Yeah, they identified him as a ginger ponce with a penchant for midgets? He had to leave quick.

Battery is here and on charge. Weighs about a quarter of the one I have taken out. The old one is looking a bit bulgy on the sides.

This is the box the pilot jet for the XR turned up in yesterday i don't mind but it arrived Thursday but nobody was in to take the delivery so was redelivered yesterday if it was in a padded envelope it would have gone through the letter box. The box was a perfect size for the 24mx stickers that came with it though

He's like the grim reaper, loves a bit of misfortune or drama. Negatron!

Been to the hardware shop to get some metal fencing for the top of the Pagoda......protection for the tortoises against vultures. Then when of those surreal moments happened when their radio switched from endless wailing Spanish music to Black Sabbath "Paranoid".

Ersilia has gone to Jerez today for some sort of dancing festival. I've told her to get me something Moto GP related , sod the dancing

And i now realise why the postage was £4.95 for a £3.95 part coning bastards their free stickers weren't so free

My bike is a 2008 and this will be its third battery so it is averaging 1 battery every 8 years, now remind me how long that battery has been in the Affy?

I don't care you gave up your claim to being welsh when you deserted your country just because things were getting a little to hard for you.

MAG is distancing themselves from FEMA over electrification. For good reason as well as all FEMA do is wax lyrically about how everyone should accept electric motorcycles, with current battery technology, electric motorcycles are basically commuters, it will kill motorcycling. See here.

Be careful your fat arse doesn’t exceed that weight limit.

Ride Report tomorrow then?

That’s the new battery on, it has some serious cranking power. I have the NOCO charger on my old battery now to see it it can recover it, although I doubt it.

Was going to the garage to put some petrol in the scoot, got my summer glove out for the 1st time this year, pulled them on and they have almost disintegrated

To be honest i'm surprised it's lasted this long, i'll probably put a new one on this year as a precaution because the bike is always in a heated garage it can give you a sense of false security. it happened with my CB everything was fine until i had one cold night camping and the battery was dead in the morning.

In the kids play area.

I quit MAG along with a lot of other people when the present chairman was elected. I might rejoin if he’s replaced.

Hmm, Mandis just had a new battery on the Cbf so it won't be long. Same Yusa battery of my Tracer which only lasted 5 years.

Gay

Tomorrow I’m out on the bike all day .. you losers …. then back to base which should be busy they got some carnival thing going on in the village

You got Marcels new name all wrong, it should be Marcel le Moose Molester.

Are you having English lessons from Le moose fondler

No, just going for a coffee and to pay a bill for regular maintenance on Sofia’s Speed Triple. You vulture!

Tomorrow I shall walk Costa, then wash the GS which is still full of sand and filthy from the rainy trip of a few days ago. Then will have lunch and in the afternoon take it to Porto for a coffee and a visit to my mechanic friend.

Working tonight and Sunday night. Been asked to go on two different rides tomorrow but gotta sleep. May get out on the bike Sunday.

The moose herds?

I'll try a different bait next time

Must be protected by the man fat running out of your arse.

Should have bought a Honda my 2016 Africa Twin is still on the original battery

A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband is not in bed. She puts on her robe and goes downstairs to look for him. She finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a hot cup of coffee in front of him. He appears to be in deep thought, just staring at the wall. She watches as he wipes a tear from his eye and takes a sip of his coffee. 'What's the matter, dear' she whispers as she steps into the room, 'Why are you down here at this time of night The husband looks up from his coffee, 'It's the 20th Anniversary of the day we met'. She can't believe he has remembered and starts to tear up. The husband continues, 'Do you remember 20 years ago when we started dating, I was 18 and you were only 16,' he says solemnly. Once again, the wife is touched to tears. 'Yes, I do' she replies. The husband pauses The words were not coming easily. 'Do you remember when your father caught us in the back seat of my car' 'Yes, I remember' said the wife, lowering herself into the chair beside him. The husband continued. 'Do you remember when he shoved the shotgun in my face and said, "Either you marry my daughter or I will send you to prison for 20 years' 'I remember that, too' she replied softly. He wiped another tear from his cheek and said "I would have gotten out today."

Nice avatar.

Did that one have Pirelli tires? That might be the answer.

Not a joke though, and if that’s why people go for one then fairplay to them.

Very true given the ageing demographic of bikers.

Very brave of BMW, to put that in that new 1300, shows they're confident with recals and having dealers work for free fixing bikes It's smart of manufacturers to do these robotic gearboxes, making it easy for people with arthritis and bad legs to continue buying a riding expensive bikes.

Everything's fucked.

The Genttlemen, the movie, it’s good fun! ”there’s fuckery afoot”, great line

https://www.cornwalllive.com/news/news-opinion/visitor-describes-ghost-town-visit-9256831?utm_source=linkCopy&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=sharebar Good and accurate poem Empty The pretty streets beside the sea Belie a sickening sound Of morbid wealth that took by stealth The buildings in the town. And most of them are empty, Few people can be found. They made their many millions Moving money in the Smoke Before they saw a stunning view; Then bought it off some bloke. And now that small investment Has doubled at a stroke. Many a fierce fishermen Who lived in homes like these, Would come home to their weary wives From work upon the seas And spend their Sunday mornings In church upon their knees. Their sadness is to see their homes Closed up, silent and bare. Only open when their rich Plush owners can be there. No local accents sounding Is more than they could bear. Cornish folk are now priced out Of property by the sea. And through the blinded windows We see prosperity, Though now these streets are empty Except for you and me. A single, silent seagull Swoops upon its prey. Then verdant country greets us As we drive away And look back on the ghost town As silence mars the day. Francis Charters
