The weekend thread


Pedro

Recommended Posts

It’s the weekend. What are you all up to?

 

Tomorrow I’ll be visiting my mechanic in the afternoon as he’s got the GS there to fit the new shocks, check valve clearances, fit mix use tires, check the transmission, etc. Hope to ride the bike home, unless he lacks a specific measurement for the valve adjustment, floating on some Swedish gold :classic_cool:

It’s warm, so bored people will be visiting the shop to drink coffee and talk, I shall do my best to fence them off and keep the dude focused!

It is supposed to be chucking it down here,  but as yet....dry.

I may go in the shed and put scoots battery on charge, it is a (bit) flat.... 😂 like totally flat. 

I recently taxed it, should have SORNed really.

You've taxed it so now you'll have to ride it.

That’s a proper mess. Is this the bike you took to France?

Attempting to finish the 4ft. high privacy wall around my back porch today....waiting for a drill-powered nibbler attachment to show up today from Amazon...so I can cut the oddball pieces of sheet metal siding. It oughta look halfway proper since the pattern matches the garage....
