A gauntlet of fair weather boys in the petrol station this evening.  Went in the shop just before me and made a predictable, lengthy, and frankly embarrassing scene when asked to remove their helmets.
They eventually did.  So I pay and exit, the bikers are now sat on a nearby wall smoking fags while one said "Geoff won't be long he is only coming from widnes".  So they were clearly intending to wait anyway and just wanted an excuse to argue with the garage guy...

I must admit I wont take mine off, helmet off , ear plugs out, its a faf, I will take mine off when everybody has to have their head and face exposed in petrol stations. I am all for fairness, same for all is no prob. If they wont turn the pump on til I remove my helmet I just lay the nozzle on the ground and ride off, they have to come out and put it back.

I think all your hard work has really been appreciated, I have not been ivanised but met people who have and they were really impressed with your skill.
Thanks. ( least I can stop saving up for it now ).
Enjoy your travels.

After the trials and tribulations of last weekend a dry breakfast run for the ST was the order of this morning. The service at The Chalet at Cowfold is excellent in the middle of winter, unlike from Easter onwards. After chowing down the healthy option, it was a quick B road whizz over to Bury Hill for coffee and a natter before an A29 blast home.

Whats the healthy option there ?

Great job, nice thread, cheers

What gets my goat is BREXIT...what do you lot think ?

In Morrisons they have got olive oil cheap too, so I am getting a few litres of that. Fuks the engine but smells like an Italian restaurant.
and lard to lube the brake caliper pistons

All Tescos garages are doing it though.

People who are gender fluid are not gay, they were born in the wrong body. Their genitals indicate one sex, while their mind may indicate another. It really really is none of our business.

Its true it is non of our business, unless we have to pay for it, special toilets in school, gender neutral police uniforms and the head doctors needed when this lot are 40 and realise the world don't revolve around them.
And I object to being told I have to fit in with this, when you fill in a gov form now the list of choices is mindblowing.
Interestingly it doesn't seem to be a problem in countries where they are too busy working to feed themselves.
I would like to point out I have not mentioned gay people in any of this.
Its just the don't knows !!

WTF ???
beam me up scotty
I cant believe all this shit about being a man or a woman or neither.. maybe I am too old for this world

Its just a roast dinner ! I mean I aint a misery but really ? nice to get together but its a bit crazy now.
Robbo. It was a grand more than I was expecting.
oh well, 

I hate it all too, bloody tech crap, no one does real stuff anymore, and the e mail thing drives me mad, subscribe to this subscribe to that, and they ask you to fill in a survey before you have even received the goods/service !! I think it will go tits up soon, I think more and more people have had enough.

Like the thread about blipping the throttle, WTF ?

Not the person asking the question, no one knows everything, the crazy answers.
I think maybe a forum is an easy arena to be misunderstood.
Its like texting, if you know a person you can imagine how they would say something, but with strangers its easy to be misunderstood.
Having said all that, I am both a fool and dangerous, but not a bad sailor.


That was my thread.
What do you mean by your comment. If this isn't the place to ask questions about our bikes or riding bikes, then where do we go to?
I was never taught it in my bike test 7 years ago or my car test 20 years a go. I mostly ride by myself (i have no friends ) so where would i pick up this information?? 


Obviously you now everything, but when i thought sailing i always explained that the person who said they now everything about sailing is either a fool or dangerous, reckon the same applies to bikes. By the way which one are you?


Sorry for the thread highjack.
