One for @boboneleg

Beautiful morning today so I rode the Sled into work

Not a bad start to the day. Off to give my middle daughter her first driving lesson today. If I’m not back you know the reason

Had a great day on the bike today. A little warm in the afternoon but that just meant I didn't see any other bikes on the road, which I'm quite happy with. Didn't stop many times, but did take some pictures when I did. Everything is hot now, just had a shower and my washing gel was hotter than the water Now cooling and relaxing, then a walk in 20 minutes to go have a proper piece of grilled meat for dinner, probably too much to drink and then maybe I'll post a ride report for today. If I don't then it's because I really had too much to drink. More coming tomorrow. I love my bike.

At my daughters graduation should have brought my camera bloody phone is shit at distance

I survived lesson one. Got her pulling away and changing into second gear. Some steering, clutch and brake control. Lots to learn but kept her laughing rather the stressed and anxious. Nothing like a deserted WW2 airfield for plenty of space to learn. Google Davidstow Airfield if you are interested. Hopefully I will get her sound on basic car control before she starts formal lessons. Good to be in her company for a couple of hours. Bodmin Moor off in the distance Somebody else up there teaching his boy to ride. I may take Chloe up there in the future, shame it’s 26 miles from home.

Fine thanks I just had nothing to add to the forum, it has been a period (still got this bad back) of doing very little, so had nothing to say.

Fucking bored Dad, she was one of the first ones through so had to endure everyone else before i could leave

Holy thread resurrection Batman

Well cracked my first 1000 miles on the CBF today. Been pretty Honda really just been on the button when ever I have needed it. Have put a set of tyres on it and changed the oil but apart from farkles and fuel haven’t needed to spend anything. I really like it happy to bimble around but is plenty quick enough when the revs are up. Mind you got completely spanked by a fire blade on Liskeard by pass today. No surprise there and backed off before it got silly.

Does Biggles know that your f*cking up his landing strip

I always liked them from the day I first saw them , they remind me of an XT500 on steroids. The fact that I work in a Ducati specialist is a big plus as I don't have to worry about servicing etc, but it does have one of the best Ducati engines ever in it .

Rude

Lowrider, for short people like @Marcel le Moose Fondler, unless his sister beats him up and takes it off him.

Started the day with a 5k walk as the sun came up. Then had to take my fuck nut of a son to Bodmin scooter centre to get a new back tyre. I liked the guys who work there. I would go there to have work done, reasonable price and seemed pretty knowledgeable. Daft boy is now talking about getting a bike as apparently riding a ped is embarrassing . Obviously his mates are taking the piss. I did tell him at the time but what the fuck do I know.

I’ve got my lads next week … even he’s not that bothered but all my in laws etc want photos. Wife will still be in the US so will be me on my Todd. Currently in Florida where it’s ungodly hot, humid as hell … but we have had some real hum dingers of thunderstorms. Mother in laws car broke down yesterday, battery knackered so fixed that today.

I went straight from work to Castle Combe bike night. First bike night I’ve been to for over 20 years.

Or even brembo directly? There are a few Italian online shops with nice prices on brembro things, but I guess it might be a nightmare to post it to the UK.

Maybe you can get the same part number used for a Ducati, cheaper? Aprilia makes nice bikes, some with nice engines, but parts always seem to be a problem when the model goes out of production.

Got a call to look at a sl1000 Falco. Bike had Fallen onto its left hand side and lost the clutch. New master cylinder required. How expensive is this Italian shite.

I really like that bike Bob. Out of interest if you didn't have any connections with Ducati would you have bought that bike. Its because its a Ducati I've never given it a second glance but do like it.

I was going to say that I like the Low Rider but I'm not going to now

I got the tank of my sm today, what a c*nt of a job, however its only taken me 4 years so things are progressing apace.

I don't understand how taking a photo of Dave will help unless he's holding the part

Should have named her Zoe.

That is the nicest looking Harley today, I think.

Someone else just said the same, Bob to the bat phone.

Yeap. 11.9 mm bore. Don't much like the idea of a 22mm universal incase it's too much for the slave. Repair kit available but not sure it's right looking at pics.

£250 over here.

Proud dad.

Bit rude

Oldest American motorcycle maker on continuous production. Harley Davidson, read it and weep dwarf boy.

Fair point

I said manufacturer, not brand name. Saying that if it was the oldest brand name it would have been Daimler. Indian came and went and never amounted to anything, then they put the name on snow mobiles with wheels.

The oldest motorcycle manufacturer in the world inspiring the youngest minds.

It’s mostly going to be places from which I’ve posted a lot before already, though. I’m really looking forward to not stopping for a few hours.

Gender assuming Dave ............

2 females, must of been a Yam wheel.
