I think I've broken my foot by squashing it in between a roundabout and my engine.. don't ask how. Can't even get a shoe on or walk so no riding for me for the time being

How did you do that fool?

Well, the round a bout in question is raised up quite high and has a concrete kerb going the whole way round it. I wasn't paying attention because of some rather lovely wobblies on a jogging woman, and sort of missed the roundabout went straight on and slid my foot along the curb crushing it on my footpeg against the concrete and my engine. Not any better today. Stupid mistake. Much hurt. Ow.

Glad to hear there is a damn good reason for it

I nearly rear ended a car on the bike doing the same thing, a lass walked right in front of me, my head spun round like an owl, fk I looked up and see the car infront was now stationary waiting to turn right. Fire the front on and done a wee stoppy nutting the tank.

Popped into Bristol very briefly yesterday morning to have a mooch round the bikes & cars at Queen Square.


The RD350 seemed to have had a few mods and lots of shiney bits added. Sounded good.


Note to YBR owner You may find that HD you sat & rocked on without the owners permission is protected by extreme violence. Pop over to Fowlers and sit on their bikes next time.

Some other bits from last Thursday at Wincanton:
Guzzi powered Triking - looked a lovely build


Made me chuckle (show plate, obviously..)


A minty McMint RE5

That looked like a good gig..is it a regular meet?

Yup, Bristol is every 2nd Sunday in the month, Wincanton every Thursday at the Hunters Lodge Inn.

Pooling a wheelie..?

Well at least it would stop the engine so it didn't do any damage to anyone/thing...

Shadow R1 said:

Good luck with it mate.

Is the full event to cross the channel ?

Yes mate - Relay team of 5 - Solo next year is the plan for my 40th

theshrew said:

Great effort

Bet you cock was like a turtle going back in its shell in that water

You're not wrong - Balls only just dropped back out of the stomach today.

R1gtr said:

That looks freezing....fair play, is it normal practice to wear a full length wetsuit or cover yourself in Lard when swimming across the sea?
You still at the Cycling?


ETA I was going to make a joke about your cock reappearing by mid week sometime but someone has beaten me too it

Edited by R1gtr on Sunday 13th July 22:19

Have worn wetsuits for Iron Man/Triathlons etc but the 'test' of the metal with Official Channel Swimming is not allowed to wear a wetsuit otherwise it doesn't count as official, put Goose fat on Saturday but it made feck all difference.

No cycling fad is over and Strathpuffer box is ticked although will be up there Jan 15 to help a lad out who is doing the solo.

Went out for an overdue but short ride on the R this evening. She's just so angry and vicious, wants to lift at every moment, and her twin Termis just rip like a chainsaw through the air... who needs drugs, just get out and ride.

The proposed advancement in water-cooled engine technology receives a "No!" on Dragons' Den when asked to pool their resources.

Is indeed, a very different track the opposite way - all falling away from you.
