I'd be careful what you say Marcel, there used to be someone else on here who used to say that

I have been in that place, very very hard to discribe the pain..Then my new bike was delivered the day i was at the low point.. I know it sounds naff...but the bike and the thought of not being around to ride free in the fresh air changed my mind. The first time....Ren and Pete,and a few others helped me thou they did not know at athe time.. Stay focused folks and talk to your mates..just cos we are men does not make us super hero's..Talk. PS: i have now seen the light...It is biking and your mates.

Just a routine check up...my first and my last...lol....a 60 year old with a body of 40 years old...lol.

Are you keeping up with the latest science news...guess the detected matter itself between two entangled particles ...

Pretty sure one of your deleted posts said you got a colostomy. Nothing to be embarrassed about, you are not a youngster.

Oh shit man...I wouldn't want to live with a colostomy bag...it be the end of the road...

You are going to have to be careful riding with a colostomy bag.

It was hilarious for a bit...got you beleiving you were a chicken nugget , and Pedro nearly had a nervous breakdown .

Two good things that did come out of it....getting the 950 in top form , taking one last touring ride by myself ...always travel alone on the 950..most of the time ..lol.

It will be a month next time.

Maybe this thread don't belong here....cause Im not really working on it ...

No just and oil leak...seems to be coming from rear cylinder base gasket..and if they do have to tear it down...wyll its open..new timing chain, guides, tensiner..and it's not a job for me crawling on my knees..

Paint.

I'm pleased for you that you enjoyed your week off as I'm sure you'll be getting another one before too long

Why have you given it to a dealership , is there something terminally wrong with it ?

It was all over your bike last time I saw it

When I used to take the train to go to school, every year the trains would stop two or three times because someone threw themselves onto the line. It’s a violent way to go too, that leaves a mess, so you must really be in despair instead of just wanting to find a quiet way out.

I have a railway line on the other side of a field behind my house. I tried to do my normal dog walk up the track beside the field and over the railway bridge a few days ago but lots of police/ambulance/fire engines up there so went a different way. Turns out some poor soul decided to end it all by jumping onto the tracks in front of a train. Walked up there today and lots of people have left flowers on the path over the bridge. I cannot imagine what circumstances would make someone take their own life and I that way. Made me very thankful for my life and family, and even the work things which have been weighing on my mind a bit recently. Sorry to be morose but every so often you have to think how lucky you are.

Is the existing external coating on the engine paint or is it some type of ceramic ?

Quite enjoy puttering about in the garage just minding my own business and doing what I want, but inevitably there is always something else that needs dealing with. Today it was mice which were in massive sack of rice (which for some reason we have to buy in bulk just in case the population of Beijing drop by and want a snack). Where there are two there will be 12 more so set up traps in places the dog can't stick his nose. Emergency over I went back to minding my own business and wired up the rear indicators, completely forgetting I need to stick a resistive load in line somewhere. Realised when I tested them and just heard the relays singing. Wired up the rear brake switch but can't test that until I put some fluid in the system. Temp sensor for the new clocks goes into the drain port under the water pump, which of course has the hex socket rounded off so spent a while swearing at it and eventually got it off. Was going to fit and connect up the battery but couldn't find the crimp on terminal connectors I know I have somewhere so had to order some more. Was going to try and make an exhaust, got all the bits of tube I have out and bodged it into a rough idea of how I can get it all together but don't want to start welding until I have the back wheel on with a tyre so I can see how much clearance I will have. My one tangible achievement after all that is that the clock now works on the new speedo

Kinda anxious to find out what's damage the dealership will find...I don't mind spending a bit of dosh on it , cause I know the bike is still solid and still looks nice after 22 years...my limit is 2 thousand, more than that..im having second thoughts..well maybe a little more..lol...bike has more sentimental value than money to me. This pic is from 2005.

Not much going on , 8c sunny but windy....

So much for it staying dry this afternoon. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1HH6fCTBJW/

Do you want me to tell you what I told Baldy before my perma bann...lol. I hope you enjoy the Obama years ( biden) back in 2005..like 5 years before he was elected...

When are going to figure it out...I see this world in 1 and 0 , and in the real world.
