Local bike night just less than a mile from my place tonight. Went up with my 2 daughters and our family friend that I taught to ride. Good turn out, I was up there for the first hour and a half and 52 bikes came and went with more coming as we left. Only the second meet but seems to be going well for the chap that organises it. Saw some stunning stuff, nice new Hornet 1000SP and a couple of peachy Fireblades. Also a lovely W800 that would suit. Done the best part of 400 miles in the last 3 days bloody knackered now. Was going to start stripping the CBF tomorrow but may have a rest instead now

Went up to J and S Motorcycle supplies in Plymouth today. Fuck me they got some gear to choose from. Not sure I am up for much city riding, bloody glad to get out of the place.

Cause all real men ride Blue Dildos don't they?

As opposed to the Blue one ? The RS belongs to my Uncle who has had it from new, pretty quick bit of kit and just as small as my Hornet. Never thought about the 675 or 765 before but would now.

That's Princetown High Street where the Prison is. Apart from the imposing Prison Building it's a very pretty town in the middle of Dartmoor. Funnily enough I don't say much about MPG when I'm in company.

Had Run around Dartmoor and back down the North coast with the quick boys. 149 miles of fun in good company

Looks like it is going into the combustion chamber?

Here’s one for the brains trust. I saw this 05 Bonnie today. What’s going on with the head? There seems to be something bolted in next to the spark plug, anyone know what it’s for? I looked at a different Bonnie of the same vintage and that didn’t have it.

Fork Legs

They were done 7k miles ago so I am sort of hoping that it will go ok. Gonna paint the fork legs after the job is done so expect it will take more than a day. Just gotta charge my impact up for the damper bolts can see many snags apart from them, I have a friendly engineer mate if I get out of my depth. Prolly service the front brakes when it's all apart, got pads as well they may go in if needed. The CBF is due it's yearly service next month so may get a kit and do that at the same time if I hit any road blocks.

Gonna be busy this week.

Is you are going from HDD to SSD you are in for a pleasant surprise Also was going to say I regularly use my 2009 Macbook Pro at home. Still perfectly usable for most tasks. I like it cause it has loads of connectivity , a DVD drive, plenty enough capability for my music projects and a really nice screen. I have added more RAM, new battery and SSD but that is all its had in 16 years.

I don't really do holidays, living the dream in Cornwall already. I do have 3 weeks leave in August for Fowey Regatta. If the weather something like it I might venture up to Wales for a couple of days but apart from that nothing much.

You're a big hearted softy sometimes. Not a criticism.

Mine too first generation of un upgradeable Macs. Mine is a 2020 M1 Macbook Air and 5 years old, been used relentlessly and still just as good as they day I bought it, but apart from the battery pretty much unrepairable. I may be wrong but I don't see it lasting as long as the other Macs I have which will be a shame, but I suppose I shouldn't moan before I'm hurt. It's been a stunning bit of kit and still has an 18 hour battery life. I know that sounds abstract but I never have to charge it at work which is something older Macs and most current PC Lappy's can't match.

Pay someone wont cost that much. Which model is it? If you get the exact model number there is bound to be a how too on Youtube.

I think that is the sign to get a new SSD quick smart.

Does that saddle make it an Iron Horse ? From Bude bike night last Wednesday.

Been cleaning and polishing, off to Bude bike night later, probably

Trans GS?

Haven't really taken many photos this month. Going on a 200 mile ride out tomorrow so I will see if I can get a couple of suitable shots.

Saw this thing when I went into the bank today. Badged Piaggio but I was surprised how much rust there was on fasteners and on the discs. Pretty newish bike that I imagine wasn’t cheap.

Good day out with some mates doing a Geand tour of Devon. Trip Stats. Other stuff

Working, Singing, Working

Yes please
