Just got notified yesterday that I'm gonna be a Great Grandparent this coming October... here's my oldest Grandson's 1st view of his future riding partner...that he already has a bike in the waiting for the little guy...

Over the past month, Special Services investigators, with assistance from the Canadian Police Technological Crimes Unit, examined graphic images and videos extracted from cellular devices seized during a previous drug-related investigation. The material depicted various sexual acts involving a Moose, investigations have lead to this artists sketch to help identification of the suspect.

Well the deed is done I’m a married man ..

I saw a few of Fred's girlfriends, it is lambing season to if Fred had been here he would have gone full nonce. I then headed to Talla Reservoir, as usual the scenery was okay. Going off the side of the road would give you a bad day here. I eventually rejoined the main road and headed back to Edinburgh.

I also wanna build a tiny cabin or two for visiting bike riders. Plenty of room behind the garages for them and I've always wanted to build one. Something like these:

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

My CBF600S has the wrong colour front brake callipers. They have obviously been replaced at some point with callipers from a naked CBF600N which are black not gold. They are functionally identical and work fine but it is getting on my tits that it’s wrong. So for no other reason than to satisfy my OCD, I am going to replace them. I got a second hand set of gold callipers from eBay for £27 and at the same time I ordered a rebuild kit for them for £34 from Wemoto. I started stripping and cleaning the callipers up today and to my surprise they are pretty good. All threads perfect and pistons appear spotless. I am waiting for the tool to come to get them out and polish them up. I know there are other ways to get the pistons out but I wanted the right tool which is coming tomorrow. I would guess that I don’t really need to replace the seals but I am going to because I have the new ones on the bench. First attempt at cleaning has brought them up quite well. There are a few minors blemishes here and there but I think the callipers will look fine once they are on the bike, after all it is 18 years old. Of course there will be more cleaning before I fit the new seals. Before anyone pipes up, if this is boring fuck off and read about Marcy’s adventures. I am a bike geak and I like this sort of stuff.

Had a slightly longer spin out this morning as it was cloudy for the first part of the morning so it kept the temperature down to a manageable level. Some great views around here………..might pop over to the nudist beach next time

I think we might have to turn this Marcel / Rich / Buckster content only accessible upon request. This shit is just too embarrassing to be out in the open. Consider yourselves all lucky. As a moderator, I am not able to turn on the ignore function.

Paolo had gone to church and then a pic-nic with his Nonna we had a chance to get out today . We went to Alfred's Tower and an ice cream parlour (no Strawberry) on a farm near Nunney .

You look like an Eighty year old ..........

Went out for a ride this morning, went to Damerells then Padstow and then followed the A39 (Atlantic Highway FFS) to Camelford then onto Bodmin Moor at Davidstow. Just a stunning place to be. Got lost for 30 minutes or so but knew it was all good when I found St Breward. Onto Blisland then down the A30 to Bodmin.

Just did an eight day trip on the TRK502X which took me from Murcia province, up to Segovia where I met five friends from the UK. From there we went west to Miranda do Duro which is on the border between Spain and Portugal. Further west to Chaves and then onto Porto for two nights following most of the Rota Norte which was fantastic. We headed east to Avila using as many twisty mountain roads we could find and then finally I had to head home to Murcia province. My mates went north via Leon and the mountains so they can get their ferry on Wednesday. Fantastic trip with only a little motorway to get around Murcia city. No rain, great roads, only stopped by the police once early on Sunday morning to carry out an alcohol test (no problem!) The TRK is a fantastic moto and wasn’t left behind by the larger bikes…….and of course, it cost much less to buy! ……..where to next?

So on Sunday afternoon I decided to take a run out as the temperature was up to a near Caribbean level of 12c. I headed south into the Scottish Borders to the popular spot of Moffat but other than a sprinkling of power rangers and a few born agains it was quiet. My new exhausts were attracting a lot of admiring looks from the ladies. From there I headed to St Mary's Loch for a bit of cottaging. I was alone in the toilets though so I just took a piss instead. Again there weren't a lot of bikes, I did speak to a Polish couple who were on a Harley Electra Glide and I had a cigar break. Then I headed back using a single track road I wanted to explore. This took me past Megget Reservoir.

After 5 yrs. of not seeing my son...(he's a PMC in Israel) I got wind that he's here in OR currently!....just talked to him for the 1st time in a coupla years...he's in Portland to get his beat-up shoulder operated on (injury from Iraq back in 2011) & process a load of paperwork to get his Top Secret security clearance for a new contract in Germany after he finishes the remaining contract in Israel. Gonna relieve my anxiety a bit as a parent to know he'll be moving up the food chain & outta the field....probably gonna go see him next week...pretty stoked about that!

Packing for the move that begins next week. Entire house contents are boxed up and ready for the movers. We'll be in for a culture shock; moving from one of the wealthiest areas of the USA to one of the poorest. But the riding in Appalachia is great and I'm looking forward to it....

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

same here.... was behind a car the other day in traffic... stink coming out of it, i had to pull over ten minutes later and bought some chocolate biscuits, two caramacs, 3 bags of cheese and oinion crisps, a mars bar and a box of maltesers .

I went to Brighton today, and by some miracle I actually remembered to take a photo

It’s chav for fuck off

It's true, everything he says here is just make believe, here is a real picture of him.

Not much to see really just out for a gentle bimble as my grey mates were all weary of the weather so I went out for a mooch on my own. Did 40 miles down to Gorran to take some practice shots for BOM.

I headed down to Newport now to go and have a gander at Wildcat Scooters. It was a fail as it wasn't open ........... As it was so hot now it was time for some refreshment , so I stopped at a pub in Caldicot ........... I then had a brief look at Caldicot castle................. I needed to fill up twice during the ride so it's probably a little bit thirsty (aren't all 2-strokes) and don't even ask about the faff with the pre-mix oil but all things considered this is a great little summer ride pop pop

Out with the Fowey grey gang today. Combined age 240+ years. Truro, Blackwater, Helston, Porthleven and finally Restronguet Creak to do a Freddie Dobbs. Well not really just for a pot of tea

I needed to head back home now so I started to make my way back , on the route I took I passed Gt. Coxley tithe barn ........... and then stopped for a quick break by my favourite lake near Malmesbury .......

I was out at 07.30 this morning and had a great ride down to Dorset and back getting home at 16.00 Just roads today as I wanted to make sure the forks were ok after giving them an overhaul . The weather was decent which always helps and no real traffic as I was mainly on back roads . I passed by Bovington camp ........... Deserted Art Deco hotel at Osmington ............. Stopped at Weymouth for a cup of coffee ............. Then back to the roads less travelled .............

At least this Walking Scar is still 2-Wheelin'...

Good day out with some mates doing a Geand tour of Devon. Trip Stats. Other stuff

Sorted.. get another one in there if I cleared all the shit at end of it

Thanks! Should have loads of great ride reports once I get moved in. The new place has 5+ acres of land and a small shop out back - actually two shops in one. Smaller one to the right will be bikes only and the rest will be welding and woodshop stuff ....
