I've never seen the likes of this before, as the Japs (mainly Honda and Yamaha) have been dominant for 50 years. I think that with Yamaha losing Rossi and Lorenzo, and with Honda losing Marquez and Pedrosa, they not only lost elite racers, but top notch development riders as well.

@Six30

I think he sees me as someone within the upper echelons of motorcycling, and probably aspires to be at that level when he gets to my age. It's understandable really!

So the original jabs gave me all that? Was the Hernia included as well?

Yes......I've noticed it for quite some time. The thing is, his attention-seeking posts contribute nothing of any relevance to the forum whatsoever. He just seems to need my attention for some reason. Are his bedroom walls adorned with pictures of me as well?

No.....I originally posted before that nothing happens when you turn the key! I couldn't hear a starter motor click when I was in the car, but outside the car I could hear it when the mechanic tried.

Mic is disabled on the cam cos of wind noise!

I thought things had been too quiet.....apparently Eris is now circulating. Waning vaccine resistance appears to be causing this as most people had their fourth vaccine last year. Luckily our last one was only two months ago......as we delayed ours due to having Covid, then Long Covid, and then that fucking flu! How long since your last jab?

I'm surprised it was a Toyota.....those things used to be the most reliable cars on the road!

Car's back with new Starter Motor!

Just part ex and be done with it!

That's high impact stuff!

Good to see you Bob! In your absence @Six30 bought a Triumph, then got rid of it a few days later for a Beemer! Checked out the Transalp yet?

Yeh......walking gives me grief! I've been like this since my late 30's!

What's happening with you @Clive?

Strange today with all the car stuff going on! Here's a clip going over to the animals this morning......and I had to call into the garage to tell them about the car. Burnt off a Gypsy on a moped on the way. Ran into Manolo the Goat Man outside! Lovely old boy.......nearly 80 and walks miles every day with his goats. He speaks a dialect of Spanish that is unique to him. We're used to it now, but stick someone who's learned formal Spanish in University in front of him and they wouldn't have a fucking clue what he's going on about! Then I had to see Antonio the mechanic in his office! For those of you not familiar with dealing with the Spanish, you'll notice their hands going all the time and the body gestures that go along with it. They all do it! I think Italians are the same @boboneleg? Get a bunch of them together and it's like you're surrounded by people doing sign language!

He don't want any part of Beterbiev or Bivol.......who are in his weight class! Beterbiev would probably hospitalise the twat!

Enter the Grua!

Antonio's been......and it's not the battery, it's the starter motor! Rang recovery (included in insurance), and Angel with the Grua is on the way! He knows the house well after all the fiasco with the GS!

Car didn't start again, so it was more of this! Now waiting for Antonio the mechanic to turn up with a battery!

Why didn't the Doctor sort it out?

Wow! That's impressive!

Wow! That's an amazing memorial to their pets!

And now the fucking thing has decided not to start again!

Jap cars are always our preference.......but you just don't find that many cars here! It's overwhelmingly French.
