Specs

Went up to North Wales on the bike on Monday and came back yesterday. It rained.

That's two older than me then. Four of us went out for a drink last week and I was the youngest! Unusual.

This came up on YouTube this morning. Interesting and better than housework.

Who was that guy I spoke to at the Moon Rally? Your grandfather?

Probably true!

I thought exactly the same.

Something told me that you might say that!

Toilet for swimmers.

How awful! I've just had a most severe attack of deja vu!!

I thought that Cornwall, much like a great deal of rural Wales, is overrun with Ingurlisch retirees? Not many of us true Celts left these days.

Like you say. Don't use it on the ship!

Shit. Couldn’t find it on YouTube.

Not live, only highlights.

Been watching the TT live on TV via my phone. Best £20 spent in quite a while. https://ttplus.iomttraces.com/browse

I met her briefly at the Overland Event in September 21 where she did her, I think, first presentation. She was sensational and had everyone entranced.

I could be mistaken. It seems that they have a new brewery down in Cardiff Bay. The company sold off most of the pubs and closed the old brewer during lockdown. At the time of the sell off there was talk of shifting brewing elsewhere.

Brains no more. Brewed in Ingurlund!

I sat one one the other day but it felt too small for me. It's still on my list of maybes though.

Not so far off the mark! Used to nick my father’s C50 to go down to the pub with my mate on the back. We were fifteen and eventually got caught and made an appearance in juvenile court. I had endorsements before I even had a licence!

Too true. Riding home just felt that everything was off with the bike. Noisy engine, some other noise that turned out to be my visor, bike wandering, and on and on. A simple case of paranoia I imagine but at least it makes me feel better about a change!

UPDATE Picking bike up this morning. Apparently fault on throttle assembly- two historical ones, not current. Also fault on exhaust flap valve, three Exup type thing, and a couple of slightly corroded connections that they cleaned up. Said if it happens again they’d need to change the throttle assembly. Doesn’t exactly fill me with confidence. My brother is going to run me down to collect it in the next hour or so.

Strangely enough I've been watching his trip and thought that for someone who is supposedly reasonably well travelled it was a bit odd that he wasn't switched on to the cash thing. I still have my Euros that I didn't have to change as I didn't get there!

I quite like the dark colours. No matt black option though.

LATEST!!! Apparently the bike has been fixed. The guy I spoke with had no idea what the techies have done and that he'd find out and let me know. Perhaps I'll never find out. Told him I wanted the bike returned here as covered by the extended warranty breakdown cover. It'll probably be another week as he said a different department deals with that. I'm out on the lash tomorrow afternoon, so I told him tomorrow morning or Thursday would have to do. I'm not holding my breath about anything M & P related here.
