Well the snow didn't last long and it cleared up nicely....out busting trails at the moment..i have to say busting trail after some fresh snow is extremely fun... I did get stuck in a field , nothing to winch on, had to use my Raw Viking strength to muscle it out...lol.....nearly had a heart attack...lol.

So, a bigger topbox

Is that a double Dinn stereo on that Harley?

Well HH is a happy bunny, apparently his bike is going much better now with the new pipe, apparently the handling is on point now and the front brakes are awesome. Funny how having the right brake lever and straight forks does help . Seriously I am happy he is.

Well I have been happy as a clam playing wood butchery this morning. The storm finally broke the rotten corner of my shed. It gets the brunt of the weather and is 25 years old. It wasn’t the most expensive shed when I bought it so no complaints. Anyway got my two favourite toys out and set about milling up some old fence posts and off cuts into as close as the right dimensions to do the job as I could. Before After I would have like to have done more as the roof still needs attention but rain stoped play. It is weather to tight but needs more love for a permanent fix. I want to get the whole shed insulated and ready for cladding before next payday. Going to piss down tomorrow so excellent time to tidy the shed and get the carbs back on the Triumph

You know nothing, hipsters pay a lot for that look if it’s authentic

You have time, no need to campaign so hard, still almost a year for the next Twat Of The Year

I rarely look on Facebook marketplace for bike parts as what you usually get is just a load of old tat that no one else wants, add to that the fact that my dirt bikes are fairly rare models in the UK rarely makes me feel hopeful of finding anything decent. Last Friday in a moment of boredom I tapped in Suzuki DR650 and came across a set of wheels. After the initial surprise I looked closer at the photos to confirm that they'd fit my bike and they looked in very good condition. I contacted the seller and after a bit of back and forth I arranged to go and collect them today. The seller works in GT motorcycles in Plymouth , a dealer that I'd never been to but I was pleasantly surprised to find a modern showroom with all sorts of makes. Anyway I collected the wheels from another worker (the seller was out on the road) , put them in the van and then went for breakfast in their cafe called Legends. I wasn't keen on the beans ( I should have asked if I could have mushrooms instead) but it filled a spot and then I had a mooch around the showrooms ..... I tried out a Transalp for size, it didn't seem too heavy and I could flat foot it so that could be an option in the future. I also took a photo of this for @Saul in case he wonders what they're meant to look like without being dropped every week ...... As for the wheels, well what can I say . I reckon I've got an absolute bargain. They look like they've never been used , the front disc bolts still had the PDI paint on them and they came with a Warp9 double bearing sprocket holder, new poly bush dampers and an unused speedo housing. I'm well chuffed to say the least

That’s my end of the garden I use what I have . Making do is a weakness and a hobby of mine. . Where is the fun in throwing money rather than ingenuity, unless it’s a bike of course

Nice shed work but I think that fence could do with a bit of attention ............

I knew it'd only be a matter of time before our resident Peanut Gallery piped up w/ a wise crack... The stretch of tarmac I did that on was pretty damn flat, I'll have you know. It was an old favorite that I frequently took most of my bikes on...

Been to GT several times for breakfast. Always got a good stock of bikes. I had test ride on a z650rs a few years ago there. . They do good cafe food.

Remember the grounds of your parole states you are not allowed within 100 yards of an udder.

I think I will go for JBL speakers front and rear.

Tour Pak, top boxes are what lesser motorcycles have.

Black cherry pearl.

I’m glad you are here to fill the gap left by @Slowlycatchymonkey

So when do you think it will change him?

You mean top box surely

Excellent find Bob , wow a dealer with a restaurant...amazing !!! Sounds like my kinda place...ill take your beans ...lol.

I'd say you scored pretty well there @boboneleg! ...Nice looking wheels.

Well three of us popped up on you tube anyway

Not much going on , was thinking about a qwad ride but we're having and another dump of snow at the moment...looks like it's gonna be one of those winters.

On one side anyway.
