He's a fucking cockney imposter , I'm the only Pirate on here ....................... Pete mode off ...........

Don't be silly , we have secret mouring bays and sea caves

The sun came out this afternoon so went around the block on the XR another bike i haven't started in a while gave up kicking it and bumped it down the hill, when i got back took out the AT stopped to take a photo next to this house the people that own it are horsey types they have a full size statue of a horse in their garden amongst other things.

The locals are having a hard time of it there first the local quarry is expanding so their up in arms about that then i came along and got the road next to their houses opened after being closed for around 15 years and now someone has purchsed some of the woodland off to the side of the road and is cutting it down Won't be getting down there Last lane before home

Wet here as well so no painting for me, last thing i done was repair the cement cap on the chimney and paint it, while up there my mate that used to have the Beta paid me a visit with his drone annoying twat lol and the TV aerial bit my head which was nice Photo complete with builders bum

So what are you lot doing, the weather forecast isn't good here but I have loads to do anyway, not limited to getting a picture of our new Prime Minister up in the library next to the picture of the King. Oh I just realised, I don't have a library. I'll have beer instead.

Ride report with pics or it didn't happen.

Fuckmine, Pete's playing fun and games from the grave . How did a post from September 14, 2023 flag up as new ???

Could be worse, I saw three castles yesterday and I did less than 100 miles, I'm sick of the damn things, they are everywhere.

He doesn't know, he has reached that age.

Actually I do, I also have a parrot to sit on my shoulder for the right situation

That’s a good point. I have a lego model of the GS and it really doesn’t look very much like it. Now the lego kits will easily be very realistic!

i like that ... you twats are on the sauce

They certainly went full twat on that. They used to have those cool toaster tanks back in 50s or 60s, now if you look at that it does look like a toaster too from the side, but really not in a nice way. Regardless of the styling, I’m happy I’m not tempted to buy one at all!

A man is driving down the road and his car breaks down near a monastery. He goes to the monastery, knocks on the door, and says, "My car broke down. Do you think I could stay the night?"The monks graciously accept him, feed him dinner, even fix his car. As the man tries to fall asleep, he hears a strange sound. A sound unlike anything he's ever heard before. The Sirens that nearly seduced Odysseus into crashing his ship comes to his mind. He doesn't sleep that night. He tosses and turns trying to figure out what could possibly be making such a seductive sound.The next morning, he asks the monks what the sound was, but they say, "We can't tell you. You're not a monk." Distraught, the man is forced to leave.Years later, after never being able to forget that sound, the man goes back to the monastery and pleads for the answer again.The monks reply, "We can't tell you. You're not a monk."The man sa,ys, "If the only way I can find out what is making that beautiful sound is to become a monk, then please, make me a monk."The monks reply, "You must travel the earth and tell us how many blades of grass there are and the exact number of grains of sand. When you find these answers, you will have become a monk."The man sets about his task. After years of searching he returns as a gray-haired old man and knocks on the door of the monastery. A monk answers. He is taken before a gathering of all the monks."In my quest to find what makes that beautiful sound, I traveled the earth and have found what you asked for: By design, the world is in a state of perpetual change. Only God knows what you ask. All a man can know is himself, and only then if he is honest and reflective and willing to strip away self deception."The monks reply, "Congratulations . You have become a monk. We shall now show you the way to the mystery of the sacred sound."The monks lead the man to a wooden door, where the head monk says, "The sound is beyond that door."The monks give him the key, and he opens the door. Behind the wooden door is another door made of stone. The man is given the key to the stone door and he opens it, only to find a door made of ruby. And so it went that he needed keys to doors of emerald, pearl and diamond.Finally, they come to a door made of solid gold. The sound has become very clear and definite. The monks say, "This is the last key to the last door."The man is apprehensive to no end. His life's wish is behind that door!With trembling hands, he unlocks the door, turns the knob, and slowly pushes the door open. Falling to his knees, he is utterly amazed to discover the source of that haunting and seductive sound......But, of course, I can't tell you what it is because you're not a monk.

Worked last night but jibbed on taking the bike as it was thunder and lightning. Singing over the Fowey Community Centre at 3 pm. Working tomorrow night but hoping to get out on the bike tomorrow day. Fuck that Fred I don't do heights

Rain, Motogp sprint, F1 qualifying. Shopping. Refitted the old oxygen sensor and cleared the code. Been to Beccles for some sausages in the week and no code returned but I've also fitted a 42 tooth rear replacing the 45 to the tracer, think it's messed something up as I can only use the cruise control in top gear. Basted electronics.

He identifies as a pirate, he is gender ambiguous.

WTF, you’re a pirate?

Gender fluid, gender neutral, non-binary…….they can call themselves a fucking teapot for all I care. I’m way past caring if someone is offended by the fact that I don’t agree with them, don’t share the same sense of humour or plain just don’t like them. Fuck it, I’m glad I’m a pirate

Hi all, I'm 19 at the moment and I'm looking at getting in to biking and doing my A2 licence I have no experience riding a motorcycle so, Personally, I think getting an A2 restricted bike is out the question! The style of bike I'm looking at is a naked bike like the Triumph Speed 400, Yamaha MT-03 or Honda CB500F mainly due to insurance costs as for Kawasaki Ninja 400 and Honda CBR500R they were wanting around 2-2.5k for fully comp and about 1K for the naked bikes. Is this the right price or is it a bit high? What are some of the better insurance companies for bikers? I think 4k there abouts get me a decent newish bike with some miles on or should I be looking at a cheaper alternative as I recognise that this bike will definitely be dropped! For training, I've been looking around this includes CBT and I've quoted around 1-1.4k for a weeks course (Some are a bit longer than others) In terms of gear, for a decent full face helmet looks to be about £300 ish, looking at the HJC RPHA-1, Shoei NXR2, Scorpion EXO-R1 Air Evo. Gloves about £90-£100 looking at Alpinestars SP-5 Gloves. Jackets I cant really find a decent one that has good reviews with out being a bit pricey. cheapest one I could find that offers decent protection was the Rev-It! Jacket Eclipse 2 at £140 but some of the Alpinestars are upwards of £300. Trousers I don't have a clue as some people say to get protected motorcycle jeans but others say get the textile trousers but look to be around the £200 mark. Boots I think I'm set on getting the Alpinestars Faster-3 Rideknit at £170 So, all in all I'm looking at about 7-8k in total. Is this too much? is there certain areas I can afford to get the cheaper gear or cheaper bike perhaps? Many thanks,

No i haven't not sure if that will help or not the pilot jets are really small so doesn't take much for them to gum up, it doesn't happen on the XR or the dog and they have been left just as long on times

I bet they get worried when you approach a marina

It looks as if BMW have beaten HD in the fuglyness competition.

Fred, have you tried putting a fuel stabilizer in the tank when it's stood up ?

No, just the shit petrol they sell here now.

Start watching from min 7:15 and get ready for some ranting.

do you own an eye patch, Bob?

We handed it over. That penaltie kick is really a Felix masterpiece. Someone should slap that private school haircut out of him, the twat. And he thought he was going to be the next Ronaldo.

Hi, Thanks for your input, my local garage near me has one so I think Ill most defiantly give that a shot! I'll have a look at the Dainese clothing, I haven't heard of them before Thanks

Hello, it looks like you've done all your research very well. Personally I can't help with licence stuff or anything like that as I'm about 45 years older than you. Good luck with whatever you decide and stick around on here as it would be nice to have the perspective of a youngster on here .

You're not wrong , looks like a Lego bike.

Been for a walk with the dogs down the park while dodging the showers. No more work on the Donkey today, waiting on a fuel cap . Football, beer and pizza later .

Nice one Fred, that bike is still looking good , I also noticed the Vessel screwdriver

Marcel messing about with his 950 reminded me i haven't started the old Africa Twin in a while, It fires up ok but at quarter throttle its popping and banging like a strip of fire crackers so carbs off again to clean the pilot jets ffs All back together again and running fine if there's a break in the weather i shall have a spin around the block

I think you would be hard pushed to beat a CB500F or CB500X or even a Kawasaki ER5 or 6 as a first bike. £3k to £4k should get you something pretty nice. As to riding gear you don't have to spend to much if you don't want to, you can get some decent quality lightly used branded stuff second hand on Ebay. Great place to get some Gortex lined boots for silly money, including Alpinestars. Richa isn't bad riding gear if you must have new, should get a good jacket and trousers for £300. LS2, Caberg and HJC Helmets are pretty good value and good quality new. You can always buy better at a later date but riding gear is a personal thing weather you go for style or just function in the first instance. You will end up with 2 or 3 sets before to long. In the winter I always seem to have one set drying.

A taller rider.

No gender?

Fucking spaniard coach putting that fucking twat Felix to sort the match! Fucking fucks!!!

New battery, happy days
