On more interesting news, Costa is outraged at the two doves on the chimney

Oh joy I’ve diagnosed seized up cable to the push button might as well just replace the whole flush valve, it will be easier

Went out to wash my car today, the Mrs walks past and said you can do mine as well. Ok I say then she proceeds to get in my van and go to work with all my car cleaning kit in it, never mind I can do a morning on the puter as my punishment

My mate's ex girlfriend is in that, one of the oddballs being interviewed for the newspaper. She is the one who claims she survived being impaled on a metal rod because of her body fat.

Car booked in for ITV/MOT Friday morning! And next month the bike will need it's first ITV as it reaches 4 years old......bike ones are renewed every two years.

Good to see government protecting people from themselves.

Using the other one?

Thanks for a lovely weekend.

As a BMW rider you may need to take some advanced training before you’ll be allowed on a Kawasaki.

Just watched Top Gun 2 with my parents, I want a Kawasaki

Evening. Had a tooth drilled and filled for the first time today. I must of watched too many torture/confession films cos I was more than terrified, have heard bad dentist stories galore so nearly backed out but I didn't feel a thing, they give you anaesthetic and everything!

I once drove at near 40kmh next to one running through a tomato field, he kept a steady speed going that fast. Felt really fast for a pig that size.

I can confim that you DO NOT want to hit a boar... or get within about 300 yards of the bloody things, ( unless they're already on the barbecue) they are pure evil, mat black and heve eyes that don't reflect light like most other beasts so yo dont see them till it's too late...lat time a friend of mine bought me a hind leg he said it came of a 160kilo male...

it was but an old mill race ran along behind the factory and there were about 150 pipes into it running the marine engine test beds

well tell 'em to fuck of back to blighty where everything's wonmderful. , I would ( and do)

Indeed, he got tired and waited them out

France like bringing in lots of legislation...........and the French like to ignore legislation! The French are very inventive at finding loopholes or ways around rules, it's a national sport!

Bit like here then?

Consumables like tires and brake stuff is just nonsense, from a practical standpoint. But overly burocratic countries like Portugal have a way of being too restrictive on legislation to a place where legislation does not connect with the real world.

This is what the dampener looks like.

Got the Quadlock on my bike. Quite impressed with it, expensive but well made. Still waiting for the damper but the lock itself holds the phone well. I am looking forward to using it.

This just went live: UK Spain Removal Services

Feckin toilet flush stopped working properly last night, guess what i'll be doing today

ALRIGHT You feckin crazy minger losers. I’ve checked in but not posted, it’s been manic. I mean full scale loon level manic and it’s not over with for a month or so at least. And yet you twats are still in the back- and let’s be clear no credit for any of you past the very back of my mind so there’s a compliment and a half for people who I don’t know, haven’t met and will only be slightly annoyed if I shuffled off Anyhow, I’ll be back with my favourite company (oddballs like me) as soon as possible

Just his presence was enough to set the warning codes flashing up…….oh and he broke my jacket zip just by looking at it.

I can remember the 1st time I fitted TT100,s to a bike, the grip they had even at standstill, made turning the bars seem much harder to do, I checked them several times as I thought the pressures were low causing the heavy steering. Nope just more grippier.

Oh yeh.......fucking lethal!

They are looking at making MOT’s every two years in the U.K.

The southern sections may be reasonably OK, but up our end between Mansfield and Derby it is not fit for purpose, at peak times it is gridlocked (almost) and still bad in off peak times too......too many traffic controlled crossroads and junctions like the entrance and exit to the M1. Getting through Derby is a pain in the harris too.

I went when I was 9, really loved the big dinosaur bones they had at the entrance.

I’m on the sauce so if I get abusive you know why.

I'll be going to a natural museum in vegas....they have dinosaurs and Neanderthals...

I posted an hour or so earlier in this thread about my ITV/MOT!

They were talking about bringing in that type approval shit here many years ago where you had to buy genuine parts not aftermarket ones and parts like brake pads were included in that, they were even on about not changing the tyre the bike came with so if your bike came with a shit tyre from new you were stuck with it thank fuck it never went anywhere.

You you twat

Who?

The thread title is a bit misleading, I thought when I read it that the French were wanting me to teach my trail braking masterclass over there.

Lots of people on strike today in protest at the government's plan to raise the retirement age here. It's actually not affected us directly, but some folks on some FB groups complaining about various government and municipal facilities closed. I've been coming to France for many years and strikes are a regular feature here, but some of the "expats" are having a hard time understanding this!

The difference in France is that client journalism in support of the government is almost non-existent. If anything, the media is more likely to support the bikers than the government!

Exactly what I was thinking.

You mean my bucket in the garage

Repair the toilet.....or will you be going through the motions

I was in the same postcode!

You joke! Where would he be going in the dark, bingo?

Got out this morning on Miss USA , I was looking forward to see how she would run after deleting the side stand switch. I rode up the A46 towards Stroud and gave it soome beans when it was clear, smooth acceleration all the way up to 80mph so all good there. Later I took it down the rough Fosseway section with the whoops and again it was fine, no coughing, bamging or cutting out. On reflection I think that switch had been going bad for over a year but I was mis-diagnosing it as a carb problem, anyway all good now My destination at Stroud was Capels Mill, a fascinating place and well worth a visit.

………….please don’t break my motorbike this time @XTreme …….actually, I could always bring the DR600S as that’s far too hard to be worried.

Might be meeting up with @Skippy on Sunday! Weather permitting of course......but the forecast is looking pretty good at the moment.
