Out and about 2022

If those are the guard dogs how'd you get them to allow you in? did you bribe them with gator chops?

Oosshh, Dave thats crap mate! i'm lucky enough to not have had it yet, being a type 1 diddlybetic it can be a bit sketchy for me!

To be honest its kind of just been a standard North of England, wet and breezy day, nothing too mental apart from a brief spell when it was howling for about an hour. Some places have been smashed to bits with estimates coming in around $260billion in Florida I heard  on't wireless earlier.
I snorted down the phone whilst talking to a mate in Charleston about 50 miles east of here on the coast, who's also from 'oop Norf,' when he said "We 'avent 'ad much, in fact, I've witnessed worse wind in Wetherspoons"........
Coffee down the wrong hole in me lung and a 'snort, burp, coughing fit' was me for the next 30 seconds.
 He drops em in just at the right moment the sod

I had to call him back .

Those look like let em in and lick em to death guards to me!

Not gator chops but they do like a halibut pellet the buggers, the dopey black one was found on the motorway just roaming about a couple of years ago, Luna. The white one is such a sweetheart bless her. Kiya. Always by your side and always looking at you . She's a pals dog and as good as gold, I'm looking after her for a dew weeks while he harvests and gets things squared away at his dad's farm.
Luna on the other hand is as thick as mince and just bobbles about all daylooking dazed.
A wicked pair and really good company when you're on your own as I am...........great listeners

Dogs are always good listeners. Who else would we talk to?



A bit off topic here but as it is now October, I suspect this thread will be curling up by the fire with a large red wine.

Thats a good fringe

Great ride out today, really quite warm for early October.
I'm not into Harleys at all and know sod all about them but this 1951 was an absolute stunner. There was also a very, very nice VFR 400R, on a K plate, so 1993 is or there abouts. I was on Kitty the 500 K1 and Graham took the 750 K6.

I never got Harley's either Julie until I hired one for a week when I was on holiday in California 7 years ago and then I got it. They are lovely bikes for the environment they were built for, long straight roads on a hot, sunny day with a long distance to travel at cruising speeds. I don't get it over in the UK though and especially on our tight roads and weather with all the cleaning they require to keep them looking nice. Each to their own though, my Jota can be a top heavy handful on bumpy, tight UK roads as well!

I'm with Dave really on that one, however..................beautiful NC30, in the right colours too.

Gotta love a bot of HRC magic. Had about 5 of those, love em (heart emoji)

Yeh but Jotas sound better

True, I agree.........................................and thy take a great deal longer to dissolve

It's been some time but found the time to get the 750 out of the back of the garage. Fired up almost instantly run ok apart from a slight miss if I give it a first full at about 4000rpm.

Blimey young Mick, I thought you'd moved to somewhere no tinternet 😂😂😂😂
It's a bit late in the year to start playimg on your bikes, have you put snow tyres on? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Nurse Julie]

We've been out riding a lot recently, making the summer last as long as possible.
Out on the Mongrels today, I had an indicator lens fall off somewhere on our travels😂😂😂😂 but other than that a perfect ride with a lovely breakfast en route.

Quite right! Make the most of it! A bit jealous here we’ve run out of weather!😂 not given up hope entirely but the 550 is away for winter.
