Here’s my effort for February………look it’s even got pretty blossom in the background.

My shed has been named the ‘Healing Shed’ according to Shadow. Her bike is now resident as I am going to tidy it up again. First job is to get these scratches out that were caused by Storm Goretti a few weeks ago. I was given a random orbital car polisher for my birthday several years ago. I never used it, don’t really care about polishing cars that much, plus my car is pretty good paint wise. Today was the day to try it out to see if I could fix Shadows tank. I was surprised how well it worked with just Autoglym polish. Bit to big and cumbersome for a bike really but it certainly worked well. The results aren’t perfect but pretty presentable. Mucky bleddy thing to use though. I got as much polish on me as I did the bike. Tucked away for the night, I am going to touch in the rust sections on the frame and crash bars tomorrow. Loads of little things to do. And I don’t doubt Shadow will want it back then to smash up again. I don’t mind really.

Yeah, but what can I do about it? My bike has PEDALS so I'm automatically DQ'd.....at least it has the correct number of wheels...ffs I'm just that amputee NuklHed that posts pics of machines & places that we'd like to have or pay a visit to.

Just had some foamy therapy cleaning up the CBF and Shadows bike. Also had a close look at what needs to be done cosmetically after Shadows damage and storm Goretti’s damage to it. Not to bad really few bits and bobs to be paired and some paint correction (polishing) on the tank. A few days in the healing shed will get most of it done.

Time to get you pictures up for February. Rules are as before. Picture must be landscape, must be a bike you still own, no photoshop, no AI, must be a Motorcycle. my decision is final. Thanks for running BOTM Pedro you did a cracking job I will start a poll on the 27th so you have 3 days to get your pictures up.

Balance is restored

Well, after dealing w/ a plugged up sewer pipe running through my yard....that the neighbor is also attached to...for a month now...finally got it fixed yesterday. 6ft. of pipe was completely plugged w/ tree roots that was on the hillside of the front yard. Had a plumbing outfit come out w/ an excavator & dig it up...replaced the plugged section w/ PVC pipe & then back fill the deep-a$$ trench they dug. The amount of sh*t water that came out when they cut out that section of pipe was astonishing. Now all I have to do is recap the 2 clean-outs in the yard & then wait for the (probably Stoopid expensive bill) the show up. Fortunately, the neighbor has agree'd to split the bill w/ me since his 130 y/o house was probably the 1st house on this hillside back in the day. I'm just glad it's done. Next ordeal is to start collecting materials to re-roof my garden shed....which should be a lot easier on the wallet.

After cleaning the CBF I decided to go out for a bimble and ended up doing 100 miles. Headed over to Bodmin then on to follow the North Coast Road West. Bloody windy but not cold. I had my leather and summer gloves on and was plenty comfy. Heated grips on of course. A couple of miles from home I realised I hadn’t taken a single photo, in fact I don’t think I even put a foot down so I stopped and did Lovely chilled out ride on the CBF that is a joy to be on.

It's the way I have been bred.

Ahhh, the pressure, think I’ve only been out once this year and it’s not looking go for a trip out in the next three days …

It literally is anything you decide, whatever it is will mean you will be hated for it.

Oh crumbs!
