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

I dunno I probably haven't seen him in 20 years, today was the first time. Didn't really get much time to catch up today.

It was Kitt Hill bike meet this morning so we Fowey geriatrics met at 9:00am and set off. Five in the photo but one more arrived and we picked up one on route. Me Honda CBF600 Andy BMW R80 Martyn BMW R100 Gary Triumph Bonnie 650 Paul Triumph Tiger 850 Mike HD Fat BoB? Summin like that anyway and we picked Steve with his RE Super Meteor on route. One route we saw loads of bikes all going our way. Suppose the weather and time of year meant it was bound to be busy. When we got to Louis I was shocked we are normally in the first 10 to 15 bikes there. Must have been a good 100 there already today. Anyway breakfast ordered and eat then had a look at the many bikes. I didn’t try to photo many but there was loads of everything thing from vintage to brand new. Anyway after an hour Andy had to go so the 6 of us set off to got to Kev’s place for a cup of tea, I thought Kev lived in Plymouth but it turns out he had moved to Bideford the opposite coast from where we were. No problem as the roads were glorious and pretty quiet. We travelled out through Tavistock then on across Dartmoor to join the A386. Again lovely quiet roads in stunning sunshine. Doesn’t get much better than this. Anyway we got to The Highwayman at Sourton. (Yes that one Six30). When Mikes Harley died. The engineer and electrician decided, after some fettling, that the bike wasn’t charging and the battery was dead. Anyway after an hour messing we gave up and Mike called the RAC to rescue him. So we carried on to Kev’s place again on through some glorious roads through Torrington and then Bideford. All good. Tea drunk, some chat and we then headed down the A39 to Bude for fuel. Then to Camelford, Bodmin and home to Fowey. Steve left us at Camelford, A stunning day out day out with some entertaining mates, Shame the Harley didn’t make it, I felt for Mike as he was gutted his shiny pride and joy let him down. Covered 157 miles, @60mpg, one thing about having the vintage boat anchors with us you do save fuel.

I would genuinely like to do this, only question mark for me is getting time off work. If I can I will, now if it was mid week

That is a smart look bike Skip. Very practical and I would imagine a good everyday rider. I like the white as well.
