She’s in the van

Well as I part-ex’d one I have got it down to three

I was expecting a pogo stick.

Up early, off to Leeds

Nice one Bob I guessed it would be one of these especially as your working in a Ducati shop Is that an oil stain underneath it

Beautiful van ... Nice bike to

Me too.

What a surprise! Looks good!

Best part of my TAT trip was me saving a goat The rest of it I felt like falling asleep.

I don't get it, why make an engine out of a smooth architecture and then make it unbalanced in order to make it feel like another architecture? Seems wrong to me, seems too hipster. EDIT: Also, why just caring about the 270º cranks? Why not mention the crank position in all engines? Fucking hipsters!

You can stuff your batteries that murdered how many children in Africa?

Is it a Ducati?

What happened to reducing the number of bikes Bob?

It’s too pretty to ride off-road and ruin it Pedro, so I’ll stick to tarmac or gravel in this @Sir Fallsalot is laughing now as he’s heard me say that before

Something for Pete's wank bank.

Looks real nice id like to try that out.

That’s gorgeous. And not what I was expecting. Dunno why

Just seen this, how's that for a list of problems in the first year. https://londonbikers.com/t/one-year-old-today/113289

This tape was recorded in 1981 The equipment was made before 1979. The video was recorded from a cellphone. I've never had this 1080 past 80 watts and stay in the room. You can feel it outside. HPM-100 200 watt version are mint a 10 out of 10. The 1080 clips at 132 watts and that GX is the cats pajamas 6 heads you can keep your CDs. Have 2 SX1980. The killer of all receiver's can get 7 to 8k for each all day long.. yes I have a thing for the old stuff and the music was just as awesome. Disco Turn it up all the way.

Grass fed horse cock, if you please

Does anyone still deny this is happening? Got to be some nut balls in America I imagine, or @zzzak after a week on the baggie. Anyway the highest recorded temperature in Edinburgh was in 2019 and was 31.6 Celsius, forecast for this Tuesday is 32 Celsius. Gingers will die.

SX-780 1980 the owner brought it for 395.00 and it worked fine until this year. He sells it to me for 90.00 and I repair it and recapped the power supply and filter caps and turned it up and sell it for 800.00. 45 watts as Pioneer list it but this unit hits 56 watts before clipping. I send it out knowing that it will last another 40 years. No they just don't make them like this anymore...

Don't panic anyone it was me. Sorry about hacking your account. You can have it back now.

Every manufacturer has lemons now because everything is built to a price, my old CB1000 I consider one of Honda's last top quality bikes everything since the 90's has all gone down hill.

I learned from Pete.

There’s no flies on you

You are the laughing stock of the bike world.

He bought two new ones in a month......then went fucking mental!

Rectum Stretching of the worst kind Marcel!

I was able to change my vote so now i was right.

Needs a 270° crank.

Not if you love goats, great little brush mowers they are and i have 50 acres of farmland to grow legal weed on.

If I'm too much for you all kick Tyms butt he made me come...

I've got feelings too, man!

I can't think of any real lemons I've owned, I've had problems with lots of bikes but just fix them, but my dull mate bought a new Africa Twin a few months after me and had a long list of issues Sticky set button. I had that as well but not had a problem since it was replaced Sticking hazard warning button water running down the inside of the clocks 3 sets of replacement wheels due to the protective coating falling off the spokes Paint flaking off the frame Corrosion coming through the paint on the engine Rusty ABS sensor disc front and rear Rusty brake disc centre's And rust showing up all over the place on the frame That's what I can remember off the top of my head I'm sure there's more, that was all within 6 months from new but it never broke down. The best thing that happened to that bike was a tractor reversing over it in Sennybridge that took in out of the system so no one else would end up with it. He bought another one 6 months old once he got paid out still owns it now 5 years on without a single fault.

It will last forever now. Pete will be broken down sometime and this will ride past adorned with a greasy dago and a leggy blonde.

For my nightmare it wasn't a bike but a car ....namely a seat ibiza cupra 1.4tsi jobby. Bought it brand spanking new on the first day of ownership it developed a rather annoying gearbox fault in that if you pulled up to a junction or set of lights and selected neutral (8 speed dsg gearbox) and tried to select drive it would shit itself requiring a switch off and back on to get it working again. Straight back to the garage for a software update..... which did actually sort it. Roll on a couple of weeks in to ownership I notice it was using oil (checked on the dipstick from cold and always in same location) so I took it back to the garage to be told nah mate can't see any issues and that it had only consumed around half a litre but when told I'd only done around 100 miles that week to and from work it still didn't register as an issue with them) So I take back the car to use but I kept a very keen eye on the dipstick before each drive to measure when it dropped and the worst day was after a 7 mile drive to work check it at home before leaving it was at the top mark on dipstick when I came to leave work I check again to find it didn't even register on the dipstick so off back to the garage on the way home for them to top up with 1½ litres, and still they wasn't fazed by the 7 miles I'd driven between checks even though I said there's no way that is within spec for oil consumption but they took it with a pinch of salt so away I drove again after they topped it up. It continued in the same vein week after week so God knows how much oil it actually consumed but I'd say 100s of litres in the 18 months I owned it. At the 9 month mark I took it in with oil literally dripping out of the tail pipe so I asked them if it was supposed to be doing that and got told it was just soot ......I didn't know soot dripped I had well and truly had enough by this point so I gave them an ultimatum that they either change the engine or I'd drive it through the front of the showroom so it had a new engine and turbo. Prior to this I was told it was my driving I was racing it from cold but with video footage they then told me im not driving it hard enough......wtf The final straw was on our Cornwall holiday journey when in torrential rain on the m4 the wipers just cut out completely needing half a dozen fuse changes to complete the journey. After that I got the car recovered from Cornwall and replaced with a hire car and told them I was walking away from the vehicle and finance. It's put me right off owning anything new vehicle wise

twat

Pedro has some horse cock casserole in the fridge you can have.

did you go to the Highlands

He will have to change his name to @Plumbbob..

But if he goes anywhere near a building site he'll be used and abused to make sure everything is true and level, could be funny to watch though

Bob, Reading your balance thingy on another thread. I fall over backwards if I look up at tall buildings for too long, an age thing I reckon. Same with riding the bike, some days I have excellent balance and other days I can do nothing right. Anyway, screw a little plastic spirit level on to one of you legs, I think you know which one, you've always struck me as the sensible sort. Now you'll always know by looking down if you're leaning to one side without having to rely on your own in built balance.
