Saul

 Don’t buy a Loobman, bloody thing just spilt it’s guts over the rear tyre.    No warning the valve in the oil reservoir failed and let all the oil out.

What can you conclude when you’ve seen more video of @Saul’s daughter, who isn’t even old enough for a license, than those three experienced and well travelled motorcyclists?

And she hates having her photo taken as well.     She is giving me the side eye above, but as I said she walked into shot so it wasn't down to me   

Been out on the Hornet with my youngest to run a few errands and see my Aunt.   She wasn’t in so popped up to Dameralls for a sausage sandwich and cuppa and a look at the bikes.    

It never ceases to amaze me how many bikes they turnover in that place, I can see at least 15 used ones have gone since my last visit a couple of weeks ago.    I have no idea how many new ones have gone out the door   

Also dropped into see my mate to give him some bits and got a pic next to his Hornet. 
 

Cheeky little 50 mile bimble about this morning.  

Mines really imaginative, it's called the Hornet

It’s always better when there is no photographic or video evidence to refute the story.

Looks like the kind of thing a fat lad would drop on the first corner.

You've done well to spot an oil seal failure from those photos, I can't even see the headlight

Now you are talking, I do like. Matisse.   Ver cool beans.  

I find it a bit odd that there is no laptop in the house.  I thought everyone had one bit like having a mobile phone.   ?

Oh a day of domestic bliss, fitted a new flap to the dog door, which to the dog is now afraid of .   Daft little ginger twat.   

Also fitted an Amazon Bluetooth headset to the youngests lid.    I felt sorry for her always trying to use pods with her helmet.   Daddy bountiful me .   I think she will be chuffed nonetheless

Pissed down all morning here so cancelled the run up to Kitt Hill and ended up taking the Mrs to Bodmin for shopping.  That's the day ruined.   

Probably a more objective review.  

I don't know how he does it but the feckless twat certainly gets some nice loan bikes nowadays.    He is right though there is something about the new Nortons.     Too expensive and less than perfect in places but there is something about them.  Had a real close look at one yesterday. I like it a lot.

Didn't you test an Indian one?

After all, I thought the Indian subcontinent was the epicentre of engineering excellence!

Did an Indian hurt you by any chance? 

Finally gave up and bought a branded pump with a proper warranty.   No more shonky chinky chonky ones for me.

You haven't crashed the computer have you?

After all you've already managed it with the truck and the bike!

An oil seal went on the mouse, nothing that could be done 

@XTreme anybody you know Pete?

You said it yourself......there's no comparison whatsoever between your Honda and that thing.

You get what you pay for springs to mind.

Yeah but my Honda is a first world product with double the horsepower, not a fair comparison with an A2 bike.   Also nobody gives a Hornet a second look whereas the BSA is a lovely looking thing that people bill and coo over.  If you want to pose that's important I suppose.  Not for me but there are plenty that buy into the 'Look At Me' thing and just want to potter around.    I don't think it's shit, just not what I want from a bike.

It's a John le Carre novel!

I finished the series and it's well worth watching!

I watched it ages ago when it first came out.  Bloody good.

Colin sounds like a billy big bollox twat, why would you lead a ride out like that with people you don’t know.

Someone on the ride might have decided to take him on and then it could have got a bit dodgy 

Mate you have him sussed.  He would bully you if he could, total twat in my opinion.  I don't buy into it and will go to Thor whenever I like, but I have mates who won't go there.  In fact one mate won't go there unless I go with him   I get along with him up to a point but I would never buy a bike from him, I have seen how he treats people and what an awkward cunt he can be.  Shame really because Thor could be the best dealership around if it wasn't for him.

It’s quite a physically small bike as well don’t you think?

Yes I would agree, if I can flat foot it with a 29" inside leg it would suit a smaller gentleman.  

Still over 200kgs though , and you can feel it.
