Bella Napoli

Talking about potential rust on some less than premium brand bikes I thought I would show you a project I abandoned very early on. A mate of mine gave me a Lexmoto Valencia twist and go scoot for my boy. We though it would get him on the road for a few hundred. The scoot belonged to his aunty who passed away and he just wanted it gone. So I went and got it and pushed it back home, he lives across the park from me. Like he said it was a bit rough but had only done 498 miles in his Aunts hands from new. I had a look over it when I got it back and was shocked by how much it had rusted. It did live outside under a cover but had seen no wet riding or road salt. First things first I wanted to hear it run before spending anything. There was a vacuum type pet cock that was locked shut and the carb was also locked up. I them connected a battery and got it running on brake cleaner. It sounded as sweet as a nut and wanted to run. All the electrical stuff worked. Anyway I thought get some air in the tyres, the tyre valve crumbled in my hand, I tried to get the wheel off and the axel was rusted solid. At this point it was obviously going to be a lost cause. Battery, Tyres, fuel system, brakes and god knows what else, just to get a functional rusty heap. So now it is garden art, I have been meaning to ask my mate if he wants it back but I reckon it will be going to the scrappy. The point I am getting to is these things need to be carefully looked after or they will dissolve before your eyes. Oh and the Dear Boy was on rat patrol.

Maybe Buckster...much easier to take the piss out of a harley with a trailer and with it being full of bibles we'd have to make sure a match was at hand to burn it

It's Time to Rout the Bolshie Bastards. Whose with me ?

The usual bun fight in the airport, did I mention that I hate airports

After brexit fuel is only £1 a gallon here now.

I'm convinced zzzzak is one of Pete's trolls, the only reason the persona exists is to create traffic on the site by spouting mindless conspiracy bullshit that he knows will elecit a reaction from anybody capable of rational thought. nobody's seen him, hes can'tpost a pic of himself on a bike ( cos he doesn't really exist) and where does he purportedly live? Oh, what a surprise, somewhere where there's no other members near enough to go and verify his existance.... Coincidence? I think not.

This isn’t dagoville

This can't be accidental can it?

Plus you get Green Shield Stamps again now.

Holiday here tomorrow and most companies closed on monday too. Today I get a bonus quiet day as it is holiday in Spain. All’s quiet, being a vet assistant for a few days.

In all of the years that I've been long distance riding, I've never needed tools once. Probably around 400,000 miles without issues. I did have to buy tires in Oregon once, but that's it. Maybe I'm just lucky. But I've always had new-ish bikes and put on new tires before they're required - so that helps.

That's an average weeks mileage for me and i work 8 hours a day on top of that, some weeks are twice the miles, stop your moaning you great big pansy

That does sound like a conspiracy

Everyone in the world gets to benefit from the excellence of Harley Davidson.

Bacon.

Is there anything that I don't get blamed for?

That’s a relief……..that means we can have a golf section instead.

How old is that plane........it looks like it should have propellers?

See that's the shocker I remember when the old lady in question bought the scoot new as she lived close to me and it was parked in the square where I live. I always thought it looked pretty nice when I saw her ride it or it had the cover off, obviously it got left when her health failed but apart from not being garaged it lead a charmed life. As I said I was shocked when I got it to bits and saw how bad it really was. I knew it needed a front master cylinder, battery and maybe tyres but thought a good clean and a polish would have it something like it, sadly mistaken. I sort of hope the newer stuff is better quality but I wouldn't bet on it.

Your bike looks like that underneath where you can’t see it. You need one of these.

I think I'll pee somewhere else then!

How many do you need for fresh pants? We may be able to crowd fund.

Maybe, but Pete never told her about this place.

Oy! fuck nuts I will have you know I am not even limping now

Other than pulling carbs on the DR in sandy conditions I only ever seem to use my tools on other peoples bikes. I did adjust my cruising pegs on my way down to Wales on Sunday but that was just for preference as I had originally set them using my other seat.

oh.. the Gayness of owning a Harley

That would be once every ten years for Pete.

This. It's 75 miles to my shop - each way X 5 days / week = 750 miles each week. I probably do another 30-40% more in fucking around each day. edit: I checked Spain's fuel prices - equivalent of $6.75 USD per gallon. So that does kinda suck. It's about $3.30 per gallon here.

Instead of a section for gender fluid motorcycles, how about a section for the conspiracies and truths and angry complaints about immigrants? You could put that in the bottom of the forum and it would be easy to ignore.

I did the slideshow, oh boy do I wish I had that amount of talent. Fast Idle is the man, do a search on ADV.

Anybody can start a Poll if they want!

That's a lady spanner.

They did try rehoming Refugees in Swansea......but they found it more dangerous than the War Zones they left behind!

If he'd got the mod gig we'd all be travelling around in vans

No we shouldn’t … @XTreme sack him

They're nearly all fucking useless.....this place isn't exactly the epicentre of quality topics!

The main board would be empty then?
