I’ve been down to Weston hospital today as my mother was rushed in yesterday. Anyway she was much better today although she’ll be on beta blockers for the rest of her life now, she’s not doing bad for 85 years old . I went on the donkey as hospitals are a fevking nause to park a car .

I would make it over if I didn't have a continent to fly over...anyway things would probably get tricky when I get to custom and they start asking questions...ya I'm going to Spain to visit some twat I met on the internet ...

.....when the usual blowhards like @Six30 and @busabeast start making claims that they're coming out to Spain to show me how it's done! When I announced this time last year that I had a Hernia they accused me of trying to swerve them......despite me saying I could still ride. With some discomfort admittedly, but I was able to ride. Well this year there's no Hernia to compensate for, and despite hitting 70 next month the Hospital says I'm in great shape! So.....I'm ready and waiting! And maybe @Buckster would like to take this opportunity to show us what all this trail braking malarkey is about? The ball is in your court now! What you reckon @Skippy........are they going to no-show once again?

The wife said she is a bit cheesed off because it's a sit down gig probably because most of the audience is older than the band members

There ya go , he was out yesterday having an inspirational shit

One of the Nurses I work with said something like that when I rocked up on my bike. She said "What have you bought that for you are too old to be an organ donor". Charmer she is, good laugh to work with though.

My Spanish mate has a 1200 Sportster and he rides the fucking wheels off it. Now bear in mind that he grew up on dirt bikes and picture that style of riding but on a heavily butchered Harley……….its impressive I can tell you. …………..but he’s in the minority

I have no complaints with the NHS, they had me in for a MRI when I 1st went nigh on totally deaf very quickly, and supplied me with 2 hearing aids (which are now of little use). MRI every year to keep a eye on my tumour, and regular hearing () tests, and consultations (my wife relays my answers) with the Queens Medical centre in Nottingham, they have not so far forgotten to get in touch with me, and they are always on time.

Floor/Foot boards are about as gay as it gets....those things belong in a cage! REAL motorcycles always have foot PEGS

Perfect for some of those huge long roads in USA but for UK that's just a willy waving bike.

Still a shit hole now Clive. Just with more and bigger pot holes.

nothing beats a bit of Steptoe and pizza night....

Well it was Chinese, what did you expect?

what brand ?

That's because you ride like an old woman.

Very pretty car I saw today:

The wife and the boy are in Birmingham to see Judas Priest and Saxon tonight so i was hoping for some me time but i ended up getting called out to a job in Swansea and didn't get home until 21:00 so that was my night buggered

Big Harley following here......but you never see them on the roads I go on! They just posture around outside bars all day pretending to be Sonny Barger!

I think most would say that. The shop floor doing the best they can with the trickle of cash available.

I was just jesting about the NHS saving money, the care he has had, and is still receiving is1st class, regular testing and regular chats with his treatment team, and he is happy that they are doing all that they can for him.

So he's almost as old as XTreme....

Well you know the NHS, anything to save money. He is monitored quite closely, but he is almost 74 now.... maybe the NHS think it would be a waste of resources at his time of life, but there again his mother (in a nursing home) is 101

Mine hasn't need adjusting too........oh wait a minute

racing ..

Just cleaned and lubed the chain......which incidentally, hasn't needed adjusting in the 5K kms I've done on it!

Yep, you got me there, all that I have are some calipers, you on the other hand have a pikey road train.

My brother in law has been on medication for nearly 3 years, apart from the urinating problem he is OK, but as said, the hospital keeps a very close eye on him.

I'm not a medic mate, I drive medics to do their job overnight. So I know no more than you really, but I do know people quite often have catheters temporarily and go back to normal. Can't tell you why. I would get your mate to see a doc and get tested but that is just common sense. I know we use a lot of catheter packs as I am in charge of stocking the car and write the purple scripts for them.

He will! Says something when even @Six30 says he wouldn't want him as a customer!

Yeah but that wasn't a Honda.

By comparison the POS chain on the 650GS I had needed adjusting every thousand kms. The OEM chain on those is really flimsy like a bicycle chain.

You don't go fast enough to need it otherwise I would letvyou join my trail braking masterclass.

Changing both male and female catheters is a large chunk of we do in the 111 service in Cornwall as the District Nurses don't work overnight here. You would be surprised how common it is. Fills me with horror personally.

Back in the day my Mrs had a Cinq Sporting 1.1s, absolute blast to drive handled like a roller skate. Twas made of tin foil though. She wrote it off.

Your choice in motorcycles makes you seem normal, so I will go with that!

Cheers, I'll take a look at it later.

On a cardboard bike?

Even your Chain Lube is secret?

You and your conspiracies.

One of the TRF guy's put that up on the weekend i thought one of his mates had past on as he bothers with the Harley crowd LOL.

Sad news I just heard......the great Steve Harley has died!

Well I was out yesterday young man! Doing inspirational shit!

Your weather reports are irrelevant it could be the best weather in the world and it would still be no good for you as you cant go out anyway.

Brother in law has the same, can't piss, or has to go several times per night, they have tested his PSA (high) and taken biopsies, he is on drugs, they test him quite regularly though, his doc says he is fine at the moment, they also do not want to operate because it could leave him incontinent.
