Visiting my mother-in-law tomorrow, she' s in a nursing home now recovering from her shoulder op. Sunday I will be finishing off loading the donkey for France/Italy trip .

My plans are take skye for her first ever hair cut, then there's a fayre at her nursery apart from that not much planned

I don't know if it's superior dna but I have a secret to tell you all....I never finished high-school...I knew at and early age I would never use any of the stuff though in school ...I quit in the middle of my last semester and went to work...I excel mostly in shop classes ...rebuilt my first engine when I was 16 years old ( top end of a rm 80) back then all you needed to take a automobile repair class was a grade 10 education so I inrolled myself into one...worked my to become a fully licensed tech ...working in a Hyundai dealership and opportunities came up one day to buy this repairshop back in 1997....It was a big gamble my twins were 4 years old at the time...I did the move and it all worked out in the end ....we are so busy that I pick and choose the work that I do...but my age is creeping up on me and know that at some point I'll have to slow down...

I've got to rack up 400km this weekend so I can get the bike for it's first service the following Sat....I'll try to take a few pics....planning on a 400km ride Saturday...I'll see how comfortable it is ..

Marcel later today.......

I would definitely consider it if you lived around here....you don't even need tools we supply everything...are employees never had to buy any tools .

Yes I can see that...took him 3 hours to install a phone mount with the help of his wife..

This is on this weekend but i wont be going, probably be busy in my front garden playing with a manhole

We'll be doing (hopefully) , Le Grand Parpaillon, Maira Valley, Assietta, Stella Rally and Jaffreau. This was the Sommellier (Stella route) two days ago, in six visits I've only got to the very top once because it's often blocked by snow..............

Gooooooooooooolf ️ tomorrow in Alicante followed by beer back at our bar. After that, who cares? …………hopefully the hangover won’t be too bad on Sunday.

Make the most of it, there are few days like that.

Sell it to @XTreme , he's ace on the spanners ..............

Where I see no mention of them

If you want a proper ‘adventure’ wait for the 450…………..mind you it might be a bit much for you mate?

he didnt like it ... and set fire to it at the end , worth a watch

Weather's decent........ ......but apart from that it's going to be pretty grim with the annual Fiesta going on the street, and that Gay Harley Rally half a mile away. So there'll be drunken Dagos and leather-clad rampant homosexuals marauding around the place. Thank god I've got a nice Honda to escape on! What you up to?

Nice , we're in the same spot here . My 950 and the rest of the Moobs at the top of the fort

Good luck mate and have a safe trip. We were lucky with Jafferau as it was fabulous weather on the way up but we were stopped by some police and warned not to wait to long at the top as we were due torrential rain. Made it to the top and just back to the campsite before the heavens opened.

Nope i think they melted bender down to make it

We don’t need to see pictures of you and the midgets.

No they haven't had a show there in about 20 years, a mate of mine tried to revive it but timed it wrong and it died a death. They have a motorcycle rally in the farm behind the showground twice a year now called No Bull just beer and bikes but its full of cars, vans and campers so its perfect for six30 tidy event but over the years its turned into more of a festival event so you get non bikers there who behave like arseholes.

Aye I will mate, I don't see enough of the days with her so I always make the most of it

I’ve been up Mount Jafferau but never done the Stella Alpina event…….one to do

He’s just jealous because he doesn’t have the hand/eye coordination to be able to do it. You can see it in his riding too.

Fucking Golf Faggot!

Something like this?

Got my hospital appointment for them to examine my Hernia......Thursday 13th July 11AM. So that works out nicely around the NL trip that I've got next week. Hopefully I won't have to wait too long before they do the repair!

We were supposed to sell the repairshop this summer but my partner had some financial issue with his daughter and cost him and arm and leg so we're in for another 2 years ...if anyone is interested of buying the shop ...the banks will not loan money to buy the place so will have to finance it are selfs..it will most likely go to are long time employees who served us well during the years. But I'm willing to take a reasonable cash offer if anyone interested....it's actually dirt cheap for what you're getting.

I think it's Inuit for wart on your knob ...............

Fer fucks sake Pete don’t buy a new Transalp, I don’t care what colour they do it’s a fucking boring looking bike. Dull, dull, dull. Buy something that’s more exciting such as a KTM 890 or the Husqvarna Norden 901. ………..or a Himalayan

That also happens to be the amount of time you spent on it over the year

Yup i can remember that as well come to think of it you've said that about every bike until you decided to move it on or it spat is guts out lol

I don’t know, did they model your fairing on one of those beach huts?

Did they use a pair of gogles for the outline of the headlight..? Still got the crap suspension with 2.5 inches of travel in the rear..

Fuckmine, are the American manufacturers involved in a who can build the ugliest motorcycle competition ...............

Tunnel ?

Going out after sunset then

Stop being a knob and just admit it...you like it also...the only pick that I can find comparing to a Harley...is the fit and finish is better on a Harley..

well , that is a controlled demolition of a building .

Here's a pic of the air intake ...it's located just above the rad ..center of the forks.....looks like a ram air system....don't know that will do in heavy rain...but they must have something figured out.

Yes mate , I haven't been for 12 years so better do it while I still can

Go careful @Marcel , the sheriff may send a possee out to intercept you ..............

Working...hopefully finish early today...and I'm suppose to meet with my buddy Dan he will be riding up with his new Indian ...he's picking it up today.
