That's Pete!

Wife..........be afraid!, very afraid They are doing our neighbours windows today, ginger guy is busy keeping eye on their dog.

Swedes and Norwegians love either high revving american V8s or highly turboed european 5 and 6 cylinders. Give them a strong turbo european 8 or 10 and they’ll go insane. You see, they either get drunk for the winter or build an engine, I think it’s both

My thoughts exactly when standing in front of the mirror.

It’s long been an ambition of mine to go to the speed weekend at Arsunda lake in Sweden. There is another one at Orsa, or there used to be. It’s a frozen lake and you can race what you want including this mental snowmobile built around an Argus type pulse jet. There used to be a channel on YT for the team that built this and I think they eventually got to 300kph on the thing but I can’t find it now. In early development ( I.e. beers around a bbq running the thing up) they had a noise complaint from 7km away. I have a small collection of these ( much smaller) pulse jets, they are unbelievably noisy. I can’t run mine here, the whole village would complain. Edit to add, should have read the thread more carefully, didn’t see @Pedro had posted the same link

@Pedro has a recipe for that.

Have one of them in London they'll think its a doodlebug coming in.

As long as its works for you that's all that matters. I found as i grow older Function over form is cropping up all the time

ginger ..he was looking for souls to steal

I recon he was perving over Clive sat on his sofa with just his underpants on basking in his new found warmth

he's probably sober today

Yebbut, is the ginger dude still perving over wife

Yeah, it doesn't look great but I rather have a bit of wind protection. No trip plans yet.

The weather has been shitty for the past weeks so I haven't ridden the hornet that much. My first impressions will be comparing it to the CB500F as it's the only reference that I have. So, the clutch lever is a bit heavier than the 500 but still light. The gearbox is as smooth or even a bit smoother than the CB. Power wise, it's a total different world. The Hornet is a beast! I was used to the 47hp and this one, with almost double of that, is a monster and I'm scared of it. It's the good kind of fright though, as it makes me want more seat time to get it tamed. Other than that, I miss the heated grips and today I got the windshield. Haven't ridden it with it on yet.

I could have chosen a different/smaller (and cheaper) windshield, but I decided to got for comfort over looks. This was something that helped me chose the windshield.

Heating it is on 1 hour in the morning, and 1 hour at night. This for the remainder of the day, B&M,s luxury heated throw.

And I thought he was cleaning the outside windows, but he could have been waving.

You recon he's done a real life Reginald Perrin

It is freezing out there.......

The mastic and whatever they used on the window installation still stinks.

You do not have a trailer @Six30?.....

van and trailer action ...respect

Good negotiation skills! Hey @Nute! That American really is in a hurry to move out from his snowy paradise, there’s a deal to be made!

I'm still waiting on you to sell the house for me. Hurry up, will ya?

Snowed pretty good again last night... then it cleared off & got colder....14f when we got up. This type of snow motivates me to break out the skis!...

Just got back from a 3,500 mile jaunt to Pennsylvania and back. Dropped off a couple of bikes to a storage unit in ohio. Gonna load up a couple more and do it again in a couple of weeks. Slowly moving stuff east,,,

2 100w mono crystalline panels and a Victron MTTP

Wonder what the deer would think seeing 4 tires rolling up?....

I've talked to the sales man and told him I didn't like the short (120mm) levers on the Hornet. He told me I could swap them with the ones I had (160mm) on the CB500F. So I went to the dealership to get the Hornet's original exhaust and to swap the levers. I also really needed to go back to the dealership as I couldn't find the 2nd Key of the CB500F the day I went there to get the Hornet.
