Itchy boots made a big mistake going to Swansea!

Had a play around with the pump today. Works really well, I set one of the memories for 36 psi and used it on the bike.

It stopped at 36.5 and when I checked with my manual very accurate dial gauge it showed 37psi so I am happy with that. I guess it allows 0.5 psi for when you remove the valve but it doesn't seem to lose anything when you unscrew it. 

A lot easier than messing around with a foot pump.

I have one that looks much the same. Great but not the quickest.

JPEG but it is set on high efficiency 

That’s the difference then.

Just sent this from my phone to test

 

What file format is it? 
 

I want the best quality so use RAW, although the default it JPEG. 

I'd have put more shots up but too much trouble changing the files to jpeg. RAW files from the phone aren't acceptable it seems!

Sorry that I haven't been overactive on here lately. Just realised that I haven't ridden the bike since November. Fed up with riding the same old routes around here, the dreadful traffic, and the weather has been shit.

Did a trip around Sweden and Norway in September but just haven't been motivated enough to write it up as a ride report. Some of you might have seen a few bits on FB. Only had my phone with me so all too easy.

I need to put about 500 miles or so on the bike before I get it serviced so might have a week or so away to get that done. 

Here are a few snaps of Sweden and Norway anyway.

First night in Sweden

Fingertip closeup. 

Great inspiring report as always. I've put the battery charger on the bike. 

Add on the weight of panniers, topbox, their contents, maybe a tent and bits and the extra weight won’t make any difference!

I thought John Pertwee was dead?

Who?

It looks as if BMW have beaten HD in the fuglyness competition. 
 

Got a very apt card from my daughter. We have a similar sense of toilet humour. 

Some hand made biscuits that are too good to eat!

Fucking weather has been shite today one minute i getting sunburnt and the next it's lashing down made my job today twice as long. I'm as far as i can go with the fence today 
Old temporary fence or whats left of it that's been there since 2018

 

New fence i'm worn out now and my feet are killing me from all the toing and froing 

 

I preferred the old one - more character! 
 

Replacement looks………. Pretty? Good for the wind though.

can you fit a DB killer in it or is there even one available for it

Ear plugs aren’t too bad. 

My apologies for the shite weather. It was ok until I got a bike.

It's the angle on the picture 

Bloody wide angle. Drive is too narrow.

That Akra probably cost more than the Transalp  

Already on it. Sounds great but a bit wearing after a while. 
March ‘23 with 3300 miles on it. 

Transalp sold. Didn’t gel with it. The novelty of reving the engine wore off. The seat was uncomfortable. Expensive mistake. A good bike but wasn’t for me.
 

I was bikeless for about twenty seven hours!

IF!  (Which I think is doubtful) this did happen,  I would do my upmost to travel to wherever in Wales that the scattering happens...  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As long as its not in North Wales ,   

More to North Wales than bloody Rhyl thankfully. Abergele, Prestatyn, Tywyn and Barmouth for a start. And let’s not forget the other colony in Abersoch.

Dinosaur ?...... that's me put in my place...  

Jeez....there can only be a couple of us vying for the most aged member now. 

 

That’d be Phil I think. 

Have just been chatting with Dawn and she said that Pete and Ogri will be up there setting the world to rights. 
 

Fred just gave me the dreadful news. I saw Pete’s posts on FB and like most thought that he was over the worst of it. 
 

All very sad.
