I showed this to Shadow, apparently she thinks it is a Granny Bike and she wouldn't been seen dead on it. Direct quote . I don't mind the look of it to be honest. I like the look of the new Morini 31/5, would be perfect for her but she isn't having a bar of it, also a Granny Bike according to her.

Oh I just had an email from Norton. That is hideous

Not sure she would agree with you. I wouldn't mind an Atlas GT when they come out though.

Congratulations Pedro.

Shadows bike had a post crash misfire. Probably nothing to do with the crash but after checking it out it seemed fuel related. I swapped out the fuel relay just in case before taking the thing apart and luckily for me and Shadow that cured the misfire. I took it for a 10 mile loop and it’s back to normal. Shadow in her new jacket. . She is still very sore but determined to get out and ride. Going a bit stir crazy I think.

Knowing Shadow she would probably be just as rude to you. She is 5'1" and 6 stone of angry woman.

This daft twat tried to sort his bike and cracked the engine casing. Arrangantly thinks he can do anything and ruined his bike. Sad waste of a tidy old Triumph Thunderbird.

Funnily enough her Godfather came around to see her in the week and he said that the vicar wanted to know if she was interested in joining the Bell Ringers now. Shadow was quite rude to him which was very entertaining.

oh I know I tried to her get to put some joggers on. But she tells me she is a strong independent woman and I can’t tell what to wear. Teenagers are such fun

Shadow is a very happy bunny

Thanks Scott much appreciated

Wow what a thing this is, never heard of it before

No problems my end.

You have made Shadow very happy Lyn,

Yes mate.

Not sure you will like it mate but she has got her heart set on a the new Kawasaki Ninja Z500 A2. One of my curmudgeon crew has one and she fell in love with it. . Mainly because it is small and light (164 kg) and they do a red and black one. I think a Honda CBR500R would be a better option for her but I do have a Honda thing, plus Dads know nothing.

Nah mate she is still keen. You should see her handle a twin engine 40 foot rib out in the bay. Proper petrol head. The Harbour Commission in town have already offered her a job on the Harbour patrol boat next year. She also has chosen her A2 bike for when she passes her test. She is also talking about the RNLI, now that would worry me, but would be very proud nonetheless.

The Bisons Nanven Beach.

It’s that time again, get your photos up for Octobers BOTM. Vote starts on the 28th October.

There are plenty of marks on it if you look closely

It is but the pictures do flatter it. The bike is no silk purse now, but is tidy and presentable and mechanically sound. I have to say the SW Motech crash bars have certainly played their part in protecting it and the exhaust has been beat to buggery as have all the plastics, a fresh coat of paint hides a lot. Shadow took it out yesterday and loved being back on two wheels although she came back after popping to her mates for an hour. Her shoulder is still sore, which is not a surprise. Her confidence is intact.

All fixed again.

It’s cosmetic with her, re the op, there is no guarantee it will work and she may still have the lump. If she doesn’t have the op though there is no chance the lump will go. I feel for her all this happened 3 days before her 19th birthday. She was wearing her new helmet, that we bought her, I have spent all day getting the superficial scratches off it and ordered her a new visor. Also she had her A2 test booked for November and has had to postpone it. The Dear Maid is not a happy bunny at the moment. . Should get her bike back together tomorrow for her so that is something.

Update for Shadow, as she had a trip to the fracture clinic yesterday. Needs to have an operation to sort her shoulder or live with the unsightly lump she now has. She has to go back in two weeks with her decision and they will take it from there. She knows my opinion, have it fixe,d but I am not going to badger her being a teenager she will kick back and not do what I say. She is pretty smart and will see its in her own interest to have it done but it has to be her idea so I will keep quiet.
