I've been bitten twice,once with Photofuckit and again with Imjur. That's me done with any of them.

I buy very little from Amazon,so Prime isn't worth it to me.

I'm no fan of Amazon,only use it as a last resort so I'm not going there for storage!
I'll start burning images to CD again,at least that way I should be able to access them easily enough :thumbup:

I discovered this summer that there's a cafe at the gliding club up there.
They do proper homemade chips which were the best I've had in forever 👍

Went house hunting up in that part of the world a few years ago. Church Stretton was rather spoiled by the A49 going through the middle of it.

There's a cafe at Acton Scott too.

Spent the afternoon out on my SV650S,as I've said before,since I fitted the top yoke conversion this thing just suits me on the back roads around here.
I called in at the local Suzuki dealers to have a look at some of the 800 Ptwin variants,I really like the looks of the GSX8TT & the GSXR 8 seems decent but apart from the 800 Vstrom all the variants seem to have the same shortened rear end & tiny pillion seats,so Pstrom apart I'm not sure how you're supposed to fit a load of camping gear on there.I think I'll be sticking with the SV's.
There's loads of fallen leaves & the occasional fallen tree about so I was mainly riding where it's more open countryside,at least all the rains washed the mud off the roads,just loose gravel now

I was glad of my Winter gloves today,it's forecast freezing later in the week so no doubt the gritters will be out.

I think that's what matters most isn't it - fun? Seems people are discovering they can have fun on a lot of different styles of machine.

If by chance you mean mine, that lava flow was from the recent activity in 1730-36. Came from new volcanoes on the right and flowed about 15 miles and entered the sea in our little village.

I knew there had been some seismic unrest, but I didn't know there were two new volcanoes :flame: :flame:

Good Lord... where should I have been a couple of weeks ago, delivering a Science Of Being Seen presentation in a Biker Down course for DocBike West Sussex?
