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!

You laughing at the last sentence, aren’t you Pete?

As you say, tuck in! Northern Portuguese cut of beef.

Chorizo entree:

Another flip and it was perfect, but Costa was in a frenzy while it was being sliced, all hell broke loose. Luckily we kept our cool and a good meal was had, except my dad almost chocking to death on an apple slice. Fucking apples!

Half drunk now, but half sober.

Yes, it was a good movie. And, yes, great songs! I was surprised that Candle In The Wind wasn't in the soundtrack. 

That’s just because you’re a brit. 

Busy day, work meetings but very close to home, two hours of that was friendly talk. Amongst that was a vidit to the mechanics to check on Sofia’s Passat, then late afternoon a stop by a shop to buy a new helmet. Then home to have a great dinner with my brother and parents. 
 

overall, except for the heat it was a good day. Didn’t have to speak Spanish except in one single conversation.

Good movie, sad stuff but with great songs.

All it needs is some anodized blue levers and shiny bar ends, oh, wait, it’s ready to roll! 

You see a few guys in full leathers here, usually the 300kmh motorway racers are either in full leathers or jeans with the knees cut out

Maybe someone should monitor Pete's obvious closet Exhibitionism? 

Closet? We wish!

It could be easier or it could send him skyward if he yanks the throttle too hard ..................

 

It would be the lack of engine breaking that would make hesitate in getting one over a 4 stroke. On today’s bike you can get the engine to be as tame as you want.

I see someone reminded to take an horizontal picture

lets start with the shaft drive oil, my Toyota went from 2008, 200k, until a few months ago without a differential and transfer case oil change. no issues that's 16 years of running the car almost daily.

I would keep to the BMW service intervals, as a maximum, oil is cheaper than metal. Change it when you get it back on the road.

Or check your Toyota’s service manual to see what should be done on your motorcycle, if that makes sense. It doesn’t to me.

If it’s been untouched since 2019, all that could go wrong has already happened. Worry about it when you get it going, or you’ll just end up doing the same thing twice. Doing stuff to it now, without a few proper runs to eliminate humidity before storing it again will hurt more than do good.

Oil does get acidic from contact with combustion and fuel residues, humidity and time, hence it’s usually advised to change the oil yearly if you care about the engine and it gets little use. If the 10 or 15 Euros it costs to buy some cheap oil to put in it while not running is too much of an expense just let it be and do it when getting it to go again.

It’ll feel shit on the road, though, like all dirtbikes do when ridden out of their environment.
