October , the hard top around here is in full harvest mode. 14 wheelers are out to play beat the clock. Gravel was the way for a ride . 500cc bullet 2006 with a side car .I learned to ride enduros, so being out in the countryside made me rethink . what fun, sometimes my monkey didn't' think so.

Let's see if I can assist.

Monkey = sidecar passenger (in a competition context), also barrow-boy in the UK.

14 Wheeler = heavy goods vehicle where they speak English but drive on the right.

So if my transatlantic dictionary is working correctly, PopSmoke has been out off-roading to avoid the fleets of HGVs employed to collect the harvested crops and clogging up the blacktop, sorry, the local road network while doing so.

Divided by a common language, indeed!

That pic makes perfect sense to me
Your in Australia :D

First time I rode a outfit in the snow was a revelation it worked so well
Wouldn't do it today though too damn old
Was fun in the 70s
Cheers all Dai
