Considering that I should really still be down in Charmouth for another couple of days, this hasn't been a bad way to spend a Thursday at all. My eldest has been keen to learn some basic lathe skills for a while now, so after putting in a solid seven minutes work this morning I shut the laptop and took him off to make a few pens out of the acrylic blanks we picked up in Axminster last week. He's learned how to turn a basic taper with the top slide and make a mandrel out of some scrap aluminium and a bit of leftover threaded rod (damn site cheaper than paying £60 for the one in the shop) and has made a couple of pretty decent pens to give to his mates next week. Not bad for a first attempt!

Marcel took his Meds!

Size of her I don't think you'd get to see it

He’s well chuffed with them! I’ve never turned acrylic (at least not since I was at high school) so it was a bit of a novelty for both of us.

had a fair few of these back in the day .. 3'0.'s and 2.8i's.... lost it on a lane once in one, landed in a field .. happy days

Out with the Dear Maid for lesson two today. Nothing exciting just a few loops of the rugby club car park. She did reasonably well but dropped it a couple of times which knocked her confidence a little but it is bound to happen. Kept forgetting to de clutch as she came to a halt and was dragged over. Few tears but she is fine now, the bike was owned by a newbie before her so nothing scratched that wasn’t already. Still working on her clutch control but it’s coming. I was hoping to get her doing figure of eights today but that can wait. There is no rush. I am limiting the lesson to 45 minutes so that she doesn’t get too stressed. All about confidence with her. Shame she didn’t grow up with a shitbox old dirt bike to learn in a field but that sort of thing is rare nowadays.

im gutted ,,, bet the fat cunt with blue hair makes a good breakfast

I was on a hot pursuit of a moose...

Does this shit when he doesn’t get another bike too, which is far more frequent.

I’m waiting to get arrested under the Scottish hate crime act.

Get in

really bob .... no ..no its not ... weirdo

Try cleaning the screen with a wet cloth with a squirt of fairy liquid. If it doesn't work burn the car.

My daughter did 2 years (thereabouts) on her Piaggio NRG 50cc , it is much easier to learn to ride on one with it being a auto....much like riding a pushbike with having to pedal. ....a car took her fancy after riding home from nightshifts in shit weather, she did once push the scoot home a distance of nearly 2 miles when the roads were covered in snow & ice....wise decision. My lad has never shown any inclination to ride or drive, he has never had a driving licence....he did have a nice mountain bike at one time, but he sold it when he ran out of Fosters one day. Good work with your daughters lessons. 🏍

We are going out whenever there is a break in the weather. Tomorrow is looking good for us so that will be the third day in a row since we started. My idea is little and often so that it will become second nature, initially I thought once or twice a week but that won't work with Chloe as it gives her too much time to worry about stuff. I am still getting used to what works with her, but we have six months to play with and summer coming, so no pressure or rush for her.

Suggested to the wife that she might want to get some new clothes for the Summer........and what better place than the Nevada Shopping Centre in Granada? Which, quite coincidentally, is only 5 minutes away from the Dealer that I want to visit! Looks like we'll be going Tuesday!

She has , but the boy has his ped so the precedent has been set. And that daft fuck won't listen to anything I say and he has survived so far.

yes but Marcel is considerably richer than every else so he can do what the fuck he likes

Just wrote 21 detailed emails for increasing prices to my clients. It won't go down well since my competitors are lowering them. Not wanting more difficult conversations today, I sent the phone to send them at 18:20 and will then put it silent

I've been spending my spare hours trying to sort a Zafira b failing the MOT with rich running. After a lot of pissing around with exhaust sensors as I didn't believe the readings I checked the valve timing and found the exhaust cam a tooth out. Have I mentioned I hate cars.

True, I passed my bike test in 1984 but didn't sit my car test until 1986. It was easy I passed 1st time after 8 x1 hour lessons because I had plenty of road and riding experience. It wouldn't don't any harm for most people to do a CBT as part of their driving licence for both bike and car, for the reasons you say. Confidence and familiarity with controlling a motor vehicle has got to cross over and being on 2 wheels will make you all to aware of your vulnerabilities.

They won't have any CRF300s in stock ready to register, Pete, might as well get angry now!

The wife mounted the TV in the office on the wall today......she's done a good job!

That arm's seen plenty of action!

You would just find it humiliating, he is sparing us all from that.

A BMW tshirt? Not even I wear those.

She coming along nicely...

It's not legal to ride on the pavement Marcel. Try the road instead! That's the bit where other vehicles go on......usually found between the pavements.

Oh most definitely...I've made it into a art form... TOTY 2024 HERE I COME !!

your a bigger fuckwit

Your brain is!

Richmonds finest.....

Ok then..my fingers are bigger than yours ..lol.

Ok there Rich # 2...

I'm going to ask for translation for this quote

Nothing to see here, just Harley destroying Indian on the track as always.

I live next to the sea and eat almost nothing from it as I see the crap that gets dumped in there.

I don’t get it. Where is the novelty in Harley dominating an American series for cruiser based bikes? It’s like a trail bike challenge for German bikes and following BMW in their efforts to win.

It is a redundant feature nowdays.

Hers s the completed project... Sounds amazing the heat shield on the mufler wasn't on...you could hear the clips rateling...

That's what really happened don't lie
