XTreme

Your flu finally gone @Clive? We're still quite nasally and occasionally I get a bit of phlegm in my throat which gets me coughing......but overall we're feeling a bit better. Still a way to go though!

Tym's been a close friend of mine for over 20 years......and probably the most loyal friend I've ever had. There's nothing two faced about him like some people.....he'll never do the dirty on you like so many others have. And to me that counts for a lot. Also, he's a man that literally gave up his own life to care for his elderly parents way before I knew him. And even though he's now in his mid 60's and not in good health he continues to be the sole carer for his 90 year old mother. His brothers have gone off and have had their lives and Tym has carried it all. I think that speaks volumes for the man that he is. How many of us could do the same? Of course, as Buck mentioned, he's always been a bit unstable.....I'm not denying that. God knows how many times I've had to calm him down over the years. But he's now no longer threatening to put guns in peoples' mouths, or riding across the US to shoot somebody as he used to do.....so he has mellowed somewhat. But be aware that underneath it all is a very decent guy! He's been with me on every forum that I've done, and had my back on every forum meltdown that's happened on the net. So not having Tym round has been very odd for me, and given the number of people who've asked about him, it probably is for you too. But he's his own man, and he makes his own decisions. Maybe he'll return at some point.......maybe he won't. I just don't know!

They've always been real ones......Marie (who's a friend of @Buckster) has always had the hots for him. Plus Gemma who was continually messaging me on FB when he wasn't posting there!

You'd think he'd have grown out of that by now!

He's taking a break for a while!

Wonder how long before they move your RE on?

And he got to meet the Rotties.....which traumatised him!

Everybody knows Pedro was here......it's no secret!

Twice.....in 2005 and 2006. This is him trying to get my XT to start!

He had a big mop of curly hair when I met him! Then he bought a GS!

How you doing with the CB @Saul?

Burner and the outlet pipes have been cleaned.....so we're good to go again.

Oh yeh.....they all tell a good story. Still, he got my sidestand puck and crashbars on the 650GS.....eventually. Came for a ride with me once and stayed well clear after that. @Skippy came with me once and he'll be back.......nothing I did gave him any concerns whatsoever. Cos he's a REAL rider......he's done his time and he's paid his dues! There you are Ray.....I said something nice about you.....you slippery Cockney fucker!

He wasn't a friend as such.....he moved to the area a couple of years ago and I used him to do airport runs a few times. He said he was handy with tools.....but he wasn't. As for interpreting....it wasn't him, can't remember who it was.

Engineer has been and it's working again! The problem is the quality of the wood pellets this year......they're blocking up the burners. So they're going to send one of the servicing guys round to clean the system through.

No.....he's a fucking knob! I need the proper engineer......he's coming today!

Haven't had my haircut for nearly 3 months cos of everything going on......so now I'm looking a bit bouffant! Ivan's not open today so I've got an appointment at Pedro's at 11.30.

Fucking Pellet Burner stopped working again......have to get the engineer to check it!

Kickstart or Mount Motors?

Is that a twig?

It's worse than Covid in our experience Ray. You end up coughing till you're heaving......and in my case I ended up injuring my back and stomach muscles. And the fucking virus doesn't want to go!

5 weeks Marcel.......many others here suffering the same!
