Marcel spotted in Canada, look like he's up to old tricks again ..........

Hopefully it won't last with them both being off bikes, but hopefully with them having bike experience it will make them reasonable cage drivers

Anyway, I took my anger out on the garden fork. Lots of digging out rocks and shit but it's starting to come on now after looking like a tip for the last year .......

Yeah its a Citroën....

The Triumph for me , I'm certainly not voting for a barge that someone has spunked all over .......

A photo from Fred's patch .........

Very lazy weekend for me. Didn’t sleep well at all over the last few days, plus the E30 had a nice workout visiting clients in the rain. Yesterday went to bed at 1 and woke up at 10:00, feeling great and came to town for a little stroll around and a bifana for lunch. Afternoon will be spent doing very little, would love to have the GS tomorrow as it’s sunny but it’s 300km away and needs a service.

Today was something to behold, a beautiful sunny day in Wales in March ........... The Welsh hospitality knows no bounds , they even left this at the side of the trail so Gary could have a good rest while he was eating his sandwich

Preventative, it has 60,000 miles now (about 97,000 km) I have a bad lifter so I am servicing the cam chest while I am on, replacing inner cam bearings, tensioners and checking everything over.

EMPLOYEE NOTICE Due to the current financial situation caused by the fuel crisis and the slowdown in the economy, the Government has decided to implement a scheme to put workers of 50 years of age and above on early, mandatory retirement, thus creating jobs and reducing unemployment. This scheme will be known as RAPE (Retire Aged People Early). Persons selected to be RAPED can apply to the Government to be considered for the SHAFT program (Special Help After Forced Termination). Persons who have been RAPED and SHAFTED will be reviewed under the SCREW program (System Covering Retired-Early Workers). A person may be RAPED once, SHAFTED twice and SCREWED as many times as the Government deems appropriate. Persons who have been RAPED could get AIDS (Additional Income for Dependents & Spouse) or HERPES (Half Earnings for Retired Personnel Early Severance). Obviously persons who have AIDS or HERPES will not be SHAFTED or SCREWED any further by the Government. Persons who are not RAPED and are staying on will receive as much SHIT (Special High Intensity Training) as possible. The Government has always prided themselves on the amount of SHIT they give our citizens. Should you feel that you do not receive enough SHIT, please bring this to the attention of your MP, who has been trained to give you all the SHIT you can handle. Sincerely, The Committee for Economic Value of Individual Lives (E.V.I.L.) PS - Due to the Virus, recent budget cuts and the rising cost of electricity, gas and oil, as well as current market conditions, The Light at the End of the Tunnel has been turned off.

Did it myself. A combination of paint stripper and sanding with a high grit pad. It seems every pre 86 tank has corrosion perforations at the lowest points each side where the water collects and this one is no different. I was contemplating welding it up myself but thin aluminium is difficult and its 75% certain ill just blow through it so getting someone local bike shop to do it.

fixed it for you

You need to go there and climb it, preferably after a few days rain, just ignore the warning signs. It is one of the seven wonders if Cornwall along with such other greats like the can that Ben the leper used to cook beans in during the great tin mine Intifada.

I got a bit excited.

Out for a shake down run on the Sprint this morning. Behaved very well after all my messing around with it. New heavy duty clutch springs don’t feel to bad in Use. You can feel the extra effort but not bad. Absolute joy to ride so far, no mistaking you are piloting a big heavy beast of a bike but enjoying the contrast to my Hondas.

Garda pulls over Paddy for speeding "have you been drinking Sir?" Paddy replies "yes officer i've had about 18 pints, 2 bottles of hooch and 6 bacardi and cokes." Garda says "what the hell are you doing driving ??" Paddy replies "I couldn'tfeckin walk''

A lovely morning here, blue sky, and quite mild outside, I have my gear on, so I will open the shed, and!.... get the lawnmower out.

See if you break 12 seconds without falling off. Luckily for you Marcel isn't there with his Indian to humiliate you.

Today was an E30 kind of afternoon.

A social media influencer from Huddersfield has told her followers not to worry about fuel prices going up as £20 of fuel is still the same price! Bethany Johnson who regularly gives her followers savvy tips and tricks on how to save money has told her followers that she filled up today like normal and it still only cost her £20! Bethany 22, who has been driving for 4 years says she has filled up at the same petrol station since she passed her test and it has always cost her £20 when she has filled her car up with 20 pounds worth of petrol. "I think all the rumours about prices going up is just scaremongering from the government and the media. There's no need to panic." She said.

Clean your nails you dirty git

Well today was very nice and I believe the old man enjoyed it, i didnt run as quick as hoped but apart from the first 2 runs my 60ft times clustered how I wanted them to, so im happy enough. Here are my times... Anyone in particular wish to post their own times?

So he is about to find out how pathetic you are?

Had a nice long overdue conversation w/ my brother down in TX yesterday afternoon...he's in the process of building another Ossa power'd bike...

It was glorious mate, about 19⁰c and not a cloud in the sky which is alien to Wales, the sheepshaggers must have thought the world was going to end... what you say @Sir Fallsalot

Gorgeous day here , trail ride in Wales tomorrow so it will probably start raining as soon as I cross the bridge

Out and about on both the Sprint and my CBF this morning. I went out on the Triumph first to book an MoT as it runs out next week. The garage I normally use it 3 miles away I got back home on the Triumph after a lovely little bimble but completely forgot to book the MoT So went back on the CBF to give it a run to actually book the MoT Still got a little distracted It was certainly a contrast riding the bikes back to back. The CBF felt like a toy after the Triumph, so easy to use and friendly, all revvie and light controls. The Triumph on the other hand is all big hairy chested drama next to the Honda . Really enjoy both to be honest

EVERY Old Fart knows this....
