So with 75 NYC Kilometers on the speedo my brother drops of his 2018 Tomos dead from being transported laying on its left side. Red ATF tranny oil flowing out of the case, i wondered to myself at the time if that would short something out. Yup...Got into the coils, even after cleaning residual oil does this to the coil pickups when they heat up. Cleaned them off now she runs, the odds makers want bets on how long before this happens again. Yes im getting new coils.

The weekend will start in the tent (aka poor man's garage) as it is Bagheera's 5000km service time. ? Looking forward to it, I enjoy working on the bike and the smell of oil and gas, can't beat it. Hopefully I will get everything done in time for a ride this weekend, but I did buy a can of orange spray paint, so I might get distracted. ?

Waiting for Beemer parts Spain™!

Waiting for Tomos parts StateSide™!

Waiting for someone to wash my Yamaha or the Suzuki.............. no takers, so I'd better do it myself tomorrow.

My washing machine plays a tune, it's like christmas arrives every time the laundry is done

That was a nice story, had to laugh about the compass, mine has never worked either. ? From my experience I feel pretty much the same as the writer does. It does make the bike out to be a bit more fancy than it is, the build quality is shit really in so many ways, but for some reason it all works, most of the time and its lots of fun. ? It does surprise you as to where it can go..... Now back to the tent/garage for some valve checking....??

Cant beat the value thats for sure.

From what I can understand, I'm sure I just read couples who don’t live together in tier 2 can’t have sex Indoors! But they can have sex outside as long as they are 2mtrs apart!!

The Bong sound is to remind you when its 4:20

That case was half full of trans oil SirFalls, so, all i can do is tell ya what im doing...the last time i took the case off it reaked of burnt tranny oil, now not so much. Butt, this is what she sounds like right now so...

I trust that an American made bit of quality kit and not chineseium.

@Sir Fallsalot hope you're nursing your wimmins properly. here's to a sppedy and complete recovery for them.?

So today my tree was brought home. Maria picked a handful of Argan nuts off the floor in Morocco, and about 3 years ago I one of them started growing with a little help from myself: Yesterday, aproximately 3 years since it started growing, I wanted to give it a chance to grow and this home is where it belongs. So, using a friend's van I drove it 250km home And it was put on the ground with the help of a stake to help it cope with the high wind here for the first few weeks, and also to help straighten her a little bit. I finished watering when it was already dark and freezing. Also brought 60 new plants to help turn this garden around, so tomorrow is going to be busy gardening.

Perhaps Bruce's bright red calipers on the Blekbish traumatised you ?

That's Britain......not here! Not even the Dagos could be that fucking stupid!

Fred turned up too late to get an ice cream from what I remember ?

Everything seems to make a beep or a bong nowadays, even our bloody washing machine is joining in now.

@Grasshopper's Ride

Went out an looked, its the round end of a cotter pin that is holding the chains pin in from falling out....

Its a Slovenian master clip, the pin is safety wired, looks like a bodge job to put the chain on, they added a larger sproket, probably needed more chain so they jiggered some more on. It leaked oil when my brother layed it on her side to transport it up here, over there, who knows how far..

Bit like the KLR then Tym?

Nothing arrived! Fuckmine!

Got a new tyre/tire/tier gauge.

They do......in the Recently Used!

I picked up a digital one for the compressor a few weeks ago as its a pain having to grab my reading glasses every time i check the pressures, it also works as a pressure gauge when not connected to the compressor

Everythings Chineses now, they won ya know, and nobody noticed.

For the sake of accuracy... it's chinese american

Thats the part i like, its the rest of the boot i find weird looking.

That's just how they do that in South Africa

I use Sidi Gore-Tex for the road bike and Forma adventure for everything else including the road bike, the Sidi's have had very little use since I've had the Forma's need a new pair now though

Through Max bikes I met Fred, Ogri, Dawn, Bruce , Ren, Dave and probably a few others I can't remember. I nearly met Pete several times but he always seem make some excuse about it raining or something like that ?

Not sure anybody does Clive......cos they wouldn't be able to get away with it here. Everybody's connected you see.......so any bullshitting would be found out. For example.... @Tym doesn't pretend to be unstable.....he is. I first had my suspicions back somewhere around 2002 when he built a big snowman in his garden, shot it to pieces with his guns, then threw red liquid over what was left to signify bloodshed. I believe the legendary Julian Solos delivered his "unstable" diagnosis on Tym at that point!

that's exactly what happend here with the parisites, they all legged it to their holiday homes and spread it across the whole country...wankers!

Made it two times up the street...wouldnt start, remove flywheel, clean coils.... runs till you shut her off, then no restart without a coil cleaning, The best part is this is all my oldest brothers fault.... ?

Gave him the fucking Golden Rivet no doubt!
