I just started riding a couple of years ago, even though I have my bike license since 2002. I couldn't afford to own a motorcycle before so that's the reason I've only got the Honda CB500F. Other than that I had a chinese pocket bike . Thanks to my feather weight it could get to 50Kph!

Twat

She is not producing hot water or heating.......hope one of her hot flushes kick in soon.

whats up with her today clive ?

Great idea for a thread. Haven’t got many photos of my bikes pre phone cams but there are a few.

All four of them.

A lame move you cheeky git ending the submission thread before the end of the month could be considered a lame move

Xmas present from sister-in-law

Got the fucking lurgy again, another chest infection and course of antibiotics . Feeling crap and I get the call from Shadow to come and rescue her. She had minor spill last week dropping her bike off the stand. Nothing really but snapped the front brake lever so ordered a new one from EBay and put it on yesterday. No problem yesterday but today the front brake dragged got hot and started to smoke and lock. Anyway got the call to go and get her. Took the original lever which is serviceable but no ball on the end. Swapped it out and all was good. Brakes had cooled off by the time I got there. Anyway when she got home we cleaned the bike and I stripped and cleaned the front brakes. Now going to order a genuine Honda front brake lever. I’m so tempted to adjust the pattern one with a file, it really can’t be off that much, couple of mill here or there but it’s not worth the risk with her. If it were me I would.

you know what i mean ...dont be pedantic.

It is but don't tell them.

I too, had a coupla Honda's....'93 XR 80 w/ a mid 80's motor. It was originally a 9th birthday present to my oldest grandson...& was an absolute blast to ride in the snow. After many years of riding & fiddling, I completely rebuilt it...brand new top-end...cam, valves, springs, piston, rings...Barnett dirt-digger clutch...wrapped & sprayed exhaust w/ aftermarket alum can. He's now 27 y/o & came last Memorial day from NM to collect it along w/ my XT 600 Sumo. The other Honda I owned was an '83 VF 750 Sabre. The motor was quite smooth w/ a broad powerband...but doing carb work on it was a bit of a bitch...ONLY complaint I have of it. I did my longest ride on it back in 2011, when I rode down to Parker AZ & back in 98 hrs.....2500 miles in just over 4 days.

If I’d have known it would annoy people I’d have posted photos of it ages ago …

Fecking toys are what they are

No, just familiar with this regurgitated shite.

so your passport says Cornish on it... i think not ...your just an English Gammon im afraid.

I know what you meant Pedro I was only teasing. The Kernwek/Cornish are a Protected National Minority within the UK as recognised by the European Union and British Government since 2014 and the British Government’s own Kilbranden Report of 1971. Cornwall has been administered as an English County since 1898 but that doesn’t mean our Celtic national identity, language and culture was extinct from then even though the English state before that did their best to wipe it away as they did in Wales, Scotland and Ireland. There is much to talk how that came about but the point is there are many thousands of Cornish People, who know their history, and believe themselves to be Cornish and British not English. Oh and before any Gammons explode I don’t think there is anything wrong with being English I just don’t believe myself to be. I know who I am and my history, I am happy to talk to anyone about it if they had the slightest interest which they probably don’t

He was shot by the sand people.

I remember all of them

Same here Fred.

I keep vehicles so long i probably haven't had that many cars and bikes combined

Damn straight....during that 4 day ride, I didn't stay @ any hotel or motel either....just stuffed my sleeping bag in right behind the headlight..no need for a bunjie cord. Amazing how much weather it could keep off ya as well.

Windjammer mate, 1970/80's cool as fuck to those who know. I do believe they did a version of the Yam XS1100 with one as standard. I think that Sabre suits it well

the fuck is that fairing.... my eyes , they burn

its only been a couple of hours ....give him a chance , he is still reading it .

No engineer till............................. next Wednesday!.

Got an English passport have you?

Plastic Celt.

You’ll love the Azores and Madeira!

More local lane maintenance for me today, done something about the rock step to the bridge at the ford in Ynysybwl just got to see what happens when the river is in flood next I had to test it out after on the bike and by god it was cold. Wasted my time digging some of it as it was too narrow with the tree there so had to make a new path to join after the tree

One for @boboneleg

Some of mine that I took photos of.

I probably would mate, anywhere rural with not many people would suit me.

You did read it, didn't you.

I know a bloke who's having some building work done, he'll sell you some scalpings , proper cheap like .........

Lucky to walk away from that

Oil change for the donkey today , bloody freezing in the garage ,,,,,

I'll chuck my twopenneth in . this is my newest Arai Tour X , they fit nicely , are very well made and the peak does exactly what it's supposed to do. It's a solid piece with just two small vents in it, that means it hides the sun from your eyes when it's low and you can dip your head to shield yourself if your mate in front of you is wanging his throttle with the intention of covering you in shite This is my Klim Krios Carbon , it cost me more money that any of my Arai's and it's probably two thirds of the weight . BUT ......... the visor is rubbish and the peak is shit at doing the job it's supposed to do . It has far to many vents and it sits to high on the helmet so it's absolutely useless at shielding your eyes from the sun . Hence why I went back to the Arai Tour Cross

That's why I wrote "almost no one..."

@Sir Fallsalot likes Hondas, he's got about 27 of them ........

Has anyone read this shit? What does it say?

Fuck me a grown up post form you, thats rare. Seriously though thank you for the effort you put into this place, along with the Angry Pirate and Petulant Portuguese you are all doing Pete proud. I thought of several things to say about Pete, but in essence it is simply this, I found him interesting, liked him and genuinely miss his take on life. I wish the silly Welsh Twat didn't die. It must be some sort of self flagellation as to why I keep coming here but it is still the first site `i check. everyday. I have thought long and hard about why I like it here and it is obviously the savage humour and the irreverence for practically everything. Can't get that many places, we collectively just have to convince more people that they actually want that in their lives if we want the place to grow. Not entirely sure that is possible What I want to do biking wise. Don't want a third bike, would like something different to learn about and play with but can't bear the thought of parting with either of my bikes. Bit of a weird circular thought process that spins around in my head. I want to make some longer trips around the UK, perhaps even Ireland but wether I actually do it rather than pontificate about it will be seen. Collectively did 7500 miles last year, want to do more this. I want to do some longer ride reports and make a few Youtube video reports. I have another teenager who wants me to teach her to ride, so looking forward to doing that. I have got a lot of singing planned with my group and have plans to form a quartet. I am going to kick my choir into touch, to many wealthy retired blow ins wanting to sing Hamilton and Lion King songs for my liking. I have nothing in common with them. I don't know if I care enough to join another Choir, only couple that suit me and what I like are Mousehole Male Voice or Red River Singers but they are just to far west for regular practice/concerts for me. 50 and 40 miles each way. Much as I genuinely enjoy my job I am going to have to at least give up a few shifts or maybe find something else, working overnight is playing havoc with my health. Fuck knows what else I could do, I don't want to or can afford to retire . I know boring diatribe that probably no one will read but the question was asked
