Bugger I forgot about Millie, I love his stuff, the man is a genius

Not yet, I was given a spring by a mate (1.5mm buy 145mm) and I got the stand on again last Friday and tried it but it was too weak to hold the stand up. Gonna order a spring the slightly bigger but made with thicker wire. I have found a place that stocks all sorts of springs for industrial applications so I should be able to order exactly what I need. Honda dealer would only supply the main stand kit completely for £190, lot of money for just a spring. On my mates bike the spring in its shortest position on the bike with the stand up was 185mm and made of 3mm wire. Now I am guesstimating that if I order a stainless steel spring 30mm shorter I should be in the ballpark. But I will have to go back to the website and check the parameters needed to order one. The steel spring that came with the stand was 145mm x 3mm but there was just next to no give in it, short of using a trolley jack I couldn't stretch it in any way, and that was bloody sketchy.

That is how I think about it and probably why I bought a Honda. I wanted an Interceptor or Bonnie type of bike but knew I would be forever messing with it, I just want to ride now.

I watch Missenden Flyer, I found the tale of his Custom Interceptor quite amusing in a cruel way, fool and his money. Haven't seen MotoBob or RocketMan yet, will have a look. Darcy and the Old Man are ok, I find the Old Man a bit up himself but will watch it.

I watch several, reviews and travelogues. I like: Itchy Boots Revzilla Mark Pulling Mustie1 Freddie Dobbs Rest Day Rider Bikers and Beards I have dipped in and out of several others. I do also watch a lot of car channels and some engineering and woodworking ones. My Current Favourites are: Diesel Creak Tyrrell's Classic Workshop AvE Harry's Garage Vice Grip Garage Watch Wes Work. Sarah N Tuned Abom79 Hydraulic Press Channel. Salvage Rebuilds UK My Self Reliance Only Channel that annoyed me was: Saffy Sprocket.

I don't know if I lost my biking mojo but I was 9 years without a bike through life events (3 Kids) that left money tight for awhile. Sort of age creeping up on me made me go back to biking as I thought if I don't do it now I never will.

Or mudguards which they need judging by the amount of shit she has up her back.

I like the Goldwing

Apparently it's a 10 year old Cob called Blackberry, that's all I know. I never go near the bloody things, does not stop them sending me photos to worry about though Tis a daughter mother thing

She has been bleddy well been at it again. Oh and for my blood pressure I have to stop fussing as she only fell off twice. Or so she tells me. FFS. And this is the one that wants a bike. Laughed at the boy today, he went to the pictures with his mates and rode home in the rain and dark He comes in ranting “What the actual fuck, how are you supposed to see” I explained to slow down and try and look away when you’re being dazzled. He thought I was a dick for laughing and saying that rain and dark are part of biking and you just have to deal with it.

I was looking at his head in the pictures and thought he had some Staffie in him, but didn't want to say so in case he was some rare breed that I hadn't encountered before. Very handsome dog just the same.

That is a stunning piece, haven't just sat and listened to it for years. I know what I am going to be listening to on my shift tonight

Costa is a lovely looking dog, is he a specific breed or just a happy mix.

Sometimes it's better not to know. I would never stop her but it gives me the yips

Slick Legging I reckon

When I sat on one it reminded me of my old R65 in terms of size and weight. I think bikes are just mostly physically bigger now as has been said already.

Singing up the Crown Inn Lanlivery tonight, then working from 23:00. Watching the 6 nations and working for the rest of the weekend. Cold and gonna piss down here so I doubt I will be commuting on the bike.

Plenty I would imagine, it's in the centre of town so I doubt you would go unnoticed.

Who says I want anything.

It does but it maybe a Rogue Chase or Shoei Glamster, I like the Bell Bullit personally.

Yep!

The whole thing is the brainchild of our local Church Warden and a Parochichial Councillor who is the a Consultant at the only A&E in Cornwall, a local County Councillor, choirmaster, you name it he does it, anything for self promotion. Also has political ambitions to be an MP and is a grade A arsewipe. We had a brilliant Vicar until he was driven out several years ago, now the church is empty and run by Gargoyles. I not that religious but do recognise that our church was the centre of the community, not so now. It's all very sad really.

Imagine having this in the early 70's, coolest kid ever. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134480597300?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D777008%26algo%3DPERSONAL.TOPIC%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20220705100511%26meid%3D801706bdf84c4c54a03b6cfabd4fdb10%26pid%3D101524%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26itm%3D134480597300%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2380057%26algv%3DRecentlyViewedItemsV2&_trkparms=pageci:9d30fb51-be1f-11ed-acf1-ae6a84875495|parentrq:c422a7381860a0d2d1dd49ecfffffcb8|iid:1&_trksid=p2380057.c101524.m146925&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&siteid=3&campid=5337705843&toolid=20008&mkevt=1&ul_ref=https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1&fbclid=IwAR3F8W8mZ0b8Yy7BFJkS__gdZNizRYFH6KrZLxYGfivfgk2sCuLCo1pC-YI
