Mine, today:

Unusual to be that dead, hope something not draining after buying a newbie. Off to Manchester for a fancy dress birthday party soon, and it's raining. Dropping Mandi at the airport tomorrow dinner time as she's off to Copenhagen for the week.

Walked my dog today, had a good talk with my bro in the morning over breakfast, then rode my bike through heavy rains on twisty douro valley roads, met up with Sofia, fixed some englishman’s tire puncture on a GS, then rode some more, had a great time over a great dinner, and now setting in bed while rain pelts the window and bikes are safely parked in a dry garage.

1977 Formula 750 Champion....

Tried to pull the truck outta the carport this morning to finish filling the bed up w/ yard debris....battery was completely flat....put a meter on it to see how bad it was...Flat 00.0- dead as a door nail. Drove down to La Grande & scored a battery @ WalMart for $140...finished loading yard debris to take to the dump tomorrow morning. Tonight is date night....Tequila is on the agenda. Definitely Riding on Saturday...probably farther out on Clark Creek.

If that don't qualify i'll be stuck with this one

So how does this work then, does the photo have to be taken this month or is it from the end of the last poll as this was taken on the 30-03-2024 after last months poll

cold and raining here....

From a brilliant day @ Wallowa lake.... Got this one framed & on the living room wall.

Today may well have been the last ride of my Sixties as rain is forecast for the weekend. Incredible that I've ridden through my Teens, Twenties, Thirties, Forties, Fifties, and Sixties without suffering Death and Dismemberment! In fact, I've never even managed to break a bone or get laid up in Hospital. And I've never totaled any of the 67 bikes, or made an Insurance claim. It seems that nothing went according to the script......I'll have to try harder I suppose! Anyway, this run was to Juan Cortes in Baza to get my centre stand fitted! So here's some stuff from the showroom.......and I have to say that the Rieju Aventura was spectacular! It really ticked all the boxes........except for one! The engine! In case you weren't aware, Rieju are a long established Spanish company who in the past had mainly used Yamaha engines! Now they're using fucking Chinkies! So they've got this stunning looking machine......and then they fuck it all up by sticking a POS Chinkie motor in it! And here's the end result of the trip......centre stand fitted! And it was fitted for free as a birthday present! I also got hugs and kisses from the young lady in the office as well. Passed hundreds of bikes going in the opposite direction on the way back.....all headed to the MotoGP in Jerez! Much as I'd love to be living the dream back there with you guys......I think I'll keep suffering it out over here!

I was up on top of the hill in the distance in your photo, at the top there's a track going off to the right i went up there a short distance bloody midges everywhere until i lit the fire, that was 2012 fook me

My old riding buddy Gary got in touch tonight haven't seen him for years so going out for a spin with him on Sunday. He used to live on the bike when i was riding with him but he's retired now so is on it even more now he doesn't have to give up for work anymore.

Bloody freezing when I left at 07.30, been spitting most of the day as well but great to get out . Still in Wales at the moment and I didn’t bring my passport

cause he was born a week ago

Is that a naughty question?

Sure thing, Bob, I’ll try and do it tonight after dinner. I’m a river to my people. If I got proper connection tonight that is.

Not looking too bright here......around 17C and rain! So it's unlikely that I'll be able to get out, though things can change I suppose! Anyway......is anybody doing anything? Or are you all going to continue just looking at the board and fucking trolling at every opportunity?

First thing in the AM, before breakfast, was to help a frenchman picking up his dropped Transalp and mend his broken sidecase.

Yeh......I stay clear of them!

Good morning

Cold, but sunny here, the drugs have kicked in, i am no longer walking like penguin

Are those that crap composite pistons, throw them away and get someone to turn you out some stainless. Seeing them on cars going out of shape and sticking up causing over heating.

Marcel, attention.

Motus V4

He'd jump at that shit for sure! But I find it so depressing that you go into bike showrooms these days and they're just full of Chinkies using a multitude of different brand names. The irony is they've done it by building the sort of bikes that people actually want......like in the under 500CC Adv/Trailie market. And the Japs have just let them do it because they've been on a mission to build the bikes that they think people should have. Which is the polar opposite of what people actually want.

Oooooooooh look !! Phil's new bike .................

71...

I just had a google street view look at your area and this is the first image i see wtf is that giant bug there lol

I did 70 miles on mine today......what about you?

I'm home now, got home this afternoon just constantly eating and drinking it got tiresome after a few days but it didn't stop me

I can relate to that right now

What make are those calipers? There's a possibility that they're used by other bike manufacturers on their bikes? I found that the front calipers on an old CB750F2N that I had were exactly the same as used on the early model Triumph Street Triple 675! Ones from the Honda were as rare as rocking horse shit, but there were plenty of the Triumph ones around!

The forecast here isn't too smart either, but I don't usually get out on the bike at weekends anyway. Some more Bonneville carburettor diagnostics could be on the cards. Probably some beer drinking too! Cheers!

Well it's pissing down here, I have work tonight and Sunday night but not much else planned. Still crippled from all the gardening this week but will be back at it as soon as it dries up. Probably do something old fashioned like watch the telly with my Mrs.
