I may have a go when it's dry but Shadow is so chuffed to have her freedom back she isn't obsessing about it quite so much. But that could change, she is a teenage female after all.

True and true, I voted for the KTM Pervert.
-
It's clever, be interesting to see the price. I would still have an Asgard if I had somewhere to put it. I think they are pretty well priced for what you get.
-
Yes she is chuffed. But going through typical teenage dramas so a bit distracted and sick so not really a ray of sunshine at the moment. One good thing she has kicked the boyfriend into touch. Didn't mind him to be honest, I didn't like the rides home from Luxulyan in the dark, dodgy road.

Well all fixed. Shadow is in bed with flu so no riding today. And yes Fred I refused to drill the new screen so I told Shadow she will have to live with the creases.

Well it is dildo colour, stunning bike but what a fucking colour
-
Congratulations for winning, You could get a plaque made for the bike. I didn't vote for you but glad the Dildo got some love.

Been fiddling with and swearing at expensive plastic all morning. Surprisingly fiddly and impressively strong when back together, given the impact I would have expected it all to be in 1000’s of pieces but it held up well considering. just about ready to put everything back on Shadows bike and now it’s pissing down FFS Also still have to fit the new footpegs and throttle grip I actually repainted the crash bars and exhaust yesterday as well as fitting the new number plate and touching in a few scratches. She is down with D&V so no pressure from her, thank goodness, at this moment. Still got to move her headset from the old helmet to her new one as well. Be glad when she is back on the road, she has not mentioned it more than once every half hour for the last 8 days. £750 wrapped in cardboard Repaired dash back on and working

I know he is an idiot but I think that is actually quite an interesting report from the motor show.
-
Yep its a twin. Excellent Skippy, I look forward to hearing how you get on with it.

Got myself another battery compressor. The little Bosch works great but struggles with car tyres. I have a decent 12v powered one but starting the car and messing about with a wire is a bit of a faff so I got one of these. Proving to be very good so far. Works really quickly and seems very well made.

No mate just a stash of cleaning stuff behind the back gate.

Been out for another Bimble today but with the Hornet this time with my new pillion. About 80 miles or so again. Went up to Chequered Flag but they don’t open on a Tuesday so we went on to Kit hill for a coffee then a blast back down the Liskeard by pass. Good to give the Hornet a run, first time for a month or so. Lovely this morning but could feel the temperature dropping as we came back. Chequered Flag Gotta stop looking at that GS1000G. Want it but can’t afford it Kitt Hill looking over the Tamar Valley

I am sure as long if all was good you would never see the other side of them. They do have a pretty bad rep down here though. I only know one story first had but have heard plenty over time. Glad it went well for you.
-
It’s a 2012, you can just see the plate . I wouldn’t be seen dead on the thing but I do like the paint, very cool IMHO.
-
I heard nothing but good stuff about them Skip. Nathanthepostman likes them and he knows his stuff when it comes to smaller dirt bikes.

Jumped at the chance of a bimble around North Cornwall today. Only about 80 miles but I was going stir crazy having not ridden for 5 days so it was just good to get out. First stop was at St Thomas just below Launceston Castle beside the River Kensey, a tributary to the Tamar. Didn’t quite make it across the border Fortified farm yard I then headed off to the North Coast and Bude to drop into North Cornwall Motorcycles. Ignorant as fuck in there as usual, 6th time I have been there in the last two years and no one has spoken to me yet. Not that worried as they have a terrible customer service reputation so I would never buy anything there. Still nice to have a look at their stock and it is entertaining that no one ever looks at or talks to you, I would be disappointed if they did now Nice Evel Knievel style Sporty, would never ride such a thing but 1970’s Cool Disney Princess edition Glide thing 9.5k VFR 1200, very nice and not expensive @ 3.6k 4 x 1200 GS’es. 3.6k to 4.2k not sure if that is expensive or not but they were all luggaged up with 40k plus on the clock. Shiny buttons Guerrilla looks nice in red and black. In the flesh it is a nice looking bike, not sure I would spunk £5k for a new one. Maybe in a couple of years time I would pick up a low miles used one. Prefer it to the small Triumph. NCM had some really nice looking interesting bikes in stock, but a lot of them have been there for a long time. Might be that I interested in old stuff but their inventory was mostly old bikes and new Enfield’s. Only modern ish bike I spotted was. 250 Strom.
