MooN

they are sweet looking beasties.

Bank Holiday today (rememberence day in France is on the day , not the nearest sunday) adn bizarrely nice weather, up to 17deg c and blue skies, so, having shovelled a 2nd coat of varnish on the shutter from the kids room and a first coat of rattlecan black on the ironwork for it, I got the bike out and was about to leave when a mate rang asking if I was thinking of riding and if so leaving when? I replied "now" we met up down the road a little way and ended up doing somewhat over 200km in a loop north and east from home. Great afternoon out

got out for an hour on the bike yesterday, nearly home whn i came across 2 "yoofs" on mobylettes ( 50cc bikes) they were busy dismanteling one of the bikes so I stoppe to see if I could help. They'd somehow managed to stripp the threads of the exhaust header fitting to the cylinder. They had a good selection of tools with them, and didn't seem overy phased by the situation. I went and got an assortment of bolts and washers from the nearby hardware store for them and left them to it. As night was falling I did check they had phones to call someone if they couldn't fix it. lovely day for a spin

Ah shit mate, I am so sorry to hear that.

comes out a bit more like this, which is, subconsciuosly, easier on the eye.

God knows I'm no photographer, but your subject is too central and theres too much forground.

they're all fucking morons and should be shot on site, their "club" should be held responsable for any damage caused, pay for the extra policing neccessary and for the loss of earnings for all the town centre shopkeepers and restaurants who are obliged to close for the day and board up their window's. I fucking hate them with a passion that I struggle to hide. Not specifically Marseille... ALL of them.

the weather is still shyte here, and what's more the place is crawling with police and CRS cos there's a footy match Auxerre Vs Marseille here this evening so the marseille brain dead wankers are expected by busload anytime during the afternoon. I would corral them all in to a large carpark and then call in an air strike from the nearest Rafale squadron, but apparently that's not allowed...

well the KTM belongs to Marcel ( and the pic is shit) so 'nuff said, The tiger in the woods belongs to me and that would be ungentlemany, As we all know "There's no excuse for Suzuki ownership" I like the Benelli, but Saul's was a better pic. So there you have it.

I'm NOT clicking on that!

I've discovered that the best way to scare off the little bastards begging for sweets is to answer the door naked... oh, there's some more arrived... disguised as policemen this time...

depends on what you're planning on doing with it. There's currently plenty of people doing some serious travelling on smaller powered bikes than that,

hate to tell you this, Mash is not French. They're imported via France and the French importer labels them mash. it's simply a marketing name. In exactly the same way that our 50's and 125's are fabricated by Hanway in china and marketed in Europe under the name Masai. The " assembly" consists of fitting the handlebars, fitting the front wheel, pumping up the tyres and fitting the battery.

you shouldn't remove it Pedro, you owned it at the time of the photo, that should be good enough

I may have a better one, but on the poota, which i dont have with me right now.

well it's blowing a bloody hooligan outside here now, been shit all day today.

my Psychologist suggested that I write letters to the people I hate and then burn them. I've done that, but still don't understand what I should do with the letters...

I went to give blood today. Never again! Sooo many questions ; who’s blood is it? Why is it in a bucket?…

Yes. We have an off road test/demo track at the back of the property. In theory the machine is restricted to 60km/h for legal reasons but will develop 230something hp when de restricted… it’s frighteningly quick

Today, i have mostly been playing with a chinese 2L turbo engine and autobox from our latest SSV

congrats Yamahead!

I windered how long that would take you

I rode a 6oo xvl transalp for 17 years... oh, and it's only on here that somebody decided hondas are gay, and please belive that this form, though a complete universe within itself, is NOT representative of the majority of uk dwellers, motorcyclists or otherwise. ( having said that, I haven't lived there for 30 years so what the fuc do I know?)

I was going to say “the Chinese will buy it”
