It's time to vote. Sorry no @Pedro this month. Here are the candidates in no particular order. The Poll will close 23:59 31/3/2026 Aprils BOTM with go up on the 21st and the poll will start on the 27th. @Buckster Harley Davidson FLHX Street Glide, nearly in shot Wet Dream @busabeast Suzuki Hayabusa Gen 2, at the Pod coming out of the sun. @boboneleg Yamaha 250 WR?, high up in the Land of Castles and Sheep. @Saul Triumph Sprint 900 below the Sky Tip at Carludden.

It's that obvious isn't it I was talking to my mates about all the bits I am having to do to the Triumph. The feedback I got was get used to it, integral part of owning an old Triumph. Don't mind at all really, I find it interesting keeps me busy and playing bikes.

Shakedown of the Sprint continues. Got to the bottom of what I thought was a miss fire. Turns out it was a failing vacuum fuel tap. If I can get the bits should be a relatively easy fix. Also bike riding and running beautifully, real pleasure to ride. Got back today only to find I have blown a fork seal. So some good some pain in the arse. Looks like I will be stripping down the front end in the near future. Love the bike though, can see this is going to be a keeper. Bugger Love the look of it

Looks like you have found your rugby replacement.

It's the Sky Tip at Carludden. It's a sand burras a relic of the Clay industry.

It's that time of the month again. Time to get your pictures up.

I know he his a fanny but been leant both these bikes Bimota 1000 and Triumph 1200 for two weeks. Seems to be winning at life to me.

Weather is stunning off out with the lads today. Was going to take the Sprint but the Hornet won the popularity contest.

Yep I have been going there since I started riding. It’s never changed. They are a cash only operation and I love that . £30 for MoT’s. It used to be a Suzuki main dealer back in the day.

Out and about on both the Sprint and my CBF this morning. I went out on the Triumph first to book an MoT as it runs out next week. The garage I normally use it 3 miles away I got back home on the Triumph after a lovely little bimble but completely forgot to book the MoT So went back on the CBF to give it a run to actually book the MoT Still got a little distracted It was certainly a contrast riding the bikes back to back. The CBF felt like a toy after the Triumph, so easy to use and friendly, all revvie and light controls. The Triumph on the other hand is all big hairy chested drama next to the Honda . Really enjoy both to be honest

Paint I used for the Honda Forks. Also the Satin black I used on the Triumph.

I’ll put a couple of photos up later. Out and about at the moment

I didn't they were already blacked out.

Out for a shake down run on the Sprint this morning. Behaved very well after all my messing around with it. New heavy duty clutch springs don’t feel to bad in Use. You can feel the extra effort but not bad. Absolute joy to ride so far, no mistaking you are piloting a big heavy beast of a bike but enjoying the contrast to my Hondas.

Beautiful Car Pedro.

OMG what a useless individual he is. Has to be seen to be believed.

Not much biking for me, family meal on Saturday. Singing in our first gig of the year on Sunday. Currently getting the music books sorted for the new set lists. Bloody hate admin, hopefully not much will change until after going on tour to Wales.

All joking aside I do like the look of the Leoncino 500 Trail that Beneli do, little 360 degree crank 500 twin in a trail frame. Potential to be a fun bit of kit for local stuff where I live. Seen really nice low mileage ones for around £2K in the UK. Lot of fun for that sort of money.

Thinking about it I may have to sell Shadows bike at some point, mind you if I do I might just trade it in against something bigger, but I don't have to deal with that until October when her insurance runs out.

I hate selling vehicles because of the messers. I don't sell much at all to be honest I tend to run my cars until they die. Last two cars I got rid of, one went to auction, the other my van that eat it's gearbox went to a mechanic mate who fixed it for his wife's cleaning business. Backalong I sold a good Honda CRV to a chancer who tried to extort money from me because of so called problems with the car that I supposedly didn't declare. Absolute bollocks, he even tried to threaten me. I just told him where to go but it's hassle you don't need. Also I sold my Chinky 125 to another goon who brought it back because it wasn't running right, because he didn't know how to turn the choke off, I reached under and did just that and it ran perfectly. Absolute bell end. I just can't be arsed with dealing with them anymore. I think it's my age I just can't be aresed with the F'wits anymore. Luckily my spotless 24 year old BMW 3 series has still only done 94,000 and is running and driving exactly as it should. If I get rid of it, prolly take it to the auction, isn't worth anything anyway.

Yeah as long as you got what you wanted with minimum hassle it strikes me as a win Mate

Congratulations @Skippy Great Photo.

Only out for a couple of hours and 55 miles but had to take advantage of the weather. Pretty skies.

I have updated the picture but can’t change the Poll. Doesn’t seem to be holding you back any
