Yeah those years of taking her to gymnastics had some effect.

It had a custom made sidecar attached. Look at the size of the wheels as well. Probably should have taken a photo of the whole but it was just so hideous. Didn't interest me.

Popped up to Liskeard for chequered flag bike night. Only stayed long enough for a coffee and a quick. Chat only about 15 bikes when we were there but more were pulling in as we left. Couple of Vicars turned up with big white crucifixes on their backs. Load of women from Plymouth behaving like arseholes all drama and fuss. Few normal guys but don’t know if I will bother again. Of course no show without punch performing Nice Panzer, I like that, especially that it is single seated Cool blade, but had to explain to Shadow it was a Honda not a Repsol. Fantic 700 Vicars ADV750 scoot CBR 650, I could see one of those in Shadow’s future I didn’t mind the red VFR. The hands are Shadows, she was sticking with me and dancing, her ADHD was kicking in because of the noise. When the biker chicks turned up with their pantomime I took Shadow home as their carry on spiked her anxiety and she got really stressed. Not used to adults behaving like that.

Glad it passed Clive, you must be doing something right. I would love to see some more reports from you get out there.

Didn't he sell his 1290 to a Harley Dealer? Prolly got some store credit to spend on leather tassels

I'll happily buy you a beer but I am not anymore flush because I didn't have to go in, still the same contracted hours they just didn't need me to go in on Friday. Probably didn't hurt that I had previously said yes to the boss when he asked me to go in 3 hrs early for my Sunday Shift.

I reckon I can smell that sweaty Mosh Pit from here.

I have given that some thought Fred. The Honda tensioner for this generation of 600/4 is known to be weak, in fact there is a revised official Honda one released now, only about £80, maybe a future option. I suppose the previous owner went with a manual one to save money as for all intents and purposes it is only a bolt and locknut. I'm not going to sweat over it while it's running so well, done 2k miles since I bought it and I am thinking hard to find fault. Clutch is a bit noisy, but apparently they all are. Doing high 50's mpg and goes very well keeping up with my friends much newer bikes. After all it's a £1100 winter hack, I'm enjoying it. I will worry when there is something to worry about.

Funnily enough I have been out playing with my CBF. It came with a manual cam chain tensioner, never worried about it but I noticed a rattle when riding the other day nothing drastic but audible. So hit up Youtube for a how to on adjustment. Watched loads, all pretty straight forward, so went out and did it this afternoon, motor is sounding as sweet as a nut again, it's the little things that make you smile. I now have a datum for the next time it needs adjustment which hopefully isn't to often. I have no idea when it was last done, probably years ago, given it's last documented service was 2019.

Woohoo just had a message from my boss, my clinician for tonight has gone sick so I don't have to go in. Paid for 10 hours for doing sweet f all.

All good here mate

Shopping this morning Working overnight tonight, Shanty festival in Fowey on Saturday so will go down to that, Working Sunday night. Then off on leave for 3 weeks. Both clinician are bikers so we will have something to talk about on shift.

I know they are huge close upI When I was a teenager I was out with a couple of mates fishing in a 14' dory. One swam within 10 feet of the boat, even though you know they aren't aggressive still a fucking huge creature close up. I don't fucking like em

Nope

Good to see you back. all good with you ?

Not sure I want to mooch about on a big armchair because of my daughter’s sensitive butt . Mind you I do like a Pan.

Been out on the CBF this morning to go to the classic car and bike coffee morning at Griggs, local country store with a big cafe. Bloody enjoyed it to be honest, met some interesting guys plus a couple of Nazi’s I know from the RE Club. Good morning spent talking bikes. Pissed with rain all the way there and back, went with my mate Andy who was on a Serrow today. He has more bikes that I have shoes.

She likes the Hornets grunt but the seat has little to no padding, small part of the reason I bought the CBF was a more comfy passenger seat for the princesses rear.

Basking apparently. Harmless unless you are krill

How strong was that mudguard

St Ives harbour yesterday.

Total sense to drive on the left, you need to be able to use your sword on anyone coming in the opposite direction The Japanese know this

Twasn't her backside more frontside she was referring to. . Probably not the most demure statement from her but to the point as always. She is a tough cookie though and will get used to the rigors of biking I am sure.

Just got back from a 100mile trip, down to Portreath for a coffee on the beach. I went with Shadow on the CBF600 Andy on his Tiger 1200 and Martyn on his V85TT. Some absolutely determined ponies intent on the greenest grass. After the coffee we decided to take the coast road west down through Ilogan and on to Hayle. Some stunning views. After Hayle stopped for fuel the back across Carnon Downs to the A30 then a blast back to Innis Downs and home. Such a bonus that Gary and his 1973 Bonnie couldn’t make it and we weren’t stuck at 70mph because of his vibrating eyeballs . Bitchy I know but it made a pleasant change to make some progress on a near empty A30. Andy’s Tiger is a bloody quick bike, Martin and I struggled to stay with him in sections. He backed off sensibly but we still made good time home. Apparently Shadow is struggling with numb butt after a whole day in the saddle along with getting wet. She will toughen up I’m sure.

I wouldn't stop her from joining here but I don't think there is much here to interest her, she does look at what I post about her, so no secrets. She doesn't like me using her name online hence why I call her Shadow. She is currently in her room falling out with Alexa who is apparently a dumb bitch
