All i can say is if he started using a bicycle at Moons age he might still be with us now calling him a cunt

Pete is turning in his grave right now and obviously calling you a cunt

First time in a MacDo’s for years. Rode to work ( lots of motorway), lovely going in, hot as hell coming back. The only thing I dislike about my Indian is the amount of heat which comes of the engine - fine at 70, awful in 30 deg heat at lights or slow traffic. After 45 mins I had to pull in to Macs for a frozen smoothy thing, which in fairness wasn’t bad. Sadly the AC in Macs was busted….:(

Stunning weather here, nothing important to do so just went for a bimble that turned out being 5 hours and 110 miles. For starters I got one of this mesh things to see it it helped Shadows ever sensitive butt. It works apparently . And yes before anyone mentions it I know it makes my bike look like a Himalayan that has had a Temu parts cannon fired at it But if it stops the moaning I will bear it. Got through morning St Austell school run congestion then on to Truro where some bell end in a white A4 fulfilled the stereo type and near rear ended us. Frightened the fuck out of Shadow who proceeded to give him her whole vocabulary of expletives and gestures when we pulled up beside him at the next lights . It’s her angry time of the month, the rage she’s demonstrated is quite disturbing. A few more miles and I took the wrong turning and rode through Penryn town centre to Falmouth. Of course we couldn’t ride past Maccies, I thought a McFlurry would calm the beast plus I needed a bladder break. We rode onto Falmouth Station car park (free to bikes) then walked down to events square for a look at the river. At this point Shadow was raging because we never fitted the giant top box for our helmets and jackets as we had to carry them. Actually I will next time I thought it was a good idea if we are going to mooch about when it’s hot. Having done Falmouth we headed further west to Helston as Shadow has never been there and I haven’t for years. More free parking Then we walked into Helston for a Costa Stunning weather but my head was glistening according to my company Suitably fed and watered we headed off to Wendron. An absolutely stunning village on the way to Redruth. Managed to get out of Dead Rough, as it’s known down here, unscathed and stopped in Scorrier for some fuel, CBF averaging 58mpg. Then out onto the new A30 and blast back to Innes Downs and home through the clay country. Stunning ride with great company, much as I moan about Shadow we get on really well and laugh a lot. The CBF is running like a Honda, a very comfortable pleasant way to travel. Will even pick up its skirts and blast along with a few revs, best £1100 I have ever spent. Now chilling, while Shadow is off down the beach with her mate, having worn me out for the day.

Mist cleared here by 9, been roasting since. Wanted to get my service sorted before the sun got to the front but failed and sweated much. I know I only ordered the chain and sprockets yesterday but I can't wait to get out on the bike again. although I nice bimble was had collecting parts on the domi.

His brother

We need before and after pics Yam, just so’s we can criticise you work

You ride a bike that looks like it was designed in the dark by @YamaHead drawing on stone with a fish.

Buckster has corrupted your mind with those gay ass harleys...

I stopped off Monday on the A505 for a mcburger and the air con was so welcome I didn't want to go back outside.

Yep, that's what they call it here so iam told, back home in the Midlands its just call fog.

It looks good with higher T bars as well, it’s a good looking bike and they ride well

Dynojet Power Vision is available for all the Harleys, the problem with the Indian ECU is that all the data is in Chinese, I wonder why?

The one with teeth?

Too bleedin hot for cycling to wrok today, itd be ok this morning but forcast is 30 ish this evening with theeat of storms… so that’s a no!

Bleedin' Hot here today....but @ least I dug out my boat from the back of the carport....wash & wax that beast tomorrow.

Steering with the back wheel....

That converts to about £87 here but our tractor oil is a lot cheaper

It looks bloody lovely in Falmouth today @Saul. I know Helston quite well as my Mum used to live in Hayle

1st full game that I have watched, enjoyed every minute.

F*ck England , I'm supporting Georgia now. What a joy they are to watch .

"Ain't gonna high-side this corner"....

On our way back from Looking Glass creek, the Mrs. & I spotted this fury Beast in the brush not far from the road....

set in the 1990s

That thing looks like it should be in a Judge Dredd movie.

Well @Specs and @Renegade are feeling left out now .

You are the official resident sheep shagger now.

Tractor oil....lol.

If you have a bucket of oats you don't have to chase them down here either

I find the oil is at a fair price ...compared to what I'm paying for the indian...the kit comes with 5 L. But you actually need almost 6 to bring it to the full mark...

I had one filter so tight i snapped the nut off the Honda filter tool, i had to fully weld it back on instead of the spot welding they come with to get it to undo the filter

Need a couple of women commenters on this England game.... cause they are playing like women , shower of shite

And I thought the fishy smell came from the sea.

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

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.

pin back your ears.... tune

I rode to work and back on a bicycle today!

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.

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.

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

Scuffling over the food I put out

Old and new.

So, a fairly clear night was forecast for Saturday when I checked on the Friday, got my plans sorted, was going to do a Milky Way time lapse at Three Cliffs Bay, spent lots of time planning the right times and spot, tides etc, then the b'stards changed the forecast, to clouding over by 11pm, dark night wasn't starting until 11:33, damn, So I decided to set up my scope in the garden instead, just in case there was some clearings between the clouds, set up all my gear and stayed up til 4:20am, it never did cloud over, not even when I got up again at 6:30am, anyway, I managed to capture this: North American Nebula - NGC 7000 only about 2,000 light years away, too dim to see with the naked eye but visually about 6 x the size of the Moon Fujifilm X-H2, Tamron 70-300mm f/5.6 at 300mm, dew heater on, 105 frames no guiding so only 72 x 2 min frames usable, 20 darks, 20 flats and 20 bias frames to calibrate, post processed in Siril and Affinity Photo. Hope you like it, I'm knackered but ain't going to bed and wasting any of the Bank Holiday, bugger that.
