Congratulations @Saul, BOTY!

Spent all afternoon fitting How Highs Christmas present and repairing the fairing panels they mount two. Both were cracked and split where he dropped the death trap on separate occasions. Anyway two new front indicators a tube of epoxy putty and a load of new push button fixings and it’s holding together again. @Pedro can you split this across into the workshop thread as well please

He's not aware of anything like that...too self centred

Thank you everyone, I will put the picture of my bike up shortly.

Had a nice dinner with Sofia, and now settling in from if the TV to see some Youtube Dakar broadcasts and drink a little whiskey. Happy New Year to all!

Out on the GTS to check on the mods I did. It’s feckin freezing, stopped here but having a coffee , too cold for beer

I don't think I can dumb it down enough for you to understand.

Went out for a mooch about on the Hornet now I fitted the new battery. Went up to Damerells but it is closed until the new year. The Hornet rode like a dream, I all too often forget what it is like. Ended up coming home after 40 miles or so, just to bloody cold for my old carcass

Happy new year mate, enjoy your evenings all Happy new year to the whole forum

You never know, he is 19 and dumb as a rock but I can’t claim to have been much different at his age. To my knowledge he has been down 3 times in 2 years. He treats Shadow right and I genuinely like him so I hope he gets through. Shadow won’t let him hang with the numpties anymore so that is a positive. She bollocks him about bad riding

Is he one of those who's tyres cant keep him upright? If so I think he should look at how he's riding before he runs out of his 9 lives, and hopefully long before he does something big

Prolly not, his problem if he gets stopped. Shadow’s, is that’s all that concerns me.

You jumping on the band wagon too

Do i look stupid

Still not got around to the grips… Did fill it with gas, oil, coolant, turns over OK but injectors not injectoring. Process of elimination so far, and something Im not sure how to test is the Hall effect sensors. As luck would have it they are not made anymore, so tracked down some chinesium equivalents ( supposedly) on Aliexpress and waiting for them to show up. Obviously what will eventually arrive will be carpet slippers or a concrete fence post but will have to wait and see.

You are aware not all jokes are directed at you, right?

You could have had a real motorcycle with a Christmas tree but you want a £500 beater that doesn’t even run properly.

This is the new Super Tour.

And it’s clean again….

The Lurgy seems to be releasing its grip, so I may try a walk to Tesco later.......and the Christmas tree and decs are coming down tomorrow too! Bah Humbug
