I had to take my cat Zippy to see the vet a week last Friday. He had a poorly eye, got a horn in it a year or so ago was treated but was never right. A couple of months ago it sudenly got bad weaping gunk all the time, i had to clean it 4 or 5 times a day. in the mornings it was stuck together and the poor little fella had to put up we me washing and pocking around with Q-tips to get his eye open..Never a spit or swipe. Vet said bring him in, so i did and left him till the phone call_______5pm, come and get him...Poor sod had his eye removed..Was not the thorn but a tooth that did it. Root had gone bad and when he had bitten on some thing hard it had pushed the tooth up and through the roof of his mouth and into his eye..Poor little fella... Anyway he is doing ok now thou my bank account is not

My local Honda dealer has a couple of them, they are thrashing the blollcks off them to see how they do, so far Dad and sun have been around the Euro mountains for three weeks, returned home and given them to mates to go and thrash them..5k miles and no problems. Thrashed by 6 different peeps for 6 months.. Holding up well.. Mind it helps as welas Honda they do KMT,s as well.. mind this is two bikes, the Raly and the more road-ish bike. Both doing well.

Thanks , will get some to test drive.

18c here from 12 o clock on until 1900hrs Very not like Welsh weather, did lots doing the new shed base ready for the woodwork guy to come tomorrow. No idea why Tony wants to pay somebody to do the rest. All the hard work we have done I think he ( the woodwork guy ) is a family guy short of work. Tony did a repair on his work van two weeks ago that if not done would have failed the MOT. at no cost.. So he (Tony ) is Human after all.

Trying to order a new pair of jets for my old C70z2 carb..the crap has set hard in them, not a chance nolonger available i am told. So i took a number 13 numbered drill to them..Clear now. we will wait to see how it runs

That means it WAS a great WEEKEND

Ditto the good idea..

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.

Donation box looks like a Smash pilot of days gone by.

If that was in the UK the whole country would be at a standstill

I do hope stuff gets a little easier now Clive 2 mates came around today to see me and dragged me out to Billy Jeans Caffe for a biker brekky///still not able to move. I should be OK tomorrow Not to bad here today it's been 5C.. Mate had a new motor, Ford Kuga 2.5lt Hybrid..very nice machine and goes well too. does about 48miles on the battery. Loads of dosh thou. ST model about 38grand. Different world init mate. Me still on my 15grand Suzuki Ignis 4x4 Hybrid..:>)

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.

should have removed the bone or cooked it it less.

Great that one, i first saw it in Funchal on a smart carr...But the driver was a young girl: a very fit young Girl i may add. Was a good laugh thou.

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.

Pedro, Hydrorlic ram type puller is two way and can pull as well as push. So can push a bearing on or pull a crankcase off, But needs a frame to do the pulling. I have to limit the work i now do as i have Arthur-rite-us in my hands and fingers. So it is what i WANT to do..don't get old.

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..

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.

That's it..think it will be my 4th.. great if you have foot change problems.

Same here, car, MOT plus service plus road tax..bike also needed to be insured..mega month this one..Ow! and heating oil last month too!

Same here 1c all day, said snow on the forcast but we got rain..could still snow overnight thou.

Got a gammy left leg from the big C.. so auto is king for me...Had alsorts before 1999 then not able to change gear:..I now have a Honda ( spit ) XADV750 se. no idea how to do pics but i have the white and blue model, number 24 of 50...got some pics on the phone...it's an age thing.

Same here, hadf my new toy 2 weeks before Chrissy. Not been out of the shed yet...

They also screw the Brits if you buy new bike gear. you see all the skips full of old biker kit Price for the locals is 30% of what they charge the Brits...Barstuards...

https://www.china-parts.co.uk/ I used i used these peeps when i used to fix the school lads bikes for them..scoots and bikes. Lots of carbs BLR'ed and coils some switch gear and ecu's...main faults..Engines seem ok, like all small motors they need oil cahnges at about 800miles cycles..Only ones i had that would have costalot were some of the scooters...Bin them chassis on some rot.
