Just got home from a manic day with my youngest. Not moaning I enjoy her company but it’s been busy. First off I taxed her bike this morning so it’s road legal now, £25 for a 125. Adjusted the back brake, Mirrors, checked the oil and tyre pressures then left it out front. Got the Hornet out as we had errands to run. First off to Dameralls via a fuel stop to get the spare key for Chloe’s CB125F. She was grumpy as she wanted us to use her bike for the Dameralls run but a 40 mile round trip for the pair of us on duel carriage ways on a 125 didn’t appeal Had a mooch around Dameralls but it was chaos as they were having a major bike reshuffle. The Dear Maid did think it would be good if I got a new red NT1100 and to be honest I can see the attraction. Funds don’t allow so it will remain a wish. Got the key blank £13 which I thought was okay for a Honda part. Then headed back to St Austell to get the thing cut, which took seconds and cost a fiver. Cheapest vehicle key I have got in recent years After the key cutting Costa was the next call to sweeten grumpy boots up. After this faff we had to go to Holmbush Post Office to get a postal order and post off my other daughters driving licence application. The nearest office to Fowey FFS. Normally you can do the payment online but because she hasn’t got a birth certificate which was replaced by her adoption certificate you have to send a cheque or postal order to Swansea. Of course my bank has stopped issuing cheque books for my convenience. Bloody lash up but that is the way it works. £51 and out of there. After that back home to swop bikes. Now we headed down to Golant for Chloe’s first ever riding lesson, in fact the first time ever she has been on the business end of a motorcycle. Before you ask it is a private lane where her grandmother lives. Made some good progress I thought. Taught her lots of basics but she has mastered clutch control and braking. A small step but she did very well, the first step is always the hardest. After about 45 minutes she was frazzled plus we had to head back to Fowey as she had a dentist appointment. All good and she was hungry again so I bought her an ice cream from Game of Cones and a tea. Holidaymaker prices it was a £10 FFS. Finally while I was finishing my tea Chloe gets on the bike and says ‘now the bikes legal I can drive you up the hill’. I pointed out she was 16 with no licence and no insurance. Also she doesn’t know how to change gear yet. ‘Oh’ was the reply but I gave her credit for trying. Anyway it was a good if expensive day but I am absolutely knackered. Apparently she wants her next lesson on Thursday as the is the next break in the weather. I don’t mind we get on well but I have told her the goodie runs won’t happen every time.

Two totally useless posts if your not going to say what the alternative was whats the point of talking about it, it's just typing words for the sake of it a bit like what i'm doing now

My doctor is a gentleman of Asian decent, his English aint that cracking......he opened his consulting room and shouted."Olive".............................................the twat.

Hey some fuck changed my avatar ...lol...how amI suppose play a fat bastard now..?

It was a CRF300 Rally at first and now he's just discarded the CRF300L . Obviously they would both have been fitted with gay tyres ............

It was submitted like you spelled it firstly, Canuk. I noticed the error, but we can't spell for shit here in Mexico, so it went up like that.

The crocks?

The size he's after he'd be better off going for Shed

First big decision for the replacement would be how big of a top box can it take and is it a Honda/Chinese?

I wouldn't say that, i'm just not accustomed to exposing myself to a room full of men

She loves everything bikes and to be honest it's nice to have something in common with one of my kids. At a junction today we pulled up behind a CBR1100XX, I pointed to it and told her what it was and that it was a bike I would like. She was up for it "Have him Dad!". I told her no. I don't do that shit anymore, especially with one of my kids on the back. Plus I was around 60 BHP short. I will lecture her about sensible road behaviour when she is closer to being on the road, don't want to come across as a killjoy to soon, I will let her have the shit talk for now. But she has passion and I can genuinely see her following it on to a full licence eventually. She has told me she wants the Hornet when I die hopefully not to soon.

Currently sneaking round trying to put all the pieces in place!

i thought i knew what my vote was going to be , but ..... Marcel la moose fondler ...

How come you aren't happy with your own name is beyond me @Marcel. But this communitarian effort to help you find your own new identity is very much 2024, we're woke now.

Baguette basket case

Also, what is the collective's opinion on what to do with @busabeast's name after this poll finishes? Shall something be done after he took charge of directing how to proceed with Marcel by claiming something that isn't accurate? I am a river to my people and can make another poll to help him find his true self as well.

Sorry mate, I sometimes forget that you are the quality Welshman on here.

Wouldn't surprise me, I know where the keys are at all times. And if I'm honest I was riding my XS750 back in the day before I passed my test, until my Grandad caught me and bubbled me to my Dad. I am conscious of the hypocrisy

You? Never!

C to a O, easy done if you have bad eyesight. Like my wife, her maiden surname was Kerridge, on hospital/dental/doctors appointments they would shout...Miss Carriage.....

Any of you saw a City Dump w/ this kind of backdrop?....

We can't figure out what to make of your trash now!

She suspects something's up!

Putting down some corn?.....Best of luck, odds on your wife already knows what your up to.

"Busawankstain"

Well that was easy peazy...

they are fucking hideous , but i can understand what with all the snow and that.... but Crocs , for god sake man try and hang on to a little bit of street cred

Well she on the operating table..wish Pete was here to help with the instructions..she'll be button back together by the weekend...got another 3o cm on the way for Thursday and Friday...

Drove to Joseph this morning to just enjoy the weather & fresh air....soooo quiet & peaceful @ Wallowa lake....

Rode west this morning out to Elgin's city dump....last time I was up here the road was still gravel....been paved now & is probably 1 of the nicest it town. Man, I'm lovin' these early morning rides.... Blasted smudge on the camera lens!....But the view is hard to beat.... On the way back down this newly paved road, I turned the PA level down to 0 & just coasted down to the flat part of the road.....saw 28 mph on the screen.

I bet you enjoyed your sausage sandwich didn't you

that looks like a great day out @Saul even if your wallet may not agree

Bonehead baguette

No I've not had the sack, had a couple days off to get more sorted out for the boys arrival

Wow you go banned as a sex pest,

You've been on a lot Rich......you haven't had the sack again have you?

That’s Quality

Don't worry i might share the same name as Pete but i don't share his lack of shame, so no photos will be posted by me

Think I'm gonna Cresent her "The Busaterminator "

No I don't think she suspects as much as is 100% sure and 98% sure she knows what that something is. With you nobody has to be Sherlock Holmes to work you out

But she can't quite put her finger on it.

I've heard Buckster wears them too

Now fuck off...I'm working on my bike...lol.

im getting the word ...Nonce...

your new name should be Lemon

Yes....that paved road leads to a gnarly gravel road called Pumpkin Ridge which leads over the top & down to the small of Summerville-(pop. 135)...where I found my truck. A lot of ruts, rocks etc. 4x4 req'd if not traveling by 2 wheels....got my sights on it after a full recharge.

Is it because you can’t grow a beard?
