A picture a day... biker banter (Vol 6)

[s p a c e m a n]

Belongs to an old lady running a market stall on Gozo island, was telling me how their government is trying to make them scrap all of the old stuff and go electric. Her words were it's all a load of rubbish how can buying new stuff be better than keeping all of the old stuff running, felt like I was having a ulez conversation thousands of miles from home

That does not sound like Yorkshire fare.

Berts Pizzeria & Cafe @ Brandesburton, East Yorks! Highly recommended!

Oberammergau. Not the prettiest part, but just where I parked.



Ski jumps at Garmish Parkinsomethingorother. Been skiing for 61 years, but I wouldn’t tackle these.

Nothing to say ‘a picture a day’ has to include a bike. Stopped off on Salzburg in Julie Andrews’ tracks and spotted this sign near the Doh, a deer, gardens. For all the world it looks like a warning of pedophiles ahead - he’s even got the weird hat and the kid is tugging away.



Presumably it means something else…I assume.

Anyway, back on the bike after that light relief.

Herr Zeller: Something wrong with your bike Captain?

Georg: Yes, as a matter of fact, we couldn’t get it started

Herr Zeller: Karl, fix Captain von Trapp’s bike so that it will start.



Didn’t realise it was just a cycle path now, honest mistake, missed the sign. But did get yelled at in German…ah well. Not much changed in 85 years then

You haven't really taken the right bike!

I had to get my cat put to sleep yesterday morning..

I needed to get out and be by myself so spent hours on little back roads around my way. I stopped here to pet some horses while having a smoke

Sorry to hear that John. A few hours alone on the bike (which looks mega by the way) is a good idea, hope it helped.

The ownership experience of this Norton hasn t been great, the whole recall with the awful communication soured my opinion of the bike and I just got to a point where I wasn t sure I could be arsed with the hassle.

Then I got it back and took it for a ride and it reminded me that it s not very powerful and the engine feels like an old Perkins, the switchgear and gauges are outsourced to the cheapest bidder and it vibrates like a spinsters bedside table but

I can t help but love it.

So nice to have a salute from a fellow member

Sorry to hear about the cat too. I burst out greeting at work when I heard mine had to get put down by the vet on the phone. I'm about to have it again shortly I think with one of the O/Hs. It's pish.

Sorry to hear about that. It’s a big enough heartache when they go from old age, really horrible when they have to go before their time. Time heals, a bit…but it takes years. Not much else to say - go for a ride, have a drink and toast the cat (on that order).

[srob]

Yeah sorry to hear of the loss John. An hour pootling on the fizzy remembering will have hopefully helped.

Sorry to hear about your cat BN. It's always sad when they go.

Aren't you interested to see how far the new bike can get on the jumps?

Washed the sturdy girl in anticipation of a few hours on the M6 for Dave Day 2 tomorrow. Barrow in Furness here we come: THOUSANDS OF US!

(yes, I live at number 13)

Picture was yesterday, took a ride out to Clarkson's pub.
