There's a good chance that I will die on a motorbike. How does everyone know that a fellow BCF member has perished?
Just saying that if I don't post on here for one month then I'm dead. My daughter Imogen has been told to post here when I die.
Such a happy chap I am |

So I have actually asked a member of the opposite sex to have a coffee.
It has seriously been over 30 years since I ever did something as stupid as that.
Been widowed for four years now. Not sure I really can be bothered to speak to anyone let alone a female for coffee. It will end up stressing me out. But one has got to make an effort. At the moment it is either cannabis, drink, son, dogs and motorbikes. Not all at the same time. And not good as a way to live.
Unfortunately, due to medication, I am struggling to get an erection. So may have to read up on viagra ffs
Do you think I'm looking too far ahead? I'm old school and female friends were just girls that wouldn't shag you. |

Get rid of the son and dogs, and you'll be on the right track.
As it is, don't worry about your 'date'. You're doing mostly the right things to ensure she won't be a long term problem, which she'll suss pretty quickly ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

My name is Struan. I am a bikeacholic. It's been seven solid years on it. It gets me high/low. It drains me, it drains my finances, it drains my relationships and only my daughter approves.
Seriously it's got to stop. I am either buying or selling a bike, looking at helmets of patterns you definitely wouldn't put on your wall. I leave the cover of the VFR just so I can see it out of the window. I can't for the life of me decide whether it looks better with the panniers on or not. And then it starts, it starts, the youtube video obsession. Reviews are going to be the hardest to come off.
My only saving grace is that I manage to stay of most videologgers, shit loggers. I know that isn't right.
Monthly check in to say I'm just about alive.
Love motorcycles, will never surrender to reality.
This is the helmet I like. What do you guys think? If I give up whisky for 2 months I can afford this. Or so I keep telling myself.
If in doubt buy another bike is my motto.
To tell the truth it is anything to get that quick hit, shopping, biking, drugs, drink or whatever it takes at any given time.
The VFR is shaft drive so no more effin chain cleaning to worry about.
Bike is surprisingly low. At 5ft seven I can get good purchase on the ground. The bike and front part of the seat are thin, along with the engine. Seems like a smaller bike when you are riding it. Pain in the arse to move it on the chips out front though. Ordered some fairing crash protection as it's only a matter of time until it is on its side, poor bike.
What do you think of the helmet?

All my stuff is here on BCF too. You kind of settle in, and since no one has said I've got to get a job and pay the rent, I'll stick around a bit longer - put the kettle on!
Btw, I have a solution to your weed problem; send it all to me
Btw 2: Bikes are the reason I'm skint and broken now. Spent everything on them for most of my life, including my physical condition. Although, tbh, bikes weren't the only way I tried to see how much punishment the human body can take ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017
