It’s quite cold here.

Oh yes please. I am looking forward to this series.

Bloody 120 mph wind gust wrecking havoc all over the Duchy. Trees down everywhere, RTA’s, roads closed. Lifeboats, coastguards and all the other services on the go all night. 53,000 homes blacked out. Worst of all for me pealed the roof off my bike she which was new this year. Tore the doors off my big shed and blew the sides out of my recycling bag store. At one point we had a tin can twister flying around the garden . Managed to trigg it up today hopefully good enough for overnight so I can get on with fixing it properly tomorrow. Guess the Triumph Carb rebuild is on hold until the shed is secured. Bikes all untouched I couldn’t get to much today as Shadow had a hospital appointment and I had to take the Mr’s down to RCHT Hospital in Truro to see her 94 year mum who is in with. Flu I have everything crossed she comes out again, my Mother in Law is a gem.

The Madam opened the Brothel Door to see a frail, elderly gentleman. "Can I help you"..?? the Madam asked. "I want Natalie," the Old Man replied. "Sir, Natalie is one of our most Expensive Ladies, perhaps someone else"..??? "NO, I must see Natalie." the old guy exclaims. Just then Natalie appeared and announced to the Old Man, that she Charges £1,000 per visit. Without blinking, the Old Man reached into his Pocket and handed her Ten £100 notes. The two went up to a room for an hour, whereupon the man calmly left. The next night he appeared again demanding to see Natalie..?!?!? Natalie explained that no one had ever come back Two Nights in a Row and that there were NO Discounts. It was still £1,000 a visit. Again the Old Man took out the Money, the Two went up to the room and an hour later, he left. When he showed up the THIRD Consecutive night, no one could believe it. Again he handed Natalie the money and up to the room they went. At the end of the hour Natalie questioned the Old Man:- "No one has ever used my Services Three Nights in a Row. Where are you from Sir"..??? The Old Man replied, "I'm from Cardiff "Really"..?? replied Natalie. "I have Family who Lives there." she replies. "Yes, I Know," said the old man. "Your Father Died recently, and I'm your Sister's Attorney". * "And she asked me to give this £3,000, when I saw you"..

It was politics it was observation, get it right you cheese eating surrender monkey wannabe

We just assumed you had died because you didn’t have those warning stickers to keep you safe.

Today Im going for a little qwad ride possibly, been stuck in house mostly all week , just to dam cold to do anything, the temp has finally came up a little...

Hey no politics numbskull....you'll get Buckwheat started again...lol. Im practicing my moderator skills...hope Pedro is watching .

Sadly it's the truth and if you knew anything about bikes ( pan- am in general) like Saul said , dealers don't even want to deal with them...electrical gremlins, scrappy fuel pumps...ext...ext...

You do know some HD dealers are refusing to take them back as trade ins. Doesn’t inspire confidence

True, all like Mecccano for me

All i can say about the KTM's i worked on, and there were enough to buy me a now bike about two year. I used to do jobs on my machinary lathe, Mill, Boring. Lots of little jobs that used to get me a credit ( at the time i thought i was just helping out my Local Dealers) as he was Honda also..i ride Honda cos i like to get to ware i set off to go at the start of the day.. Anyway two years into repairing these KTM's that TKM would not warranty ( but the dealer did ) i ended up with a young lady from the dealership asking if i was going to spend this account i had biult up...(Me) what account? the dealer had put money into an account within the dealership for me for all the work i done for them. Seems kT thingy would not warranty the items that were failing at an alarming rate..i later found out the rear swingarm was over a grand to replace...and i fixed them in 40 mins.. It ended with me getting a part ex ( cash in hand ) plus a new bike from my acount....Local family run Motorcycle dealer...buy you bikes and bits from your local dealers before we loose them all...shit will happen then.

Plus i could maybe even have a few or more bits that may or even could be of use to some nut sorry i mean well meaning person to help one's Little Lady and her high sidding mate.

Do the PM thing with your address, i have a new cylinder and leaver here some place plus a spare zorst like the scabby one fitted now..but not scabby Lyn.. Tis afterall just gone Crissy.

Does work, i had an 8foot iron pipe on my last one across the wall...not nice if you forgot and put your hand on it.. Like a dick i started to hang tools on it in the summer, winter came and i just went to lift a rat-shit from it..I can say it did not stay in hand very long But as a heater it worked well.

But it was factual

27th job in 2 years, no its not, this place, aabc, council dustcarts, corners transprt and metcalf farms in last 2 years So 5 in 2 years and corners was because we moved back down south otherwise id still be there The others just didnt really fit with what I wanted, especially money wise and if the money isnt right why would you stay

You love sorting it out.
