Then, the right gets all pissy for being cheated on.

No shooting involved, it will be stored with the other 200,000 rounds and racks of guns along with the 40,000 rolls of toilet paper ready for the impending zombie apocalypse.

Can be very profitable if you buy during times the Fucking commies arnt in power. And when they are, well, its how you get them out.

Started to strip the 650 to fit a new cam chain tonight as all the parts i needed turned up today Had to strip the carb off to get the rocker cover off which was a right pain on this bike this is how it looks at the moment when i took the clutch cover off i noticed a bit of black plasticky stuff. Couldn't work out what it was at first or where it come from but after taking the cam chain out i could see wear on the crank case from the chain and then the horror dawned on me bloody cam chain guide is worn out and that bit of plastic was the side of it. To change it the head has to come off so new head gasket as well as the two chain guides This is the old chain and and the bit of cam chain guide i found floating about. The chain is totally fucked i'm lucky it hasn't snapped So now i have to sit and wait for more parts before i can rebuild it

this could be 79 or 80.... on a bike my dad had , think it was a Suzuki GT500 i was 12 or 13 .

Just switch to the left, always nice to vary...

I was just playing this out loud when the wife started singing it in the other room. I said who's this, she said UFO, i said well let them sing it because your fucking killing it, my ears still ringing

Yeh.....I thought the same!

Years riding.....not age! Though it could possibly be his IQ as well?

I'd just like to point out that in Bobs video at 7m 40 odd where the guy says he undone the bracket with the water pump on, it is actually the thermostat housing

I love you too Fred

Tyres are not Dave's specialist subject!

That’s very kind, Bob, and indeed I have been thinking of getting one of that vintage as a way of saving mine for ever with manageable mileage. But I really have no use for that unless I do get that older bike.

Lol, it's nothing bad at all. I have an unused Riders's Manual for R 1200 GS and I wondered if you wanted it. It's 09.2009 1st edition . Like I say , if you want it I will post it too you.

Whatever there was in the pantry, anchovies, capers, sardines, olives, dried tomatoes, etc Some sort of Sicilian style thing

Done well to get the cam cover off without snapping bolts, normally the 2 at the inside front. Good luck with the exhaust studs.

I wanted new coveralls, cant get my siZe in the colour i want, FFS! Groceries are expensive, gas is stupid, no ammo at any price, plenty of work, just no one gets hired to do it, plenty of money just nothing to buy, so the prices of what you cant get go up, wtf? Welcome to Two Twenty One Beaches.

No shes not bothered, she has her money and i have mine once the bills are paid we spend it how we like within reason

That's the way it should be Caroline! On some forums you can't say the word "bastard"......yet being rude and aggressive to others (including women) without using profanities is somehow considered acceptable. Well it's not acceptable......and it won't ever happen here. The guys would call it out straight away!

I knew my youngest son was gonna be musical when he was about 3 years old. I started singing something and his face screwed up in a pained expression

It’s freaking me out how nice and helpful you all are. I’m not used to it, I’m more accustomed to screw ups being unpleasant Thanks very much for the info and vid. Id rather he got the parts too but I can see why he doesn’t. He’s a mobile mechanic with limited space on his van and would have to spend his own time n money sourcing parts. At least this way I know the parts are good. Still pissed of with the other garage though. Particularly when he took the tank off and the breather tube thingys weren’t attached.

NGK CR7E is quite a common plug, loads of them for sale on eBay. I'd be more concerned about a mechanic who tells you to supply your own parts It does look like a fit of a fiddly job to change them but definitely doable. Here's a video I found on youtube...........

Has anyone said your a very nice man Bob

No problem, it will go onto eBay then .

My grandfather came back from ww2 as screwed up as you’d expect and turned to the bottle, took a job with the BBC (he’s the reason programmes like grandstand and others sports coverage happened) and spent the remainder of his life never coming home travelling the world on the beebs expense account getting pissed. Which sounds fine and dandy until you know he left two boys with my schizophrenic grandmother who could hear angels talking to her and telling her to beat her children better. A bad mother is a fucking travesty. But of course that’s all he’d experienced so he married my mum who was I think it’s fair to say a shit mother with a narcissist personality disorder. Heyho it was never dull Someone sent me a link to a website last week with a page asking for more stories about my grandad (he was a character) and it was weird as hell reading entertaining stories about a man that I’d always thought of as a selfish old bastard!

50 years you old twat, only 49 for me I’m as young as fuck me.

Just fitted said contis. These buggers are so hard. They'll be no getting these off on a dirt track to fix a puncture. The rear went on ok but the front was a basted, even on the tyre machine. Hope they're still up in the morn. After cancelling from moto-tyres, the front tyre arrived, a month after ordering. Got it collected after phoning someone in India, just waiting for the money to reappear in my account.

Little buggers keep breaking the spring end off.

It's a T500......called a Titan in the US!

I was working in the stores in Neath Hospital......and the field around one of the buildings caught fire. The Fire Brigade couldn't come as they were dealing with other outbreaks, so a load of us were in the field trying to stop the blaze. That was really fucking hot.....I can remember the soles of my trainers melted! But we stopped it.....more by luck than judgement I think.

you want to spend some money .... i got just what you need ... China White , Mother Pearl, pure as the driven snow .... baby .

It looks like you caught that just in time Fred, pay attention to the cam chain tensioner while you're in there. The one on my XR650L caused me a fair bit of aggro.

End of afternoon, some local wine bought on a motorcycle ride, some good eats, plenty good

Following buying special flour, pizzas were made: The result wasn’t what we hoped for but can’t go wrong with pizza

It starts ...

Be careful with wires, all I know is that if you break them and the magic smoke comes out they then become useless!

Why?

About 9 years ago I won the contract to gut out a 4 unit warehouse building to turn it into one bit space. It had a mezzanine that you could only get to by using a ladder or forklift. There were 7 totally disassembled ZX7's sitting on pallets. It had been used by tj4 cops to store stolen property and they had left them after moving out. I called them and they told me to throw them out. I made a small fortune selling all the parts on Ebay . Australians love zx7s. I must gave shipped half if it there. All totaled I made close to 9 grand canuck from their laziness

This is a wacky 80's pic, its ok cause the 80's were weirdly like the 70's anyways, thats Abby btw sitting on the dog house.

As the title suggests this is the same stuff I've posted over and over but today i was showing a couple of new guys to trail riding around not many photos i'm afraid. Started off by meeting in a layby near Barry which turned out to be notorious for dogging so much so they cut all the hedge rows and trees down so it was less concealed. what a fucking great place to meet 3 blokes I've never met before So when i arrived two are waiting i checks my phone and sees one has canceled due to the weather forecast being bad. I Introduces myself and has a chat to find out a bit about them, one bloke is about my age with some off road experience years ago but new to this bike and the other about 34 year old and only past his test 3 months ago but very keen, both on T7's their getting as common as the muck we'll be riding through today. I starts them off on a couple of lanes i know are tricky to see what i'm dealing with, first lane was a bit slow but ok, the second lane there's no sign of the youngster at the end so had to go back where i found him picking up the bike which turned out to be the second time. Third lane i decided to be a true general and lead from the rear and watch the carnage unfold. Fuck me the young lad clocked more time on his fairings then his tyres on this lane and dopey here buried his phone too deep to get any photos of it. Took these after what was about the fourth time he dropped the bike in the same lane I thought i'd get some video on this next lane which was easy at the start and finish but tricky in the middle. That's an old railway bridge in the photo and vid First off is the older bloke followed by the youngster you can see the difference in experience here Stops for a breather and a chat How can i describe this photo, two springer spaniels and a pug comes to mind lol From here it was up onto my local lanes on Eglwysilan mountain, that T7 sounds sweet And a rare vid with me in it Found something people don't usually dump there was about 14 plants in all After this the youngster bailed and headed home as he ditched the bike in a large puddle no damage but got a bit wet. the other lad was happy to carry on the next lanes were all gated which is a pain but gives me time to take a photo I shoots on ahead on the next lane to take some more video, heading into the Rhondda valleys here Stops for a chat on this one which is the golf course lane, where you ride right through the middle of it and end up with what should be familiar view on here now looking at the new bridge in Porth Last lane i have no photos of and no incidents other than the T7 rolling off the side stand when he was opening a gate, still amazed at how many don't put the bike in gear when pointing down hill no damage though. I'm impressed how much abuse the t7 took today with no damage other than scratches. The two lads were great company and will ride out with them again whether they want to ride with me is a different matter though

I'm super flexible......it's just that my knees don't cope with too much weight!

Dare I say you’re using way more aggressive tires than the yamahas, @Sir Fallsalot? I don’t get it, why kill the plants? Just plant them on a hill and see if it grows wild! Or are they mainly for selling? Here, personal consumption is not a criminal offence, so there’s no bother is having a plant at home or carrying a small amount.

Expensive hobby shooting stuff.

Just got 100 rounds of 9mm FMJ for $35.00 - not too bad. They only had 2 boxes, I shoulda bought them both.

I think the difference is that you're physically active with your work.....whereas the only physical thing I do is click a mouse!

Finally had some decent weather over the weekend and I had to babysit the school's field as the girl's soccer team did their best to make a mess of it...

the jocks are all out of KILTer...

No, she doth drink from the furry cup

What you say Bruce?
