Sorry Pedro didn't proofread it after posting hopefully I've made it a bit more legible now

Needed blood taken this morning so had a day off and was going to have a quiet day chilling out, after the doctors i thought i'd add my new bike and the daughters car to my list of tax MOT and insurance due dates and realised the old Africa twin was due its MOT today. Phoned the place i take it and he said he'd fit me in which made me think i could get a ride in after, great that's my day off all planned and i was out after topping up the air in the tyres. Because i don't listen to the news i hadn't a clue why there were long ques at fuel stations as i headed up the valley i only found out off the guy doing the MOT what was happening, i needed fuel but i couldn't remember if i'd reset the trip on last fill up or not and then there was the thought had i syphoned any fuel out to put in one of the other bikes as i sometime do if the bikes been sat there for a while, anyhow i decided to ride and if the opportunity arrived on route i'd fill up but every fuel station i passed was heaving with dipshits panic buying so i kept going, after a while i was getting pissed off with not being sure of how much fuel is in the tank and its not the kind of tank you can see in without a torch so decided to head home i hadn't hit reserve yet so i was ok to get home on what the bike holds in reserve. On the way back i decided to take the old girl over Eglwysilan mountain i was going to stop to look at the view but there was an eerie fog rolling in so took a quick couple of photos and headed home. When i got home i got the torch out to look in the tank as i couldn't hear anything slopping about when i shook it, to my surprise there was nothing in there i'd left the bike on reserve last time i was out and forgotten about it another few miles and i'd have been walking

Now i have to ask this is there a reason why you didn't get the old tank resprayed and sell the new one on

There was a lot of them there

Great job @boboneleg looks like it should have been that colour from the factory. Did they let you keep the old tank

This is definitely me

And the six months after that when the sun comes out again

Initially Yes but that comes off with a bit of WD40 and on the dirt bikes i don't care they get covered in worse crap than that anyway

@XTreme I'll have you know my chains are almost self cleaning since I've been using gear oil on them Look at this all i done is hose the bike off and add oil to the chain no effort used at all

Yes to one of the lads in the TRF which reminds me he owes me a Pint

I was out with your CCM today i got some footage of it being abused for you

Why you don't go out when its hot anyway

Won't happen it's taken him years to find out how a still camera works and then years to work out how to post the results

Yes that's what i'm thinking, might be a Christmas present for myself so hoping to see some discounts/offers then

Count me in I find cameras can make these tracks look a lot worse than they are but for some reason make a steep hill look relatively flat

I think it last for a year he's some info i found on it https://www.digitalcameraworld.com/uk/buying-guides/gopro-subscription-explained-what-you-get-and-is-it-worth-it

Yes i think the Gopro subscription and what you get sounds good

Their Cheaper than that here https://gopro.com/en/gb/shop/cameras/hero10-black/CHDHX-101-master.html

Been thinking of something for a while especially since I've been reading about people getting abused by the general public on the trails. Only 2 weeks ago Steve one leg got beaten by an old lady with a walking stick some of the other lads had verbal abuse off two old ladies at the end of another lane and i had an encounter with an angry farmer the other day. Would be nice to get some video of them but £500

I see nothing wrong there no rust so all's good

COVID Pass for events and nightclubs announced for wales today so that will fuck it up for some party goers https://gov.wales/covid-pass-for-events-and-nightclubs-announced

Width of seat can make a difference as well my old CB1000 didn't have a high seat but it was wide and had me on tippy toes.
