Bikers' Banter

It's on my one day soon list, but not this time. That is the day I shall be handing over a wheelbarrow load of money in exchange for getting my tracker fitted and joined to my 'phone. The boys in the Triumph shop have PROMISED that I will be able to understand what I am meant to do if it rings me up and tells me it's been stolen, plus it does lots of other things, like send help if I crash and all sorts of other clever tricks. BikeTrac have a 97% recovery success rate so I probably don't need anything quite so fancy, but I love my bike and it deserves the very best. I couldn't bear to lose it. Just off to look for a route to the Ponderosa, ready for another time.

I still get lost even with Sat Nav, when she say's turn left or right i ignore her, keep thinking it's the wife.

My bike has something called Datatag, ain't got a clue what it is or what it's supposed to do.

The ninja has Datatag, but it's an 18 year old version, so probably no good! I think I should probably have told them current address at some point, but I don't remember if I have!

Smartwater and stuff like that means you might get bits of your bike back if they ever find it.
Bee's tracker is the dogs.
My brother told me a funny one recently... Miserable git of a customer had a fancy tracker fitted. All the bells and whistles. But, the shop also registered as a notifiable concern if anything happened (probably can't do that now). So, one day, they get an urgent message - the bike has gone down, it's in this location... Next time miserable customer is in - "how was your off road adventure in the ditch?" "How the f do you know about that?"

Well that was a good ride out. Cross country, so some nice back roads. Not been that way for years.

Stopped off at Pontcysyllte aqueduct which was very impressive. Even walked across it, without having to hold on

Unfortunately, there was a swathe of new, wet tarmac on Horseshoe Pass, stones flicking up everywhere, so a very steady ride to the Ponderosa But well worth the trip. Will have to go again soon

Looks good NC. I have to do that canal bridge walk thing, looks awesome.

I did a local run today. Cup of tea at Blakemere. No pics, couldn't be arsed.
