Well, it was a pretty successful weekend entertaining our friends. The weather held for us, but it was a bit windy. Had a nice meal at our local restaurant on Saturday evening too.

@Clive KtmMitch from Rally Raid UK did the Mablethorpe beach race on the weekend on his T700. He rode it there, raced it and then rode it home

Ill take the Beemer, £50? its a fair price for a chinese bike.

Maybe the 90mpg CB500X wasn't so bad after all?

After putting out feelers to her father (we haven't spoken directly yet) it seems the Psycho Bitch is now thinking of getting them out of Poland.......and coming here! I've said I'll put everything in place for them.....basically whatever it takes in terms of moving them, renting them a house, furniture, registration here, healthcare etc. Anybody want a deal on the Beemer? Cos it may well come to that......unless I can pull off a series of big jobs in the near future!

Now what to do withh all those big dodge pickups everyone drives around in...

This is serious, we will have to retrain a whole generation of lost youth who only drove jacket up dodge 4wd e250 deisels with overpressured oversiZed turbo's at WOT just to make billowing clouds of black smoke... Just like that the good old days are gone.

Ive got a hoist so that wont happen....famous last words mechanic might do it as he did mention it.

Good man, most seem to turn up on a trailer or in a van....very few (if any) are street legal, I must go on the last meeting of the season (27th)

I've managed to get a direct line of communication with her father and he's willing to talk.

The Citroen does about 50mpg, and as I've said before, the Beemer is just incredible at 70+ MPG. I've no doubt that on a long trip maintaining around 60mph/100kph it would probably give around 85+ mpg.

Thanks, Bob. It's at the top of the castle that's in my photo for BOTM this month. The town is Gruissan, which is about 20 mins from my place.

If I still had my Honda I reckon it would take over £100 to fill it up now, I’ll stick to Pat’s van

Sorry, first pic of what I pictured in my head. You know I know bugga all about them.

Sing along now, with I or 'ee

Good work, I hope it works out well for your family

Updates? What are you bolting to it.

@Buckster if your having a bad day at work in your bus, do you look in the mirror while driving and mutter to yourself "your all cunts aren't you " ? and then tap the brakes twice so they all nod .

Mums 325 e did 39mpg/American when i took her to Charleston SC, that was for the whole trip pretty good i dint try to go slow. Its actually better then the 35 mpg/American average of my GTR doing the same chit.

Thank you

What are normal people doing here? No freaky ginger haircuts or tats? jeez...

My scoot gets around that mpg, shame my wife can't go on the pillion.

I can't use my car any less, hardly use it now, Asda on a Tuesday, sis in laws on a Sunday, with an occasional drive into town, maybe 50 miles per week in total. In a ideal world ( wife being a semi invalid) I could live without a car.

€1.60 here for Diesel now!

Dont mean to poop on squad automatics butt that chit gets heavy with all the belts of ammo you have to carry cant a small 22 do the same thing?

If it was an eleven year old schoolboy then @Six30 would be off in the van to pick them up.

no i wouldn't ..... there is something wrong with you lot.

I think you did a great job there Grace

Yes as Yen said better to do one fork at a time

Don't undo all the fork clamp bolts too loosely as the whole bike just slides down the forks suddenly......I heard.

he's to busy knocking one out while listening to Rolph Harris singing two little boys...

Ducati and electric doesn't bear thinking about

Same here, sorry I couldn’t help. It was the needles from the bearing that fell out but its probably better to replace it anyway.

They should be moved as much as the rear has dropped to keep the bike sitting as level as it was before lowing the rear but not always possible

Hmmmm Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, It's Upton Scudamore if you don't mind . Perhaps I'll take a ride down to Nempnett Thrubwell and get a photo just for your delight

From the perspective of an Australian child raised and educated on English literature, I can't shake the feeling that you all live in a story book when you talk about riding around on Salisbury Plain and places called things like Scudamore...

I used to deliver to Porton Down back in the day, escorted everywhere after they emptied all your pockets and searched you, Amersham was the same.

The ladies are going to jump at this shit.....
