Accessory beaks

The answer is YES
It's the only explanation
Took my K6 (currently for sale but I may change my mind) for its MOT last week. Tester says he will fail every bike today. He did. Headlamp aim too high. TWAT Then passed it.
The Universe conspires against sane individuals just to piss them off. FACT.

Yup, unfortunately more so for some than others

TalkTalk is a ridiculous name for a company that so far has no way for it's customers to talk to it. (FFS)

Been looking at some bikes and sick of the prices for some real tat in the dealers.

I Agree

Eating prunes keeps me regular. Or is it frequent...?

Eat enough of them and it will be "incontinent".

On my way to the Hawes meet last Thursday I stopped off at "Squires" for an all day breakfast.
Well ....... it was bloody awful. The bacon was stiff like a new playing card and it could have been a Pringle ( I hate them ) if only it hadn't had all the taste cooked out of it. The two sausages were shrivelled , hard and tasted so bad I only tried a small piece. So that's why they call it an all day breakfast .... they must take all day to cook it.
It was truly dreadful and I for one will not be back unless I take my own grub with me.

Excellent moaning.

I steer well clear of the place whenever possible. I've never had anything decent to eat either. The bacon sandwich was riddled with fat, the burger was appalling. I even took some of the burger home for Bucket, he wasn't impressed either and he used to eat eat sheep sh*t in his younger days.

Morrisons' supermarkets are the answer.

I wasn't aware that you knew of any eateries that were open at the right times.

My breakfast was OK from Squires on the way up (but then, I will eat pretty much anything), but after five Full English breakfasts at the digs and two fish suppers complete with portions of deep fried Wensleydale and deep fried Black Pudding I thought it best I ate something healthy when I got to Squires on the way home..................Carrot Cake.

TLPower · « **Reply #2333 on:** May 29, 2019, 12:54:44 »

Hence Morrisons.

Beautiful biking weather here and there's me stuck with a swollen knee

On the up-side it happened last weekend when I took my 14 year old daughter on a bike for the first time to a car/bike show - and she liked it

(That's two kids converted, one to go

)

I agree with TLP Morrison all the way and they have fresh pies in store as a snack between stops but if you do find yourself on the A59 near Skipton the aptly named A59 cafe is a bikers cafe and cook your breakfast fresh and as you like it well worth a stop if you're in the area

What is it with people using the moaning old git thread for positive things - if you can't be moany then go find another thread. Hurumph.

Sorry.........

Going back to clothing my rant is motorcycle cycle clothing confusing sizes and all seems to be for young skinny kids not fat old 50 something like me never get the waist and leg length correct always have to go size larger then it just looks awful.

Same with helmets we haven't all tiny heads don't these manufacturers realise that the only people who can afford motorcycle are the older generation and we are not stick thin

How much bigger is your head now than it was 30 years ago? Mine's pretty much the same - a smidge smaller due to hair loss, maybe. Legs the same length, waist 2" bigger.
