First blackberries of the year

Stunning morning again.

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

Finally got the new vise mounted yesterday....

Yebbut there’s trail braking involved

It's not for me , I can't get past the look of it

Cheers Bob. I'll contact the owner see if he wants to go for the wemoto option. The more I look the more it looks like it'll go together.

I never noticed the 'it' missing.

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

course he didn't ...he dont ride any way ..its more of a trundle

I had the dog MOT'd this morning think i'm going to have to find a new place to get it done he put an advisory on it because the number plate lights were not working cheeky fucker From there i headed over the Rhigos mountain to look at one of the lanes in Merthyr, someone reported it has been washed out so wanted to see what could be done to repair it. It wasn't looking any different to the last time i was here but was definitely going to disappear this winter. Then i got thinking how heavy is that slab of concrete and picked up a lump of wood to lever it and it moved, so i cut me a longer branch with my trusty saw and set to work on it I levered it around to a better position then started levering it up a bit at a time At this stage the work was getting a bit hard but i'm a stubborn fucker and refused to be defeated With a bit more poking, prying and sweating it was up and over That was a job i wasn't planning on doing today i just got caught up in the challenge got to have been over 500KG, I will have to return to backfill it i was too fucked to do any more plus i need a shovel.

You have good taste, it's a great bike to ride, if I bought one and I would if I had the space I would need forwards on it but otherwise it is bang on.

That's Ian Sinclair, his son Alex races our bikes (and others) , he was there as well. I still remember Yoshi having long hair https://roadracingnews.co.uk/scarborough-chat-fox-classic-racings-alex-sinclair/

No he's an ex enduro and desert racer, older and slower now but still getting out there these newspaper articles on him made me chuckle

Come on , I know you’re still there. Tell us what you’re up to ?

I’m not in work until Monday but I’ll have a look then

It was Nearly 9.00pm Pedro

It’s the Mitas tyres rep own bike , he’s had it lowered. Even I could ride it, Tony’s standard bike is much too tall for me .

I found a repair kit on wemoto but it has a push rod with it so will need a different lever. And they do supply a non gen lever, not sure it'll fit their repair kit though. 11.9mm bore.

Was that Yoshi the japanese dude who rode a CRF 1000 like yours from Japan to here?

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

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.

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.

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