To of us two hours, will level it and bolt it down tomorrow or Thursday night.

In circles usualy....................... my mistake, that's swimming

Well just been out for an hour, if you want an Hooligan of a bike and something that will make you grin a lot get one of these

got out for half hour on my new bike , last thing on my mind was to keep stopping taking pics for you twats

@Six30....post a photo of you with the bike while holding today's edition of the Sun........not that we don't trust ya.......but

I sure am although it was kind of thrust on me, five years ago this month I slipped a disc at work and as I was around pension age when the insurance ran out I ended up on the age pension, I also moved to a nice little country town that I first rode a bike through in 1974, its nice in the country especially with Covid in the cities, I also drive a school bus twice a week as a supplement so life is pretty good mostly, I'll be 69 in 3 weeks.

Looks like the band is getting back together, the crazy guy on the drums is here.

Tourettes!

Going deep guys! Getting the surf for the turf!

I like to go as fast as possible into corners, unfortunately the road makers don’t put tarmac down in the field where I end up.

I have become lazy of late and have been leaving my DLSR (camera) at home and just taking my iPhone with me on hikes. Then this past year we have had a bunch of owls move into the hood. Great Horned Owls at that. I have tried to get a good shot with my phone, but it just isn't cutting it. The shots are blurry and just not what I was wanting. I needed to get the big camera out!!!!! But I also thought, a new lens has been in order, now might be the best time. So off I went on my Honda to seek out some fine Nikon glass! It was a cloudy day, so a bit cooler and with some lovely clouds over the water. I was in luck, the only local store that sells such things had just what I was looking for. Now to get out there and find my owl. I have become rather good at finding them in the forest, you have to be very quiet and know where to look, they like to sit in the middle branches and watch you walking by. I was very excited when I found one. They are getting comfortable with me so this one sat still nicely for my photo. I got a much better photo with my new lens, making for a very happy Grasshopper. It could be better, but the fun is in working on getting that perfect shot!

The first anniversary of my early retirement a couple of days ago. Got to say, I don't miss working. Feel for everyone who's life's are unsettled with everything that's going on at the moment. It's a tough time for a lot of people.

It's all about the trail braking.

I usually just charge for a whole weekend , why bother doing tricks when one big fish will pay the bills, umm, what was the question?

Cruising along, in January 2019 I packed up and moved to a small town in The Bush which was a very lucky thing to do, still have the sm which is in bits at the moment, luckily its mostly big bits so when the weather turns I'll get back onto it, meanwhile its nice to see a few familiar names, cheers.

My Russian Giant's are blooming, summer will be over before we know it.

on motorcyle related questionaires or even forum sign up pages, amongst numerous other stupid questions like "starsign" or " favorite music" they often ask " Riding style". I always reply " Yes"

There is about 340 screws all in by the time I fit the trim panels etc. but the quality is excellent and everything lines up.

not yet, no. I'm actually still almost hoping that the company will fold ( I know it's on the cards) that way I get a "licenciement economique" with a reduncy cheque of about 4 months wages, the equivalent of 70percent of pre tax monthly wage for up to a year, free or paid retraining etc etc.... As things stand I would have to stop working and pay for retraining...

Talking to yourself (almost)......only me and Tym logged on. We have been looking after our granddaughter all day............jeez, iam knackered.

Everything @zzzak said back in the day came true!

How nice of you to say.

Appointment cancelled due to insurance wont cover till septer 29th, i waved at the nurses and went home. Mums just a bit upset it took quite the talking to to get me to make this appointment, even Pete bugged me, then they pulll this

Slow in!...fast out! Oops!...sorry...wrong sort of ride I was thinking of.

Well now, there's an outfit..... Found this guy in my garden today!

I’ve spent for a while , if you got no centre stand , lubing chain and cleaning it’s ideal , from memory it was about a score I think ..

alright Nige.

The offer on the f750GS has finished now, so if I do it's unlikely to be a new one, Pete. I need to have a sit on the new Trident 660. Seems to have good reviews. But I keep changing my mind about changing the Honda! If it had a few more BHP I probably wouldn't be thinking so much about changing it.

We've never lived through times like these before Bob!

I paid extra for a centre stand on my CB500X. Some bikes can't have them now because of the catalytic converters for the Euro5 take up all the space under the bike.

Definitely.

Our lives, as we knew it, have changed a lot Chris.

Looks small and really light?

Greetings @zzzak from the Grasshopper!

Its so good to know you;re still around zzzak, wow have i missed you.

Charlie is asking can you get rid of this twat.

I don’t see the point in more than the one bike,if you have more the daughter just borrows them.

I’m already there you stupid shit, this is it here.

I can't afford more than one, and If I could I probably wouldn't. I have always preferred to concentrate on one thing at a time.

I wonder if anyone has checked the records at Clown School, student or teacher hmm

No, but it is close enough to run an extension cable to it, I am fitting a solar panel to maintain the bike battery and charge a battery for lighting.

Weather is great here, building my metal motorcycle garage this week.

Rooms at the B&B next door go for $350 a night on up... We have nice summers all the time...even our sucky summers are nice to be honest, and then spring and fall are bonitaville. Winter sucks butt fireplaces rock, so there is that. so 3 out of 4 seasons are nice here, thats not to bad.

weather's shit here too at the moment, the frogs are complaining about it almost as much as brits do.

least you've had one, not started here , rain and more fucking rain

I love my little Chinese bike, never had any problems with it. A mechanic said to me if you look after it it will be fine, people don’t look after them because they’re cheap, they’re not valued enough to bother taking care of, everyone expects them to break. I’m aware there’s plenty of evidence that they are just crap but I’m sure there’s an element of it being a self fulfilling prophecy.

makes you proud don't it?

nope, problem is really that any new job wants to pay minimum legal wage "to start with" which is basically 30% less than I currently earn.

Same with me, log on, read some of the posts, then I have things to do, I am just too lazy to log off.
