The Triumph for me , I'm certainly not voting for a barge that someone has spunked all over .......

EMPLOYEE NOTICE Due to the current financial situation caused by the fuel crisis and the slowdown in the economy, the Government has decided to implement a scheme to put workers of 50 years of age and above on early, mandatory retirement, thus creating jobs and reducing unemployment. This scheme will be known as RAPE (Retire Aged People Early). Persons selected to be RAPED can apply to the Government to be considered for the SHAFT program (Special Help After Forced Termination). Persons who have been RAPED and SHAFTED will be reviewed under the SCREW program (System Covering Retired-Early Workers). A person may be RAPED once, SHAFTED twice and SCREWED as many times as the Government deems appropriate. Persons who have been RAPED could get AIDS (Additional Income for Dependents & Spouse) or HERPES (Half Earnings for Retired Personnel Early Severance). Obviously persons who have AIDS or HERPES will not be SHAFTED or SCREWED any further by the Government. Persons who are not RAPED and are staying on will receive as much SHIT (Special High Intensity Training) as possible. The Government has always prided themselves on the amount of SHIT they give our citizens. Should you feel that you do not receive enough SHIT, please bring this to the attention of your MP, who has been trained to give you all the SHIT you can handle. Sincerely, The Committee for Economic Value of Individual Lives (E.V.I.L.) PS - Due to the Virus, recent budget cuts and the rising cost of electricity, gas and oil, as well as current market conditions, The Light at the End of the Tunnel has been turned off.

Did it myself. A combination of paint stripper and sanding with a high grit pad. It seems every pre 86 tank has corrosion perforations at the lowest points each side where the water collects and this one is no different. I was contemplating welding it up myself but thin aluminium is difficult and its 75% certain ill just blow through it so getting someone local bike shop to do it.

If I was you Ren...I'd start buying stocks in lube...lol.

Keith Richards?

I know a guy who breeds pyrenean mountain dogs. They are bloody huge , he says they were bred to guard sheep from wolves and bears. Lovely dogs but you'd need a shovel and a bucket to clear up after them.

Out and about on the tiddler this morning. Did the Fowey cross loop and throughly enjoyed it. Only time I felt a bit vulnerable was joining the A390 when it’s lack of acceleration feels abit exposed. Bouncing around between 4th and 5th gear preserving momentum is fun . Who would have thought getting the most out of 11 BHP ant 40 to 60 mph could be so. Only thing that does need planning is the lack of braking compared to the other bikes. Sky tip in the distance.

Out for a last ride on the Sprint before it goes back in the healing shed. New vacuum fuel tap, new fork seals and front brake strip and clean. Down to Meva and stopped in the market on the way back. Back in the shed. To be fix d My Dailey ride for the nexts few days. Certainly a contrast to the Sprint something like 100 kg’s lighter I think.

I’ll have to refer you to our resident expert on quantum entanglement, @Pedro.

We should cut you off as well

The ultimate insult to a Welshman

Must be the retard half.

Half man half retard?

Looks like a younger version of you.

Just getting back from my son's place , not sure exactly what's the English term you guys use...it was my Brue birthday today..brought a card and a birthday cake...he was telling a wyll back he was building himself a computer..he's in to gaming I guess...I was blown away..not sure exactly what I was looking at..but it looks powerful...can you imagine the trouble I would get into with something like that...all I know its liquid cooled...lol.

Rumour is he was trying to bum that horse.

Before I moved to eastern OR, I used to meet 3+ times a week w/ a small dog group at a local park about a mile away from home. Occassionaly, this one old boy would show up w/ his Pyrenese who was the most laid-back dog I'd ever met. My tiny little Shi Tzu just loved that big beast....I'd tell the others that she thought she was gonna be that big when she grew up.... 40f deg here this morning in Elgin....looking to get another Ride in on the Mullet today. Had a visit yesterday w/ a great friend who also moved here to Elgin from the same neck of the woods I'm from....known him since '78 & now he lives less than a mile away. Have always had 2-Wheels in common...& now Emtn, bikes as well. We also watched the MotoGP race from COTA...cool to see Aprilias on the top 2 steps of the podium...AGAIN.

We are living crazy times I tell you...have no idea what the future holds but it's not looking good...has for myself Im 60 ...I maybe have another 20 if Im lucky....but it's for the new generation....what messed up world they will have to deal with if we don't bring back common sence to the lands...

I am also a Welshman, the Big C treatment took some of my Teeth and most of my hair..but i am still here kicking and yelling at peeps..

You are basically a cordon bleu chef, @Pedro could learn a lot from you.

Only impotent men hunt for sport, the unnecessary destruction of nature serves no purpose other than to make weak individuals feel powerful for a moment before returning to real life where they are back to being the limp wristed scared little punks that they really are.

Sunshine this morning. What's the chances of getting the woman on her bike.

Right now it's raining in the back garden but sunny in the front garden so I'm going to have a cigar in the front garden.

It's that obvious isn't it I was talking to my mates about all the bits I am having to do to the Triumph. The feedback I got was get used to it, integral part of owning an old Triumph. Don't mind at all really, I find it interesting keeps me busy and playing bikes.

Bet you can't wait to get them forks to bits.

Shakedown of the Sprint continues. Got to the bottom of what I thought was a miss fire. Turns out it was a failing vacuum fuel tap. If I can get the bits should be a relatively easy fix. Also bike riding and running beautifully, real pleasure to ride. Got back today only to find I have blown a fork seal. So some good some pain in the arse. Looks like I will be stripping down the front end in the near future. Love the bike though, can see this is going to be a keeper. Bugger Love the look of it

NO doubt that Vespa is RD power'd....

Oh busa!

fixed it for you

No, that's the UK
