You love a drama don’t ya! It does start but it’s intermittent, going to squirt WD40 into the switches and ignition to see if that helps……… @XTreme is a fucking Jonah

I had a good ride out, headed over the bridge to the kingdom of Fife and then the old Kincardine bridge and towards Stirling before turning and travelling towards St. Andrews along the southern edge of the Ochils range. Then headed back. I must try to remember to put the Gopro on. Anyway here is a picture from the abandoned Sauchie Tower, Pete would have creamed his pants.

You have a point, if even a bike jonah like you can’t break it they must have something going for them

I'm back! And as tends to happen when @Skippy meets up with me he had bike problems! Just got to wait and see if he gets home OK.......or whether it's Grua time! I told the dumbass Cockney to get a CB500X a year ago.......but he never listens!

Didn't need to do that it is only a small job, Rain has stopped and the job is done but i got soaked in sweat because the sun has re appeared making the air very moist, now i need some cooler weather to point it all

So what's he done this time? Or was it the sight of you getting bent over that broke his bike again

I would … imagine the claim up you could have after he’s knocked me into the middle of next

I'm off to meet up with @Skippy in Oria (Almeria),

I can do one for @XTreme mr Bean with a Welsh accent

Six?

Strange ride report cos there's not many pics as we didn't get that far after I met up with @Skippy. The vid tells the story better! I went over the mountains to get to Oria (Almeria province) to meet up with him. He'd come up from the south to avoid the Autovia. It started going belly up when the cafe we were supposed to meet up at was closed (Lazy Dagos) so I had to ride through this particular one horse town to find him. Once I met up with him he was in a right two and eight cos his FZ6 was having a fucking laugh! It wouldn't start! He eventually got it started so we rode down to Tijola to get a coffee! And that restaurant was closed as well. But he did get to see the locomotive...... Here's the slag trying to find a way to half inch it..... Trying to pull away from there wasn't easy cos there was a classic car and bike meet going through. Probably about 50 including an E-Type and a Roller. No idea where they were going though, and we couldn't take the risk of following them off the main roads in case Skippy's bike threw a wobbler again. So we went to a cafe on the main road, which just happened to have a mint 1360 Herald outside owned by elderly Brits. Strangely, they were nothing to do with the Classic Car Meet though. Very nice people......of course the bloody Cockney then stepped in and told them that his mate (probably the snout on his manor) had a Herald back in the day and the engines were shit! There was also a load of young Spanish bikers there.......wearing Power Ranger suits in this weather! They didn't bother with us at all. Didn't even acknowledge us. If they were older guys they would have.....but some of them we saw looked like they were still shitting yellow. After that, I headed left in the direction of Baza.......and Skippy went right to head towards the coast road! It was about an hour and a half trip for me and about 2 hours for him. Seems he got back OK by keeping the bike running.......but now it's back at his house the fucking slag won't start. How many times can Reestreno do him up like a Kipper? It's all come on top for that Cockney you know!

Probably got his junk stuck in the air intake

I’ve just bought a shelter cos spending time here has made waiting for a non-rainy day in the UK annoying. I didn’t notice it before but now if a dry day appears on the forecast all I want to do is ride my bike but they’ll be sodding jobs piled up that can only be done outside waiting. Riding instead of doing the job you’re supposed to do is fine at the time but as soon as it’s over you’re back to hovering over the bastid forecast again! Immediately after I bought it I discover xlmoto do the same sort of thing but much cheaper

I was chasing the black mortar out of the last bit of stone wall in the front garden ready for pointing but the heavens just opened, so back here bumming around. Forecast says it might dry up a bit early evening before the thunder storm so hopefully finish it later on.

Yep MOTY candidate for sure. If there was a comedy award Six would walk it. His love of pricking pomposity and slicing through anything even semi serious with a funny line is pretty feckin sharp. I don't think there's even a rival on that score.

No......i've got good advice! Firstly, get yourself a nice Grua! Then get it back to the dealer and out it! Though I've got to point out that I take no pleasure in seeing a Yam on a Grua! One of mine went on one in 2015!

So has Pete so kindly confirms, the bike ran fine all the way home, but now will not start. The battery is completely dead. I’ve put it on the charger and that confirmed the battery is fucked. If so, here’s my thoughts. If the battery was fully charged this morning and we’ve done a 300 km round-trip, the battery should still be charged when I get home. Because it isn’t, I’m thinking it’s possibly the rectifier/regulator which is fucked as it has not kept the battery charged during the day. Clearly @XTreme will have some less than helpful advice but I’m hoping @boboneleg may have?

Bloody hell, now even I'm wondering if she has good tits

Holyfeckinmoly they must have been BOILING! I'm cold blooded (the aircons currently on 25 and my feet are freezing' ) but I only wear a mesh jacket in this weather. Bet their gear stinks!

If I wanted drama I'd get another GS! And I know your next move.......you'll tell the wife you need another bike cos I said so. And I'll get the fucking blame for it.

He just messaged me that he's back. Kept it running all the time.....got it back and now it won't start! There could be a Grua in his future you knoW!

Well you could have put up a shelter and kept going what's wrong with you, it's only abit of rain

If you survived

It's all there Pete. The solutions he comes up with that sometimes involve him making a part that actually works and does the job. His ability to laugh at or with the most annoying crap without getting his hair off. The lovely photo's with (IMO) just the right amount of colour enhancement. He does TRF rides and people come back for more. And lastly he rides stuff that most people on here wouldn't or couldn't. So yer it's in all his posts, if you read them Pete rather than skimming everything and just posting something about Brexit

What....it's native for where the white man lives ...

Nothing at the moment....pleasantly happy with the challenger...took the KTM out for a little bimble the other ...dam she's un- comfertable...I must be getting old..

Leathered up thinking I was in ChiPs at Abergavenny Bus Station circa 2000, ish

Cheers for that I’ll give it a go.

Six has a leather tank top for sale.

Yeah don't want to get too moist, that wouldn't do the cement any good

I seem to be in your crosshairs lately

Tricky. He could be a rival for an imaginary comedy award but he's more big laughs than consistent cuts, not the same as putting people back in their box with a one liner

Now now, you shouldn't say things behind peoples backs you wouldn't say to their face imagine that..

MOTY potential then? While @Six30 doesn't seem to have anything going for him? Surely his Van Action threads must count for something?

Did you wear chaps back in the days..?

Pissed Bloke LOL

Yep . And didn't those things hold the water when it rained. We used to call it trench Ass.

I made it 20 mins into the first episode and thought Fuck That, annoying people.

Ridiculous that the Argies still have a full team………..loving the drop goals though, how fucking irritating for the island invading twats.

And now here's one for the Buttster.
