Just host the pics elsewhere and you can bung up as many as you want.

Yes, three pics per post is yer limit when the pics are hosted on RTTL. I'll take the convenience of them hosted 'on site' rather than going through all the faff with something like Flickr.

Didn't realise it was a 3 photo limit. Thought as long as the photos totalled under 2mb I could post them.

Everyday is a school day!

use imgbb.com and one you've uploaded your images use the drop down for full bbcode and theres even a little copy button and then paste all the links in one go.

Another really fun day out on the lanes of Southern England yesterday , just two of the usual gang and me, which made it a complete orange fest



The bikes in this pic have 21 years between them ( my 03, a 2019, and a 1-month-old 2025 model), they really haven't changed that much, which says something for the original design IMO

Lots of mud, and a lot of trees down too which TBH just added to the adventure, just about perfect weather for this sort of ride, a cracking day

I'm likely being a tad hard on the place,it's not all bad,but repeated greedy,inward looking,self serving councils have wrecked the commercial town centre and it's now a mix of depressing boarded-up shop fronts and the rest is Turkish barbers and vape shops. Even the charity shops can't survive.
All patrolled by 'no quarter given' traffic wardens slapping one on your windscreen,just in case you were presumptuous enough to try to bring footfall to the place.

I haven't been back there for a very long time, but I've got many happy childhood memories of Carrickfergus ( and Bangor and Newcastle too)- the sidecar in this pic , taken in the late 60s/ early 70s, is attached to my old dad's Vincent , our family transport back in those days

MY 74 KTM

I hope he gets a good ribbing for that

Oh I dunno, could be worse- he could drive around in something with a really twatty one like TR69CKY

Many a time we lay on the grass there with all the bikes parked up.

Annual pilgrimage to a garage!
Bit pissed off as they've triggered the eml by leaving the ignition on whilst testing the brakes.
Not a huge issue, but my obd and adapter are in France!
But she passed..... obviously!

Well it's not raining or icy so we got out for a social earlier



Barry was on his latest purchase,it's the 5th bike he's bought this year,& the first one that I'd like a ride on.
The other 3 of us were on our 'Winter hack' bikes



Hoty's Bandit,he's had this since the late 90's



The mechanic at the bike shop's still running his Bosozoku LC.
After commenting on the LC,our other mate who's Classic bike is a GT250 & when we were teenagers had a few different RD & GT 250's stunned us by stating that he'd never ridden a 250 or 350LC.



My 'Winter hack' SV650 was once again a joy to ride on the back lanes around here.

We think he's got a phobia about filling them up so instead of going to the petrol station he p/x's them for something with a full tank

The medical term is Couchy syndrome

Rode over to Alicante for a coffee, now about to head south along the small coast road down Guardamar via Santa Pola for lunch somewhere.

Wish I'd known the medical term back when Smithy was doing that!

It's foggy arounf here but no ice & it's the Boxing Day meet up.We had a couple of minor drama's to start with,my SV650 didn't want to play,so I rode my 650X (probably some crud in one of the switches,I'll have a look when I've got more time),then on the way there we passed our mates son who's CCM Spitfire had expired.Lots of people there,here's a few of the more interesting bikes.

Not very Royal,Enfield V twin



Matchless V twin



2CV powered sidecar



Suzuki T500



One for Skub

Dry roads and mild for the time of year allowed me to blow away the Xmas cobwebs in a pleasurable fashion. A lovely couple of runs stolen back from Winter. These are the days I'm glad I don't mothball my bikes. 2024 isn't dead yet.

Living the biker lifestyle vicariously through my niece on the 'motorbike' (as she calls it) I bought her for Christmas.
