Not quite.... I was working @ a bike shop doing mainly tire work. One day a regular well known customer that was in tight w/ the owner & a regular racer... he shows up on a PC looking for a new rear tire....the boss locates one in the back for him, but I couldn't start on the swap before he took it to the parking lot to wear out what was left of the existing rear tire..... Smoke Show from Hell!...clear down to where you could hear the chords scraping on the inner fender.....POP!! I bet the neighbors thought the shop was on fire though.

im up your way next week ..i'll sort this for you once and for all.

Just got back (20:30) from Bude bike night. Took my youngest and went with the Fowey Chill Blaine chapter. Five of us and my youngest. Guzzi V85TT, Triumph Scrambler, CB500X, RE Super Meteor and my Hornet. The bike night in Bude has moved to Rosie’s Kitchen which is down near Crooklets Beach. Lovely spot which I failed to take any pictures of. Any way some interesting stuff there although a small turnout by Bude standards. Couple of nice Wank Panzers. Told my youngest that’s what they are called on here, apparently there is something wrong with us according to her Thinking about it she’s not wrong. After I took the photos a Harley crew all patched up in club colours rolled in parked in the middle of the car park and proceeded to scowl at everyone else. Strange lot, why come to a bike night if you didn’t want to mingle. On the way home we stopped in Camelford for chips Chloe was buzzing when we got home she loved travelling in a group. Especially as we lead on the way home, don’t know why she liked that so much, I don’t personally but whatever. We were out for 5 hours and Chloe managed to consume a white hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows, cheesey chips, burger and Dr Pepper. I had a coffee, yet I’m fat and she is like a rake. Trip stats Cooling off before being put to bed

Gonna have friends over tomorrow, so I was helping the Mrs. tidy up the house a bit.... & I found a few of my long lost CD's I've been looking for! Made my day to listen to some SRV again!!...as well as some older Satch....back when he still had hair.

Got my rear wheel today, still in the box from Harley Davidson. I wasn't planning on getting a new one but I saw this on ebay at a good price and watched it for a while, I was the only one watching so I made them a lowball offer and they accepted. I got the front at an excellent price as well obviously from a low mileage bike so I am well happy.

Its happening , van action next week, this trip will include special ops.... just act normal next week @Clive, and make no mention of this trip .... the less you know the better

What can go wrong by letting an annoying cunt talk to your wife?

Gen X!

Well I've just been out and fixed the camera to the bike on the top yoke it seems to have a decent enough view through the screen and not too much speedo and rev counter. So let's see what I get tomorrow, I'll be taking the other mounts so I can always move the camera if I'm not happy with it

Was it on fire?

I found your new bike Pete https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/315207152888?itmmeta=01HWV2FXMJGFAJ5WNYAKK8KY11&hash=item4963cf74f8:g:kqIAAOSwq31lxe9Y

Piss off.

Bowls anyone?.

the BMW.

They are spoked and I can't run tubeless which is a pain given I do a lot of miles so roadside repairs would be difficult. Plus the are getting a bit ropey with corrosion on the spokes. I also like the look of the bigger front. These alloys will take less cleaning and maintenence all round and look nicer.

I rather you didn't.......I have to live here for the rest of my natural......... which may be shortened somewhat by your intervention.

No he won't.

ok boomer

@Clive will be therte to cheer you on and take pics .

No there is no trial happening just a trackday for some fun and enjoyment

@Marcel le Moose Fondler you seen this shit ...this is called money where your mouth is , you Beau Cave

When my eldest was about five he really got into Joe Satriani, who he used to call 'the man with no hair'. My youngest is now 12 and keeps nicking all my Herbie Hancock and Steve Gadd Band CDs...

Mr. Motocross... 6 time World Champion

Just a Bulbous Barge waiting for a spanner-phobic chap to piss & moan all over it.... Gotta admit though, I've seen 1 of those do a Mean smoke-show before.

That Jota is pretty cool....but I also like that Guzzi!

Blimey. I used to train with this guy back in the day, and all I can say is he never touched my winky. Not that that's saying much - an officer at a male prison once told me that I was the first bloke they'd had in the place who didn't get whistled at by the inmates. It really comes to something when even incarcerated homosexuals can't be bothered to make the effort... Anyway, what an ignominious end to a career. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c103zgpr4pjo

Six30, the early years.

Very nice Clive!

Act normal...OK

Same here! Except in my case they'd be smooth, dry roads!

Are you getting a new blue one.

It was time for a little fettle today after the weekend's trail ride. The first thing I noticed was the number plate light was loose so I set about that first. I looked behind the rear mudguard to find the fasteners and they were real cruddy and sure enough they both snapped off. That was no biggy but the fact that they were seized in the ferrules that they sit was a pain but I managed to punch them out ............... I cleaned the area up a bit and then tried to find something to replace the shitty stuff ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, You know when you find something and it's just perfect, well this was the day. I must have bought these over 15 years ago as I bought them to replace some items I had on my last Africa Twin............ a bit of red rubber grease around the grommets and then they were in .............. and that was that job done ......................

Next up I needed a rack so I had somewhere to carry tools, tubes, tyre levers etc. There wasn't a great deal of choice so in the end I opted for some Chinesium from Ali Express.............. Fitting this required the removal and drilling of the rear mudguard. Very kindly Yamaha saw fit to mark where you had to drill on the underside of the guard .................... Then the spacers (supplied) were added to line up with the subframe.............. Two of the supplied bolts were not quite long enough to facilitate a locking nut underneath so I ordered some 10mm longer stainless bolts and then it was done ................

People overestimate what a big trip means to a vehicle. Going from Portugal to Germany and back is 5000km, any vehicle can do that. It's way more tortuous to do a third of that distance sat in a garage and going for coffee one every 6 sundays over 5 years.

When properly maintained they were capable of travelling all over Europe. Let’s face it, Pete has always been a mechanical imbecile.

I say we should extend Six30 bann and extra month for posting a fake ride report..?

I was 17......I didn't need to keep fit! What I needed was to plonk a few birds but the BSA's put the fucking kybosh on that! No joke pushing a Brit POS round Swansea with a fucking hard on!

That boats sailed … you won’t be getting a report … fuck me it was going to be epic , had loads planned

She went out on her fake BSA and was never seen or heard of again! A lesson here for all of us I'd say! What I don't get is why anybody would build a bike to invoke memories and relive the "thrill" of a 1960's Beeza.......cos they were fucking shit! All I ever did was push both of mine around Swansea! I sure as hell don't want to relive that!
