John in Leeds

A very special man leaving a memory to treasure, thanks for sharing.

Worth a look again just for the true inspiration John Britten story

Very well said Just thinking this way is a positive start.

Well 'kinell, I had to duck

Pussies! Try this for a real man's ride A real MAN'S ride

Having looked back on the ADVrider site I would have to agree - I thought for a short time The Highwayman might have been one of our own contributors but quickly changed my mind. Great fun though

Press reports some 2 million people were there in Washington to witness President Obama being sworn in. Hope they are not as disappionted as the 2 million people I joined in the London rally to try to prevent the start of the Iraq war.

Absolutely top film - A regular fantasy for me Hugo Weaving did a great job as 'V'

If you are really determined to do some winter riding you might like to look at the site of Hans P, top bloke in Norway Hans P winter riding Just for interest Andy, a mate from Skipton (Yorkshire ) set of on Monday on his C90 for a fortnight winter rally camp in Austria. He may be slow but he is less likely to hurt himself with that bike

Congratulations to our friends across the pond. A new President sworn in at this time of need. I must say our bretheren are unusually muted for a boistrous and often patriotic crowd.

Guzzi on ice and snow sans third wheel = pain and damage.

Cmon Ratch - must be a little seductive eh?

Interesting exchanges - I suppose when you dish some out you just have to be prepared to take a bit. I think both Pete and Molly can take care of themselves

OMG! I've been sussed Bought it 04 to take my disabled mum and auntie on holidays (need to be close to a toilet when travelling and have limited mobility, that's mum not me ). Sadly Aunt has now passed on and mum cannot leave the house so caravan has been sold. Must confess I loved those holidays particularly in France. May get another (smaller one) or camper in the future when I get some decent time away from care responsibilities.

This motorcycle rekindled my belief. Many others ridden, owned and lusted after far too many years but this one finally satisfies. And finally without apology to Guy

Cobbler's revenge

I think he means a little further away than France

I didn't know that Ewan had a Cali. Fair play to him raising some good money for his favourite charity From Visordown

Timber was I believe used to get a uniform non pot holing surface unlike Brooklands in England Where it was a little bumpy Some Brooklands background

Over 100 mph in timber many, many years ago Czech timber oval

Yup, ya got me.

Exquisite skills - that big vertical slab about halfway through, mind blowing. Thanks Ratchet

Finally proof positive and from an impeccable source why the EU should continue to ban US steroid fed beef
