Another scooter day today, brekkie, tapas and 200 klms of twisty tarmac.

Went into Yarmouth this morn to watch the service. Mandi picked me up on the way home so we could get a breakfast. Pic was a little late sorry.

General chat reached 100,000 posts today, Pete would have liked that.

got out for an hour on the bike yesterday, nearly home whn i came across 2 "yoofs" on mobylettes ( 50cc bikes) they were busy dismanteling one of the bikes so I stoppe to see if I could help. They'd somehow managed to stripp the threads of the exhaust header fitting to the cylinder. They had a good selection of tools with them, and didn't seem overy phased by the situation. I went and got an assortment of bolts and washers from the nearby hardware store for them and left them to it. As night was falling I did check they had phones to call someone if they couldn't fix it. lovely day for a spin

I am going out!

So now you’re Indian? Fishermen family before, viking etc, and now Indian? Do you have identity issues? Do you hate yourself?

Well my T300 Hinckley was delivered today. it is old and was cheap but I am chuffed to bits with it. Somebody has thrown a lot of money in consumables at it in the last couple of years. Starts on the button and sounds as sweet as these things ever get. I have no history apart from what I can glean from the DVLA MoT check. I can see a lots of tinkering in my future.

No mate that was me with the lid and jacket and the sun has fucked it up so rather than a manly blue it’s now a poofy purple. Good excuse to buy a new jacket I’d say, I’ll explain to my missus that you took the piss out of it and said I looked effeminate in it. As for the tripod………yep, that was good old Pete. Bloody shame, taken too early. I miss the old twat.

I just done a pack of Oreos

Yesterday - clearing up leaves and smoking the place out burning them. Today - village Remembrance Day parade / service. I have a lot of local military and ex military friends. They go straight to the pub from the service and stay there until chucking out time. I will wander up there in a bit for a couple.

Been out washing Devon off the bike. All tucked away now nice and clean. And yes I know washing my bike in the rain is questionable in mental heath terms but the dirt was bothering me

You’re a poutine eating canuck! Deal with it!

Be interesting to see his new look with tattooed hair and neck beard.

@boboneleg, I thought you said you were going to stop doing this?

Who doesn't.

Yes I miss him to...

When you say fluid change does that mean you'll be washing it again. Looks good , enjoy.

Bank Holiday today (rememberence day in France is on the day , not the nearest sunday) adn bizarrely nice weather, up to 17deg c and blue skies, so, having shovelled a 2nd coat of varnish on the shutter from the kids room and a first coat of rattlecan black on the ironwork for it, I got the bike out and was about to leave when a mate rang asking if I was thinking of riding and if so leaving when? I replied "now" we met up down the road a little way and ended up doing somewhat over 200km in a loop north and east from home. Great afternoon out

That and he posted a Pic of his penis.....the years of comparing his bike to a dildo has finally caught up to him i think...

Figure you guys don't see many snowblower like this in where most of you live...since im servicing it , I'll post a few pics. About the blower itself it a pronovost commercial grade , they have 3 levels of blowers...the lyns , the puma , and the commercial one wich this one is..its 72 inches wide , 30 inches high at the main intake and I think the impeler is 26 inches. Its got 356 hrs on it , they are Canadian built , no China parts on these...lol...built in Quebec...it weigh 900 lbs..

I would post the video but the dog ate the memory card.

Not bad is it! This is Vélez Blanco so a little inland from my place but lovely nonetheless. The day started well too!

Out on the scoot again…….its stupidly addictive.

All in good time. I am chuffed with it, needs lots of cosmetic TLC but is pretty spot on mechanically as far as I can tell. Newish discs and pads, hel braided lines, tyres less than 2k on, new back shock, new chain set. Needs a new fuel tap but I can get a kit for that. Also have no clue about valve checks so will need to get that done before to long. Apart from that a fluid change and all should be good to put it on the road.

Sweet looking Trumpet there @Saul... Have always liked the Sprint in black...bet that beast would sound awesome w/ an aftermarket pipe.

Busy right now, I will see if I can find it later, article said that the new owners plan to take the brand in a different direction, more trikes and lower capacity machines for the International market.

If he can’t do it with a hammer he can’t do it.

I’m being strong and resisting the bait. I’ll go read my book!

You make shrimp dip already with shrimp in it, you don’t get an opinion on food.

I think you’re all racist.

He would have gotten a kick out of it for sure!

There is a diesel shop in town , ive heard good reviews about the place , tampering with diesel emissions are illegal here but it isn't enforced, everyone who owns a diesel truck or machinery after the manufacturer warranty is over...they have everything deleted, I might stop in today and chatt with the fellow to see if he has any experience with this make and model of tractor .

And then your alarm clock went off....

Wasn't always this fortunate to own such a thing...I did freeze my arse off for many years, I remember countless nights shoveling snow at my father's house when I was boy , before snowblowers were invented...lol Before this tractor , I just had walk behind blowers...remember the first winter I moved to this place , the snow was so high I could touch the lower cable on the telephone pole...there was so much snow around the house I had to hire a payloader with a front mount blower to clear the snow around the foundation...since it was are first winter to this place...was affraid to get water in the basement when it starts melting...

You go steady

If he is driving a Miata he will already be at the hairdresser's, in fact he will be the hairdresser.

27F here in Elgin this morning....w/ a bit of fog, but it's starting to lift now. Got a coupla domestic tasks to take care of today....but a spin on the Mullet is definitely in order....

Quite a scenic area you live in there Skip....

Nothing much planned for today....spend 3 hours yesterday washing the truck..no way im going out until the pavement is dry....got to install a fresh battery in the polaris...Dan tried to pass a fast one on me by selling me his old battery from his 22 challenger for 20 bucks...lol....

I don’t know, when my mechanic had my bike’s gearbox apart last year it seemed like he was fighting BMW against their will for people to not work on bikes. Skills like that never become useless.
