, so I ended up doing a very enjoyable 80-odd miles.
I had my eye out for a static caravan- this is the closest I found - I think it can be called static as it's been sitting abandoned in a layby just outside Thame for at least the last 3 months or so and has only got one wheel so you'd need a low loader to move it
What do we reckon?

It's not moving, therefore it's static
