In the garage, made a start on doing the steering head bearings on the Rally

Yep....you made me think........Mc.D,s it is It is only 1 mile away, maybe we could go on the scoot.

I’m still not banned from the Harley Riders Club GB forum but it’s pretty dead anyway, I’m probably the only person there that rides in the winter.

you might bump into xtreme in there.

This is why it pays to have brothers. Thats my old surfboard butt, those two boogie boards are coming up too today, the odd shapped one is 600 freaking dollars expensive!?! WTF!? Should say tourTeccy on it! lol https://www.paipo.com

A "pal" of his has put you forward for the (blow) job!

I wouldn't say the were 'gone' . Having looked at them the bearings look ok and the bottom race is fine but the top race does have a mark on it. I will look at it closer (my eyes are shite) and then decide what to do . I could just re-grease them and polish the mark out on the top race and re-fit them. These bearings take a lot of punishment on a dirt bike and you've seen the sort of shit we ride in. On a road bike you'd expect them to do 30 -40,000 miles before replacement.

Looks like it just needs some extra vibration isolation but the point is that it is cheaper to replace and is not the only display.

its totally original only 1 of 38 ..... that will make it more desirable.

Course if you had a van you could shove the scoot in there and go cruising to Mablethorpe! It's what's Ewan and Charlie would do I'm sure!

Forecast was just cold here yesterday, bloody pissing down.

Yeh the weathers taken a turn for the worse here as well.... hehehe

Some nice machines......but a few tatty ones in there. Pricing is way OTT though.

Fucking pointless smart technology is whats gripping my shit at the moment. I was looking for a new jet washer this week and while doing some research i discovered you can get one that has a Bluetooth connectivity, why the fuck would anyone want that. all i want to do is it to point a hose at something and get it wet fast. My tumble dryer is the same i wonder if it will need therapy in the future because i cant be arsed to connect to it and i'll end up in court for neglect or some shit

i think you take forums a bit to seriously.... twat

I dunno, is there a patron saint for Sodomy? Pray.

Like I give a fuck what’s said … @Cliveis a proper little spy , are you Rogering him Moore for his undercover work ?

I've found it! Six posts something then the owner of the site has a go at him because he's posting on here? As usual my name gets dragged into it. I think everybody here, besides @Tym and @Buckster, posts on other bike forums. And the only reason they don't is because they've been banned from all the others. I did warn @Six30 he'd get the barrel pointing at him at some point. Now he's well and truly in the frame! Very strange mindset indeed, and as I've said before, I've never seen anything like this sort of behaviour before by forum owners. Six......you better post more there and less here or I see an Incomprehensible Warning PM in your future! And nobody expects the Incomprehensible Warning PM! This situation needs a voice of reason! @Tym.......what would you do in Six's position?

Well that’s me officially pissed off. The steering head bearing kit I bought is wrong

Warm enough for me to go swimming, just saying.

My GTR needs that done, can you stop by with the correct spanners thanks in advance.

Well Mablethorpe is closer than Spain! But @Six30 thinks its worth travelling all the way to Spain for a Blow job!. What you say @Six30

Well you know what they say about the rain in Spain ?

Now that's the style Clive!

She won't be seen in a restaurant with me because I'm too embarrassing apparently!

I reckon the Africa Twin is under priced, they go for that for the 750 models nowadays and the 650 is rarer and better put together.

That's the plan.......try the heated grips.

Bloody belting down again......hasn't stopped throughout the night. Have to wear Wellies to feed the horses this morning.

Post it to him

I still have nightmares about triple carbs.

Well looks like I will be staying close to home this weekend. Most of the forest service roads are closed due to the rain storm. Too many mud slides and trees down over the road. So much for my Himalayan fun. Then my favourite road along with many of the side roads are still closed, so much for my Honda fun.... ....and NOW we have fuel rationing because the supply roads are such a mess and they can't get volume through, only 30L allowed at one time per visit......so much for my 4x4 fun. Sooooo, good thing I have many fun and interesting projects around the house to keep me busy....

Fine, just got back from my latest PT sessions with mother earth™.

Real fucking bundle of laughs for me......and ironically I've got no work on either. Not a lot I can say about it really.......other than more fucking misery! What about you pitiful no-hopers?

What you say @Bruce?

Every 6 days!!!.......I could strip the bastids with my eyes closed......could not get the bastids cleaned though. Hey Busboy, you want this Morgantune back?....bugger all use for it now?

Rebuilding the carbs every day for six months takes it's toll!

it's that time of the year guys

Yup. Seals bring the big ones in. No biggie i carry a pole spear and a knife, just got to know, Darwin makes the rules.

There's a formula for bridge height signs that errs on the safe side, so it is probably half a foot higher then that. But then some twat resurfaces the road and doesn't tell the bridge people who look after the signs that there is more or less room of course. From Chapter 4 TSM 7.4.1.  The imperial figure shown on signs to indicate the available headroom should be at least 3 inches less than the measured height to allow a safety margin. If the resulting figure is not a multiple of 3 inches, it should be rounded down to the nearest lower multiple of 3 inches. Example 1: measured height 15’-2”: Step 1 subtract 3” to create a safety margin 14’-11” Step 2 round down to nearest multiple of 3” Step 3 sign as 14’-9”. Example 2: measured height 14’-6”: Step 1 subtract 3” to create a safety margin 14’-3” Step 2 sign as 14’-3” (rounding down not required as already a multiple of 3”)

Sun trying to shine, and a bit of a breeze blowing.........till later ta ra.

A typical day in Spain then Dry but overcast here, tomorrow looks promising for a ride

Sky is black and it's drizzling! Fuckmine!

A masked bandit is stealing me crabapples by moonlight! Get the shotgun Erl!

Fuckmine its friday? Who stole my thursday. Got some tinted made in italy swim googles to pose in....whoo hoo...

Mostly getting back to the good life Packed up a case with some luxury items, loose twist pile (sounds like folk on this forum) xtra lrg bath sheet size towels, Egyptian cotton sheets, heated throws, good quality chocolate, branston , tracklements extra hot mustard, pork n pickle pies … oh yeah this trip is just waaay hard core Bonus, my good friend who’s joining me wants a car to get about, fair doos I say and hire one. I go over on Monday evening to help her with the annoying covid forms and ask her if her passport and driving licence are in date…. Passport yes, driving licence? Wot they expire? She applies to renew her licence Tuesday morning. I think how great, I get to drive her everywhere in a car like a holiday chauffeur while my bike sits idle, can’t wait Then she text me about 4pm to say look wot turned up. Yep her new driving licence arrived, applied Tuesday arrived Friday

Yet again I report to you that I will be doing fuck all.
