Bugger! I could have took a photo on my epic ride to the hospital today.......I parked in the bike/motorcycle area, next to a R1, when I came out after visiting time he/she had moved the bike along 2 places!.

What could possibly go wrong?

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

Think I broke Pedro with the qwad...lol.

Looks like a job for @Six30, unfortunately he flounced like a pussy. Better call @Saul

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.

Pedro its simply cause 99 % of us aren't riding at the moment..most are still dealing with mid winter conditions...unlike you..who's experiencing spring...the lack of participants isn't cause of you , in fact you did and excellent job, and thanks for taking the time ...

Well that recommendation sounds like the kiss of death

So unlike you to go off on one and fuck everything up for yourself. You stable genius you.

Yes....lol...Pete and Phil were pissed and I was promptly demoded...lol.

I will do it if no one else want to. I would appreciate your help for the first Month @Pedro if no one else steps up.

You need to get hold of Adult Social Services Clive which are part of the local authority (council), plus there are other agencies. PM me your email and I will forward the links to you. You can challenge the discharge if you feel you don't have safe provision for your wife. Sounds hard but you would be doing it for the best reasons. You have to say, no she can't come home until there is a care package in place, you have to say you cannot cope and it is not safe for her or you. You will have to explain to them that the only place she can sleep is the sofa which is not safe or suitable. First two weeks of the package is already funded without assessment. You will probably get it ongoing depending on your benefits and the assessment of Adult Social Services. Age Concern and Citizens Advice will help. It's stressful mate but you will get what is needed if you stick to your guns. Horrible that you have to do so but that is the way of things in England. If you want to discuss more PM me and I will put you in touch with my Mrs who is sorting out something very similar for her Mum.

May I suggest one of these.

She has compression fractures in the middle/lower part of her spine, not helped I expect with her suffering from osteoporosis..... apart from a couple of X Ray's and giving her pain meds, that have very little effect, she has not even had a doctor visit her and tell her whats what......peace & quiet!. I have that all the time But I will make the most of the ride to the hospital later.....

Oh no mate whats happened to her? Don't enjoy the peace and quiet too much, but when you gotta ride, you gotta ride

Perfect weather to go out in a leather jacket and just be out. Went up to the hill cafe for lunch, on the way there a road was partially washed out for a few meters, no issue really but impassable for cars. Then stopped for a coffee and a chat with my friends at the Dainese shop, then got groceries for dinner and now home. Must have been over 20° today, perfect but every field is still flooded and they say it’s going to rain again next week. Didn’t stop for pictures as I was soaking in the weather on the bike.

Stripped and painted. Gotta wait 24 hours for the paint to cure before I can refit the covers. In the mean time I want to check the friction plates in the clutch and fit the new springs.

First proper blue skies I’ve seen since December. Am now enjoying being home with the windows open and Spring beginning to spring, and will take the bike out for lunch today.

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..

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.

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.

Sending up Prayers for Mrs. Clive... I have done the same Clive.... ya gotta Ride when you can--

Wales where i live was like that a few years ago, cheaper to pay the parking fine on the road and bloke the traffic into the hospital than pay the parking fine. They never told anybody but pay to veiw TV as well. so nobody had the TV on, people brought in radio's all playing differnt programs at the same time...the nurses went mental..and the doctors doing the rounds in the mornings.. So they stopped the lot...all free now in Wales. PS: get well soon Mrs Clive.

Just back from visiting my wife in the Hospital, it costs £5..50p to park the car for 2 hours, i hope the weather forecast is correct, then I can go on the scoot tomorrow........free parking!.

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

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

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!

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.
