Marcel has been blocked from posting for a week. It’s been a tough few days trying to moderate and filter his content, you can resume normal activity at least for a week now. Hopefully by then he’ll either be happily posting on X or under control and ready to be let back out. ps: we swear he’s a real life person and not a bot

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.

Preventative, it has 60,000 miles now (about 97,000 km) I have a bad lifter so I am servicing the cam chest while I am on, replacing inner cam bearings, tensioners and checking everything over.

My cam chain tensioners arrived today, I will probably fit them on Wednesday morning.

Congratulations @boboneleg

We should cut you off as well

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.

What are you all up to? I’m spending the weekend with Sofia, nothing really planned except for next week when i’m taking my bike to have a service and a clutch/gearbox/engine check.

Driving back from Epping yesterday there was sun shine and bikes while I was in the car so hoping to get out at some point. The TDM will swop places with the tracer in the garden shed which is a bit of an ordeal as the passage and garage have to be cleared of my other shit. Mandi wants to go through the spare room to get a work desk in, that'll be fun as it's stuffed with all sorts. We really need a good declutter.

Sofia made pizza tonight, good times:

Jake went to the doctor and told him he was having a problem, as he was unable to get his manhood erect: The doctor checked him out then told him that the muscles around the base of the organ were damaged and there was nothing he could do for him. However, he knew of an experimental treatment that might work, if he was willing to take the risk. The treatment consisted of planting muscle tissues from an elephant's trunk into his 'old fella'. Jake thought about it for a while. The thought of having to go through life without sex was too much for him to bear. So, with the assurance that there would be no cruelty to the elephant, the man decided to go for it. A few weeks after the operation, he was given the green light to go and try out his newly renovated equipment. As a result Jake planned a romantic evening with his wife Mary and took her to one of the nicest restaurants in town. In the middle of dinner he felt a strong stirring in his loins that continued to the point of being extremely painful. To release the pressure he unzipped his fly and his knob sprang out, slid across the top of the table, grabbed a bread roll and returned to his trousers. Mary was stunned at first, but then with a sly grin on her face said. "That was incredible. Can you do that again?" With tears in his eyes he replied. "I think I can, but I am not sure if another bread roll will fit up my arse."

…and stupid pouty lips. Really don’t know what goes through the mind of some people today.

Bond, James Bond....007

No, I wouldn’t

Been out obsessively washing things again. Just went out to wash the seagull shite off the Mrs’s X3 but got carried away. Knackered now and prolly have sunstroke.

The ultimate insult to a Welshman

Must be the retard half.

Half man half retard?

Looks like a younger version of you.

This would never have happened if Marcel had got the mod gig.

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.

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.

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.

Yeah its a Citroën....

Marcel was spotted on his new "sports" bike. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1C8rKmDhuz/

Has Shadow given up on it for good?

Have you stolen my dominator forks. Having said that they've been fine this last time, haven't ridden it.

My new Tig welder is great for aluminium.

Bloody fork seals again , lasted 4,000 miles this time ............

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.

Well the Harley is partially stripped down now, exhaust system off, transmission and engine oil drained and cam cover off, cam tensioners look okay but I will probably replace the shoes while I have it apart.
