He's not my type - too short.

Bimble to Newquay today, course couldn’t go on my own. My Shadow had to come and demanded Maccies, I don’t mind their coffee so worked as a bladder break for me. We had a mooch down to Fistral then up to look over Pentire. She continued to walk into every shot then collapsed because I moaned at her Grumpy Happy Again once we made it home.

Those West Country lot are weirdos.

@Marcel le Moose Fondler will go with you, you can even share a room and bed.

I can't believe how I used to throw that thing around in all sorts of shit, a very capable bike for such a beast. Nowadays the 250 suits me better

And when it was dirty he always made sure it had a good wash

The dog wanker has gone quiet, he must be cleaning the van.

Looks like the Autobots gang raped the 1250 and this is the abomination that got shat out

Yes Paul... yes you do wank dogs... you applied for that job and got it.

no .ian ...no i dont wank dogs ..im not part of your fantasies

Pack of Zeds....w/ my favorite Z1R up front....

At least you are looking more human now.

I've had what i thought was a flat spot off idle for some time now on the XR, tried re-jetting but made no difference and it's put me off riding the bike as its a bit jerky to ride on the slow stuff could never remember it having this issue in the past. The flat spot seemed worse when going down hill with a closed throttle and it suddenly dawned on me what the problem might be, so Yesterday i decided to take a look at the carb, i have a spare carb for the bike off an earlier model so dug that out to compare and after inspecting that carb my thoughts on the issue seemed to make sense, so last night i fitted the spare carb and took it for a test ride, sure enough the problem has gone, so you want to know what i think it was well the original carb has an unknown mileage on it and the throttle slide or carb body is worn so when closing the throttle the vacuum created by the engine was pulling on the throttle slide which was making it stick closed so you had to twist the grip harder to break it free making it feel like a flat spot lovely and smooth again now just like i remember, Had to do some fine tuning with the jetting tonight the older carb runs larger jets than the carb off my bike and it feels a bit more responsive. Another test ride tomorrow night as its pissing down tonight.

Twat

summertime..... really

British summer time Mind the Hobbitses Dear Boy

Drove through here just last weekend....

Pissing down sounds pretty good right now as it's been in the 90'sF here the past few days....supposed to hit 102F tomorrow. While repairing some garden tools today..... Chink P.O.S.!! Looks like it'll be down to La Grande tomorrow early to beat the heat....to see if I can locate a replacement.

One Indian and three or four KTMs? Just burn the whole place down!

You sound like Pete he would sell a bike before the tyres wore out

Maybe for you....but not all of us rack millage on there bike by being hauled in the back of a van...lol

actually ..i got pipped at the post, some midget from canada got it.

It’s shit. I watched it at the cinema as it was about to go on and I was leaving someplace right next door. Waste of time, would rather have not gone in.

Around 5,500 @ 75 mph for the CBF600, not really sure for the Hornet, I will look the next time I ride it. The real difference between the bikes is when the power comes in strong, from 4k on the Hornet from 6k on the CBF. The CBF will go well when the revs are up but the Hornets power is a lot more usable. Always one gear away from tearing it up on the Hornet often two on the CBF. I have new mirrors to put on the Hornet which I will do tomorrow I will get back to you then.

Your Shadow will think it is cool.

Small world ! It’s Antonio do Kent!

Yes it is a Portuguese fellow who is exiled in Kent.

Wait … you know the guy who handles the weekends?

your a weird fucker.

update: after 5 years of storage, i connected a battery, put some gas in it, and she fired up like she last ran yesterday. i ran it for 15 mins, and did an oil change with fresh oil, then I ran the bike for another 5 mins to get the engine coated in the new oil, and waited for it to die from lack of gas. also added a bit of fuel stabilizer just incase some fuel remains in the injectors even after running it empty. i checked the coolant overflow, there was 5 metric tons of limescale in it, as I always say, better to do the work yourself! my father brought this bike since 87' to BMW for servicing, and they put water from the tap instead of distilled water, unbelievable. i cleaned the overflow with vinegar to get all the limescale off. eventually, when I'll bring this bike back to life I'll do some deep cleaning because the coolant tunnels are probably full of gunk and limescale. as for changing coolant, gear oil, and brake oil - too much work ain't got the time, especially for a bike I'm not gonna use, as other have stated it's already been like this for 5 years so potentially if something had to go wrong it probably already did. main reason I changed the oil is that I was told it turns acidic from carbon deposits and combustion and it can damage some o-rings and such, so I put some fresh cheap semi-synthetic oil in it.

Utah trip is in 9 days and my co-rider on the trip just cancelled. Hate when that happens. Guess I'm going by myself.

It should be good for picking up leaves in the autumn.

As part of your new job?

His green shit?

I thought everyone had an auxiliary tank in their garage for testing things when the fuel tank is off. I have a small plastic one off my old strimmer (weed wacker)

Pretty sure this is near @Six30

I've seen Bob take that bike places i was thinking twice about taking my XR

Unlike Bobs bike lol

Was it because you smell like a corpse?

I watched that Sunday night Ok and very similar to the older films. I think my tastes have moved on

She does but thinks hers should be red.

Last time I checked, those were called sows....
