Sir Fallsalot

Yes it was and the transalps and dominator I have seen are in great condition as well

Every bike here seems to be a scooter of some sort the only bikes I’ve seen is the Xt in the photo and a lots of transalps

Looking around I’d say their more like crustaceans lol

My day started with a 2am alarm call and a trip to Bristol airport, we’re off to Croatia for the wife’s birthday why she couldn’t have it in Ponty I don’t know, anyhow I am now sat around the airport waiting for the flight won’t be in touch for a few days as I only have a works phone and forgot to set it up for travel abroad

I’ve just realised how senile I am that was the second time I had my teeth hit out the first time was by some prick on a motorcycle. Me and the Same mate were cycling over to meet some girls in the same area when I spotted the latest model of some Suzuki bike parked up in a back lane can’t even remember what it was now. I stopped and had a good look at it when someone came out of a house and said something to me I don’t know what I finished looking at the bike and moved on . We stopped a little further on for a chat when the bike I was looking at pulled up with the owner and he just went mad accusing me of trying to steal his bike after repeatedly saying I haven’t touched your bike he just punched me in the face while I was still straddling my pushbike then jumped on his bike and fucked off leaving me me with my front teeth missing and wondering what the fuck just happened. Anyway the end result was he ended up in court and I bought my first road bike with the compensation I got and he got a criminal record for ABH and banned from the martial arts club he was very high up in. Another Abercynon fucking prick again

No I didn't tell them and they still don't know LOL

Same here Saul it's around £10k all other Ducati prices i've looked at have been 20k plus

With the stupid stuff I've done on the bike i could fill this page for days, not bike related there's one thing i done when i was probably around 9 or 10 year old that i still think about today. At that age i loved climbing things anything that was a challenge and i'd have a go, there was an old deserted quarry near my home which i would climb regular, it was probably about 100ft high, one day i was climbing a part i hadn't climbed before i was getting close to the top when i grabbed hold of the rockface to pull myself up and what i grabbed hold of came away in my hand and i was frozen there teetering on the balance point of falling backwards or towards the rockface for what seemed like forever, at the time it got the adrenalin flowing and not much else and i was climbing up the same line straight after, It was only when i got older i realised how close i came, i was on my own where i'd seen nobody else go there in all the times i'd been there and nobody knew i was there, if i had gone the wrong way the search would have been for a body not a missing child

Not good Clive, me and my mate were walking over to meet some girls when we were about 16 when we had to walk past a group of lads walking towards us after we past them they turned around and jumped us took us by surprise. One of them punched me when i turned to see who grabbed me so that was my two front teeth gone, my mate was a bit tasty and had a pair of steel toecap docs on which he put to good use and they ran off. Had to have a tooth either side of the two they hit out removed after so like you Clive 4 missing. I had the good fortune to bump into one of the lads a year or so later he wasn't so hard on his own. he wasn't the one who hit my teeth out but i made sure he knew how i felt about it fucking gutless pricks all of them.

The Swansea Bay crane rebuild is coming to an end in work tomorrow which cant come soon enough as the place stinks and the smell sticks to you no need to touch anything. I just hope they don't have me back to fix the electrical leak i found on it today

Same here Clive except it was village rivalry, me and a mate were in the wrong village at the wrong time and got jumped by five lads.

With the crap you've had out the carb so far you can be sure its the same inside so it's a carb off job and good clean

Don't panic him Bob let him get it started first

That's why i stay away from the stuff where i can. My car is supposed to run on super unleaded but will run fine on E10 but i found i get more MPG when i run on E5 so it cancels out the price difference between the two fuels and the car runs better on E5

I run E5 in everything unless i'm stuck but never really had a problem with old petrol being left a while other than the small amount left in the carb

The bike has an auto decompressor with a built in anti kickback mechanism for normal starting which makes the bike feel like it has no compression the manual decompressor is for occasions when i't's flooded usually after crashing Forgot to say the bike is an old design that hasn't changed much mine is 22 years old

Grab a 17mm ring spanner and take put the plug under the carb float bowl (turn the petrol off first) try and save the fuel in the plug to inspect see if there's any crap in there, you can turn the fuel on to flush it through at this point, i also find dropping the stale fuel out the carb helps starting after being left for a while. When you refill the carb if it starts pissing fuel just turn the tap off and start it with whats in the carb you can turn it back on when you go for a ride. If mines been left for a while dropped or flooded i find the procedure in the handbook works every time

It's not just Honda Ktm have wheelie control so someone like me who cant wheelie can look like a pro on a KTM and their traction control also allows you to power slide with very little risk of falling off, great in gravel i hear

You can afford to treat yourself now the fat mutter is going

I thought i'd drag the 650 out to have a look over it to see what if it needs anything for the MOT, Battery was and is totally flat even though my battery tender says its ok so that's a disappointment for a start. Got it fired up off the boost starter no problem but noticed the stop light isn't working, Checked the but bulb that's ok, so after fiddling about a bit i find there's no continuity on the cable for the stop light and finds a break under the rear mudguard repairs that and it's a bloody awkward job, puts all the cable back checks it and it's all working but i find one of the number plate LED lights is out and the wiring is the same route as the ones i just put back so that's it for tonight I've had enough will look at that through the week then it will be onto the check wheels. bearings steering and suspension

Your right Pete not a common sight here, however i grew up in a timber house, my father bought it in kit form and built it himself he moved in when i was born so it's 55 years old now. The land it's built on and the house itself cost around £3000 back then

Ungrateful bastards. hope she does allow you to see them and not stop it when you get there deliberately wasting your time and messing with your head

Will they be providing a place for you to stay while there
