@Marcel is out partying in the street

My CBF600S has the wrong colour front brake callipers. They have obviously been replaced at some point with callipers from a naked CBF600N which are black not gold. They are functionally identical and work fine but it is getting on my tits that it’s wrong. So for no other reason than to satisfy my OCD, I am going to replace them. I got a second hand set of gold callipers from eBay for £27 and at the same time I ordered a rebuild kit for them for £34 from Wemoto. I started stripping and cleaning the callipers up today and to my surprise they are pretty good. All threads perfect and pistons appear spotless. I am waiting for the tool to come to get them out and polish them up. I know there are other ways to get the pistons out but I wanted the right tool which is coming tomorrow. I would guess that I don’t really need to replace the seals but I am going to because I have the new ones on the bench. First attempt at cleaning has brought them up quite well. There are a few minors blemishes here and there but I think the callipers will look fine once they are on the bike, after all it is 18 years old. Of course there will be more cleaning before I fit the new seals. Before anyone pipes up, if this is boring fuck off and read about Marcy’s adventures. I am a bike geak and I like this sort of stuff.

I am too gutted to say anything tonight, but i will try and compose myself for tomorrow. We used to chat every other Sunday evening the **** never said anything to me..Sorry i am not in a good place tonight. Lyn.

Even the plug sockets look shocked..

I don’t know who you are anymore.

same here.... was behind a car the other day in traffic... stink coming out of it, i had to pull over ten minutes later and bought some chocolate biscuits, two caramacs, 3 bags of cheese and oinion crisps, a mars bar and a box of maltesers .

im doing ok ...its harder now with cameras every where though

Are you sure, I thought that was a "new romantics" group from the 80's

Working on this fuckin hang over

A good day was had at Cadwell Park sitting on the ground did my back no favours, and bike parking was about 1 mile from trackside, but the weather was good, too warm at times, and the ride there and back was good, no seaside holiday traffic.

@Pedro you haven't been here for a couple of days. Do you have anything to tell us ? ...................

bargain...

@Marcel spotted doing a track day today

Used the syringe today worked perfectly, brakes all sorted working as they should. I am so chuffed it was that simple, I think what confused me was the ABS system and that I didn't think I had let the fluid run to low in the master cylinder which I must have done. Thank you very much for the help. Very happy bunny I.

Lipstick on the pig

The great painters had body part missing, Picasso a earhole, you a leg........ onto the Cubist phase next?

Now i do have to but in, sorry lads. When i were a Lad: i used to take my mates bikes out ( Local Suzuki Dealer ) for a couple of hundred miles before the local dicks heads took them out for a test ride. The Early Busa could do 0-100mph and back to a stop in 10sec..can your bike!!!? If not you will not get close to the Busa.. Some times i love being old: Cos I know stuff. Also Ren will know the truth...

We set off from Portsmouth this morning planning to take in a castle or 2 on our way to Folkestone. I missed the tight turn just off the edge of a roundabout and only noticed it on our way back to the main road. Mandi took one look at the bumpy loose stone road and said No. Castle Pevensey, attempt 2 was much better. Found it perfectly, fairly solid parking too. big arse gun left over from the Spanish Armada. The coast is now over a mile away.

Well the pavement guys showed up yesterday morning...progress is coming along...all 4 inside walls are insulated and sheeted...got the roof now to finish....oh and I found these lights...boy what a difference...10 thousand lumens...for 30 bucks a pop..

I have seen some cheaper ones online.......like this one Price seems OK, postage seems a bit steep though!

Mrs. Hook & I went for a drive to Sumpter yesterday....we visited a cool small 8-site campground 3 miles west of Sumpter. Campground goes by the name of McCully Fork & 7 of 8 sites are creekside w/ plenty of shade from the heat. Site #8 is in the very back but has the most room & still is only a few steps away from the creek which is a tributary to the Powder river. We've got plans w/ some friends to camp here next month after Labor Day when all the tourists & their kids go home for the start of the school year....BEST time to go Plenty of room for our 10x10 tent & our friends' RV. Couldn't believe the place was empty....Sooo quiet & serene....lookin' 4ward to camping there.

THE IRISH PROSTITUTE An Irish daughter had not been home for over 5 years. Upon her return, her Father cursed her heavily. 'Where have ye been all this time, child? Why did ye not write to us, not even a line? Why didn't ye call? Can ye not understand what ye put yer old Mother through?' The girl, crying, replied, Dad... I became a prostitute.' 'Ye what!? Get out a here, ye shameless harlot! Sinner! You're a disgrace to this Catholic family.' 'OK, Dad... as ye wish. I only came back to give mum this luxurious fur coat, title deed to a ten bedroom mansion, plus a 5 million savings certificate. For me little brother, this gold Rolex. And for ye Daddy, the sparkling new Mercedes limited edition convertible that's parked outside plus a membership to the country club ... (takes a breath) ... and an invitation for ye all to spend New Year's Eve on board my new yacht in the Riviera.' 'What was it ye said ye had become?' says Dad. Girl, crying again, 'A prostitute, Daddy!.' 'Oh! My Goodness! Ye scared me half to death, girl! I thought ye said a Protestant! Come here and give yer old Dad a hug !!!

@Marcel trying to test ride a bmw today

You have no standing to comment on this . You drive a bus and ride a barge , nuff said ............

This is Bobs gang @boboneleg

Out for a sprint on the Mullet today... from the bottom of Hamburger Hill looking NW towards Elgin...

I will be riding mine in the morning with no worry of leaky forks or a cracked frame.

Maybe All rebuilt and ready to go on. Probably won’t swap them over until next week now, don’t fancy stripping the bike before my weekend’s commute. Don’t want to be trouble shooting without sleep. Just in case.

I think he is taking up Petes cleaning obsession.

Sorry boss . I'll get my coat

Tighter rear end

Fuck off you retarded midget … I ain’t never coming back

Well I fitted a UK legal Delkevic titanium S-Oval end can on my Hornet today. I am pretty pleased with it to be honest, sounds good, fair bit deeper but not obnoxiously loud. I don't think it makes much if any difference to power but it sounds faster . Original end can was 7kg the new one is 1.45kg.

He just didn’t want to upset you, I bet you are a whiny little bitch when you don’t get your way.

30 minutes? They might get thirsty halfway there!

The Algarve? Or somewhere else? We looked into a cheap Algarve holiday that I posted about, after working out the sums for.......airport parking, travel insurance for us both (expensive for my wife with her medical history) transfers to and from the resort, and renew our passports it is not as cheap as was thought, and with the big bill for getting the car through the MOT we have had to pass on it. So next Monday we are going away till Friday in........ Mablethorpe

Make the numbers up. Had to nip to Colchester first thing this morn but could see anything on the way to snap a pic. Was almost back home so ended with this.
