bit different to @XTreme recovery time .... cause all the cunt does is sit on his arse all day

I did a few days there a good few years back on my Speed Triple. Stayed with friends in Telford for a night and then did a bit of Snowdonia. First day was lovely, the second day not so much! I camped 1 night at a pub in the Snowdonia Park, got soaked the following day, so I gave up on the camping and stayed a couple of nights in a guesthouse in Barmouth to let my kit dry out. I then went down and stayed in a pub in Tenby and then headed back from there. Fortunately, apart from day 2, it was mainly dry. It was a good trip.

Yes, it's one of the first things you need to do when you get one. I was told by the previous owner that it had beeen done already Anyway, they are loctited and have anti-vibration washers on them now. Post 2017 bikes were done at the factory by Suzuki, it only took them 21 years to sort it out

Stopped at the garage first thing this morning to grab a baguette to have for breakfast. Stood behind some young woman who had picked up a couple of croissants and wanted to pay for them using her smartphone. Despite repeated attempts to pay resulting in more aggressive tapping of the phone on the machine it didn’t work. I’m hungry and wishing she’d just fuck off but no, now she decides to try every fucking bank card in her purse. None of them worked and I’m proper grumpy now but still managing to resist the temptation to grab her croissants and eat them in front of her. Only when there was no other option she gets some REAL FUCKING MONEY OUT OF HER PURSE TO PAY.….. Still resisting the urge to assault her for her two croissants I had to laugh when the bloke behind me pointed out that my baguette was probably stale by now.

You nasty twat.

Pete once said that I was an honorary Welshman

40 F..ing minutes to take out a blown bulb and put in a new one...... Bleeding Pugshites.

Oh I don't know !! on a dark night after six pints of cider ...............

Barmouth is a nice place to stay

I avoid that place because its so busy LOL but a good place to visit if you haven't been

I first came across his channel a few years back, when I was researching the Street Scrambler. Triumph loaned him a Gold Line edition to review. He dropped it, trying to do some off-roading on it, and he nearly got stuck in a hollow, that he'd got into, but couldn't get out again! I'm not sure that Triumph have loaned him another bike since that episode!

Gotta get the misses to an exam appointment this afternoon.... might be able to get some tree pruning in before....

Well it's back in the heat....got a little breack from the snow...nearly dropped it...but with my superior strength saved it...the dam ramp slid on the ice has soon has the back wheel was on it...

That was the issue the bike had before the Morocco trip. Plug came off when running, he tightened it and went to Morocco and back, then came it off again returning home, they should have taken that head off and fixed that or replace the head, ignoring an issue like that for thousands of km is probably what killed the engine. Destroying a plug thread probably operator error too? Seems unlikely it destroyed itself. The guy is a twat, but it does take some work to film the kind of movies he does by himself. Riding ahead to set a camera, then riding back to look like he's arriving at the location for the first time, then trying to pose around while talking, then riding off before coming back to pick the camera up.

I think it's 6 weeks off...but the work we do is physically challenging...example wheels of a half ton can weight close to 100 lbs...we will give him and extra couple of weeks to recover fully..

Maybe you have a virus.

Is this a radio shack server Pete ?

Like in sexually explicit manner..?

No, it’s because you are ginger and Welsh.

I'm trying to temp you in with things like this lol although the weather will play a huge part

Well.... I did a thing, I did a thing! So I decided this morning that I was going out for a ride on the bike, just did a short loop from home to bowburn, through Coxhoe and stopped for a quick pic at Fishburn airfield then proceeded to shit myself almost literally when I got back out on to the main road and opened it up in 1st and 2nd... walking pace to North of 130 in about 6 seconds and a power wheelie to boot and the world went very blurred until I shut off the throttle and regained my senses. Then a short while later it lit the rear tyre up at 100mph in 4th.... It's a bloody lunatic!!!

I've decided to keep the 1290...the factory warranty runs out late may...it's still not perfect..got this annoying problem since new ..low revs 3000 rpm or so 3 and 4 gear pull the engine cuts out for a fraction of a second sending a shock wave through the bike...another thing I just don't like the orange...looked at a few graphics kits but nothing caugh my eyes...think I'll be removing the plastic and have them professionally painted glossy black...to resemble blackbetty..I like the post apogeleptic look.

She's not the only one.......allegedly!

Must be really strong viagra

Hasn't really gone anywheres...I'm still a dual sport bike fanatic...just recent years all of my friends switched over to cruisers ...and the KTM doesn't like going slow ..

Gonna check if the dealer if they can re-map it without affecting warranty...thinking of getting the arrow cat delete pipe mostly for heat and weight saving...but I would enjoy it to rumble more...

Some might not agree with my colour choice..lol...black isn't always black...I think it will be one of a kind and will be sharp looking ...

Yes I've done some searching on the subject...most I think is caused by the pickup coil flywheel problem..

Oh another thing that's needs looking after is the goose neck...seems loose to me..after 10 thousand km.

@Marcel is back.

It's your ISP you thick twat! Buck and Busa have been connected for about 9 hours!

Apart from wasting time trying to get back on here no idea why i bothered lol i visited my parents my mother was 86 on Wednesday and my father was 90 today. my younger brother turned up haven't seen him in a while either.

Your all fucking twats i love you to My ISP will allow me to go to all sorts of dodgy porn sites but wouldn't bring me here what does that say about this place.

I don't have friends.....they're very overrated!

Who's playing the Spanish guitar , is it Ivan the barber or have you got another friend

Finished buttoning up my clutch on the Donkey, glad I did it now as I had a look at the NSU screws while I was in there and they were loose .

After a weekend of migrating sites I got out for an hour.

It was raining today so i decided to check on the new lane we got opened as the locals have been kicking off and there would be nobody about, The TRF were clearing it last Thursday so i thought i'd ride down it and then back up not to rub the locals noses in it at the bottom. Going down was hard going mainly because i didn't have the confidence to just let the bike go over the slippery rocks When i got to the bottom i decided fuck going back up as going down had worn me out and proceeded to the exit but found the locals have got the council to put the barrier back up and it was locked. I had no option but to go back up surprisingly the bike found loads of grip on what was the slippery rocks coming down and it was only my poor fitness that was holding me back. I had to stop here for a rest from there up it started getting hard And stopped here for my second heard attack i think i lost my soul in that washout After i got out i decided to head home i was going to be out for a few more hours but i was fucked, i think i really need to do something about my fitness or lack of it

Similar to people with prosthetic heads who wear balaclavas under their lids?
