See, I told you it was a Polish bike

Im not playing. If we are to be deprived of the sport of disparaging someones choice before they even have it in their possession (which should be an enshrined forum right) just because said person its too sensible to let a pack of dogs rip apart their new toy then no fair Im not playing. Yes Im looking at you too @Tango.. although at least you werent a tease. ps I reserve the right to do exactly the same thing come my turn

I made it back from the Isle of Wight tranny run bike rally. Stan the Tran was magnificent as usual. The last band on Sunday night had people quietly distributing song lyrics set to the tune of 'Stand By Your Man' to sing to him and his wife as a surprise. STAND BY YOUR STAN was a musical masterpiece. He got a bit tearful, he has had 2 rallies cancelled by Covid etc and lots of trouble getting it going again this year. Apparently a light aircraft's wheels were only a few feet above my head as I drove into rally control which is next to a grass runway. Never heard it with my earplugs in and engine running. I visited a monastery and sat in a church with orange windows on Saturday, the light inside was something else. The monastery and church were built by local bricklayers and builders using cheap Belgian bricks and it was bloody gorgeous inside. I didn't have the heart to whip out a camera as I sat inside quietly taking it all in. The grounds were really nice as well, not even an admission charge to wander around. https://quarrabbey.org/monastery/vocation/a-day-in-the-life-of-a-monk/

Turns out I have been riding right past it every time I get off the ferry.

Is it over yet ????? asking for a friend............

I'm part of a what sap group of people my age who have always had bikes in my home town. I can assure you it's a great bunch and laugh but most don't ride as far as me. Not that I'm any kind of yardstick.

BMW 700 with a big top box, huge, potentially with a back rest.

As in she would be better if she was in Poland Lol

I’m pretty sure you can see the Flouncing Bloater leap to safety just before the strike.

So given this information my best guess is a trike so the grandkids can go on it......

I've had it 21 months you twat......that's an insane length of ownership for me!

Which one is made in China?

Quite a few years ago at the same rally I was in my tent boiling a kettle on my gas stove to make a cup of tea before going to sleep. I was kneeling down to do this in the porch of my tent as it wasn't very high. I happened to glance behind me and nearly leapt out of my skin. A bloke called Graham was sitting behind me, I had not even heard him come in. He was wearing a dress (his wife's he claimed), but also had a moustache and a pipe in his mouth. I was a bit weirded out by it all. Anyway, on Friday night a bloke in a long leather coat with a beard came up to me and my friends and said hello. None of us knew who he was, despite his insistence that we knew him and him repeating his name over and over. It was the dress man. The addition of a beard had completely changed how he looked. He is the bloke wearing a monk's robe and glasses sat behind the inflatable doll in one of the pictures above. We made him put his hand over the beard and we all went, 'Oh yeah!!!!'

its got Joan Collins fanny round it neck

I shudder to think what they would do with your peg leg at that event.

That’s Bruce and Chucky’s bastard love child.

Its almost as amazing as someone who actually checked how many voted

I’m the only real biker here so time for you lot to fuck of out of this thread then fuck off some more.

Everything's better in Poland!

You do know they have better bikes in Poland .

It’s what he does best.

Sunk Bruce!!!.........Colwyn Bay getting like a war zone..

Great news, gayness is your number once pick.

That's what i meant about my cheep shot at you being cheep

A real man would get the T7, the rest on that list is chit.

All welded up now not pretty but its not going anywhere

Hey everyone, so today is my adventure departure day. Had an early start and what a beautiful day for traveling on some ferries. Overcast with some mist in the mountains. Here’s to a new chapter. Have a great weekend everyone.

1 was a mistake the other 8 were Xtremes bots.

It could be on Friday......because the forecast has changed for here and Granada!

Good for another 10 years Fred

So is Yen’s.

Of course you are Ian............. humour him children ..................

weirdos

It went dancing with some random dude at a NABD rally about 15 years ago

This is some truly bizarre shit! But at least we learned what became of Bruce!

painted today i'll put it back together in the evenings this week

I think it will be the CB500X. They are shite!

Not my one its 232kg i think the GS is over 250kg before the owners bolt another 500kg of crap to it

If it was from your youth shouldn't they have been like that for 65 years.

Well tell the fucker i want it back as it was

What chance have the public got if they listen Prime Ministers questions, and that's besides the Tory twats that are ogling porn instead of listening to the debate. Sorry, I may have popped into politics there.................

No they didnt. The public were and still largely are clueless about what's going on, they don't know what they're voting for and how can any of us when we're constantly lied to. People don't like politics, they don't want to hear about it and can't talk about it without it being reduced down to a tub thumping team sport rather than any sort of productive discourse. But then that wouldn't be conducive to power mad egomaniacs holding onto their power bases so instead we all just agree not to talk about it even though it effects everyones lives everyday more dramatically than any other influence. Politics is even a banned topic on here. This madness stems from the idea conversation is something to be won rather than an exchange of ideas or information. Folk get personally invested in an idea often latching onto the first thing they hear from whatever news outlet or bloke in the pub they favour without much further thought or research and suddenly we have a team sport that lets people who should be held accountable for the things they do off the hook just because their teams behind them... yer but it would have been worse under such n such So no no-one deliberately voted to sell off the NHS, its being done slowly and quietly largely behind the publics back.

Today I have to weld holes on the 650, last time i was out the headers started blowing since it was recently rebuilt i just thought it was something settling in so nipped up the bolts which fixed it, later on one of the lads i was out with flagged me down to say my exhaust was bouncing about it wasn't the headers settling in i had lost a bolt holding the silencer on and that bouncing about had worked loose the header pipes. so me being clever just got some fence wire and held it up with that for the rest of the ride when i got home the bouncing about had chewed up the rusty metal and made a proper hole for me to sort out So far I've Cut out a nice new plate and made a spacer for the exhaust mounting bolt to attach Ready for welding Spacer welded in place A dry run to see how it fits Back to the shed now to make the inner plate then i have some serious cleaning of the frame to get all the paint off ready for welding

haha thanks for the heads up... maybe less caffeine, more sleep and less of the dried fruit of which I just ate my bodyweight? Or maybe more. I dunno. Here's 2.13 in case anyone's killing time right now. P.S. I feel like that is a length of time which varies from person to person and according to the quality of the region's drinking water...

I wrote that. It's based on experiences of being on a forum full of wankers.
