BACKGROUND OF THE MONTH... any more pics just post and leave the rest to me

I'm going for this one..................

Here's a background for ya....might just have to take another with my new ride....for next month's BIKEotm....

There's some good fishing in this thread at the moment i knew i would rope you in

Don't think he's that nice Bob.

Back from Baza Hospital.......fucking grim Weather!

They walk and even ride amongst us

Went back to Baja with a different group.

So a bloke who rides a 125cc bike all the way from Australia to England, has taken groups from England to Scotland and to the Alps and back doesn't know what he's on about . He might have a northern accent but he's definitely not a 'puddle dodger'

We are off to the pub at 4pm ☺ iam the designated driver......as usual.

it sure is. Some other shots from that morning.

That looks like your bike.... come on own up

Look at this fucker that's the type of thing i'd end up doing https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/gallery/huge-999-response-rescue-motorcyclist-9123989?fbclid=IwAR0EZbfWv2ZuaVl0_BD8w1mYeE-70q1Q0Yk2IebPU-ogT9t9g6bZlNQjV7w

Ignore the van man , it’s pure jealousy because Kent is a tip with no decent views

You fuckers are turning picking the right pictures out of this thread into full time job.

I bought a CBR125F off a student where he'd binned the engine because he didn't realise you need to put oil in it Bought an engine off eBay from a crashed bike and fitted it, made me a nice little earner.

Yes but those sort of tests piss me off, pulling wheelies and shit while it's fun will get you in trouble eventually . I've no interest in watching Billy Big Bollocks riding up and down the road pulling wheelies (even though I used to it) . Nathan rides in the real world not at some journos launch where the twats all try to outdo each other .

On the beach photos are classed as cheating more than photoshop, i withdraw my entry

I guess you would have to go for private health to get this level of treatment?

Freddie’s Libertatia Tool Roll for £98.99 inc carriage My tool roll from Temu for £4.73 Guess I will never be Hip .

I said shipped, not delivered.

The Veglia Ducati ECU was fitted on models up to around 2018, there were still older unregistered models in the shops, In a group I was in there were 6 owners, 4 of the guys bikes ECU,s went POP, they were using the Veglia ECU, which now seem like they are made of unobtainium

Like any brand they have got better with time.

They have been shipped.

I would have another CFMoto, I only had a couple on problems with mine during my ownership, which the guys at the bike shop sorted very quickly. My decision to buy one was based on price (tight git) and I liked the overall look of the bike, but for £4500 on the road I did not expect it to be so good a bike. It's dead now, crappy Veglia Ducati electrics killed it, they are now fitted with Bosch electrics.

Pete has just spat his coffee all over his keyboard

Yes he does......but it's not my world, and it's not the type of riding that I do. Also, it's very rare he ever tests something that's of interest to me. One of the very best reviewers was the late Kevin Ash! Whatever he said, you could take it to the bank! We've still had no definitive answers on his death while riding that GS! I don't put it down to rider error.

Totally unbreakable, till it runs out of oil.

All for a simple oil check.

Salesman Chap I was talking said that they had had 4 x 700 CF Motos back with ECU failure and they had been waiting 4 months for new ECU's which were on back order. I didn't ask any more than that so may very well not be the Bosch ones. I did like the look of a CF Moto 650 GT they had in the shown room it was 18 months old for £4600 but I just couldn't take that leap of faith at the time.

I know you are a Neevesey fanboy and I am not putting him down but the point is there are plenty of opinions out there and we are all free to listen or not and value or not the ones we choose. There are good and bad I will make my own choices. I like Nathan, I don't say he is the best but I am interested in what he has to say. If you actually listened to what Nathan had to say he was pretty hard on the CF Moto but of course it's your prerogative not to if you don't want to. I personally think you would be mad to spunk £10k on one. I remember a candid chat with a local bike sales man who would not touch a CF Moto with a barge pole, given the warranty claims his boss was dealing with. I value that opinion because he was talking about 1st hand experience. If it were my money and I wanted a mid sized ADV bike I would go Japanese made in Japan but it would be a dull world if you couldn't look at the options and opinions before making a choice. And god forbid chat about it on a bike forum.

Nathan isn’t a postman, he adopted the moniker because he rode an Aussie postie bike from Australia back to the UK. He runs Dorothy’s Speed Shop in North Devon and runs all sorts of biking events from Green Laning to tours of Europe etc. He runs a fleet of bikes of all sorts of makes. Interesting guy with no axe to grind. I don’t mind Neevesy but you can follow more than one reviewer, it’s allowed

He is, definitely a good one. Give the guys at Moto.it a look, they’re good. The silly guy at motojournal is also a great rider and incredibly knowledgeable but his french comedic antics sort of distract from it. edit: ignore all portuguese!

It was built that way!

Last time I was in South Wales was when the Herald of Free Enterprise turned turtle.....1987.... Caldicot.

Did not see much regeneration in Rhyl when went the other year.... plenty of degeneration though.

Word on the street around here is that most of construction, non only in the UK but most of Europe, has been funded by England. Real shame you voted out, all the kids here are crying about a swimming pool that’s not going to be made after all.

The best argument against democracy is a 5 min conversation with the average voter. Or 10 seconds if in the USA.

I'm tempted to get a tig but I've yet to find something I can't do with the mig.
