I don't think I have mentioned it but it is Fowey Regatta Week at the moment. Tis sort of a big deal for us Yokels. Anyway spent my day across the water in Polruan yesterday with some life long friends. Good day if a little pissed and sung out by the end of it.

It is a good sized display, buy I do not think I would pay £18..50p out of my own pocket to get in... These are the best of the photos, David Bailey I ain't. We had a nice ride back through the country lanes, passed through a couple of new to me villages, the temp was just right for riding,

What the hell, you can’t say that! Harley is woke now, you will have to make love to him. And cuddle.

I just had a seance with @XTreme , he spelt out a message for you ............... YOU'RE AN ANNOYING CUNT !!

Aren’t you due a flounce?

The back yard at sunrise today...

I drove the grils to Paris for a concert last night. What a nightmare place to dive, eben if you know where you're going. The concert wa sat the salle "Pleyel" which is only a few hundred yards from the place de l'étoile (Arc de Triomphe) so I knew I had to be on my game, driving wise. The Place de l'Etoile, for those who have never had the pleasure, Is a big roundabout, it has 11 roads coming on and off and as many lanes on the actual roundabout as you can fit cars into cos there's no markings on the road surface ( which is cobbled, by the way, so real fun in the wet...) ans it is "priority to the right. This means that vehicles coming ONTO the roandabout have right of way. Parisiens know this, but as about 40% of vehicles there at any one time are not parisien, or even French, this adds an interesting dimension to the circus.... It is, I would argue, one of Frances finest examples of fuckwittery. On the way home, having succesfully negotiated the clusterfuck that is the Place de l'Etoile for a second time and mad it as faroutas the peripherique I discovered that the outer ring (the one I needed to use) was closed. No signs, no warning, no deviation signs, nothing. Just a line of cones acroos the entrance ramp with a signsayng "peripherique exterieur fermé" and 8 million cars tring trying to figure out WTF do do now. Obviously any gps is useless because they all systematically send you onto the peripherique. I ended up navigating through the parisien suburbs at 1 in the morning by compass FFS! untill I found a link through to the the A6. Also, Paris sticks of piss.

Maintenance on the Beta tonight. new pads front and rear and a new Michelin Enduro medium tyre on the rear, re-lubed the front mousse and that's not the kind of moose lubing Marcel does

See below. If this wasn’t next level moderating by me, I don’t know what is. I hope you two have a lovely time. You’re just weird. And you come across as you giving too much thought into Buckster’s parts. This was a nice motorcycle workshop thread too, with pretty pictures and everything. You lot should be ashamed, bots are starting to complain!

That’s true, I will endeavour to gently coerce him into a inclusive and loving situation that may involve a bat and a disused coal mine.

She's got the hots for you @Saul ............

I’m with VW, what do you or the people at your work know about electricity and cables? Better leave it to VW

Had three days of over 750 miles per day - those were a bit less than fun towards the end of the day. Most other days were less. Trip was 14 days with three days off of the bike to rest up, laundry, oil change, etc.

Haystack Rock @ Cannon Beach, OR....

Naa, my buddy had 2 free entry vouchers.

I'm sure he's looking forward to your arrival already ............

Well it rides well, vibration is back to normal and hot starting is no problem, the hot starting was definitely becoming a problem and is classically caused by the compensator binding up. Will go on a long run tomorrow. I might go down south and rape @Six30.

and formed your own crowd...

Is that all the locals avoiding the regatta? Something similar happens at cows week.

My tracer rear's not far from that but it has done 10,000 miles.

It just seems to be a casting lip, earlier bikes don’t have it.

Where's that spoon

How did you guess?

Definitely on the Destination BucketList....

It's not rape if his pants are down and he's bent over all lubed up when he hears you arrive

He just said he might rape you , he didn't say what with and where .......

surely threats of forced anal and getting bummed into the middle of next week is a yellow card

It's a lease hire car so we are already looking for compensation for not being able to use it until sorted, we wont mention we have another lead we can use

Bloody stupid, play up and you'll get a result.

It's probably the charging point we installed at fault not the lead

AI is getting crazy!! I found a site where you create videos from an image. To test the thing I used this picture and added as a prompt : "rider takes his hand of the handle bar and waves to the camera" This is the result : I wasn't expecting it would make the tree branches move nor the bike!

Thank God for those youtube videos...you'd probably would have fucked everything up...lol.

Don’t know. Here is a diagram of the old one.

Sort of, the Regatta is in Fowey so we all went over to Polruan for a bit of relief from the crowds. It happens every year.

dont think thats a very christian thing to do....

Looks like Harley has trown in the white flag with the DEI agenda...I think this shouldn't stop us from doing this here...what better message to give are viewers than have and admistrator with a bike that looks it came straight out of a sexshop?

It’s amazing how some people get so much inside their own bubble that they forget a big part of society doesn’t share their opinions. And it’s even more amazing when some of those people are in charge of companies that would do well to stay way clear of having an opinion on those type of issues.

Personally , I think you need to see a shrink ........ .

What was the point in the lip in the begining ?

The old one is springs in a cup and ramps on the cogs, the new one uses a set of eight cushions of two different densities.

Is there only springs in the old and new compensator? Prob better than the dual mass fly wheels they're fitting in cars as most of them shit themselves and throw the inners all over the bell housing and in the starter motors.

Eric didn't mention the fancy hotel was dog friendly. Americans spoil their dogs? Says who? By the middle of the trip I was a little nervous my tires weren't going to make it, especially the rear one. But I got home with a few hundred miles to spare on it. Well, sort of. Technically it wasn't to the wear bars but I replaced it anyway. There were signs. Before I left the bike had 2100 miles on it. Internet reports said these tires were good for 6500 miles and up. Well there were a couple reports of more like 3500 but some guys just can't have nice things. I figured I'd be at 4500 miles when I got home so no worries. This is at just under 4500 miles, I would have replaced them sooner had I been home. No, I could not recreate this photo with the new tire installed.

It's a ominus sigh...leafs are already loosing the green...to bad I can't sell these berries...I'd make a fortune this year...trees are loaded...
