From our local and favorite motorcycle road

Well today is Leo's 2nd birthday..... how has time gone so quick.... im sure it was only yesterday that he was born

After a hard night, got up at around 10 and made it out by 11, 600 km later and i’m in Faro. One stop for lunch, one for fuel and one to warn of my eta. 28 to 30° all day.

So the cam plate is pretty good, not perfect but perfectly serviceable. So with that in mind I'm dipping into my savings and getting all the good stuff.

The new lithium battery will go in front of the ECU and the other electrical stuff can go either partly in front of the battery and /or under the ECU.

A nice pre action shot of the busa in staging lanes at the pod. Im hoping its oriented and composed better now @boboneleg

taken this weekend visiting a friend in the Algarve

When we finally made it back down to Hwy 204, we decided to head west towards the old Spout Springs ski area which gets up to 5100 ft. elevation....shame it hasn't been running for at least 5-6 yrs. as its only 30 miles from home. Definitely a bit more chilly at the higher elevations.... On the way back down, we seemed to have our timing dialed in as there was virtually no traffic....so I was able to keep a steady 55+mph pace for a good 6+ miles....coasting in neutral....gotta love a manual gearbox.

Because you've got bloody chores to do and a wedding tomorrow.............

Just because, why wouldn’t you go out in this weather.

The stupid ECU doesn't quite fit between the frame bars so I need to mount it high enough so it will fit. I can then use the space under it for the battery connections and some other electrical bits like the indicator resistors etc. The original ECU supports had AV mounts so I guess I should do so again, although the whole thing will be mounted upside down. I made up a plate which will hold the ECU over the new tray with enough space under it to accommodate the other electrical bits. The seat will be mounted higher than the original so I have a plate each side to infiltrate the gap between the frame and the underside of the seat.

Trying to order a new pair of jets for my old C70z2 carb..the crap has set hard in them, not a chance nolonger available i am told. So i took a number 13 numbered drill to them..Clear now. we will wait to see how it runs

Got bored of waiting for Mandi to decide if it was going to rain or not,(and it didn't), so went and watched the touring cars. Ordered oil then realised I'd ordered the wrong type so ordered the right stuff, I can use the wrong in the dominator so no prob. A genuine chain set popped up on Ebay for £100 so that's on the way too.

Got that tree unloaded....headed to Kingsbury Ln. but not much in the way of wildflowery, probably due to the screwy weather we had last winter....they might still show in another month...we'll see. Everything was sooo Green from the recent rains.... I kept thinking how much fun this would have been on my old XT 550....

You may notice some changes, the septic tank is now the dark side. If you have to post something that can’t go anywhere else then it can go there, over time we will probably grow the section. Things will get purged there on a regular basis, still no porn though, so if that’s your bag you can find more suitable places in the dark recesses of the internet. Also @boboneleg has been demoted due to being a lazy useless cunt, this was reported to us by none other than @boboneleg. Perhaps an early play for Twat of the Year but we will see. No plans right now for a replacement moderator, let’s see if we need one and if so I will appoint someone. If you have anything to say about any of this please send an email to; I’mafecklesstwatanddeservetobeignored@ifyouthinkthisisarealemailaddressyouareaknob.com Thanks for reading this, you can go back to looking at cats on YouTube now.

He is a mixed breed, but definitely some Jack Russel in there, it’s quite obvious by looking at him but particularly when he gets scared or hurt and his response is to tear apart the next person’s neck and face

An hour walk in the morning, takes two hours because we’re stopping to sniff and pee everywhere Today is a national holiday on top of being a saturday, so the village is going into full stupidity mode with all the Lisboners arriving and foreign girls parading everywhere with coffee cups in hand. Me and Luke will shelter from that until tomorrow. I barely managed to keep my sanity with a brief stop by the market.

18c here from 12 o clock on until 1900hrs Very not like Welsh weather, did lots doing the new shed base ready for the woodwork guy to come tomorrow. No idea why Tony wants to pay somebody to do the rest. All the hard work we have done I think he ( the woodwork guy ) is a family guy short of work. Tony did a repair on his work van two weeks ago that if not done would have failed the MOT. at no cost.. So he (Tony ) is Human after all.

Just finished work and there is a thick harr rolling in from the Firth of Forth.

I’m not

Out on the Tidler to run a few errands

Managed to connect up the new clock, all the wiring will go under the tank. It looks like a birds nest but next winter I will rewire the whole thing and replace lots of the bulky original stuff with a Mo Unit Blue.

Finished work a bit early today so had a while to think about how to accommodate the big ugly ECU that I cannot get rid of, and the battery, the original used to live in a big box on top of the gearbox housing. The plan is to try to tuck them away under the seat position. The ECU box is the aluminium thing resting on the back of the frame in the two photos above. I made up a tray that hooks onto some existing frame fixings at the front and screws to the underside of the bar which supports the back of the seat.

Where's the fucking bin !!

I can't use cheese eating surrender monkey cams in my superior American steel horse.

I just ordered the cams from the USA.

This isn't that kind of forum.

You blink and suddenly they are grown up. You need to make the most of your time with them.

….and that folks, is why you shouldn’t post when drinking…

I'm going to Worcester tomorrow to see a band. The guitarist is a mate who I haven't seen for over 30 years

The weekend is here, seems good weather all around so what are you lot doing? I’m probably not riding, taking care of Luke, so we’ll probably have a walk early in the morning and one late afternoon if it doesn’t get too hot for him. Go on, you all tell @boboneleg and @Bucksterhow you’ll be out on your bikes!

My local Honda dealer has a couple of them, they are thrashing the blollcks off them to see how they do, so far Dad and sun have been around the Euro mountains for three weeks, returned home and given them to mates to go and thrash them..5k miles and no problems. Thrashed by 6 different peeps for 6 months.. Holding up well.. Mind it helps as welas Honda they do KMT,s as well.. mind this is two bikes, the Raly and the more road-ish bike. Both doing well.

Check your recycling bins. Our twat Amazon driver doesn't even ring the bell now, just chucks the parcel down next to the bins.

I'm thinking that but still got work to do. Sun got itself out about an hour ago and the skys are just like yours.

Missed delivery of my chain and sprockets today.

I can’t help but think you’re going to a lot of effort to get a bike you might not enjoy at all, considering your two other bikes.

That front sprocket is goosed.

Very underrated artist, he did a Piano room spot on Radio 2 last year (I Think)

Also looks like the chain has started to grind into the boss of the sprocket
