When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?

A Scotch bent your bike?

You'll never get money out of him to fix it.

Copper wire was invented by a Scotsman and a Yorkshireman arguing over a penny.

My pal dropped a Euro coin. It hit me on the back of my head.

2 of them were from Barnsley.
When we got yapping, the others had no idea what we were saying.
The suvverner was a Unix Sysadmin. When we got yapping the others had no idea what we were saying

Had an amazing 2 days with pals from Fuertaventura. Unfortunately, the lad who pranged my bike yesterday had a massive anxiety attack after 5 minutes into the ride. I took him back to the road and he was able to ride back. Then spent the day in the sea.

Great lads and they've invited us all over there.

Rare pics with me in. I'm normally the cameraman

Rode over to La Santa to watch the surfing competition.
Then to Famara and our fave snack bar

How do you know it's not an ST2 or even a 3?

A tidy looking ST4.

He's had it about 4 years inherited it from a good pal who died.
He keeps mentioning getting summat newer, but it's got sentimental value.

Another stolen moment today.
9° but I was only in jacket and jeans,so it felt bloody cold after a while.

Got out on the SV650 for a much needed winter ride



The mid day sun doesn't get very high at this time of year but at least it's shown up today



The current state of the road surface around here isn't the best for grip,but some lanes were a lot worse than this




I bought this little Suzuki for rides in 'sub optimal' conditions & as a cheap & cheerful run around it's been great,definitely one of my better purchase's

Took the RE out for about 50 miles today. Got a bit cold towards the end though. Roads are pretty shitty but doable at an RE pace.

Ending with a packet of salt and vinegar and a pint of Christmas cracker at the Tiddly. Nice to get out though.

Brilliant day for December,into double figures here. I went out on the bike twice today,just because.

Similar weather over here,I rode the SV to the seaside (Southport),can't remember when I last rode it on consecutive days

[mboy]

Only on my drive, but been out and got it dirty... The weather's been too good not to quite frankly for December!



Had some good fun with friends sliding about on the back roads, avoiding all the fresh potholes, gravel, muck etc...

Great brekkie and a coffee @ Shobdon Aerodrome cafe too...

All clean now and ready to go back in the garage...

Went out too, not ridden the bike in months but had a an hour or two spare.

I've stayed at Shobdon Aerodrome a few times while on solo biking trips. It's a great, quirky place to hang out with friendly people and small planes taking off and landing regularly. The first time I stayed there I asked what time the bar shut and they shrugged and said "Whenever the last person leaves". I think the roads of Herefordshire might be the muddiest in the country.

My poor judgement got the better of me. Saturday was sunny, but the roads turned out to be far from dry. Infact, absolutely filthy. I knew I'd have a job on my hands washing it after. But, it was a nice enough ride out in the sun over to J&S in Oakmere. I had a few moments on the slippy roads, enough to scare me actually. Almost worn S22's maybe didn't help. Spent the rest of the day getting it cleaned up. Tucked away for another month now.

I always enjoy those little stolen moments,yes the roads are rubbish,but you got out and that's a win.

Down a dark road, up a darker lane to a dark church. No ghosts though. Maybe my bright lights scared them off!
