Re: So how are YOU spending your Summer?

I'm doing much the same things--but slower.

I bought a smaller bike, and I've been exploring the side roads within fifty miles of my home. Sleeping a bit later, hitting the gym harder, and more seriously. I lost over 30 pounds.

It's funny how you can enjoy things more by somehow being happy with less.

Re: So how are YOU spending your Summer?

Hi Tourist,
Lots of new peeps on here just lately, kick your shoes off and join in lol

Bikes are just made for American roads!! Well done on the weight loss, (I'm still struggling with only a stone to lose) I think when you have experienced a lot of somethings you can be happier with less

Re: So how are YOU spending your Summer?

Well, the new bike, a Sportster 48, is made for inner city roads. I re-set the rear shocks and I'm adding a better seat.

In American slang, that makes it better for 'Class A Highways.' That is, nice roads, but more rural. I do like to take it on 'the slab.' That is, our Interstate System. My Dyna, I call her Black Betty, is a heavy sport bike. A 'cruiser.' I can post pics if that's allowed here.

By your nomenclature, that means 20 pounds, correct?--Chico

Re: So how are YOU spending your Summer?

14 lbs in a stone.

Re: So how are YOU spending your Summer?

Well I'm going camping for the first time in years and looking forward to it.
Going to a site called Stowford Farm Meadows, Combe Martin. Anyone been there?

Re: So how are YOU spending your Summer?

I went to Combe Martin many years ago, a very pretty place - I don't know of that site though....

Have a great time and I hope the weather is kind for you....

Re: So how are YOU spending your Summer?

As I said Alf I'm looking forward to it. We usually go to Cornwall but stopping a little closer this year

Re: So how are YOU spending your Summer?

I`ll see your 80s and raise it!
We stayed at Combe Martin in the mid 70`s at a couple of Green Gatherings (ok - hippy fest!)
