My day yesterday started at 1am with my daughter on the phone panicking as her car had broken down, when i got there she was on a steep hill with her foot on the brake stopping it from rolling into the parked car behind her she said it was rolling back with he handbrake on, it was just raising the suspension when she released the brake so it wasn't rolling back she was stressing over nothing. I got in and the gear lever is doing nothing but it was stuck in gear and i was able to pull it away from the parked car with a bit of burning clutch and park it out the way, it was gone 2am after i sorted that out, i couldn't get back to sleep until an hour before i was due to get up to go out on the bike. Met Gary the sun was shining and it was a comfortable temperature. We had a good day riding some tough lanes until around 3pm when the heavens opened at the furthest point from home i got soaked in minutes got home around 19:30 aching like hell and the knee supports i wore for the fist time rubbed the backs of my knees raw so they wont be used again, it did dry up on the way home where i took the only photo of the day. After a shower and some grub I went out and brought the daughters car home. Had a look at the daughters car this morning and one of the gear selector cables is broken so its a job for the garage, i am now going to spend the rest of the day recovering from yesterday

Things are hotting up, got the pencil coils out, they were quite easy if you lift them right, so now the plugs are exposed, got my new thinwall plug socket out and no, its a 3/8" and I have a 1/4 and a 1/2, not to worry, a friend is coming tomorrow morning with a 3/8 socket set, so to fill in the time I painted the radiator after reverse flushing it.

The last bit of what you said is the reason it's going in the garage i just cant be arsed

Good morning to everyone!!!!! Every year a large group of motorcyclists welcomes the Holy Light from Kavala airport at Greece and accompanies it to the central church of Chrysoupolis city Kavala. This year, 2024, the airport management did not allow entry of motorcycles to avoid any negative events, the block in the node can also be seen in the video, although unpleasant events have never been in the past. This year, the established Holy Ride had a symbolic character. Here's the video: (wear earplugs)!

Then he rubbed himself against it.

You ran it over a few more times..... thats cold blooded murder!

Time for a Scooter I'd say!

What worries us is your talk about fisting and tough lanes with Gary....

Keep telling yourself that! You're about to hit your "Sell by" date!

We had rain overnight and it is still pissing down, it was just starting to drizzle a bit when I put the bike away last night. Proper Scottish bank holiday.

Don't get excited Pete but I started fitting the topbox mount earlier.

I'm more worried about the ever present threat of frostbite right now.

Of course you can……….just like you can make a video with someone out of shot and produce a video that suggests more than there is……….of course, I could be wrong?

Been trying to find out why my pressure washer has so very little pressure, all seems OK. think it's just generally worn out, which is surprising as I have hardly use the thing.

Once you get a few bits and bobs out of the way they're not to bad. Def within you capabilities, if you can be arsed.

Next level farm equipment sounding!

More sales for the Pan America then.

Not yet LOL

I forgot to say i had to perform a mercy killing when out yesterday and i feel the need to tell you all to get it off my chest. I was riding along and saw a what i thought was a lump of mud on the road but as i got on top of it it turned out to be a baby rabbit. The front wheel passed it but the stupid thing went to run instead of staying still and went under the back wheel i didn't feel a thing but i suspect it was different for the poor rabbit, i went back to check on it and it was still alive but obviously not going to survive so i couldn't just leave it and had to finish it off, quite sad really if someone prepared and cooked it for me i would quite happily eat it but found myself shutting my eyes and wincing as i ran over it a few more times to finish it off.

I'm in work, It's so quiet on the estate that I can actually here the birds singing outside .

Fucking freezing here, only got to 24 with clear blue skies, 9 overnight and a shivering 22 tomorrow, also clear blue.

You need a nice Rieju.

You couldn't ride it before. I took a wee bimble out then home and gave her a good wash, got all the winter shite off, looks like the Muc Off ACF50 copy did a decent job of protecting everything. Looking forward to the new shocks now.

Why not? You believe in God........and there appears to be more sightings of Ghosts than of God.

You done the right thing … @Buckster should fred say a prayer for little thumper tonight ?

No experience with Hyundai I’m afraid. My Karcher was not pressuring a while back, the motor was running but whereas if you don’t pull the trigger it should turn off once it gets up to pressure the motor just kept running. There was a defect in the cylinder head which let water leak out of the high pressure side. The new cylinder head was about £40. Pretty easy to change too. the original CH was shit plastic, the new one is aluminium.

You're a Cockney! You fuckers are never right!

Well it's an object that appears to be flying and so far is unidentified so there's that.

Hyundai......... i have cleaned all the lime scale (our water is very hard) out of the pipes, well as far as I can reach, repaired the on off water switch/valve.... the inlet water filter is clean, I am beginning to suspect it maybe the lance thats partially blocked, or pipe to the lance.

What make is it Clive? Does it run ok, switch off/on duty just shit pressure?

Yes and no its a Ford KA pretty much a fiat 500 in a different dress

Gear selector cables? Is it a Fiat?

Is that white dot top right a UFO

Don't overdose on the chocolate Fred ............. .

You can look forward to skin cancer for Christmas.

Still haven't ridden a bike since I hit 70! I'm wondering if I can still do it?

Same kind of job + clutch cover repair...

I don't know how he does it but the feckless twat certainly gets some nice loan bikes nowadays. He is right though there is something about the new Nortons. Too expensive and less than perfect in places but there is something about them. Had a real close look at one yesterday. I like it a lot.

Probably a more objective review.

Pads are in and calipers loosely mounted, they look so good the lowers look like need a coat of paint as well. Front wheel out and masking time. Radiator to do next, nearly there.

First cook your calipers then hang them on the line and spray them with VHT cast aluminium paint, they're out there in the sun baking away so I will soon be fitting the pads and bolting them back in place. Need to get some 14x10x1 crush washers to attach the brake lines, robbing basterds at KTM want about $5 each plus postage, need six if I am to do the rear brake as well, found them online at six for $7.90 inc postage, thats saved me a decent bottle of red and a steak, it pays to shop around.

@XTreme anybody you know Pete?

She's incredible!
