No scones..?
I was so looking forward to some good English scones...I've had rocks on the way over...something about too little yeast?
Ta, Caer, I'd luvvamugannaslice...!
*stretches the tired muscles as he settles in to a cumfy chair*

Arrives, late as usual, helps herself to , yawns and curls up with a good book in a comfy chair next to WR...

Hi guys!
There wouldn't happen to be a cup of Earl Grey to be had around here, would there?

YB

Yes, I believe there is.

Ya know, I think I'm more in the mood for a cup of tea.

YB

*Peeks her nose out from over the top of her book*

Yogabiker? Does this name mean that you *do* Yoga whilst riding your bike?

Ooooh! give us a demo!

*Shows girls some photo's of stunt guy doing handstand on a moving motorcycle during recent biker rally.*
Not bad - I bet he could do that in the lotus position!

Actually, it was a fondness for yoga and motorcycles that inspired the name in the beginning. But one day a fellow hoo tooer asked a fatefull question: What is a yogabike? I didn't know, but I couldn't let the idea go until several months later I went into my virtual garage and invented one. The description is in my personal space and also in a thread called "road conditions" in the poetry section of "Mostly Harmless"

*Studies WR's stunt guy picture and returns it to him with a pronounced 'Tsk'*

Very nice WR dear heart! I suppose it would have been easier on the eyes, mine in particular, if the rider hadn't been sporting his trousers on his head at the time and *had* actually bothered to wash his underpants before exposing them as a public health hazard.

How long have you been practicing Yoga YB? I started practicing Yoga rather sporadically whilst in my teens and didn't attend my first Yoga class until I was in my mid twenties. Nowadays my nearest class is held miles away and I can't afford the petrol or class fees to attend but I still manage to practice two to three times a week after my gym workouts. It's a bit difficult to indulge myself at home because of the profusion of s & s in our home.

Oh! And there is also the presence of my hubby's various motorcycle parts scattered about the living room floor to work around too...

Yep, motorcycle parts scattered across the floor can be hard to work around. However, even though I don't have any motorcycles or motorcycle parts, I have *other* stuff on the floor that is just as hard to deal with.

I hope that your 'other stuff' isn't a health hazard or illegal in nature Paul.

There is nothing illegal in my house.

As for health hazards.... There's a very ancient orange in my fridge that probably isn't doing anything good for the food that's nearby.

Have you thought about having it surgically removed (the orange from the fridge)?

Our livingroom carpet is such a health hazard (yet another reason not to practice Yoga at home) that it should be illegal. We're waiting until our puppy has grown up a bit more before replacing it. After that it will be touch and go for my hubby as to whether or not his random motorcycle parts will be banished from the livingroom floor.

My motorcycle bits and pieces are now neatly sorted into large plastic boxes (ex army ammo cases) and neatly numbered.

But I forgot to do an inventory before I stacked them in the corner of the bedroom...so I'll just have to unpack them again sometime before my next bike trip!

Um, how can you take a bike trip if your motorcycle is disassembled?

Spare bits, optional bits, panniers, topboxes, tie-downs, straps+lashings, bags, pumps, tools, inner tubes, etc. etc.
The bike is still in one piece!

Isn't a pannier something that you make bread with?

Do you make bread while riding your motorcycle?

Only if you leave your dough on the exhaust pipe....
