A bit wet on the way to work, the trails are like lakes

When I was out on my ride this morning they bathed him. He was not happy and no longer likes Shadow

You don't want to move too far from your mother/sister/aunty. (Same person).

All back together now, waiting for the Yuasa then a decent day to get out and use it. May paint the engine casings in the meantime. Both sides need doing.

Tou can eat them raw, no problem. But the flavour is very different, less intense and more ocean. This one ended up sauted with onion and garlic and a chilly, white wine, then an heirloom tomato for a while to cook it properly, and parsley, a good mix with linguini, and a squeeze of lemon before serving. Tasted amazing, but the credit goes for the squid. The nice flavour and texture is what you get from buying line caught adult seafood that lived a good life while wild, instead of eating whale blubber like Marcel!

To be fair, it does look like they have been caught from somewhere near Chernobyl.

Just ordered a Yuasa for the Sprint from Tanya Batteries, the battery on the bike is a Numax that Tanya are selling for £37 , the Yuasa was double that but Worth it IMHO.

All back together on the front, tank cleaned out. Also petrol tap cleaned and resealed. Just want to fit my vacuum vSystem Scott Oiler and I can put the bodywork back on and I am on the road. Prolly first dry day next week. Just need to go and get a few litres of E5 to get it to the garage. Also think I am going to order a new battery I don’t trust the one on there and I am not willing to gamble. The one thing I think won’t work is the fuel light. I can’t get any reading at all from the sender. The wiring on the bike is fine as I can light the fuel bulb with a jumper wire. I don’t care that much TBH as the fuel tap has a reserve so I shouldn’t get stranded. (Famous last words). Also a question for you clever types, the replacement rear brake light switch has shat the bed and stuck on. It worked fine when I fitted it a few weeks ago but isn’t now. I’m tempted to leave as is for a minute and ride it to see if it frees up and starts working. It wasn’t a cheap switch. Oh and I did fit a 7.5 amp fuse on the heated grips.

Job i am doing now is my Honda C70 bags of power, so much so that the clutch slipped...done that now fitting the correct front forks to it. I am the second owner..bought new by my Dad in 1977..3thou odd miles. Mum rang me 12 years ago to say they had found it in the garage under a sheet..you better come and take it before your brother sells it. I was at Mums before she put the phone down.

Oops !!

The snow is starting to pile up...

Manky engine casings, next job on the list.

Well Shadow hasn’t been out on her bike for two months or more so I am taking it out every couple of weeks to keep the battery up and give it a run. Actually dry this morning, it won’t last, so did the 12 mile loop out around Par Moor and St Blazey. When I got back decided to do the same loop on the CBF. You don’t have to go far or fast for that 2 wheeled smile.

Pete would be scrambling for his Prozac....

Cheers, still a 10 footer but tidy and fingers crossed mechanically sound now. Desperate for some dryer weather so I can get some miles on it and get to know it.

I wonder when in history someone was so hungry that they thought they would try eating that sort of thing.

No, you have to clean and cook them first.

Packing my bags to return home from a weeks skiing in Andorra ( weird little place jointly owned by France and Spain for Marcel), 65 cm of snow in one day, fresh snow every day but also very strong winds so various parts of the domaine closed from one day to another. Been a fun week with good friends. Four am start tomorrow

Not really a day ride but out with 3 mates to the take advantage of the sunshine for a few hours. Good to stretch the Hornets legs for the first time in weeks. We rode over to Slaughterbridge, them Otterham Station. Down to Wadebridge, Dameralls then home. Tea was taken and a load of yap but not much else happened. Not my Hornet Also not my Hornet Stats

Next job for a young lad is the RM80, had a qwik look see...oil pump dead so big end and crank are in need of replacment, as is the piston and bore. So he is going for a big bore kit..so i have to make acrank case jig to split the cases first..I will get some metal in to do that next week. I have a drybolic puller/pusher so that may help..

I see you've got it fired up. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1CgXHdwYpF/

Bored. Waiting for parts and looking at pictures of boobs. Weather getting warmer at the weekend so I might have to get the bikes out.

More dusting overnight....kinda wishing for one of those old fashion blizzard...

Kinda like throwing a hot dog down a hallway eh?....

Looks like we're finally due for some snow tonight....I'll believe it when I see it. Since Mrs. Hook seems to have come down w/ a pesky sinus issue, I decided to do a load of her laundry for her...BUT not before I got a much needed session on the Mullet in before the precip starts falling....

It was bloody terrible.

And?

It's Portugal, they eat anything.

He wont understand that, its too long a word for him

No it is a unique flavour, I don't like it personally, then there is the way it looks.

It tastes..... like squid.... because its fucking squid

One of them has nine tentacles and the other has a human eye.

Went to the market today. 800 gram squid, bought one for dinner

Leaving soon for and atv run...roughly 80km one way...

Definitely better to have it stuck ON than off...I'd do the same. Winter temps can sometimes play havoc on switches. I've got a dodgy brake light switch on my Chevy pickup...got into the habit of pulling the brake pedal up w/ my toe before I leave a signal or park it...

A little dusting over night...

This is pretty neffty, disposable grill...6.99 $..on the menu, T bone and potato salade...

Well the postman has been.

I wonder who we know who has a hairdresser's car and is fond of ditches........... https://www.facebook.com/reel/1545261789893900

Twat... its the wrong model mx5 for mine but nice try

I would fit a 7.5 amp to that outlet to make up for the additional load from the cable.

People always want what they don’t have.

That's because you live in the outback .
