Saul

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.

Basking apparently. Harmless unless you are krill

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.

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

Another trip over to to Davidstow this morning. Forecast was okish but by the time we had been there for 20 minutes the rain started. Forgot to take any water proofs so we got wet. Shadow ploughed on but after 40 minutes she had had enough. Rode up to me stop and said ; ”‘I’m out, all the water is running off the tank back onto my Fanny, my Fanny is wet and cold and I can’t take anymore.” Now this practically floored me and I genuinely nearly pissed myself laughing, much to her disgust . I did suggest her saying her crutch was wet next time, but I’m not sure she got it. I rode home chuckling all the way. I was laughing and told her mother what she said. Shadow didn’t like that either.

Another day over Davidstow with Shadow, hoping it will be uneventful. Going down to Portreath this evening with my aged Fowey Biker buddies, of course Shadow as well.

I suppose it's in the eye of the beholder but I like it. Could do with some decent clocks but for local on road bimbling about I think it makes sense.

Isn't this just an expensive CF Moto?

I reckon if they brought them here for that price they would sell hand over fist. Some decent tyres and there would be a lot of fun to be had.

Beautiful song, not sure that's the best I have heard it sung I used to sing in choir with a retired farmer, called Taff (Erfyl Jones), thunderous bass. To hear hing sing Calon Lan was something special, in fact he taught me.

ok

Inline like a Harley parallel like a Guzzi

I have a 270 degree Parallel twin and a inline four. Love both but I do look back fondly on the 3 BMW boxer twins I had in the past. Had a triple several parallel twins, singles and fours. Never had an inline V twin but had a Parallel V Twin. At the moment I love the Twin in my Hornet lots of bang for what it is. So probably twins for me.

Thrown in the deep end tonight but it turned out ok. Had a message in the week as there was a Lifeboat event on the quay. 200 years celebration. Anyway my group was asked to sing a few songs after the Vicar did her bit. We rocked up to a packed town quay, bit more of an event than just a few songs. Went well so all good in the end. After there was a band called Johnny and the Lips. Apparently Johnny was the wizened up old bass player who was in the Commitments from the film. Brilliant band all the same, brass section and all. Shame I had to come home to go to work. Working Sunday night as well but don’t have any other plans yet.

Twist and go?

No sign of a bridge there now. I remember seeing some film clips of one of the races there years ago. No safety precautions back in the 1950's

I think it is because it was originally built on common land and it returned to that after the war. I think they held motorsport their in the 1950's even hosting I Grand Prix. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davidstow_Circuit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAF_Davidstow_Moor

True, they will both be gone soon enough.

I do have a son, not sure he is a rainbow though. Suppose greasy gobshite twat doesn't really go with Sunshine and Shadow.

It's not to bad really only about 25 miles away, just the roads aren't great and we have to ride through Bodmin and Camelford. Disused WW2 airfields on common land aren't that common, well down here anyway

Not quite that old Those nicknames suit their personalities.

Not far off, just gotta wait for her 17th Birthday in October.
