Broadway Car Park in Maidenhead, Berkshire, was closed in December, after moisture in cracks caused concrete to fall from the ceiling.

Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead (RBWM) council's cabinet voted to demolish the building after a report suggested the 1960s structure was "beyond its economic life".

Council officers recommended that the 40-year-old building should be demolished to eliminate any risk to public safety.

Snow on 'my' mountains yesterday morning as I left!!

Bloody gorgeous, and very close to being in resort!!

Skies were a bit grey, but as my mate picked me up, they were starting to clear so there'd have been a brief time of blue skies and snowy mountains before the snow melted!!

I'm riding at Portimao next week, but unlikely that the rear tyre will last the 3 days on track and all the road riding.
So need to buy a tyre in Spain or Portugal before the event.

Last night I Googled bike shops in Sevilla and Portimao and emailed 7 shops.

1 replied within half hour. Needs 2 days notice.
And 4 others have replied before I woke up. All positive.

Nice change from UK where shops never reply to emails.

That's one off the worry list

Why is the dual sport person carrying a spare leg?

(Not to mention there are no women riders ).

Gave blood today...always gives me a warm feeling, its a charitable act which is very hard for someone else to misdirect, misappropriate etc. Short of giving your time it's hard to be more direct.

Today though I felt especially warm cause my bag got a blue tag...

Apparently:

We’ve noticed that a fair few of you are proudly posting pictures of your blood bags emblazoned with the ‘NEO’ label on our social media pages. And proud you should be. After all, those bags have been specially marked up to show that they’re to be used for newborn babies.

Yeah #noshame.

Proud of my blood, but I really shouldn't be because I did nothing to earn it

Don't care, saved some babies lives

If you read the T&C's you're not supposed to give blood if you've ever had bum sex.

[Mr. Dazzle]

Nah they dropped that one

Still not allowed to donate if you've been paid for sex. Not sure if nice dinners count..

[Yorick]

Giver or receiver?

I just looked it up, it doesn't matter. However it's not a complete ban on bum love, it just means you have to wait three months after bum loving a new partner.

I've genuinely not seen low passes like that since the Hannas stopped flying. The photos do not do the flying justice at all.

One of my best pals on the island has just decided to buy a V4 Panigale in Manchester.
He flies over in a few days.
Then Plymouth to Santander ferry. Then ride to Cadiz.

Just told him I'm at Portimao and he said he'd try to pop in.
And he's booked on same ferry home as me

Driving up to Bilbao last weekend, the motorway is a toll road. I paid €33.45 on Saturday and €0.95 on Sunday to finish the journey, I paid with my Wise card. It looks like Wise give the toll company 7 days to take the money or the transaction gets cancelled. I've now had both amounts refunded to my card.

I'll be driving back though France in a couple of weeks time, I'll see if Wise can do the same for the French tolls.

Found a great local tapas place 1/2 mile from hotel.
Nice to see different stuff to the island .
It's a lovely covered terrace and every 10 seconds, about 20 jets spray over us

It's 34c and needs it

Fair play to him, I'd love to do something similar but that's a hell of a ride on a new sportsbike, my back and wrists wouldn't take it.

3 of the lads now have the V4.
I feel quite poor with only the Suzuki
