At the risk of Marcel's head exploding I took my Indian in for a service a few days ago and the grizzled tech that did it did a brief test ride on completion. He came back in and said why can't HD make an engine like that. Ive ridden loads of HD's but that is only the second FTR - I can't understand why anyone would buy a HD when Indian makes something like that.

Not much fun either way. Hope it goes ok.

Jeez, that isn't going to buff out. Hope she is OK ...

25th, so a bit over 2 weeks, I will be 61 I still feel about 20 in my head. My back aches, ankle is a bit knackered, shoulder aches due to a pinched nerve in my neck, half of my right leg is numb, so my body doesn't quite feel 20. ... but according to my wife I act like I'm about 12 most of the time.

The thunder and lightning always seems to skirt round us. It’s the only upside of going to see the in-laws in Florida, they have some really good storms. I was standing in the porch way watching a really good thunderstorm a few years back and lightning hit the ground just the other side of the garden fence. I nearly shat myself.

Same here, in two weeks time .

Be interested to know how you get on with that. I toyed with the idea of getting one but as the shit weather is on the horizon it’s been put off till next spring.

I feel the same about watches, anything with a battery has no soul. But when I want to know what the time is it's the battery ones which are showing the right time.

I have a US V8 engined fun car too in which I can pretty much see the gas tank needle move when I put my foot down. For getting from A to B everyday and doing so for £30 max a month instead of £400+ electric is great, I’m a convert. …and I’m sleeping while it is charging …
-
That’s what I initially thought. But it’s 400+ hp 4wd , it’s brilliant fun … gets through tyres quick tho, but it’s cheap as chips to fuel

I pay £30 a month for my ( car) motoring, flat rate, however much I do. I do 20k + miles a year. Octopus do £30/ month charging for however much you do. I used to pour £100+ a week diesel into my last car, this is great.

Why don’t you just use a laminated plasterboard ( drywall as it’s called over there), less arse ache. https://www.buildershoponline.co.uk/Plasterboard-Plaster-Accessories/Laminated-Plasterboard/Celotex-PL4000-Insulated-Plasterboard-Laminate Or put the V B up, leave a hatch then go do it from above?

Fixed my trolly jack. Hopefully the bloody thing won't piss oil all over the floor now.

Car Fest in full swing down the road from me, listening to the music in my living room (window open) as I type this. Had fun turning petrol into noise (on 4 wheels ).

Im surrounded by motorway roadworks hell. Seems everywhere has these Highways England career roadworks which take 3 years to complete and cause bloody chaos for miles around as everyone tries to find ways to get round them. And when you do get stuck in them there is no bugger working. Im riding to work as much as possible to try to get through it and spending so long on the frigging motorway my tyres are going square.
-
Yeah, I should make the effort to get up there, it’s a bit of a hike from the south coast tho. Does look like great fun.
-
It will reduce the performance of the bikes engine too, at least a little bit. Never been to Santa Pod but id like to go watch. Can any one race or do you need a racing licence? What sort of times did you manage?

I have a dash cam on one of mine. To many retards unable to follow the lanes around a roundabout or look before changing lanes. I wouldn't say it's brilliant, software isn't as stable as the one I have in my car but the picture is reasonably good forward, resolution on the rear is lower for some reason.

Are you going to board out the inside?
