Nope and told you guys about it rather than hide it. See my Chequered Flag post.

Me and my shadow (youngest child) went to Chequered Flag bike night tonight. Had a bit of a spirited ride up there on the Liskeard Bypass. Anyway pulled into Chequered Flag and parked up and went and got a coffee and orange hot chocolate for shadow. They obviously know me Chequered Flag bike shop sell AJS chinky 125’s and old tat but I was interested to see they had a second hand biking gear section. Nothing there suitable for shadow as she is only a size 6. It was all stuff for fat blokes. Some tidy kit there but I reckon you would get better on eBay for less. After I drank my coffee the mechanic from the bike shop came over and asked if the Hornet was mine. Turns out the valve on my chain oiler had failed and dumped oil all over my back tyre. Quite a worrying moment as we had just been belting down Liskeard Bypass. Luckily for both of us I didn’t do a Busa. Actually shook me up if anything happened to Shadow I would never forgive myself. Won’t be sharing this with the Mrs. Anyway I borrowed a knife and cut the Loobman off and bined it. NEVER EVER RISK ONE OF THESE OILER DEATH TRAPS. As I was cutting it off the mechanic cleaned the oil off the tyre. Very kind and helpful chap. Didn’t take any photos until after the fact but you get the drift Some interesting bikes turned up, my favourite was this lovely old R80 BMW These guys were up Damerells when we were this morning I chuckled as a chap turned up to test drive the old green Divvi 900, which to be fair sounded really sweet even with 54,000 miles on it. Obviously been looked after. Anyway the clutch failed before it got out the car park. No sale then. Came away with a better opinion of Chequered Flag given how they helped me but still wouldn’t buy a bike there. Had a couple of chats before heading home, carefully given what happened to my tyre. Total of 97 miles for the day.

Hopefully he has video.

If he didn't, he'd better show Busa how to ride!

The blue one was the turd you bellend!

Did you do a busa?

probably

Don’t buy a Longman, bloody thing just spilt it’s guts over the rear tyre. No warning the valve in the oil reservoir failed and let all the oil out.

Someone will make a couple of quid coming up with an Ironman wrap for that fairing. I like these bikes with their weird colours, the world is full of black and grey bikes already.

Can't remember how many times we've ate there, bloody good pub and food. Enjoy.

Wouldn't catch me wearing those boy goerge special...you have gay taste my friend.

That big yellow paint should have been a dead giveaway..a big yellow fucking turd is what you bought...

Rude

It does look the part......but unfortunately it's not!

No! I only got the 1200GS because she said she'd like to go out on the bike sometimes if it was like the yellow 1150. And it didn't turn out well! The Honda isn't exactly the stuff that dreams are made of, but the damn thing will keep on going whatever you throw at it.

It was.

Rieju.

Tempted to dip your toes into BMW ownership one more time.?

Nice little village …

She compares every bike since then to the 1150GS. None measures up.......though the 1200GS made a promising start until the brakes went after 2 miles!

This is an epic pub report!

For Petronas fan boys only

You have plenty of gay cred wearing those slippers ..........

Well yeh I can see the resemblance, the GS does have a big beak...
