I'm using my Xtreme card today as it's blowing a hoolie and pissing down

Feeling like crap today, I might have a bit of a bug, had dinner yesterday and it was hard to keep it down. I am now sat outside having a hot tea like an old woman. Every sip feels like it upsets my stomach. After arriving home I got a big broom and got to work on the back of the house, between newly formed soil from decaying leaves and olives there were three bin fulls of stuff, got too tired from doing that so do think they are related. Will sit a bit having the rest of my tea then watch tv, but might wash the bike in the afternoon if the day brightens up a little. I do plan on going for a multi day ride sometime next week and you can’t leave on something like that with an already dirty bike!

Really bored today so decided to waste some time on the lathe, i wanted to make some kind of funnel for topping up the two stroke reservoir on the Beta because when your finished pouring you always get a glug as you take the bottle away and it spills all over the place i could use a normal shop bought funnel but wheres the fun in that LOL. This is it made out of some Nylon screen guides i brought home from work And this is it in use because its a snug fit it doesn't need holding and the end of it doesn't dip into the oil in the reservoir now what else can i do today LOL

No i find it a great bike and remember that every time i ride it, Only three things i could criticize about it is the seat height, the seat itself is a bit uncomfortable and it's a noisy bike as in wind noise. The only reason i would move it on is because i just don't have a use for that type of bike if i'm not going to the motorcycle rally's with the wife or riding any long distances as i get all i need from the trail bikes. The old Africa Twin i have been keeping to do a nut and bolt restore on if i ever retire but that will remain to be seen lol

I'm not that bored LOL

Well I have been out on my bike this morning. Just had to pop down the market to get some bits. Think the wind here is keeping most of the bikes in.

Funnily enough I did more miles per year in the UK than I do over here! I couldn't get out as often due to the weather, so when I did, I went much further afield.......usually meeting up with @Renegade and the Cardiff crew, or BustupBiker and Bruce!

Us saying goodbye to @XTreme

I go out every day. To the bottom of the garden and feed the rodents,

used to go to the palace lido in the iom miss wet t shirt and drink your beer out of 4 pint plastic jugs sadly the place is no more

yeh fuck that Clive .. just day indoors mate... for a change

today around us again was cold windy and lashing down all day so we stayed in

Not got a tent (dont bloody want one )...hardly drink (lightweight me ) and can't hear the music, so I feel it may be a waste of my time.

A bit late in life for me to start going to a rally. There is the Bikers Rock & Blues festival near here, seems expensive, and I don't like Rock or Blues.

£31 to get in is a fucking ripoff!

Their not ripping the real bikers off Clive only the wannabe ones, cos if you go on a bike its free to park

NEC Motorcycle Live.....£31 entrance fee on the day ......Car parking £17..95p unless you book entrance tickets and car parking online, then it's £12......They know how to rip bikers off.

and don't get me started on who decided eggs were a good idea, eating something brown that a chicken squeezed out of its arse?

No need to the wife took care of that before she went out this morning

Nothing since he posted on here about a year ago Clive.

It's absolute shite here today (again) grey and manky and drizzling. Anyway, I wouldn't have been out as I'm still on nurse duties , Paolo is a bit better but Ersilia is still coughing like a horse.........

ark at this twat ..Mr Spanish sunshine, if you was over here your bike wouldn't of seen the light of day for years

1990 Kawasaki ZXR 400 and 1991 Kawasaki ZXR 400. My cousin had the 1990, it was the first motorcycle I sat on as a Kid. One of his best friends bought the 1991 model. The used to take me to school on them. These 2 bikes gave me (an 11 year old kid) the "Bike Bug". Loved motorcycles since those days! After all these years i still find them beautiful!

Had a Vindaloo last night and now my arse really stings… I couldn’t afford to pay the bill and the chef bummed me

Sam Dingle

Not since the 40's Clive

Going out tomorrow, need petrol in the car, it has been a while since I filled up, it must be 3 weeks at least .

As i'm getting older i'm starting to feel the same way but not ready to give it all up just yet.

Not an investment bike just a bike i regretted selling in the 90's so bought another to use and maybe to rebuild in retirement to keep me busy if i cant do anything else or if i was offered a stupid price for it, it would go tomorrow LOL

sleeping in a leaking soaking wet cold tent freezing your nuts off in a muddy puddle screw that for a game of soldiers not my scene either

We used to have some great bike shows in the past and i have fond memories of them but all gone now, Motorcycle rally's are different to bike shows now as they don't usually have a bike show anymore or a wet T shirt competition LOL. The show that Pete went to the other week wouldn't be called a rally here. Rally's here usually involve camping, live bands drinking and much merriment of like minded people who ride bikes. I didn't attend many this year and if it's the same next year i may well get rid of the CRF1000 as i have no use for it in fact i think i put it on the road this year to attend one rally with the wife.

I had them on a bap for lunch, really liked them. They did stink and made for interesting for a couple of hours, luckily the weather was nice and I rode with the helmet open most of the time

It is compared to the 1970's yes but most motorcycle rallies here are £30 for the weekend and you don't get an indoor show in fact the Dragon rally next year is £35 for one night EDIT sorry the dragon is £30 it is 35 euro's they list the price in euro's as well because a lot attend from Europe

Unlike you lot.....I actually ride a motorcycle!

I rode there the last time I went, it was a cold, wet miserable ride there and back. I much preferred the BMF show at Peterborough.

Ummmmmmmmmmmmm , that's just a sauce to put on your seafood . It's just that @Six30 seems to prefer put it on his Sunday roast dinner kebab

Get in on a Sunday afternoon

Just bought this mini compressor type thing to carry on my bike. Seems to work great, longevity will be the measure of it. But so far pleased, only £18 cheapie from Ebag so not the end of the world if it doesn’t last for years.

I'm also bored LOL

Just watched the highlights of Vegas Gran prix , looked a good race

Talking about nurses, where is our forum nurse ? I hope her mum hasn't set a trap for her

Any of you ballsuckers actually riding your bikes today? Or did you all buy them as investments?

Had another good run on the Beta today it was a 75 mile loop local to where i live, Last night there were eight riding but this morning two played their Xtreme cards and backed out because the ground was too wet another retired after twisting his knee on the first lane, we had only ridden a quarter of a mile from the start point LOL. So that left five of us all with similar bikes and skill level, it was very wet muddy and slippery with deep water in places the perfect conditions for interesting trail riding. We did have a few showers of rain but nothing torrential like we have been having, On the hill tops it was misty with strong gusts of wind making riding the ruts harder to stay upright than it normally is. There were no other incidents on the ride and everyone managed to stay upright all day but i did witness a few close ones much to my amusement. The ride was flowing nicely all day so no time for photos i will have to see if anyone else on the ride took any. The seat was still comfy and i arrived home with no monkey butt i'm still impressed with it but keep thinking of how comfy the standard height one must be and can see me changing it for one in the future. I hosed the bike off on the way home ready to change the oil. All ready for the next outing now.

I've still got this one

I can only ride one at a time and at 50,000 miles and not being ridden I thought it would be great if someone would bring her back to life. It hadn't moved since 2020 and was just wasting away.

You were too lazy to do ride reports, now you're too lazy to take pics? How long before you're too lazy to ride your bike as well?
