Still in the planning stages, but NW Scotland with my bro in May, and a Euro trip with my mate Martin in September. 2019 was our last euro-fling and was 90% Spain 10% France (and included all 500+km of the N260), so we are probably looking at Germany/Austria this year. Can't wait...

Can't believe we are 19 posts in and Farage hasn't had a mention.

Bought myself Escape From Colditz board game, just had a quick trial game so I can explain how to play to my family, the rules are not particularly complicated, but what an incredibly tactical game, if you're playing as an escape officer you really need to have a plan of what you're going to do ...

It's not work, it's family

Alcohol was all I could think of too. Maybe a swiss army knife or something.

What the fuck do I want that costs £40 or less?

I took a pair of Kawasaki GT550s to 70K and 80K in the late 80s/early 90s, a Triumph Tiger (883) to 75K in the noughties and a Fazer thou to 65K. None of them failed me mechanically, I just crashed them :)
Now that I've stopped commuting my mileage has dropped dramatically so I'll never reach those ...

Love a number of these, and despise a few more. My adds to the playlist would be:

Chron Gen - Jet boy jet girl
The Cortinas - Fascist Dictator
The Adverts - No Time to be 21

All great live too!

Bank card and phone in pockets and disc lock and cargo net under the seat, along with an plush racoon (long story).

I generally get 6-7k from PR4s on a Tracer 9, and I only RLAC 20% of the time.

OMG I'm feeling my age here. Late 70s we booked time on the University mainframe to play a game where you piloted a helicopter through an increasingly convoluted cave. In the pub the best they had was Pong. Then Space Invaders, then Asteroids Frogger Galaxians. The quantum leap was 1993 and Doom and ...

Aniseed balls!

That's the other side of France?

S'only an extra 500 miles if you go via the Millau Bridge

Two cats. Formal names Berengaria and Tallulah. Usually Berry and Lullah. For short, Bez and Loolz. And when they're bad (often) the Berryzerker and Tallooligan. Whatever you call them it'll morph into something that suits

1980, Leicester Poly, I'd been to a Fall gig as pillion on my mates Suzuki 550 triple. After the gig we were hanging around the parked bikes ogling a Jota - they wern't exactly common - and this little blond lass wandered up, helmet on her arm. She dawdled about for the perfect length of time to ...

I'm presuming you're aware of the N260, it's an awesome road - all of it - but there are options. Whatever you do, make sure you include N260 sections from Sort - Adrall and Queixans - Ribes de Freser for peak awesomeness. And if you've got 11 days, I'd try and work in a lap of the Picos de Europa ...

All my 80's top five have received one or more mentions - with the exception of...

Down By Law

which is a wonderful film.

...out dropping it. Although the current one is pulling up the average survival time every day

I love KFB's loop, but it's a bit long for a road race lap. Same might be said for this, at 26 miles, but it's a hell of a lap

Been a fan for a couple of years. I love listening to sub-saharan African stations, but my go-to listen is DJAM in Paris.
