Sherpa can take it. Contains SMOLL Motorcycle. Also Cornwallness.

[Eddie Honda]

Take two blokes. Let each bloke be a fuckwit. Put such blokes in a van. Make the fuel tank be SMOLL. Make the fuel gauge be BROKKEN. Drive 205 miles flat out at 70. Guess what might happen?

 

Well, one hour later Matt the AA dude Mick from Bustin Brakes and Clutches Ltd has sloshed in five litres of yummy Earthjuice. To make it vaut le detour for Matt, I bought a battery for good measure and who cares that much cheaper in Halford's?

 

So, an hour behind schedule, we are near Indian Queens, or somewhere. Gnome world is the local attraction. I shit you not.

 

#clueless numby fuckers.

Guys, you are aware of the fact, that this isn't the way to Whitby, no?

Coffee stop of much wondermentIMG_0132.JPG

 

I thought those Minions were history! youz missed one

[Guest Breadvan72]

We killed the Minions while waiting for the AA.

 

We are currently eating not very good crabby and sausage sandwiches on the balcony of the local water sports centre. My request for a golden shower has been met with a pint of some alleged beer made from apples or some such fruity nonsense.

 

 

We neglected to take photos of Mark the hipster bike seller and of his smoking hot lady friend because we were too busy wrangling the bike, for bike it is, into the back of the van while I was dealing with a confused High Court Judge who had rung me to enquire about a hearing that isn't in anyone's diary except hers, because computer glitch. Judge politely told to go and chill out. Lunch now lunched. We must head back.

 

1981 Sherpa now contains 1980 Yamaha RD125 DX. Pristine. Runs lovely.

 

Photos to follow.

The whole Royal Navy was in port. Rum, sodomy, and the lash.

Black plate on bike MUST DIE.

Is that Falmouth?

 

Edit - I've just seen your post above, shame one of the cranes collapsed the other week, your a long way down, still being in a Sherpa must be like luxury compared too all the VW owners doing there annual snail trail cross to Newquay in their scened campers.

We've been driving for approximately a million hours and we're STILL in Cornwall.

[pandamonium]

I'd consider myself a posh geordie, in that Southerners can mostly understand what I am saying.

Thats what its like down here mate - 100 miles before we hit civilisation

[Guest Breadvan72]

We are now stopping every ten minutes for fuel. Just added a splat of oil too, because we have been ragging the nadgers off the O Series. It is still going.

[Guest Breadvan72]

The magical moment has occurred. We have just passed the first sign that says London on it. "London 160 miles". We are therefore safely past the Kuiper Belt and within the Solar System.

I'd consider that just pretentious.

80? FOOKEN 80!

 

This was just before overtaking a beige 1993 LWB Landy.

Fatha thastag is always keen to point out, "Devon and Cornwall, cut off to the north, south and West by the Ocean, cut off to the east by the Government and utilities."

[Guest Breadvan72]

Crazy stuff spotted all day. Many beige Dub campers. A Transit on its roof by the roadside. A 90s Volvo so rusty that you could see the seaside through it. A modern Beemer with a wheel fallen off. A red Esprit. A red Dino. Many 90s Rav 4s and one Pajero.

[Arthur Foxhake]

Red speedblock pattern RD125 of sex.

I am almost the most jealous I've been in a long time.

 

And would be but I just snared a 1996 Honda CR125 of sex.

To go with my modern KXF250F of four strokeness.

 

I'm still properly jealous, but have another floozy to take my mind off it for the meantime.

 

ETA. When is inevitably for sale, please let me know.

Thanks.

Hey, come on.  Most days we have internet and electricity now, often at the same time.  

 

No phone signal, mind, but then that's why we have landlines and telegraph poles.

I see the back lights of this sexy beige number have been modified gifferstyle

[Guest Breadvan72]

The bike.  Photo fails to show how perfect it is. 

[Guest Breadvan72]

We got back to my pad at about 2030. LBC entertained Mutha BV with witty Geordie sayings over tea, and then lobbed off in his Honda Jizz.  I nommed haddock and chips and am now enjoying watching the discomfiture of Tory twats on the news tubes.  Sherpa fab.  Bike still in back of van.

They have - and are mounted on blocks of wood.  

[Felly Magic]

That makes that Sherpa even MOARWINNINGZ

[JayW]

A red Esprit.

Didn't happen to be in pieces in a front garden in Truro did it?...

[Guest Breadvan72]

Nar, it was going ZOOOM eastbound on the M5.
