Beautiful R90s

Quite enjoying his latest adventure. Do get the feeling he is flying by the seat of his pants though.

Because my daughter is adopted there is funding available from the original adoption agency once we have a exhausted all routes with local agencies. Currently doing a bullshit online zoom parenting course as part of that process. Plenty of scope for a rant but this is not the place.

Going through something very similar with my 15 year old daughter. Not real help on the horizon in any sort of acceptable timeframe. Stuff is happening but it will be years before she gets the answers she is looking for.

I don’t know mate if it was it came in the early 1990’s. Were US imports a thing back then? Of course you noticed the rusty nut

Well got to see my mates new to him bike today. I have got to say I am quite impressed. It needs some love but he has fixed the oil leak and it sounds as sweet as a nut. Just needs some cosmetic fettling and it is ready to go. He has also got the ad the seller bought the bike from in 1998 from Damerells. It came with a box full of spares as well.

I keep my records on an app called CarIQ on my phone obviously. Got different screens for fuel, servicing and other expenses. I quite like the app it feeds my inner geek.

Got an interview at 11:00am. Fingers and everything else crossed.

Yeah I agree but he won’t. He will stand off and get caught. Don’t want to see it but unless he gets a lot of confidence before the fight I reckon that is the way it will go.

Of course it would, but nostalgia is strong. I know my CB is probably the best bike package I have had but doesn’t stop me hankering after a big old Beamer or smoker. Not going there but fond memories.

It’ll be all over as soon as Wilder lands a right hand. Sad really, don’t want to see that happen to Joshua. He needs to stop.

Yeah that cam chains and transfer cases. I liked the XS1-B. 1973 I think. But if I was going to buy something from that era probably be a big 2 stroke. Maybe a T500 or the like. All dream land I have no intention of going down that black hole.

Yes it is. We are going to Bude bike night tomorrow and he is actually going to ride his Indian Scout. I have never seen the thing move and I have known him years.

I went with my mate today as he is after another bike. Specifically a Yamaha XS 650 US Custom. First one we looked at was dog rough and pissing oil, for £2.5k. Not the right one. The second one was a much better prospect only 16,000 miles really tidy original Damerells bike owned by a retired Damerells mechanic. That was spot on but £4k. If it was my money that would have been the one but my mate was undecided. The same chap also had a XS1100 with 300 miles on it. An XS750, an XS1-B and a 1981 DT175. All immaculate and for sale from his own collection. Wish I could have got some photos to show but the chap wasn’t keen to have them shared around so I respected his wishes. Anyway after that we headed to Damerells for a cuppa and sandwich. I got chatting to a chap who has just ordered a new Yellow Hornet today for August delivery. Anyway Damerells was low on stock but it is silly season. The line of sold bikes was long. Saw a nice Harris Yamaha outside Damerells, believe it had a R1 motor but not entirely sure. I have also come to the conclusion that Damerells is a sort of day care centre for silly old fuckers with too much time on their hands And before anyone says I do resemble that remark and my mate is 8 years my senior

I know it's real but nobody cares though, apart from royalists who can swear if they want. Certainly not headline material to my mind, just the gutter press sewing division between those that will and the those that "Hate Britain" and won't as always. I think they are evil and manipulative in the games they play. Rant over

Yeah but you don't want to be believing in that rag. They were trying to peddle the idea that Russia was planning to invade Britain last week.

My Honda is not a bummer

Yep and battery out the smoke alarm

Happy Birthday Pete. 69 I do hope I live that long

Worky worky this weekend. Got Monday off Actually sitting outside a house in Bude as I write this. GP is in doing her magic.

I no medic I just work with them, but my understanding is that we do have a level of protection from the vaccines and having had Covid in the past. Really you need Slowleys expertise for a proper answer. I wouldn’t worry to much just carry on being careful, as we have been over the last 3 years.
