Anchor 90Piesanhour I'm currently en route to Harlech. Where are you going? Edit: Just seen where you are going. I can report it's raining in Macynleth.
Djpekingman Anchor In my experience it always rains in Machynlleth. Used to be a Sunday retreat for a pint or two from Aberystwyth which was dry on Sundays.
Flaneur I'm in Anglesey and it's raining, hoping that it drops off and I can get these two mutts on the beach. I had some cake and coffee yesterday that blew my mind. It was like a jaffa cake in proper cake form.
Travis_Bickle Ken_Lobster I've never owned a motorbike and never will. Too risky for me. Too many knobheads in cars that might kill me. But I would buy a 400 Four with a yellow tank just so I could look at it.
Harvest I know very little about motorbikes but before I existed my dad had a BSA. I like the sound of that, BSA. I still have his old gloves from the 50s/60s, I use them when I'm cutting back the spiky pyracantha in the garden. Gives me the look of Doctor Nefario from Despicable Me.
space My Dad had a Vincent before he got married. My Mums brother died on a Triumph 2 weeks before I was born. Brother had Z250. My two sisters had a Superdream and a moped between them. For 20 years of my life I spent every penny I had spare on bikes. I won't let my kids have them though. Fuck dat.
Ken_Lobster space Same here, My eldest who is 28 said she wanted one so she could go riding with me. Told her no way is that happening ! Far too dangerous . I never ride solo now ,such as commutes etc . All leisure riding with a group of 3 or 4 . Much safer that way ,more visible .
CharlieG There's a lot of horrifically bad riding up here in the Lakes. Lots of stupid, middle aged white men on cruise missiles with wheels. Mid life crisis whoppers in search of a road side shrine...

CharlieG A week in Skiathos at the beginning of September. Just back from taking the eldest's dog for a walk in the pissing rain and thought " Fuck this for a game of soldiers".
Under-the-ground Linen suit from Asda £66. Going for a Luke Haines, Lee brillieux, slow horses, down at heal man from delmonte vibe. Means sleeping in it for a few weeks though. Mrs utg says I will look like a prick. She thought I was joking. Can’t go wrong ?!
CharlieG Under-the-ground Hmm. Always fancied that look meself. Might have a gander - pair it with some sort of fedora-like titfer for wandering around the bars of Skiathos.
Ken_Lobster Under-the-ground No it’s a great look. Lee brilleaix looked ace. So does Tom Waits . Suits gotta look lived in Baxter dury likes a suit as well
