Somehow the addition of a fender extender to the V-Strom Suzuki Bikes UK gives solidity and peace of mind. Comes from knowing that front of engine cleaning is halved.

This is the exit (only) from a Texaco fuel station. The speed ramp is placed 5 feet away from the road you're joining. Come on, are you morons? Sadly this is common, the assault on common sense is beyond words.

Everything in the world is gloriously meaningless.

Can a Lenor bed get any fresher? A deep question for our troubled times.....

"the UK has had the lowest level of investment in the G7 for 24 of the past 30 years." Successive cheapskate governments have led us here and yet all we're promised is lower taxes, but actually higher in the long run. Get a grip.

I don't believe you, it's just the same lie peddled out again. Pathetic

A man does not really begin to be alive until he has lost himself. Until he has released the anxious grasp which he normally holds upon his life, his property, his reputation and position.

Isn’t it odd that anything exists? It’s most peculiar. It requires effort, it requires energy, and it would have been so much easier for there to have been nothing at all.

Serious point to this posting Oxfordshire County Council this image was taken over a year ago, but since then have reported the terrible state of a junction in the centre of Henley on Thames on Fix My Street. I still await a response 2 months later.

Spoiler Alert. Coming next Monday. For me, a personal "Coming Home" to a manufacturer and engine layout that has haunted me since I first rode one in Thailand in 1981 and subsequently owned in the mid 1980's. This is the retro version. Any guesses?

We do not 'come into' this world; we come out of it, as leaves from a tree. As the ocean 'waves,' the universe 'peoples.' Every individual is an expression of the whole realm of nature, a unique action of the total universe.

OK Takeaway Culture, time for a hit. Caffè Nero in the space of 20 minutes, Just Eat UK Deliveroo Uber Eats riders pitch up, park partially blocking the entrance, while customers queue for coffee from two staff. Hope you enjoyed your coffee at home, knowing you held up others.

"This election is about the future" RS It's actually about now.

If in this ridiculous election campaign, all media coverage was stripped of personal attacks, insults and fear projections about "the other parties" what would you end up with? Blessed silence 🙏

Pretty in the sun, Honda CB1100. The next video will be an appreciation of this bike and it's place in the retro market. Glad to include insight & comments from good friend Ken, who was Head of Training at Honda in the mid-1980s and was responsible for the CBX launch.

Yesterday, BBC Radio 4 two sides of the new housing debate, Reeves planning targets, followed by Liberal Democrats leader of Oxfordshire County Council raising obstacles, such as infrastructure (incl trams) and usual dogma to get folk on buses, bikes & walking shoes. Stone Age mentality

Today, 10th July, we begin the 84th Anniversary of the 1940 #BattleOfBritain As significant as every other year in remembering all those involved in such a critical turning point of both history & WWII, and which has been such an hugely influential part of my life #LestWeForget

The news about the US election, Biden's stepping down, seems endless and is being churned over again and again. Repetitive ad nauseam. Are we somehow vastly fascinated by this overblown media circus? BBC
