Sir Fallsalot

My mate phoned tonight as i got home from work asking if i fancied a ride out on the Beta's, at first i wasn't to keen but remembered i am working away next week and probably the week after so wont get a chance for a while, it was just a local run on the mountains i haven't ridden in years Made our way up to what is locally called the tump to have a play which is this old coal tip (Photo from google) There was a few miles of horrible rutted tracks to get there had a little play on the hill climbs certainly feeling my age now i used to fly up these like they weren't there many years ago on real crap bikes just about cutting it on the new one LOL Me having a go And my mate fucking show off LOL I think my mate has a video of me at the top of this looking down. i didn't start recording soon enough when he went up i failed on the first attempt but ok on the second Some fantastic views from the top I took the easy route back down From here we moved onto our furthest point from home through lots of deep water and ruts no photos of those bits started heading back from here on the opposite side of the valley Stopped here for a photo the clouds were rolling in over the valleys in the distance with the sun going down the photo doesn't do it justice phone couldn't cope with the sun We thought we better get a move on as the sun was going down and we were having trouble navigating because they have built a lot of access roads for the wind turbines since the last time i was here which have dead ends on them so after turning around a few times we decided to cut across country to get to where we wanted to go but came across a wire strung about 3ft off the floor, without thinking i grabs hold of it to lift it up to ride under its a bloody electric fence fuck they hurt LOL anyhow we gets to where we wanted to be The ground was as boggy as i remember and my mate gets a little stuck he says its not going anywhere I said give it some gas but he was right it wasn't going anywhere (look away now Pete) LOL took us about half hour to free it the ground just didn't want to give it up My bike waiting patiently It was a straight forward ride from here and got home just after dark i need more evenings like this

That does not look safe can you put up another photo up of it more secure so i can sleep tonight

Why do i get the feeling this is going to be the most underwhelming reveal of this century

Same here all back to normal

Its almost as amazing as someone who actually checked how many voted

painted today i'll put it back together in the evenings this week

As in she would be better if she was in Poland Lol

Trouble is i can't do pretty welds but i'm a dab hand with a grinder

That's what i meant about my cheep shot at you being cheep

he's had one of those before so i don't think he will be getting another when there's stuff on the list he hasn't had

so you've had 13 gay relationships

that's an old one this is the same year as mine but is surprising only a few kilos heavier but holds more fuel so if you take that into account not far off the same weight https://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/model/bmw/bmw_r1200gs 16.htm

Too heavy so i don't think its this one plus he likes a single

Not my one its 232kg i think the GS is over 250kg before the owners bolt another 500kg of crap to it

That's another reason i'm thinking its the CRF because he hates overweight monstrous behemoths probably why he doesn't like his boys polish woman sluggish and unresponsive handling whilst riding

I'm still going for the CRF300L because its cheep to buy and cheep to run and service and we all know your cheep fecker LOL

Wheres Bucksters bike i wanted to vote for that again LOL

If it was from your youth shouldn't they have been like that for 65 years.

No it wouldn't help but do it anyway LOL

Well tell the fucker i want it back as it was

I've got to ask whats going on with the notifications now it used to be a drop down list when i clicked on the notifications tab now it opens a page I don't like it i want the old way back

And the fact i don't care helps as well

All welded up now not pretty but its not going anywhere

That's the only area rust has got a grip of the ends of the boxed in bit are open so all the crap has got trapped in there holding water going to pour some rust killer in there and after its dry loads of chain lube

Today I have to weld holes on the 650, last time i was out the headers started blowing since it was recently rebuilt i just thought it was something settling in so nipped up the bolts which fixed it, later on one of the lads i was out with flagged me down to say my exhaust was bouncing about it wasn't the headers settling in i had lost a bolt holding the silencer on and that bouncing about had worked loose the header pipes. so me being clever just got some fence wire and held it up with that for the rest of the ride when i got home the bouncing about had chewed up the rusty metal and made a proper hole for me to sort out So far I've Cut out a nice new plate and made a spacer for the exhaust mounting bolt to attach Ready for welding Spacer welded in place A dry run to see how it fits Back to the shed now to make the inner plate then i have some serious cleaning of the frame to get all the paint off ready for welding
