I was on site today and when it was time to head home the forecast was doom, gloom and shitloads of rain. I put my waterproof trousers on and another layer under my bike jacket and sweated by bollocks off all the way home in the dry. Fucking weathermen, wankers the lot of them. Sun is forecast tomorrow and I have to go back to site. If I get wet I am going to pop something awful into a jiffy bag and post it to Michael Fish.

Na..the weekend kids (crackheads) have gone home.....it is now full of doddery old gits...er wait a minute.

Lovely here in Ingoldmells 22c....sat out and had a pint..

XTreme: "I had the GS for 7 weeks and it spent 5 fucking weeks (in total) at the dealers". Skippy: "HOLD MY BEER".

Fifteen years time? I’ll still be waiting for the Kawasaki tank and still trying to get the DR running. Thanks, I’m fucking depressed now.

After over 4 months of continual heat with no breaks.........today it's down to a pleasant 24C! Unfortunately it's pissing down as well! Can't fucking win can I?

Home now the site Internet went down, so tablet and phone became useless, so we could not cast Disney and Netflix to the TV, wife was not best pleased..... she threw a hissy fit and started packing the car Nice drive home though, empty roads.

At the moment. Reading the link below reminds me, we never found our dustbin after the hurricane in 87, so he's asking for a postal gift. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Fish

We're both good to go now for West End OAP discounts Phil!

Don’t go there Pete

she couldn't go a night with out netflix ... should of give her a

85.................

This Saturday there is a (Classic) scooter show about 1 miles away from wherevi live...and Sunday iam off to Doncaster Robin Hood Airport to see XH558 doing high speed taxi run.... ✈

I see blue skys now.

We’re getting scattered strong showers all over, but some areas are so dry or burned that water needs a long time to start hidrating the ground, otherwise it flows right over and just causes floods. Considering last month’s fires some rivers will be contaminated with ash saturated waters now. This is all according to plan though, rains through this week and maybe a bit of next one, and then a second summer comes to provide me with a sunny trip.

Just so you’re up to date @XTreme it’s now 8 weeks since I dropped the bike off to be repaired. Cunts.

Raining here , tomorrow looks ok though

Need to go pickup some plywood for Woody, cant belive how much wood costs, holy chit how people build nowdays is b eyoned me.

Nice thinderstorm going by breaking up a dry spell.

This is ending up worse than my GS trainwreck Ray!

Not a joke, but just amazing. Watch the fuel drop.

Do modern innertubes eventually go pourous? how often are you supposed to replace them? I'm having a bit of an odd phenomenon with mine at the moment. The tiger has spked wheels, so runs tubes. they're fitted in "tubeless" tyres ( pirelli scorpion III) and have been without problem untill this summer. With the temperature range having been larger then usual this summer I have expected a certain amount of pressure variation but have been finding that both front and rear tyres need systematically pumping up, and always the same amount. the rear ( officially running at 2.9kilos pressure) will be missing 0.4K when I check with cold tyres wether they've been let overnight or for a number of days, The front ( usually at 2.5kilos) will be missing 0.2kilos. This has been the same EVERY time I check tyre pressures, which has been every time I ride cos I know they'll be low) I use a pressure guage to check the pressures and then a foot pump with a manometer on to pump them up. Both guages correspond. I have found no leak at the valves ( and anyway, if it was a valve leak it would surely continue leaking, not just drop the pressure by 2 or 400 grammes respectively... and to have BOTH valves go dodgy at the same moment...! Unlikely in the extreme I would imagine. So, my next thought is " Pourous tubes". is that still a thing with modern rubber? I ran tubes on the transalp too so have been using them for 20 odd years and never suffered from it before. Any other explanation? Just to throw out any theories you may come up with, I corrected the pressures on saturday morning befor leaving for a weekend trip. Over the weekend did 800 and odd km's getting home sunday night. Checked tyre pressures monday morning and they were spot on, not lost a gram! and yet they've systematically lost pressure overnight for the last few months.

Who doesnt?

Before he retired he moved to a website called Netweather (which I loved) and continued to broadcast from his home until a couple of years ago. His disaster was everyones disaster and he was massively misinformed by the met office as was every other broadcaster of the time but somehow (being popular) he copped the full blame. He was much more reserved, extra conservative on his predictions after that and a grumpy, reluctant 'Netweather' was born. He broadcast from his study and gave you the worse possible outcome of any forecast. This meant if Micheal says the weathers good its definitely f'in good

Is he still living

Shoei people were dropped at birth.

Pissing down here today, it's definitely going to get colder this weekend as I'm going camping on the bike

Going home tomorrow late afternoon..

Beautiful here.

We needed it......but I just want it to clear by the weekend!

Because he is a cunt.

work. working on boats everything is done kneeling down and ofen at arms length, my knees are fucked cos of that. my shouldaers are fucked cos of getting in and out of confined spaces and / or lifting weights (bateries) or wrenching at arms length. Back is fucked to to the endless working in confined spaces or leaning over an engine. Rheumatoid polyarthritis is not helping...
