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.

??? I think I need an interpreter.

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!

Many thanks, Adrian, I felt like I was accelerating into the chasm of senility.

Don't feel bad,they loved my accent in Australia.

Gravel is fine but sand kills me.

the picture rotated. I'm only down, not upside down.

That pic makes perfect sense to me
Your in Australia

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

The side car will keep me from joining you,heads or tails?

I am in my 70s turned 71 this year and ride as often as I can. Tomorrow it will be in the high 6 8 in Nebraska, low winds. Looking at see where it takes me.
