Your cleaner locks you in the garage ?

Is that Beemer faggot still around, rumor are he was caught stealing women's suitcases at the airport..

If only you knew a competent mechanic.

you dont half rabbit on lional

It's great, to take the wheel off I unbolted the wheel dropped the bike to the ground to pull the axle then lifted the bike off the wheel.

Gay

Well after the best part of half a bottle of the Gin I needed to work it out

Got anything to tell us @Six30 ???

Nice truck @Marcel.... you do have some taste then

yes it was a stainless and oval it came with the bike when i bought it and had wavy disks i would have another Delkevic they look smart , when i sold the bike a lad from leeds bought it and he said he was going to race it in the cb 500 cup

i used to carry the Hod when i was younger.... 9" concretes up and down ladders... diesel mixer that would rip your arm out your socket if you got it wrong starting it, big bags of dust..... most of the day on a Friday in the pub... happy days

I did it once on my Transalp, you only do it once

I have a full system on my DR650. The build quality is good but it's too loud for trail riding , I'm looking to replace it .

Looks like it will be pissing all day here...the contractor was here yesterday to pull the forms out..and dropped a load of lumber...made another promise he'll be here Monday to start framing the thing... Really need to wash my bike today...amount of bugs around here is ridiculous...has anyone ever tried hydrogen peroxide has a bug remover?

True, I'm as vulgar as anyone can be but it must certainly put people off who don't understand that it's a sign of superior intelect

I will make and effort this time just for you ...I'll show you my talented sophisticated talent has a novel writer...

My Mrs spotted a CBR600RR on FB marketplace nearby yesterday for sale for £450 and offered to buy it for me. I was flabbergasted, she is after something, newer car I reckon It wasn't really the bike for me as it the sort of deal where I would have had to spend £1000 plus sorting it out when I could buy a tidy one ready to go for £1300 to £1500. I do like them but I doubt I would ride such a thing much unless I wanted to tear it up and that isn't really my thing anymore. Plus Shadow would be obsessing over it and make my life a misery. But it was nice of the Mrs to offer though.

No, that yellow thing that looks like a traffic cone in the back. Sort of like a yellow hitch cover, but everyone knows that would be silly

So today was the shakedown ride, I was only going to do fifty miles but did twice that, it was too nice out. Went exploring the kingdom of Fife. I aimed the bike at every joint in the road, every rut, every bit of banding to see if it would get upset but it shrugged it all off. It feels like I have new tyres. A little bit of extra vibration at tickover and at about 3000 rpm which was expected, more a buzz than anything, that should disappear after 300 to 500 miles. I was definitely barreling into corners on the way back, the handling feels rock solid.

When you reverse it, does it beep?

I'll have you know I'm the most cultured and sophisticated brickie ....thal ever feckin meat

Remember this post when I was all chuffed with myself for sorting the bike out. It's been long enough now and I have got over what happened on the first run out after the service. Shadow was still off the road so we went up to Damerells for her favourite Sausage sandwich then for a bimble about for 60 miles or so. Ran like a dream but when the fuel light came on I dropped in the garage and filled it up. About a mile later the it conked out. WTF. Anyway turns out I filled it up with diesel. Bloody self inflicted disaster. Only about 3 miles from home so I got the Mrs to collect Shadow and called the AA. I talked to the dispatcher and explained what happened. He said I was in luck as they now offer a refuelling service where they drain the tank and put 10 litres of E10 in. I was interested but not at the £190 they charge for doing it. So I said no thanks and asked to be recovered home. The dispatcher said fine but there maybe a charge for that if the Patrol man has to go and get a trailer to put the bike on. I said there better not be as I already pay for my bikes to be covered. Patrol man turns up after an hour, which I thought was pretty good, and surprisingly he was already equipped with one of those fold out transformer type bike trailers. A fiddle to put together but clever bit of kit. He was a biker, good as gold and offered to drain the tank for me gratis if I signed a disclaimer form. He checked with his control who said he wasn't allowed to do that anymore. Of course not money grabbing B'stards. So he dropped me home and advised me to syphon out the trank, drain the float bowls and let it smoke out with some fresh fuel. Which I did. His off the book advice was that the worse that was going to happen was the carbs/fuel system would have a bit of a flush type passive clean through. Very helpful guy. So now a few weeks later and a fresh tank of fuel and it's running lovely so all ended well. I'm over the embarrassment and annoyance at my stupidity now, enough so to tell you lot about it. Of course my mates haven't mentioned it at every opportunity since. Also still a bit pissed off with the AA's upselling stance when you call them. I pay £20 a month for their service to cover me and the Mrs, bikes included. I expected better. And yes it's the first time I have ever done that

Living in France has had a strange affect on me

I did my own on my KTM's , time consuming yes but rewarding nonetheless.

Well, I spoke to my hospital doctor as I wanted to know how long this crap might go on for, she revealed that as well as the other things they discovered on my lungs that it was a very large clot that may take about 6 months to clear and that it had also caused a large area of my lung to collapse and it's gonna take a long time to reinflate, fekin news to me, sucks donkey dick that, well at least the ridiculous pain has now all gone, just left with minor pains and getting out of breath really fast Anyway, I plan on going out for a bimble on the scoot
