Dropped Shadow up the stables this morning, silly not to have a little bimble at the same time

@Clive is your man regarding an opinion on a project bike that just needs carbs done.

Doggie Walking tomorrow, Ersilia's birthday on Sunday so I'll be attending to her needs as required ...............

Which team is that you're sponsoring Ray ?

Followed by how to flounce afterwards.

What you doing? Quiet one for me, working Friday and Sunday night will watch a lot of rugby and may go for a bimble Sunday weather permitting.

There's a saying: a boat is a hole in the water you throw money in

And their cat they thought runaway 2 years ago

the words.. money pit and and headache spring to mind

Not worth repairing and Monster parts don't fetch big money.

I see you have a steering wheel on your Indian now. Good to see you have a step to get up on it now as well with you being so short.

It would certainly fit a 6’1” short rider.

Has your account been hacked

Very naughty to take his money probably knowing they wouldn’t deliver the bike. A couple of clients have done a similar thing to me, delay writing checks to next day and then go into administration overnight

Merthyr girl lol

That 3 wheeled BMW engined thing Original pump failed, my x boss got a new one and got it running, rough though. Called me in to see what I could do and the new pump wouldn't go. He sent it back and got another and away it went again. I go out there a few days later and the new pump has stopped working. I bring it home and get it going after slapping it around and refit although the pump sounds rough it fires up. Went and stuck some new plugs in this afternoon and sure enough the pump won't work again. Gonna suck some fuel as a sample to be sure but I suspect chinesium shit.

Yes, they're part of completely bikes now.

OMG , I wonder if that's all their stores because they're a big outfit

Oh dear, parts only then

Sort of explains where all the old Monsters went then. I remember them being pretty common in the early 2000's can't remember the last time I saw one.

Yep and if you want to feed a fire with pound notes buy a sailing boat. We did and learnt a lesson from it.

But at least he has found the remote control.

he's not flounced... his mrs sat on him , he is wedged down the side of the settee

A mate of mine had the Benelli 502c for a while and absolutely loved it. Comfortable, plenty of poke and it looks different but luggage is a bit limited I think. Maybe the 350 Meteor or the Hunter could be a good option. Also the Leoncino 500 goes well.

Makes a change from you sniffing the glue.

I wish I was as handy as you but without the Moose fetish .................

Just had a message from another mate on FB about the monster, apparently he and the seller put a borescope down the bores last year to diagnose low compression. Two big scores in the Nikasil liner on the front pot. Definitely a no from me then.

Possibly.

Oi…….i resemble that remark.

Never heard of that, I guess it's like our Hammerite before they fucked it up with a new woke formula.

I would imagine it’s a dog. Belonged to an ex teacher who lived across the road from me. He ran a Paso into the ground years ago and then bought this monster. I haven’t seen it for years but I’m in no doubt it rough in every way, knowing who owned it originally. Sounds like it maybe a pass then. I don’t need an ornament I can’t afford to fix. I might wait for an older CBR600 or a tatty Blade as at least I have more of a clue about them and can get parts.

It's a 24 year old Ducati so unless it's been very well looked after it'll be rough. What service history does it have and when was the last time it was worked on ? Belts having been done is good but carbs needing work could be difficult as parts are hard to get. What's the condition of the fuel tank ? If it's been stood for a while then the fuel tank will need looking at as they suffer from water ingress so it may be rusty inside. The shock mounts will be probably be seized and brake calipers will need attention. Is it £300 to you because you're a mate or is it £300 because it's a dog and you'll have to spend £1500 to get it roadworthy ?

you are a proper fucking idiot.... go back a page. nice try for TOTY...dont worry your a front runner for sure

Someone's feeling a bit needy.

Shit, where's that bloody popcorn emoji gone again

Bobs your man i know nothing of them

its been a real pleasure being TOTY this year.... im worried that @busabeast early dash for it a few months back has thwarted me this year ... the track day fiasco.... and then he had to hide his computer from his father in law story .. and still no video footage... well played sir

It has been there since Tuesday you bellend.

I bought my Suzuki Sfv Gladius from Thunderoad Cwmbran in August, so that means my guarantee is not valid.

Just found this .................. https://www.ducatiforum.co.uk/threads/completey-motorbikes-gone-into-administration.101084/

One of the boys just posted this on the TRF page poor fucker

What about the new Himalayan? I saw one the other day, I little underpowered but it looks good and the finish looks like it will survive the winters.
