This is Puskas, after 2 years of living in a shelter in Northern Portugal, sleeping with shelter from the rain but not from the cold he has now found out about central heating and soft beds and pillows and toys. He’s enjoying the warmth while outside the cold storms are hitting strong.

Well that's us finally finished moving, thats the old twat of a landlords number blocked and us having nothing else to do with that shit hole, now to get things in their places and try and chill abit

A young ventriloquist was touring Sweden and, one night, he was doing a show in a small fishing town. With his dummy on his knee, he started going through some of his standard dumb blonde jokes. Suddenly, a blonde woman in the fourth row stood on her chair and started shouting: "I've heard enough of your stupid blonde jokes. What makes you think you can stereotype Swedish blonde women that way? What does the colour of a woman's hair have to do with her worth as a human being? It's men like you who keep women like me from being respected at work and in the community, and from reaching our full potential as people. It's people like you who make others think that all blondes are dumb! You and your kind continue to perpetuate discrimination against, not only blondes, but women in general; pathetically, all in the name of humour!" The stunned ventriloquist started to apologize, but the blonde interrupted and screamed: " You stay out of this! I'm talking to that little shit sitting on your lap."

Four men went golfing one day. Three of them headed to the first tee and the fourth went into the clubhouse to take care of the bill. The three men started talking and bragging about their sons. The first man told the others, "My son is a home builder, and he is so successful that he built a friend a new home for free. Just gave it to him!" The second man said, "My son is a car salesman, and now he owns a multi-line dealership. He's so successful that he gave one of his friends a new Mercedes, fully "loaded." The third man said "My son is a stockbroker, and he's doing so incredibly well that he gave his friend an entire portfolio" The fourth man joined them on the tee after a few minutes of taking care of business. The first man mentioned, "We were just talking about our sons. How is yours doing?" The fourth man replied, "Well, my son is gay and is a go-go dancer in a gay bar." The other three men grew silent as he continued, "I'm not totally thrilled about the dancing job, but he must be doing well. His last three boyfriends gave him a house, a brand new Mercedes, and a stock portfolio."

"I saw a job advertised as a fanny waxers assistant. Job includes removing ladies knickers, prepare fanny for waxing and rub oil in after waxing. When i asked at the job centre they said i had to go to Cornwall. I said why, is that where the job is? No they said thats where the back of the fucking queue is!!"

Spent a few more hours on the Sprint this morning. When I got the bike the oil light worked but after a few starts it went out but sort of glowed when the motor was running. I didn’t worry to much it didn’t run badly at all, I thought electrical gremlin more than low oil pressure. A gamble I know but that was the choice. Anyway when I changed the clocks I put new bulbs in the idiot lights as there were some cheap LEDs in the old clocks. The oil light never worked again. I checked the oil light bulb again and it was fine. Oil pressure switch is a known weak point I was advised by the Triumph cognoscenti. So replaced that and no joy it made no difference. I got the manual out and studied the wiring diagram. Traced the wiring runs from joint to joint. All good until I checked the last one between the pressure switch to the first connector behind the battery box. So simple enough to fix, ran a new wire and replaced the connector. Covered everything in dielectric grease reassembled everything and the job was done. All technically simple enough but it took bloody ages tracking the different connections on the loom and making sense of the wiring diagram next to the bike. I got there in the end but what made it more of a ball ache was that some of the wiring colours were different to the illustration in the Triumph workshop manual. Yes I checked I was using the right diagram with the bikes Vin. Must have just been a random week that mine was built in Hinckley Works perfectly now though. Next job is to sort the low fuel light.

Well that was an hour of high tension but the carbs are back in. Won’t lie it’s not a pleasant job but doable with a bit of patience and a hair dryer to warm up the rubbers. The bike started first time on choke, came off choke reasonable quickly and once warm was able to set the tick-over to where it should be around 1050 ish. Supposed to be 950 to 1050 so no complaints. Still have to check the carb balance but to be honest it’s doesn’t seem far off IMHO. The point for me is that the bike ticks over well off choke now which it didn’t before. So for now I will take that . Still be a bit of fine tuning to come but I am a happy bunny. Still have to clean the tank out before the bike is rideable but my garden is currently like the Somme so getting the Sprint in and out isn’t easy on my own so no rush for that. Much else to do.

When I was out on my ride this morning they bathed him. He was not happy and no longer likes Shadow

Yeh I expect you have more knowledge of arseholes than Clits.

He has thanked me several times. . He is a good lad. I wouldn’t being doing it else. Finished, not perfect but better than it was, much better than the other side. Which I will do at some point. Needs Fork seals first.

@Buckster...

Finally got the chance to sync the carbs. Bike is ticking over beautifully. Throttle response is spot on and sounding very smooth. Short of getting a colour tune and playing with the air screws not sure there is much else to be done. As to the chinky gauges I am amazed at how good they are for £19.99. Not suggesting they are the best but the appear to be working very well.

Going stir crazy today as I haven’t been out on 2 wheels for 10 days or more. Had to run a couple of errands so took Shadows bike for a run, she’s hasn’t been on it for maybe 2 months. She has had health issues and it’s hit her confidence a bit. Anyway not dwelling on that, it was good to go out on a bike even if it was a 125. Throughly pleasant little thing as long as you’re not in a hurry. It handles well with plenty of grip even in the wet, Not sure I could cope with life at mostly 50 mph. Just feel to vulnerable with next to nothing in reserve. Better than not riding though.

Still getting out and about on mine Clive……..brrrraaaaaaap That’s my mates SYM 300 GTS behind mine with a rather fetching ELF paint job…….he’s a really good sprayer and has a booth in the corner of his swanky garage.

I have a doctors appointment at 11.30 this morning . That in itself is a modern day triumph as I only phoned this morning. When the doctor asks ''what seems to be the problem'', I shall get out my list ..........

I had mine about ten years, two of the best bikes i have ever owned,, Like Pete and Ren i HAVE had a bike or three in my time.

To the dickhead who accused me of following his wife home from the pub last night, I know where you live!

Electric cars the truth I'm fed up of comments from people ridiculing EVs. They don't know what they're talking about. Personally, I drive two top of the range EVs, a Jaguar and a Porsche. Their acceleration and handling is fantastic. They look brilliant and they're really cheap to run. They need hardly any maintenance and haven't depreciated since I bought them. Literally the only criticism I could make of them is sometimes, if I really push them into a corner, they can fly off the track and get stuck under the sofa....

Yebbut he’d fail the screen test , as far as I know Moses didn’t walk around calling everyone a cunt

Damn I look good at every point in history.

Saul was asking to get his beard fixed....here you go Saul , have to say , you shaved 15 years off ....looking good....the tint might be off...looks like KTM orange...lol.

Gay fantasy ??

There’s already an ugly knob on the seat.

It’s flouncing time.

Grab your tin helmets everyone

I have gone and bought a hairdressers car...

There is a heater in there, twas 9 degrees here but around 25 in the tent thing. Perfect to spray the fairing panel. It's up the shed drying now, I'll see the results in the morning.

Here we go then folks , it's the one you've been waiting for .......... Let's see your submissions for the first month of the new year. Photos must be in Landscape (not portrait) and be a photo of a bike YOU own and have been taken in January 2026. @Vamana Gupta ......... Landscape = lying down flat, Portrait = standing up

Well it’s How High’s 19th birthday tomorrow so I have bought him some new mirrors and am fixing the crash damage on the right hand side of the bike best I can. I have got a spare indicator and in the process of patching up the fairing. I recently bought a hot stapler to stick the fairing back together. Works surprisingly well, much better than I thought it would. Still gotta patch two holes and fill the cracks but I am hoping it will look presentable from 10 feet once I have painted it satin black. Holes filled with fibreglass. Hideous mirrors, but it is what he wanted.

The Oxford Heated grips on my CBF were worn smooth and the controller was on its last legs so I treated it to a new set of the same. Also while I had it stripped down I fitted an upgraded Scott Oiler that I was generously given a few weeks ago. I will put the simpler Scott oiler on my Hornet. I bought the commuter versions of the Oxford grips as they are significantly cheaper and don’t have the smart controller. They only have 2 settings but I never used the 5 levels of heat on the standard version of the heated grips. Plus they have an on off switch rather than a load of buttons. I also took the CarPlay GPS off the bike as I just wasn’t using it. To much clutter on the bars.

It would not bother me one little bit if he was in my car for the journey. Being as deaf as a post I would not hear him.

Still hanging around, managed to get out in the garage for a couple of hours today

Australian: "That your dog?" New Zealander: "Yep" Australian: "Mind if I speak to him?' New Zealander: "Dog don't talk.” Australian: Hey dog, how's it going?" Dog: "Doing all right." New Zealander: (look of shock) Australian: Is this your owner?" (Pointing at the New Zealander) Dog: "Yep." Australian: How's he treating you?" Dog: "Real good. He walks me twice a day, feeds me great food and takes me to the park once a week to play." New Zealander: (Look of total disbelief!) Australian: "Mind if I talk to your horse?" New Zealander: "Horse don't talk.” Australian: "Hey horse how's it going?" Horse: "Cool." New Zealander: (Extreme look of shock!) Australian: "Is this your owner?" (Pointing to the New Zealander) Horse: "Yep." Australian: "How's he treating you?" Horse: "Pretty good, thanks for asking, he rides me, brushes me down often and keeps me in a nice stable to protect me from the weather." New Zealander: (Look of total amazement!) Australian: "Mind if I talk to your sheep?" New Zealander: "That sheep's a fucking liar!!”

Everytime my wife and I want to have sex,we have to say the code word 'Washing Machine.' The other night I leant over to her in bed and said,"Washing Machine." She said,"Sorry babe,I'm too tired,maybe tomorrow." After 10 minutes she felt guilty so she turned over,and whispered in my ear,"Washing Machine." I said,"Sorry love,it was only a small load so I did it by hand."

A pirate walked into a bar and the bartender said: 'Hey, I haven't seen you in a while. What happened? You look terrible.' 'What do you mean?' said the pirate, 'I feel fine.' Bartender: 'What about the wooden leg? You didn't have that before.' Pirate: 'Well, we were in a battle and I got hit with a cannon ball, but I'm fine now.' Bartender: 'Well, ok, but what about that hook? What happened to your hand?' Pirate: 'We were in another battle. I boarded a ship and got into a sword fight. My hand was cut off. I got fitted with a hook. I'm fine, really...' Bartender: 'What about that eye patch?' Pirate: 'Oh, one day we were at sea and a flock of birds flew over. I looked up and one of them shit in my eye.' Bartender: 'You're kidding, you lost an eye just from bird shit?' Pirate: 'It was my first day with the hook.

PS: i pi55ed them off cos i bought the BMW 1200GS 2009.. CASH:

Wow pot and kettle

Started refitting the carbs today, they passed the leak test before going on the bike. Got halfway through fitting them and got called away. Hopefully get chance to do more tomorrow.
