Yeah, not half bad for a guy w/ 5 thumbs & can't run a smarty-phone to save his life! Being a CAD jockey since '92....does have it's advantages.

I don't like Stella. 6 or 7 Fosters to get pissed!....3 in my case, proper lightweight me. Sat on the patio now, downing Estrelle, that I do like.

Having a bit of a perv there Clive are we …

Day 2......some kind of record ☀ For us

Her arms and legs have not seen the sun since 1975.

Another genius trying to ford the river yesterday. Nobody hurt.

2-Wheeled Ditch-Witch....

@Clive couldn't see her but he could smell her.

I bet you were the only one to spot her, I'm going back for a look, in case it was a couple of your crayons.

You quite obviously don't care about her at all.

She is encouraging you to spec up the CB ready for when it is hers.

No chance of anything else being out in the sun....... or under any form of light

Don't think it was the arms and legs he was thinking about.

that looks a clean DRZ

If she's anything like my daughter that's a scheming smirk, she's planning something. Patch lead arrive and, Got one off eBay before I went as the rabbits have had fun with the original. Can't suppose the seller would have known it was dodgy. Original back on and awaiting chain and sprocket kit. Noise from the chain was down to worn links where O or X ring seals missing and worn. I'm guessing they didn't like one of the chain sprays I've been using.

Lovely weather clive..... just wondering... do you think the mrs will be doing any sunbathing today ?

Is the BMW still in the back of the van though?

Bike got me home yesterday with only one hick up 20 miles from home? Will have to wait from my patch lead to arrive before I have a clue to what's going on. Dropped the oil when I got home too.

What? That's sacrilegious !

So today after church I headed out to get some new summer gloves, my short leather gloves are a little warm on days like today so I wanted some that were better vented, I found these in 3XL which were perfect for my big tall person hands. I needed to test them out so I headed out of town, I got them at J&S on the south side of the City so I headed south and made my way into the borders down the A68 before turning off and heading to Coldstream, about 70 miles. I looked for the Coldstream Guards but they were hiding so I went to the CoOp and got a sandwich and drink and headed to the park to sit in the sun and enjoy this culinary delight. While there I founds evidence of the guards. I sat on a bench overlooking the River Tweed the centre of which is the border between Scotland and England. I also had a nice cigar after my picnic and sat and watched Kingfishers, Herons and Otters down in the river, unfortunately my phone camera wasn’t up to the job of taking those kind of photos but it got me thinking of getting a decent camera. Then I started thinking of heading back.

Blood transfusion day. I was checking back through the CBF’s service history and its last oil change was at 28k and it’s now cracked 32k. Shouldn’t be a problem as the service intervals are 8k I thought until I checked and the last service in the book was done in 2019. Anyway I dropped into Dameralls today so picked up a filter, oil and crush washer. It was £69 fucking quid. Every fibre in my being wanted to say stick it up your pipe but I think more in shock than anything I just paid up and left. Won’t be buying it there again. Anyway did the deed tonight when the sun went in. Why are the sump plug and filter always done up with fucking gorilla strength FFS. It’s lucky I have the proper Honda filter tool as I genuinely don’t think I could have gotten the old filter off without it.

No crayons involved … only @Clive binoculars

there is always one ..... dirty boy

pin back your ears.... tune

I rode to work and back on a bicycle today!

The problem is she wants to upgrade it to a Red CBR650R, which isn't on the cards. She told me today that I should get one because I deserve it . I am totally happy with what I have but she has plans.

She's always planning something Problem is she's knows she is the golden child and that I am essentially way to soft with her.

It was pretty nice but had been well detailed. Definitely see it was used, plenty of age related stuff, plus 08 with 19K on it I thought £4000 was strong money for it.

Just got back from Bridlington, it needs some urgent improvements, I think a bulldozer would be the best option..... Scarborough tomorrow, which is only a small step above Bridlington....I may race around Olivers Mount race track while we there.... is it possible to go fast in a Dacia?

Good one Bob, better than I thought they'd be at the weekend. This was the first song, not this recording, set the tone for their set.

Another good one for the woods...

Definitely had what it takes to be World Champ....gone too soon....terribly missed....

Just been out for a cheeky 75 miles bimble on the CBF with my Shadow. Partly to try out my new screen and partly just to be out there. Dropped into Dameralls for an oil filter and a few bits. Obviously Shadow had to have a Sausage sandwich then got all unnecessary because boys in Dameralls. Did crack a smile for once. Chuffed to bits with the new screen massive improvement over the stock one and with the deflector much quieter as well. Actually hear the bike keys rattling at times and stuff in my tank bag moving around. Much more road noise as well but that was obviously masked by wind blast before. We then set off for Bodmin Scooter Centre as my boy needs a new rear tyre for his Ped. Then home. Gonna wait for the sun move so I can service the CBF. To Scorchio out there at the moment.

That’s why they do them that way.

There's always someone worse off, £6.80 at the festival.

I’ve never tried Stella. I knew a Stella once, too

It's a campsite of sorts, you've got a freezer? Take your own beer cans, twice as much as you need and just offer one to the neighbor and make a friend! A couple of sandwiches or pork chops and that's the evening done!

He has Stephen Hawkins old chair.

Aren't you due an amputation?

I don't know why I bother.

The "Samuri of Slide" on my favorite Yamaha...

It is obvious that Fred has never been here because the sheep don’t run away. After heading over the tops I started towards Gifford and was greeted with views towards the Firth of Forth and the Bass Rock. Also something familiar to Fred. More of what you all want of course. I have a picture of my Thruxton R at this same spot a few years ago. Then I headed home via the takeaway. I was a good afternoon ride.

I wanted to ride the Lammermuir Hills as it has been a while and the last time was well before I fitted the new shocks. I headed over some nice twisty country roads and through Duns before turning off and heading for Longformacus and up into the hills. Miles of single track roads with little traffic and a few cattle grids and many sheeps. This was looking back from where I had come from. This was where I was headed. The views were spectacular as always. That is Watch Water Reservoir in the distance.
