This is Puskas, after 2 years of living in a shelter in Northern Portugal, sleeping with shelter from the rain but not from the cold he has now found out about central heating and soft beds and pillows and toys. He’s enjoying the warmth while outside the cold storms are hitting strong.

Going stir crazy today as I haven’t been out on 2 wheels for 10 days or more. Had to run a couple of errands so took Shadows bike for a run, she’s hasn’t been on it for maybe 2 months. She has had health issues and it’s hit her confidence a bit. Anyway not dwelling on that, it was good to go out on a bike even if it was a 125. Throughly pleasant little thing as long as you’re not in a hurry. It handles well with plenty of grip even in the wet, Not sure I could cope with life at mostly 50 mph. Just feel to vulnerable with next to nothing in reserve. Better than not riding though.

What a stunning pup, he looks a lot like my dog only younger . Congratulations on you new buddy

I hate vehicle electrics. and now I have 2 problems to contend with. 1.....cars fuel gauge is on the blink, it just registers half full, even with the wires disconnected from the sender....I hate not know what's in the tank. 2... scoots electric seat release button stays in when pushed, and it's a big job to get to it.... but the sun is shing and quite warm with the sun on the shed roof, I even took off my coat.

Puskas looks ace @Pedro, great name as well

No, that was just a photo of a load of wankers. It was YOU that suggested one of them was the next Prime Minister............. set the example Urco

Set the example! No politics…

I had a duff push button on some thing but can not at the Mo remember what it was, i pulled it apart and glued a bit of metal under the button, i had a tiny magnet in the try..a qwik touch and up the button popped..Had to keep the try clean thou or all sorts of crap stuck to it.. This was years ago when i could not afford a shop coffee never mind a garage fix.

I just use wooden clothes pegs on each pipe trick given me by an old guy many years ago when we used manometers to check air in the telephone cables. That was when i was a Lad.

He looks like he has made himself at home, good on you for giving the little guy a second chance at a good life.

To bad you can't get a replacement for your head...

If I get a screwdriver and pull the switch out then press it, the seat solenoid works, but the button stays in, so i have to fish it out with the screwdriver again, would have to remove the whole of the front to get to the switch......I have lathered the switch with WD, but I doubt it is getting to the workings of the switch.....

So Is the catch actuator working, can you ask your wife if she can hear a noise when you press the button?

Is there a workaround to release it manually @Clive ?

What’s your excuse for the rest of the time then?

Well done Pedro, looks like he's made himself feel at home.

Great looking K9 there @Pedro...

just buy a roll of chinky tube...i did, change it each year or so. As you have a roll.

Still getting out and about on mine Clive……..brrrraaaaaaap That’s my mates SYM 300 GTS behind mine with a rather fetching ELF paint job…….he’s a really good sprayer and has a booth in the corner of his swanky garage.

A Man goes into a Bakers and asks for 2 Bread Rolls..?? The Shop Man picks them up with the Tongs and puts them in a Paper Bag, He then asks for 2 Cakes the Shop Man picks them up with the Tongs and puts them in the Bag. The Man says :- "It’s nice to see you don’t Handle the Food".. The Shop Man says :- "Nothing in my Shop is Handled by Human Hand".. He then noticed a Piece of String hanging out of the Shop Man's Trousers and asks :- "What is that Piece of String for"..??? The Shop Man says :- "When I need a Piss. I just pull on the String and it Pops Out".. "That’s OK" Says the man. "But how do you put it Back"..??? "That’s No Problem", says the Shop Man. "I just Use the TONGS"

I have a doctors appointment at 11.30 this morning . That in itself is a modern day triumph as I only phoned this morning. When the doctor asks ''what seems to be the problem'', I shall get out my list ..........
