He goes to bed at 9pm every night, and gets up at 5am prompt.... spends 45 mins in the bathroom, then sits waiting for us to get up and make him a cup of tea, which must be Decaf, and comment that he had to wait a hour or so till we got up, and he only eats a German breakfast (cheese & ham) 

At 1pm he goes for a hours sleep every day, and complains if there are any noises.

 

Have you ever told him you don’t run a B&B?

It was at 1st, but he has habit of just inviting himself to stay with us.

I could go on about his other requirements when he did stop with us in previous years, let's just say that he is a trying guest.

Go on, dude. You know you want to!

Where does it say there you can keep up?

I never went that far west, but did like to travel through Dartmoor National Park, which to me looked quite like that. Nice!

Almost.....Gundolf.  

Last time he came he asked us to take him to a pub for food & drinks, guess who paid for it?

And he likes to brag how rich he is, he will be getting others pay for his food & drinks......

Iam hoping it pisses down while he is in the UK and he won't come here.  

Seems like you have a really strong friendship with him...

I have the new type with the magnetic mount built in as well.

Do you feel it’s as secure as the old twisting to lock ones?

Holly thread resurrection Batman!

Today my trusty quad lock phone cover fell apart. It's been used on the bike most times since 2020 or 2021, and full time in my pocket daily. Overall I'm still pretty happy with it all, am just pondering if I'll order another one or if my phone's getting replaced too.

Do you have any alignment tools or is it done by sight?

There's an orange Jeans model that always get my attention as I go passed

What does this mean? 
 

Get well, @boboneleg!

Picture of the odometer I took at my mechanic's place a while ago. Also a 750, he rebuilt it at 200000 and it was still going strong. The guy gave it away at 750 I think 

I did look properly used, as it had been to India and such places, but not 600.000km used.

Looks nice and quiet. In major hospitals here they ask you if you prefer to die there or at home 

I’m currently liking Harleys, at least to look at.

Some days you just don’t feel like getting the phone out to take pictures.

Picked up my CBF from the valve check last night.   Talking to the chap in detail and he reckoned all but one of the valves were spot on in spec.   I asked if he thought they had been checked recently and he wasn’t sure if the valve cover had ever been off .      I said is that unusual and he said it’s Japanese and that he thought this era lower tuned Honda 600 fours were just that well built.   Also that if looked after they will run to 100k or more.  Don’t know if I  will put another 64k on the bike but reassuring to hear.  Looks like I was paranoid about the valve clearances after all but at least I know now.  
 

 

 

My bike went to 120000km without the valves changing. It's quite common nowadays.

They were cleaned and had the seats replaced before needing adjustment
