Had the grandkids this afternoon......first time since Xmas because we've been ill. We're bloody exhausted now!

I have been sitting working at a PC for too long this last year and my little pot belly has started to annoy me. So I decided to get off my arse and ride out on my push bike today. Jesus it's cold out, well for the first 10 minutes, I warmed up after that. I was only out about 40 minutes, but the uphill return definitely got my heart pumping. The local nunnery The Blackwater

They need to mentally prepare for possible complaints

Happy Sunday Today is the first Sunday in a while I have no cooking plans, I was supposed to be joining friends down in Cornwall for birthday celebrations but I’m still black n blue from the aerial skiing I’ll be staying as still as possible, well I will be right after I tackle the freezer that went kaput while we were away and was too much for the boys to deal with. I completely forgot until last night when I saw watery freezer juice leaking out of the bottom at increasing speed. Odd that all of my appliances have kicked the bucket within a year or so of each other after 20 plus years. Odd and feckin pricey!

It’s a pity there is no one here that has ever imported a bike from the USA.

Bright sunny day today - looking out from the kitchen window.

There we go again...the famous hip pose..

Hows your condense pipe

Some abandoned shite for @XTreme

Wapping Old Stairs and some modern mudlarkers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mudlark

Meanwhile, in Colorado ...

In the meantime plot a nice route and see if you can find your camera LOL

I'll admit it - I'm a whore. I'll do just about anything for money.

The 'WHO STOLE MY ROLL OF LINO" pose

1977.....

Saw On Any Sunday and went nuts on the XR

And already looking like a wrongun

My Transalp, 2006 and 2007 Cold day near home, Arouca hills Galician coast south of Vigo Serra da Estrela: Few adventures with that bike, including being stranded on a mountain by myself and leaving the bike overnight, breaking a waterpump casing also alone on the hills and being towed home, and meeting a wild wolf near Serra da Estrela. I liked that bike a lot.

I heard your Photoshop subscription expired!

Never mind, you can ride your new BSA in a couple of months time

no i still have a bit of work to do with the power supply to my garage and big shed it is wet here but not raining

The only time my arse has touched a bike this month is when my chain block lowered it onto the seat but if my excellent lake photo is no good for your precious bike of the month that isn't either

Fowlers rang yesterday, said they'd heard from BSA and are expecting delivery on the 1st/2nd Feb. Said it may well take a couple of weeks from that point to prepare the bike (what do they do exactly?) but he'd ring as soon as it arrives so I can go have a looksy

Grass fed donkey, though

A favourite, using Alentejo blood sausage and herbs from my garden. proper cozy food for a cold January dinner

Whenever I fit a harder mixed use tire it seems to be raining for the first 500 kms

Walked from Cowes to Newport and back today along an old railway track now cycle path. As usual not much to take a pic of but did find this old kiln site. Last time here I never spotted this but guessing it was hidden by the leave which are now everywhere other than where they should be.

By accessorise do you mean lift the fuel tank up and replace whats underneath it with another bike

I spoke to a guy who rode it and he said it felt a bit low on HP at the top end but it had excellent torque even though it had less than 200 miles on it, it’s possible that the HP situation will be a bit better after break in.

1978.....I was 24!

back north when I used to race around a closed loop near the beach, half sandy fast stuff, other half with a couple of jumps and corners made by the army’s engineers for practice with earth moving machines This was 2007

Theres a thought.

If only you had a nice BMW

Is that Murphy’s cousin?

Can't wait that long Bob, something has to come out of the garage (other than a defunct freezer ) next week.

Over here that's called 'sod's law '

Haven't ridden since before Christmas, the withdrawal symptoms are severe

Complaints at Fowlups are like water off a ducks back.

@Sir Fallsalot I'm presuming you haven't got out on the bike then Fred ? I had a look outside at 07.30 and thought stuff that. Might ride to work tomorrow .

This section is for all your workshop and technical questions and reports for your motorcycle. So questions from how to replace a fuse, fit a screen or a rack right upto full engine rebuilds go here. We have some good wrenches on the forum who can help. Also feel free to post reports of what you did to your bike today including any problems you encountered and how you overcame them.

Blimey makes Blighty seem warm

Think it was 4.7 miles on the path. Time we got back we’d covered 11 miles and no one single moan from the girl. Would have been a different story 10 years ago.

Yebbut you can almost see my house from yours ............

Fer fucks sake, I’m only going to have a look at one…….that’s if they’ve got one to look at!

I did do one day in the pissing rain, on small town tarmac roads covered in thin layers of slimy mud and occasional rainbow coloured oil slicks. This is when you ride very slowly, very very carefully and with your wedding tackle retracted to keep it from damage in a fall.

And today we had 4.2 kgs of cuteness!!
