My Christmas season has been spent looking after Mrs. Hook w/ her new knee...gotta admit that I'm proud of her for doing well w/ her recovery. Seeing consistent increments of improvement everyday. Kind of anxious to see how well she'll be doing by our anniversary in Feb. Hopefully be mobile enough to do a day trip to Hermiston to see my Great G-son by then...

I've discovered that the best way to scare off the little bastards begging for sweets is to answer the door naked... oh, there's some more arrived... disguised as policemen this time...

I just realised that my paycheck is like my wifes period arrives once a month and last for 4 days

@Marcel is out partying in the street

I got on the beans a bit today, the bike is producing a lot of torque right from 1500 rpm through to I don't know where as I haven't gone past 5000 yet. It produces more from tickover it needs less juice to get going. I reset the throttle response to standard which was definitely the right thing to do. At the top end where the lack of Horsepower was evident before it just keeps going now so bhp is well up. Acceleration is very fast, I was the A68 for a while and passed a ton of cars and bikes, probably a couple of Hyabussa as well but it was hard to see them as they disappeared in my rear view mirrors. Climbing up into the Lammermuir hills it never missed a beat and the torque was relentless. It's a lot nicer to ride now, feels like a different bike. The valve train noise is really smooth now and the bike sounds really nice, different from before. I also noticed the sheep ran off more quickly but that might be just because it's a Harley and they didn't want to get raped.

It's all back together and the new air filter system is on.

Marcel spotted in Canada, look like he's up to old tricks again ..........

My Late Lady used to say to me, spend your money on what ever you want to spend it on. You are only here once. Please forgive any crap spelling i am pi55ed. Lyn.

This is Puskas, after 2 years of living in a shelter in Northern Portugal, sleeping with shelter from the rain but not from the cold he has now found out about central heating and soft beds and pillows and toys. He’s enjoying the warmth while outside the cold storms are hitting strong.

First thing you've said that makes sense.

@Buckster @Vamana Gupta Thanks for the relationship advice lads , while I appreciate it is coming from a good place I'm not sure if either of you are best placed to give it.

Thank you one and all for our kind words, it has helped me a lot.. Crissy greets to you all. Lyn.

Considering this, and when you think of a twat pain in the ass in this forum you think of Marcel. Nobody tries as hard as him to be nominated. So, my nomination is for @Buckster, the guy who allowed Marcel back after he flounced and left the first time.

Apparently he wanted a power upgrade

Today, i have mostly been playing with a chinese 2L turbo engine and autobox from our latest SSV

Let me introduce you to Hendrix Rain....my 1st GREAT grandson. He weighed just under 7 lbs. & is doing quite well. Gotta make an effort to go see him next year down in NM...

Pah !! Who needs the ‘ enablement centre ‘ I snapped the plastic lock button on my leg (again ) which releases my leg . I just spent an hour in the garage and fixed it with a t-shaped spacer from an Africa twin and a M8 bolt #feelingchuffed

At the spot where the two French forces met on 12th September 1944 ( one laned in Normandy with Operation Overlord, the other in Provence with Operation Dragoon) I got there just 81 years late...

The hot grips were a birthday present for my daughter’s friend who I got through her CBT. She is a genuine keen biker who sufferers from Reynard’s Syndrome so gets very cold extremities. Perfect gift I thought from our family to her as she commutes to Truro so genuinely needs them.

Shiny expensive yellow things in my car’s boot

Took an ambulance ride just now, a 91 year old lady fell down on the cobblestone street in front of Sofia’s practice and might have fractured something on her hip or leg. She was so scared to be by herself I came along for company.

been up hospital today, gave her a choice of an op to have skin graph or try stitch it... chose the second option ... she's ok though , thanks for asking

Tell the wife to shut the fuck up and go get it

I would have thought someone like you of smaller stature would have found it easy to operate in 3 ft headroom.

I am too gutted to say anything tonight, but i will try and compose myself for tomorrow. We used to chat every other Sunday evening the **** never said anything to me..Sorry i am not in a good place tonight. Lyn.

Even the plug sockets look shocked..

Dude gets tanned from going riding in a tshirt and suddenly he thinks he’s a descendant of Shaka Zulu!

Thankfully @Marcel has used his post allocation for the day.

Out shopping on the Tidler. Got some L plates as Shadow is going back on the road . But apparently I have to take the dog shit top box off first

I have been in that place, very very hard to discribe the pain..Then my new bike was delivered the day i was at the low point.. I know it sounds naff...but the bike and the thought of not being around to ride free in the fresh air changed my mind. The first time....Ren and Pete,and a few others helped me thou they did not know at athe time.. Stay focused folks and talk to your mates..just cos we are men does not make us super hero's..Talk. PS: i have now seen the light...It is biking and your mates.

My first time riding with my girlfriend and on our first trip on the R1150GS, heading to the Algarve for my birthday. First stop to take a picture overlooking the ocean, I confidently dig the front wheel on some softer sand, promptly dropping the bike. Not the best start

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!.

Well that's us finally finished moving, thats the old twat of a landlords number blocked and us having nothing else to do with that shit hole, now to get things in their places and try and chill abit

A young ventriloquist was touring Sweden and, one night, he was doing a show in a small fishing town. With his dummy on his knee, he started going through some of his standard dumb blonde jokes. Suddenly, a blonde woman in the fourth row stood on her chair and started shouting: "I've heard enough of your stupid blonde jokes. What makes you think you can stereotype Swedish blonde women that way? What does the colour of a woman's hair have to do with her worth as a human being? It's men like you who keep women like me from being respected at work and in the community, and from reaching our full potential as people. It's people like you who make others think that all blondes are dumb! You and your kind continue to perpetuate discrimination against, not only blondes, but women in general; pathetically, all in the name of humour!" The stunned ventriloquist started to apologize, but the blonde interrupted and screamed: " You stay out of this! I'm talking to that little shit sitting on your lap."

Four men went golfing one day. Three of them headed to the first tee and the fourth went into the clubhouse to take care of the bill. The three men started talking and bragging about their sons. The first man told the others, "My son is a home builder, and he is so successful that he built a friend a new home for free. Just gave it to him!" The second man said, "My son is a car salesman, and now he owns a multi-line dealership. He's so successful that he gave one of his friends a new Mercedes, fully "loaded." The third man said "My son is a stockbroker, and he's doing so incredibly well that he gave his friend an entire portfolio" The fourth man joined them on the tee after a few minutes of taking care of business. The first man mentioned, "We were just talking about our sons. How is yours doing?" The fourth man replied, "Well, my son is gay and is a go-go dancer in a gay bar." The other three men grew silent as he continued, "I'm not totally thrilled about the dancing job, but he must be doing well. His last three boyfriends gave him a house, a brand new Mercedes, and a stock portfolio."

First time it years the doors are lockable on my big shed where the Hornet lives. Spent all morning repairing and re hanging the doors that Gerotti broke. To be honest I enjoy a bit of wood work or wood butchering in this case. The best bit is that it never cost a penny. Coat of red stain on the next dry day and all will be good. The roof on the bike shed is next.
