Today I have mostly been painting my eldest daughters bedroom. I fucking hate painting, so in a grumpy stop at the moment. They have all left me well alone. Going up my mates after dinner to measure a couple of things on his CB500F, with a view to farkling mine a little. Then more painting

Pleased to hear a positive outcome. Any pictures of you in a Nurse outfit then?

I have always been a bit snobby about Hondas but I have changed my mind to a degree. I like the aircooled CB1100 or a CRF250. If I am honest what I have really suits what I want a bike for. I quite like the Yam XSR's or the new Honda 750 Hornet but I won't change what I have or buy a second bike, too much else to do with my time. And I still look longingly at RE and BSA 650's, plus aircooled BMW's Each to their own it's just what I like.

Don't drag me into your squabbles Pete I do like my bike though, so no I haven't fallen asleep

I love this. Back in the day when I used to do a little of that, one of my mates couldn't afford a dirt bike and went everywhere with us on his Yamaha RXS100 with an old knobbly on it. This video reminded of that, in fact I had almost forgotten about it.

Glad I didn't pay for it. I saw the Badou Jack fight live but we had a an Urgent Call so had to work during the main event so I watched it this morning. The commentary was bloody awful..

No way they are getting £19.95 out of me, if I wanted that sort of thing I could watch re runs of Strictly

This supposed to be the script for the fight, sounds like complete bullshit but be interesting to look at it after the fight.

Don't forget the old favourite of Rip Off Britain.

I think mine were £16 but that was in the order with the screen and main stand.

I am pretty sure they are the same ones Pete.

Got my hand guards on Had a visit from the shite hawks. But why my car? Haven’t got any other vehicles just my car. Horrible feathery bastards.

Enjoying the rugby with the Dear Boy.

i traded it in for the Honda.

I don't care much about the Fury's but I would love for someone to deck that idiot Paul.

Working overnight tonight, singings across the river in Pollyrooster (Polruan) tomorrow and working again Sunday Night.

Me too.

As I understand it started with the school issuing red cards for the girls to use for toilet breaks when they are on their period. Which sounds pretty insensitive at best but this was on the Snap chat jungle drums. Not my girls school but a local one.

My daughter just pointed this out to me. Apparently there are 3 schools with pupils rioting at the moment. Thank goodness Little Bits is home safe with me. https://www.cornwalllive.com/news/cornwall-news/penrice-academy-riot-girl-injured-8185464

Went to see my boss today. Changed my shift pattern. Only doing one overnight shift a week now picked up some day and evening shifts instead. Got talked around a bit as I wanted to give up nights completely but he ho happy with my new shift pattern.

You are right it is a chinky copy, so I sort of asked for some issues. I notice the stand on SW Motech has two lighter weight springs on it. I see how I get on with the new spring I ordered as the stand fits well and works its just that fecking spring that came with it is to short.

Yes I have checked, I am convinced it is the wrong spring. I have ordered a longer one so all should be good when that gets here.

I did try that mate, the stand has a long pivot that goes through a tube on the frame then you bolt the pivot in. It difficult enough to get the pivot through on its own there is no chance when under tension. The spring is just to short or has to much tension, I tried the coin trick and that only got me within 20 to 25mm. I am pretty strong and I just can't get it on, even used my best profane words and it just won't go. I am going to buy another spring.

I have mate from every angle with ever screwdriver and lever I own. I have come to the conclusion the spring is just too short. I have a mate with the same bike with a main stand so I am going to have a look at his. May just order a Honda spring.
