Pigs favourite social media site ...  InstaHam ....

Did school run then took the Himma out for a run through the Peaks via Penistone ...... Thats pronounced Penn’ iss’ ton ... not Penis Town as i thought when we moved up here from Falmouth !!

Get a Himalayan .... you know you want too ..

I had a test ride on a BMW R nine T .. loved the engine hated the bike ....

Can't go into hot tub until it's healed?  Is that because taking a bubble bath in a primordial cocktail of bacteria is frowned upon  

The “ Petri Dish of Filth “ as hot tubs are known in our house.

And Breath ...

I can vaguely remember the days my back could cope with drop handlebars. Not these days however. 

To be honest i never ride on the drops. I average around 5000 miles a year, mostly 30 - 40 mile rides, half a dozen-ish 200km timed events and we do either JOGLE or LEJOG each year in 2 separate 7 day periods... and i’m still overweight !!

Next big ride is Hornsea to Sheffield on the 6-7th or 13-14th May ...weather dependant as its an overnight ride with a bivi. 103 miles. 

Been out for a ride on the bike this morning .... this one ...

22 miles around the Doncaster Plain ..... home for brekkie by 1000hrs ...

I've made hundreds of journeys over the last 12 months that where essential only to my mental health ....

And over the next week, as i’m on holiday ... I’ll make lots more ...

Aahh, Mental Health ..Societies  current “ get out of jail free card "

fook off.... if this was calling all male riders it would be sexist .

 

 

 

But i thought you and I identified as female every May the 1st ... 

But ... insulting to women everywhere ........ OR ... Lets have the Guys Ride Out  .. 1st of June .... no Wimmin allowed ... 

I notice the Wimmin featured are all riding gay custom bikes ..... HA!

Topped the oil up on the Himalayan ... a long run always depletes big singles oil ... 200ml got it back to the top indicator line .

fook me... its the cast of Cocoon.

Closer than you think ... 4th from the left, head out of sight, is the stunning female with the peach shaped bum very like the one that we saw in the swimming pool scene in the film .... You can’t hide in Lycra ... 

We’re cycling it in September .. clockwise from Inverness ... Bivi sleeping, feeding via all and any sources ... 8 of us .. I'm the youngest ..60+ ...lol 

The British Olympic Cycling Team must be quaking in fear ....

This is us on the 3rd day of our Coast To Coast ride from Whitehaven to Tynemouth ... 140 miles ... the last 30 downhill ....

Rode to Swindon yesterday afternoon (Sunday the 25th) on the Himalayan via the M1 / A42 / A5 / Fosse Way from Sheffield, £29 Premier Inn night stop, rode back today, 382 miles, 11 dead deer, 17 dead Badgers...!!

Was amazed at the carpets of Bluebells in the road side forestry ......

Michael Schumacher .... your helmet was not designed or tested with an additional mass / moment arm attached to it ...

People are being killed that would have been fine if there had been a hard shoulder available. Bad decisions, stupid decisions about where to stop on a SM should not be a death sentence ...

I live between junction 31 and 32 of the M1 and daily travel from Junction 1 M18 to junction 29 M1 ... I see cars abandoned in the first second and third lanes weekly ... people stranded ON the concrete crash barriers .... parents and children huddling between the armco around bridges...

Corporate manslaughter awaits Highways England !

Took the bike to work today, longest route, removed the fittings for the top box, took a young friend of the family out for a thrash around the country roads for an an hour after he had finished school, lubed the chain, ordered a chinkie for the tribe, opened can of low alcohol beer (5%) ... Watched Frank of Ireland ..

So ... your all in favour of this ;

“ According to the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), the average learner driver needs 47 lessons and 22 hours of private practice before they pass their test. "

Thats cars ... if you believe there's a delta between them please let us all know ...

Wear ear plugs,  the wind noise in your helmet  can damage your hearing over time

Wear ear plugs, the sound of your engine will always worry you ... unless you can’t hear it !! 

Practice falling off and NOT limping into the house without your other significant shouting .. “ fell off again you twat” .... as she bursts out laughing ...

Now...

 

That would look even better with a TMBF logo between the top squary stripe and the neck and another one under the "think bike"  

Then same Paraphernalia on the front.

If you want to pretend to be a Police Officer just become a PCSO or a Special ... They’ll give you loads of dressing up clothes to wear ...

James; "with the help of people on here."

Surely you mean “despite the help of people on here"

1. Relax !

2. Don’t pay attention to anything said on motorcycle forums ... 

thank you chaps ,,,
