Sir Fallsalot

Right who was it that didn't believe me when i said the weather was going to be good on Thursday

Had a run out on the dog today got the MOT and so far the thing is going ok. Usual route back from the MOT station you can see Penrhys on the right in the distance

Yes tell that twat @XTreme

He may as well end it all now save him the pain and suffering the future holds now that you pointed out he's English

I want to stick with the cable might put a new one on to see if it improves, got this thing in my head of these hydraulic conversions letting me down when i need it most

Finished putting it together tonight and been out for a run, I'd forgotten how well it pulls and sooo smooth compared to the two stroke, That Beta is turning me into a wimp the clutch is so light on it i had a shock when i got on the dog the clutch was almost a two hand operation something i hadn't noticed before. Changed the oil with some cheap ebay stuff and will swap it again in a few hundred miles if it runs that long. MOT booked for tomorrow and then i can put some miles on it feeling happy

Nice i don't have half of that and they have mostly gone now

Trouble is Bob he doesn't understand the full functionality of the top box either that or he cant remember how to take it off

Talking of gloves i always bought these Tech 7 Cyber gloves for the trail bike as i don't like long gloves and i wanted some protection for the road riding but they are now discontinued and everything like them are double the price The pair i have is getting to the end of their life and didn't know what i was going to get next That was until i went to Trago Mills for the first time a few weeks ago and picked up a pair of these they were just over £7 when i checked out, so far i'm well impressed with them so impressed going back to buy a shit load for future use

Same here Clive and spent more time fixing them than riding hang on fuck all's changed still doing that now except they all got motors now

Not yet anyway test ride tomorrow night see how it goes

At only 53 i don't know how you old fuckers are still going i'm constantly aching and cant remember fuck all from the past, i also cant remember the last time i got out of a chair without making a noise of some kind can you drop me off in the late eighties on the way back i'd like to run my fingers through my hair again

A few new organs to transplant into the monster were waiting for me when i got home from work tonight not much there for £534 After a few hours on the operating table the monster lives again lets hope it lives longer than a KLR this time. I'll finish putting it together tomorrow night take it for a short run then drop the oil and hopefully an MOT on Thursday

Sounds like fuckmines MO

Not me i voted for Mawsley as well, cracking photo that

Don't drink tea or coffee it was always a grown ups drink when i was young and i guess i never grew up

Yes but is there anything more British than a cup of tea I'd be ok i don't like the stuff and i'm not saying this is you but it sure looks like you at this protest

Yes thing is he still would have made the sale if he had told me the chain needs looking at and i would have had more respect for him and what made it worse for me is he was a fucking copper ass hole is all i think now

Your 200km trip for a cup o tea tends to contradict that statement

Trouble is people lie, When i bought my old Africa Twin the guy said it had new chain and sprockets which when i checked them it seemed to be true and i believed him but a few months later i discovered he had fitted new sprockets but just cleaned the old chain which was totally knackered.

I cant help but think of Hondas XADV when looking at this

There's a regular bus service up there so not totally isolated
