I had time today so I fitted the new rocker breathers, rear cylinder is a pain because of clearance with the frame so I had to get a 7/16 torque extender which I ended up ordering from the states. Anyway the new style breathers assemblies which were gifted to me by Edinburgh Harley Davidson solved some of the clearance issues. Hopefully no more oil guffing into the air filter for a few thousand miles. First the rear cylinder, removing the old breather. Comparing old and new. New breather fitted. Then the front cylinder. It all looked nice and clean in there which is a good sign. Gaskets looked okay but I fitted new ones anyway, put it all together and warmed the motor up and no leaks so jobs a good one. Couldn't do a test ride as the mot ran out yesterday, I must make a note on the calendar. Going in on Tuesday morning for that.

Cycled down to the beach today. Only the one photo though. The headwind on the way back was brutal!

Dropped my wheel off to the guy that's going to rebuild it, he's not in the best shape so got my fingers crossed and hoping he doesn't die before i get my wheel back LOL

Like living in wales you mean

One for @yen_powell

Is she back then?

He doesn’t understand reflections, he can’t use mirrors because gingers don’t have a reflection.

Googling it now!

That's called grass it's a plant people use for Lawns and pasture for animals, you wont recognise it because it's usually brown in Spain

At 12000 or 12500km into this tire, I think it's got 1 or maybe 2000km on still on the rear. Grip on the road is still very nice and confidence inspiring, they're a little skittish when riding faster and forgetting you're on mixed tires when breaking harder. I'm very happy with them, it's a top travel tire for a big trail. These tires invite me to have the bike dirty a lot more often than before. I will certainly have another set of these for going to Morocco next time, which might happen this year in late September to November, I'm completely sold on these tires. Don't want to set off to that with half worn tires though, so might have to fit something else in between, maybe try something new in between, I was given a good recommendation on the Pirelli STR but they look a bit gay and maybe not that great for such a heavy bike?

It's American.

Ask Pete what his forecast is like LOL

I think you mean like living in Spain we got it good here at the moment

No, I mean 4c with the sun shining is a lot less grim than 4c with overcast or rain.

Quite enjoying his latest adventure. Do get the feeling he is flying by the seat of his pants though.

No, he died.

A Garelli Tiger was not exactly a fanny magnet, something to do with the pedals I reckon

Don't tell me you weren't having a dabble?

Perv alert

Very neat job.................... and Tony the tools never had to touch a spanner

Parts don't wear in the back of a van.

Nothing against the dude, but it's like I thought, after Itchy Boots they'll all follow. Next winter they'll be serving full english breakfasts in the ferry

A good one!

New one looks Chinese! Which is good, they can make things the old planet killing way, quality!

On the last day of my trip and have been riding through hot deserts for a week - checked the weather at home and it's 4C. Four fuckin' C. Gonna freeze going home today.

Should be fine as long as he only uses quarter throttle then.

Another song Terry Wogan introduced me to.

I think I posted on the 'other' forum yesterday , apparently my post has to be verified or something first ............. Note: Your post will require moderator approval before it will be visible. Is that your department @Six30 ?

My rear wheel is going off to be rimmed and re-spoked tomorrow and the rear sprocket i ordered turned up today, only gone and ordered the wrong one it's not even the right pitch for fuck sake

Pete has been bummed in better places than that.

Pick a day after lots of rain it must be spectacular then

Time for a Northern soul classic . I used to shake a leg to this back in the day , now I struggle just to tap my fingers to it

I might have a go at that later in the year

I know Tell me about it

That was a short walk Bob probably 20 minutes down to it but its a steep gravel covered path on the way down and after that there's some steep wooden steps on the other side which aren't too bad really coming back up the hill had me stopping to rest on every tree i'm just not fit at all LOL

And is there somewhere she could hide your body?

The wife had me out walking again this afternoon i'm sure shes trying to kill me off the walk back up from it was long and steep We visited the tallest straight drop waterfall in south wales Henrhyd Falls. Not very impressive today as the flow was low but a bit of fame attached to it as it was used as the entrance to the Batcave in the Batman film The Dark Knight Rises.
