Saul

So you bought it then?

Oh Dear! he is going to be back sooner than later, still obsessing and looking for attention.

Waiting for the scrap man. Then putting up my new storage for my bike gear and mechanical tools.

Doesn't strike me as the most stable person, just through some of the rubbish he posts. Don't wish him ill, hopefully he has some people around him to give some perspective and help.

My boy is 21 today. Haven't seen him yet.

Very nice, are you tall enough for one

I don’t know to be honest the bike had a new sprocket and chain set 100 miles before I bought it. It is an O ring chain and seems to be decent quality, hasn’t stretched in the 3.5k miles I have put on the bike. To be honest the noise wasn’t terrible it’s just the bike is pretty quiet especially with the touring screen so I probably notice things more. I heard a rattle a few weeks ago which turned out to be the keys. Not that you can tell from the photo, chain was originally gold but snow foam took the colour out of it.

Back to college under her own power this morning.

Had a case of that the day I was out around North Cornwall. All good for 80 miles or so but in the last 10 miles I could hear this sort of whirring from the back of the bike, started quiet but became more intrusive. Anyway I stopped and checked out the rear end, nothing amiss, no play in the bearings or noise when spinning the wheel, suspension all where it should be, brakes as they should be, tyre pressures right on, tyres all good, chain tension good. Couldn't find anything obviously amiss. Rode home and it was still there. Anyway that evening I thought about it and worked out that I hadn't lubed the chain for the last 4 tankfulls. So about 650 miles. Next morning I cleaned the bike, cleaned and lubed the chain, went for a spin and the noise was gone. Two things: I was relieved that the noise was gone but pissed off that I had missed doing such obvious maintenance. I am normally very good at that sort of thing and lube the chain every second tankful but obviously had a brain fart this time.

Yeah they have filmed allsorts there over the years. Been a lot goin on down there recently, couldn't tell you what .

Been out for a bimble while there was a break in the weather. Bit like Shadow I was getting stir crazy. Nice to be out there and nice to remind myself what a cracking old bike my CBF is. .

Shadows been out for her maiden voyage since the RTA. Bikes all good but she did comment that the foot controls felt different but understood when I told it was because her foot pegs were no longer bent . Still I am happy she is back out there with her confidence intact. Loves her new HJC LID Back out where it belongs

Twat, my wife is a hairdresser and I have two daughters with long hair

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.

Yes sort of a tough metal Shed. https://www.asgardsss.co.uk/motorcycle-garage

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.

Knew it

What you doing? I working tonight and Sunday but have Saturday off. Aside form that I will be getting Shadow's bike back on the road. Prolly watch some rugby tonight and tomorrow weather dependent. Tis Kitt Hill bike meet on Sunday dunno if I will go this time but again weather dependant.
