I think the CB1000R is a very understated bike in standard trim, I think the paint job on this one brings it to life.  Not convinced about the golden wheels but I think the Honda Briton style paint is lovely.    The owner said that it is a custom copy of a race bike, I wouldn't know.  He also told be he had special boots so that he could ride it.  50mm or 2" lift built in cost him £400 apparently.    Also that the bike cost him £15k they are normally around £12K, I have no idea how much custom paint costs but I suppose £15k sounds ballpark.    I also think that his plate is a ticket waiting to happen.  

Agreed, it’s a cool bike!

Did you let him know that the Honda sticker on his helmet makes him look like a twat?

Friends don’t let friends look like twats!

Just convinced a chap I’m a bull shitter .  Popped out to get some bits, took the CB125 as it was easier than moving it and getting the Hornet out.     Anyway got what I wanted and ended up chatting to this guy who had a CB1000R with custom paint.    Anyway the conversation moved on and he asked me what I had.  Told him I had a Hornet, as he was getting ready to go I went over to Bambi, Daughters name for the CB125, to leave and he gave me the bull shitting wanker side eye .   
 

I don’t like the gold wheels or the paint, but that is a cool bike. Had never noticed the one sided swing arm.

The black is the skins which were face down into the coal, aren’t mandatory eating if you’re a delicate southern flower. If you’re a man and respect the ocean and where your food comes from you’ll find it’s the best part.

Magic happened. 
 

It’s coal roasted codfish, which when done get their bones pulled and into the pot with olive oil and garlic they go. Put the clay pot on the heat and leave to bubble away until it smells like magic, and serve with boiled potatoes and the optional raw onion slices. I love it, might be my favourite typical Portuguese thing. It’s hot, so having a nice glass of cold wine is mandatory.

So delicious that even my dad who nowadays doesn’t like food much finished his plate.

 Othing wrong with moss, it’s better than grass, doesn’t shelter ticks and doesn’t need cutting down. It’s nature!

Put a couple of logs on the ground to feed bugs and a few bird houses on stakes, and it’s a natural garden on purpose.

Magic is happening as I post this

Were the horses in China? Were they connected to The Man? Were the horses Israeli?

I bet there’s something to this, horses are killing off people that refuse vaccination!!!

I have the feeling I have been stitched up by my daughter again.  

 

When I bought my Transalp, a long time ago. My dealership had some issues with some of the 125cc coming from Italy. Usually missing stickers, but this one time a bike wouldn’t start before the client came to pick it up. Engine was spinning like mad though.

Bike simply came fully assembled but no piston and connecting rod

More people have probably died from falling off horses. 

Yes, but were they vaccinated? Were the horses?

So it’s not the Boris Johnson, but a boris johnson.

I don't think @Pedro will be happy with the Spanish bit!

Lets see the latest NHS data, over the past two years, excess deaths in England have soared, particularly among the "fully vaccinated" for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19).

New government data shows that one million fully jabbed people in England have died since the start of 2022, this compared to just 61,000 unvaccinated people in England.

Seems to be working.

Can that be related to most of the population having been vaccinated? If 100% of people are vaccinated, then the stat would have no deaths amongst non vaccinated people, no?

Does the rear of that XT identify as an R6?

Bloody hot here. It only bothers me emotionally, as I'm not used to not seeing in the garage, that my bike is 300km away as I wouldn't want to go on a ride around here today. I hate the sort of weekend traffic we get here up north, plus as the first proper warm weekend all the bikes are out and in a frenzy.

Will go out to lunch with little brother and a friend, do a little bit of work now before that, then it'll be a lazy weekend. 

Also, BOTM submission!

Very true! To be honest I had no business being there at all - I came last every single time, and one of them weighed about 130 kg! 

130kg, you should have been the menace on track, not them!

I knew it would be a Triumph triple! Knew it wasn’t the Transalp because you’re still English and away from home, but thought you were chicken and went for the little engine, glad you didn’t!

What’s with it having to be be good for a pillion, though, getting rid of the wife’s bike?

It was a good song, even before a certain ex-royal had her "accident"!

See? You’re taking the brit approach to it. Great song, but the film isn’t about Lady Di.

No, the consultant said it was unusual as well. I was 'performance go-karting' with some friends, and the 17-year old son of one of them (who'd only just passed his driving test) ploughed into me at full speed whilst I was stationary - straight into my right hip. The pain was absolutely excruciating for about five minutes, but after that I was fine. Then a couple of days later I was giving a presentation at a conference and spent the whole hour standing with my hand in my pocket to hold in the bit of intestine that was poking out! When I saw the surgeon after the op he said he'd had to use two pieces of mesh to close the hole because it was a pretty large tear.

I hope yours is all OK, because mine occasionally gives me a bit of discomfort. It's nothing major, but I can definitely feel the mesh in there sometimes.

 

 

Old man wankstain had no business being on a go kart track next to Lewis Hamilton!
