Re: The All New Megathread
I shudder to think of how he will exact what he feels is just revenge on the people that stopped him four years ago. He will undoubtedly want to go down in history as the man that "stopped" the...

Dull and gloomy, if mild and still here. Felt odd on my relatively short ride yesterday - early afternoon but everyone had their lights on...
Month end for me again so not much chance of anything...

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Got out for a ride today wearing my new lid. Even though it's a flip front it is a lot quieter than my old full face Arai, partly down to the chin curtain I guess. It was certainly worth waiting for...

Re: Bohemian Trumpsody
That was entertaining. I had a look in the comments for that one, expecting a lot of grief from the MAGA support base. Oddly little to none in there.
Personally I find him a repugnant human being...

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?

Re: The All New Megathread
Wet here today too from mid-morning. Thankfully DPD still deliver in the rain and the new lid I ordered at lunchtime yesterday arrived at Trev Towers at 11 today. Much to Lady Poppy's amusement I...

Hopefully the Alpinestars textile trousers Lady Poppy has promised me for my birthday will also rotate into their 35% off category soon. It will be nice to have some strides that let me do up the top...

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Not sure if any of my neighbours saw it but I had to smile at the clouds of smoke coming off Bullseye when I started him up today far a ride out. I had no idea ACF50 would do that to such an extent....

Re: The All New Megathread
Lovely day here at Trev Towers so decided to make the most of it and ride to the garden centre instead of driving. Need some more Jeyes Fluid. Was munching my breakfast toast first though, as you do,...

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
The Wizard of Oz is on, and Lady Poppy is watching it as she's bafflingly never seen it before! Now I've had a few (cough) shots of Famous Grouse I'm quite enjoying it too.
We're off to see The...

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
My dad was told he was more likely to die WITH it than OF it, but his PSA is now in the hundreds, his last scan showed it rapidly spreading and he's wasting away fast. He's had over a decade to get...

GWS to both of you Gary. I've got a bit of a sniffle coming on after a few very tiring days on the road with work combined with a trip to see my parents before getting home late yesterday. Hopefully...

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
I had to argue with a "nurse practitioner" or some sort of not-quite-a-doctor to have my last PSA test. Bafflingly, a mate of Lady Poppy's was a receptionist at a neighbouring surgery to ours and...

I feel utterly cream crackered. However, both cars are now washed, dried, and hand waxed ready for the rubbish weather.
Bullseye was also treated to a wash yesterday, his first ever since purchase...
