My brother has finally finished his Ossa MAR project...he built the frame, exhaust from scratch. Just needs a bash plate. The gold rims are from my XT 600....laced to Ossa hubs. The frame geometry was designed to fit his 6'-2" stature & I'm sure he can't wait to ride this beast once he gets home from Fire duty @ work. He amazes me with his mad skillz....Being a helicopter crew chief, he's a helluva wrench!

Another sweet Burrito Burner....

Going to the triumph factory Hinckley .. doing the tour

Getting my drone out and going to the local football field to learn how to fly the damned thing. Had it for 2 years and have yet to fly it. I'll either have some cool video or a lightly used drone for sale by tomorrow night...

That doesn't rhyme with the rest of your prayer

Bit of time has past. Thought we might of heard some info of how the funeral went and how many "bottom feeders" turned up. Rest well Pete and hope Alison's coping well.

Weather has been great here lately, really odd that it's this warm at this time. Got out on the scooter and snapped a few pics of the local area. Not really worthy of a Ride Report though so here they are ....

It’s that time of year when the female haggis grow wings and fly up to the mountains to mate.

Having undertaken a quick visit to the UK last week to start the process of Power of Attorney for my old man I’ve been absolutely knackered since I got back. It so fucking stressful so today I thought fuck it, get the mountain bike out! Can’t get to the Yamaha dealer until later in the week to see if I can get the part to fix the old Yamaha without bodging it (it may come to that! ). ……..the UK was expensive, miserable and depressing

Rain held off…

What you doing? Me I am working Friday, Saturday and Sunday overnight. Looking like the weather is good enough to use the bike all weekend so that's a positive. Hopefully I will get to watch some rugby as well. Currently Reading Geezer Butler's Biography along with listening to the albums he talks about in it, bloody good blast from the past. So many Sabbath Songs I had forgotten about. So will finish that plus I have actually had a song written for me to sing, only the second time that has happened so working on that while I have the chance also.

So let's see now ......................... you can get a real trail bike but then put gay tyres on it and pretend play at being a trail rider by parking it in a lay by ............ Or you get just do it even if you only have a Vespa available to ride on that day

you been down Sauls way and knocked one out...

Finally managed to get over to the Yamaha dealer to see if the bit need is available. Seems not and they were not interested in fixing it in any other way e.g. a bodge. So, off to buy a small bit of metal tube of some kind to fit in the hole and then apply shit loads of JB Weld to see if that holds it in place. It should do as it’s pretty potent stuff by all accounts. Once set and cured it’ll be back on with the hose and see if the bastard leaks. Fingers crossed it doesn’t so I can at least part ex it for a new(ish) bike………now don’t worry, I’m not about to start a Pete-style poll!

My mate is leading a ride over Gospel Pass, he'll be on his Gas Gas EC700, Ian will be on his GS1250 and I'll be on my Vespa

The wife is going to Croatia with a couple of her friends for a long weekend so i'll be on my own. My Saturday will be starting with another scrap run first thing and since i got the van with the roof rack on for the weekend i may go and pick the timber i need for the log store i have to build so that's what i think my weekend will be But I'll probably end up wanking all weekend and do fuck all

Well since my annual Dr. visit on Wednesday, my BP is of concern....so I'm now HellBent on Riding everyday....gotta get the lead outta my arse! Steaks on the barby tonight along w/ the usual Tequila session--

I go out of my way to park in front of signs like that.

Played at turd polishing yesterday oh and my hand pump foam bottle shat the bed yesterday. It’s DOA after six uses, not moaning really it was only £6.99 so I suppose I got my monies worth. Just ordered a powered replacement from Amazon so we will see how that goes. Gave it a soaking in ACF to help it survive the winter. Cleaned up pretty well for 17 years old and 34k miles. Adjusted the manual cam chain tensioner, very therapeutic just listening to the chain rattle disappear as you do it. Drive chain adjustment hasn’t moved at in the last 2k miles, so just cleaned and lubed it. Just gotta change the coolant and It’s ready for the cold.

Haunting them like he did us with his bloody hernia scar ..................

No, it was a mate of mine down in Somerset who took him out. I've never met him but he asked Chris if he knew a one-legged rider called Bob. He was also asking about the Canadian dude with a boyfriend called Billybob

The house work can wait till the sat tv stops working.

Well what do you know, I have some trail riding mates down in Somerset who were out showing some Americans on the weekend and during the conversation my name came up. It turns out that one of them was @Beemer Bummer of this parish. Not a great photo but it's the only one I've got , he's the dude on the left of my mate with his helmet on . What are the chances of that ???

MY kind of Bike mechanic....

did a thing week before last -

After getting rid of some of the scrap i have this morning i then spent an hour or so jet washing Cornwall off the X Trainer and decided to hose the Marmite wagon down while i was there. I then had a bit of a clean up in the garage but got bored and took the dog out for a spin, just along my local network of trails only around 40 miles, Eglwysilan and Merthyr mountains were littered with people hunched over looking at the ground i think its shroom season again. I only took one photo of the lane maintenance i done a few months ago seems to be holding up ok after the recent heavy rain we've had. It was a pleasant ride and in one of the 20mph zones i think i found the horrible buzz I've been having for years at a certain RPM, it appears to be the LED light on the front of the bike, will have to look at getting it rubber mounted some how.

Stop trying to deflect, you only have two days a year there when it isn’t snowing, you only ride in America and you take your bike there on a trailer like a homosexual.

The Vista house on Crown Point in the Columbia river gorge...been there on about 3 different bikes....the view from there is awesome...

This one definitely didn't cause a twitch .......

CLIVE !! Sorry about the shouting but you wouldn't be able to hear me otherwise . How's things ?

A day in the life of Bruce.

im just glad you have come to your senses after our little chat now if you want to have a chat about the Cube ..im here for you mate.

Oh I do hope the rain stops before I have to go to work tonight

Shadow is the Hamster in this house. She always has several stashes of nice stuff in her room. I was looking for a Pot Noodle for my older daughters pack lunch, none in the cupboard, Shadow had 14 stashed in her hidy place. I was chatting to the Mrs to see if I should chide Shadow over it, she brought up the point that she was malnourished until she was around 5 and we decided to leave her be. It's not like I don't know where the stashes are, she is not greedy over stuff and will always share if asked.

I'm 4 beers in the wife is out and i have the munchies, the wife said before she left don't go looking because there's nothing here, it took a while but i found her stash the lying moo, so my contribution to this thread is this and their all gone now LOL

Brilliant pic...

Yes they did, I showed them a photo of your bike and even though they're not bikers they said '' that looks like a dildo ''

it wont be an orange scooter ...thats for fucking sure.

Darn...rain today...looks like it will be more touch ups...finished with the tractor yesterday...suppose I'll start with the blower next...
