The Mrs. & I will be fine tuning the ergo's on her trike today....& then possibly a Ride on this optimum-weather day. Then prepping for our 2-night camping trip beginning on Monday....Destination here:

Started my weekend off cleaning the bikes with Shadow. Well she just about managed to do her own but she is keen and willing to learn. Got her checking her chain/oil/tyre pressures. I also cleaned the Hornets and even did my boys ped. Came up surprisingly well considering it was covered in green algae. Skanky tit.

I used to wear jeans like that when i was your daughters age not because it was the fashion of the time but because i was a scruffy cunt, who knew it would catch on and i was one of the pioneering trend setters

I got the apology I was after. Thank fuck for that really, I would have had to travel to Plymouth or Exeter for the next Honda dealers.

Never! ridden this scoot in the dark (how sad is that ) ...there again I hardly ride it at all ...so I ain't got a clue if the headlight is good, or bad, I just know it works.

I may be riding down to Carlisle on Monday with a Indian owner, he now has to take the bike to another country to get it serviced.

I was ripping the piss out of her because she had her safety boots on yet wore jeans full of holes.

Just got in, been out fettling and fitting my birthday present to the bike. You wouldn’t think something so relatively small would need so many boxes Also the boys ped actually clean for once. I got to look inside it, looks like mental illness to me. And no I didn’t touch it, prolly some vermin living in there.

Our Yukka plants have just started flowering, it’s almost like they’re protesting as they will get turfed out when the ground workers start on Monday

You have to be careful of haggis here, especially during mating season.

My other job today was the wipers on the Dacia, passenger side wiper is forever juddering I bent the arm this way and that way, still juddering. So today I took the arms and plastic cover off that covers the mechanism, as soon as I did. I saw 1 broken (cast alloy) bracket, I think Dacia deliberately made it a thin casting so it would break easily Bodged a bracket out of a piece of steel which I bolted to the housing, motor and mechanism solid as a rock now, but the wiper is still juddering, a bit!

in the words of pete........

yeah the higher ups dont have a clue no matter where you are in the country, but im on the sweeper now full time so dont have to worry about what happens on the dust side, generally im left alone to do my round

Prob shopping again at some point tomorrow. Mandi's off again Sunday so I might go round my older sons to watch the F1 and bum a roast dinner.

Weekends just a normal day for the retired.....so like any other day I expect I will be As well as watching the BSB from Oulton Park.

We have Deer around here, when I was working I use to see one or more of them wandering down the road and on the grass verges most mornings....

Me and the wife are travelling down on the Friday staying at The Oaks Holiday Park, will be having a mooch about on the Friday, riding Saturday, and home Sunday, there's about 30 of us descending on you all TRF members

Fuck me that is close?

its electric ill leave it alone.... dont know any magic and if the smoke gets out the wire im lost..... i can change a bulb but thats as far as i know and will probably ever know

When i changed the dash lights to LED on the old Africa Twin the side stand and oil pressure light came on every time i was out in the rain there was enough of a connection across the switches when wet to make them light up swapped them back to stock after that

I'm going to be trail riding in your neck of the woods the last weekend of the month hope i don't need your services while i'm there

That's a good job don't listen to the tards on here LOL i have a lot of respect for our refuge collectors but the council who run them are fucking idiots they have stopped emptying wheelie bins now and will only take 3 Shirley Bassey's every 3 weeks which is just not enough twats.

BEAST of an off-roader....

KR & Mamola goin' @ it....

That front sprocket can't have anymore than 6 teeth

Hope he's busy enjoying himself and nothing more.

Still sunning it up … it’s fucking hot here , around 32… 3 weeks ago it was touching 50 .. and humid .. talking to a few xpats they said it was unbearable

Awesome place to Heli-Ski.....the Chugach mtns in AK....

SawTooth mtns. in ID....

These have been on 5 or 6 months, were fine at 1st, then started the juddering......I have a Halfrauds voucher for £20, that may get me 1 Bosch wiper blade.

Ahh right sorry Bob i remember you telling me that before LOL

You might have to fit new wiper blades, i done that when mine were juddering the new ones fixed the problem even though the old ones weren't that old, i thought they must have been a shit make. When i looked back at what i bought last time they were the same ones the new ones have been on twice the time of the old ones now and are still good for some reason.

My commute this time of year sees me riding into work in the dark. Don't mind really as both my bikes have decent usable lights. But add into that wind rain and fog and things are not so much fun. Riding in tonight had all 3 and was down to 50 mph on the A30 as I just could not see. I must say the CBF is very stable in cross winds, pretty planted given the strength of the gusts, not sure the Hornet would be so. Anyway I was thinking what the fuck am I doing this for, love biking but conditions do have an impact. Felt like the car would have been the better choice tonight. I am sure my morning run home will make up for tonight's discomfort. Anyway to the question do many of you habitually ride at night or avoid it?

Extension at the back of the house.

We are staying near Looe

Stump-Puller gearing.....the kind that keeps you kissing the front fender...

MY kinda Riding....

Lower Imnaha river canyon....

Looks like a fun Beast to blitz on.... interesting motor configuration....

Hope to see some of this next week....

it has h7 at the mo, though i think the main beam is an LED which is proper shite, its led in the dash and its blinding

You have no choice in Scotland, very short hours of daylight in winter so riding in the dark is inevitable.

I avoid the dark on the TDM as the headlight is pants, Tracers is good but still prefer daylight.

I used to ride anytime, anywhere, & in any weather condition....TBH- I still miss that @ times. But I think I'm along the same lines as Fred....when the conditions are right, riding at night can be quite pleasurable.
