Fowey hits the national media. https://metro.co.uk/2023/03/08/church-marks-international-womens-day-by-voting-against-female-vicar-18406173/?fbclid=IwAR3juuDD_XxT5Yaw945Y--Mf-SR4EyxGoelZII7zUmrK2q9hVzhnJNZ45WY

A spelling mistake

To be honest when we were all on 250's the MZ was mostly a match for the 4 stroke jap stuff, XS250, GSX250 and Honda G5/Dream/Super Dream. Not close to jap two strokes though. I also had a mate with a C15, when he was mostly fixing rather than riding. Sounded good when it was going but that wasn't often.

I had a mate who had a Supa 5 with a Polaris fairing on it, I always thought is was as cool as. Several of my mates had Simpsons, when I was a sixteener you either got an R reg Moped (Fizzie or AP50) or new Simpson. It was amazing how much abuse those Simpsons took. MZ's are in the group of odd old shit that I like.

Oh I do like an ETZ, I would love an old MZ 250 Supa 5. Ring ting ting tough.

That was the thrust of what I was saying is if and when my E46 is no more I will try and find something older and simpler, I don't enjoy the way new cars are going in terms of owning one. Great to drive but way to complicated and expensive to fix, the modern Skodas I drive at work are great cars to drive but I wouldn't own one. The breakdowns we have had over their 5 years with us have been numerous and expensive, we have even had one of the 10 burn to the ground. We have got Kodiaqs coming in May, that's going to be interesting in service. Again lovely cars to drive but how they will cope with our service will be interesting which DCT's, button handbrakes and touch screen everything.

I don't see that, key based immobiliser is old tech that has been used for years. My E46 has a key, hand brake, normal clocks and manual gearbox. Just how I like it. I have read no end of horror stories about E46's, never had to spend anything on mine apart from tyres and servicing. It's 21 years old and I would trust it to go anywhere.

I'm not a fan of it, when my E46 dies I don't know what I will do, all this new tech, keyless, touchscreen, push button handbrake, DCT malarky just gets on my tits.

Yeah to make a living at it, around £30K a year at 100,000 or so I heard, but these things change, they have an adpocalypse every now and again which cuts the revenue but its not something I follow that closely.

True mate only saw a couple of them the whole time.

I don't think that chap is making much with just 10K subscribers, 100K maybe. I suppose from his point of view the better quality stuff he does the more chance he has of making a living at it eventually. Like anything in life you gotta work hard to be very successful. I like this guy, his videos are quite long and to some boring but I enjoy his choices and what he does, I like to dream I could do it, but in reality I may have the woodworking skills but nowhere near the mental discipline he has. But he has stuck at it and with 2,000,000K subs he is probably making a fair income from YouTube.

I can see what you say Bob , but it does look like Nathan was having fun in that video with his Benly. I would like to do one of his tours in the summer, perhaps with his Aussie post bikes, looks a blast.

I think the point is YouTubers gotta create content. Nice bike though. Perhaps he was trying out a his kit for a upcoming trip to see if he had missed something.

Dear Boy recharging his batteries in bed with my daughter. Looks like she will need clean bedding later he was quite muddy.

7 degrees C and drizzly

Finally got back out with the Dear Boy today, bit wet and gloopy but still the air is fresh. We managed a 4.3 mile loop. I do enjoy a bit of beach art, I think it is because whoever did it to the time to engage with their surroundings even if it was just in a transitory way. Prolly kids, but at least they aren't on a screen for the time it took to do it. The Dear Boy know his way home Priddy primroses. We walked back up the Parade to home. Over the shoulder look back a Readymoney.

Tis raining here, 8.5 degrees C so to warm. for snow.

Got the Quadlock on my bike. Quite impressed with it, expensive but well made. Still waiting for the damper but the lock itself holds the phone well. I am looking forward to using it.

Went out to wash my car today, the Mrs walks past and said you can do mine as well. Ok I say then she proceeds to get in my van and go to work with all my car cleaning kit in it, never mind I can do a morning on the puter as my punishment

Bit like a vampire in reverse

What did he do?

I am pretty sure she is just busy.

Fuck me, wild boar, that would ruin your day. We got some suicidal sheep and deer but no wild boar.

I was thinking that. what happened this weekend ? Have you ridden your Honda in the dark yet? I took mine to work Friday night, bloody impressed with the headlight.
