Went to the office today, here's the view at 07h20...

Kills me how he is so cool and happy even going through shit, and then we have to leave him to have stuff done when he's scared and not understanding what is happened and why he's being left. After the first time it happened I make sure to sign everything on arrival. If I do it on exit all the paperwork gets tear smudges ...

Not exactly the sharpest tool in the box is he?

Six30 has open up and new side business ?

Went to visit my bike today: It's now very lightweight. Bearing and gearbox kit is arriving so the plan is to have it back together during the weekend.

so he turned you all in to raving homosexuals then.

He is a stunning dog Pedro, as long as he is happy, eating and not in pain there is no reason to rush into anything, I so hope the scans give some hope.

Swimming pool. Jacuzzi and Health spa.

Good luck with tomorrow mate hope all goes well

Don't you mean a collection of barge's ?

Sorry to hear this @Pedro

for sure

Japanese light weight RWD basic sports car. I can see how that would challenge your masculinity

A we have a landslide for @Skippy. Congratulations, BIKE OF THE MONTH SEPTEMBER!

The standard Indian is shite, there are no Indian parts left on the race bikes, it’s all after market.

Ouch

And, we just discovered what is wrong with my gearbox. A gearbox cog in this bigger shaft here to the left, which is the live one that comes from the engine. My dude is going to work something out.

Twat

Shouldn't you be off somewhere plundering?

Reading the room isn't one of your talents Dear Boy.

Bloody good car mate, When I used to do Saab track days one of our group always brought his Mk1 pop up MX5. Bloody great little car, fun to drive and pretty quick in the right hands. And yes he got a load of ribbing but he won us around in the end.

I have a few miata owners who come in regularly...most are women 50 % the others are man...I'm not sure about there sexual orientation..I haven't asked...but most have man purses either around the waste or over their shoulders..

The weekend for me was a trip to Cornwall to do some trail riding with the TRF, I think there were around 25 riders and few including myself brought along their better half, We stayed at a campsite near a place called No mans Land, we were in a static caravan this time very civilised for me. Friday was just a catch-up with some and introductions to others with a few beers. Saturday morning i got up with a muzzy head after the previous nights beer drinking and no water but after a good fry up and a dump i was ready to go. The routes were plotted and lead by someone else so all i had to do was follow on the day. There were three separate groups two groups riding the same route but in different directions and one group doing an easier route. We left the women to fend for themselves and headed off on a what was a cold but sunny morning to the first lane about a mile away from camp, Our intrepid leader hadn't ridden it before so didn't know it was a bit washed out so we had to walk the bikes in some places My body hadn't started running on all cylinders at this point and it felt like i was going to stall At the bottom we all stopped for a rest it was only a short lane but i was a bath of sweat and really out of breath i thought if this is what the rest of the lanes are like i shall be returning to the campsite early, The few miles of road to the next lane cooled me down nicely and i was pleased to find the following lanes were nice and easy sunken roads but a little overgrown so had to duck under low branches and other overgrown bushes. This lane had a slippery rocky section with a step on it quite difficult to get up So while gasping for air after getting up there the smokers light up After the last lane I discovered that the exposed rock on all of the lanes was very slippery and difficult to walk on let alone ride, we had to stop here to sort out one of the lads handguards after he binned it on the rocks (the one with the fag in his hand in the previous photo) Our intrepid leader didn't listen to me when i said keep the visor down in the overgrown lanes and this was his punishment, a bramble was hiding behind a branch and kissed his nose We stopped at Penpoll for a pastie and a drink about mid day, as we finished one of the other groups turned up and after a short chat we were off. the tide was out so sot the crossing was easy here Our leader taking the wrong line here and getting bogged down, his choice of rear tire didn't help ok on the rocks but shit in mud as i followed his line and managed to plough through to the end, the other side was easy as shown in the video. The lanes after this were easy enough fast flowing and uneventful so no photos, then they started getting interesting and have i mentioned before very slippery, Surprisingly my body had caught up and was now running on all cylinders so when we went down this one i didn't feel like i was going to have a Sean when i had to manhandle the bike down it. This lane has been named the pink panther for some reason. the rest of the lanes all had this slippery rock in various forms even on the flat it had you sliding sideways. Here's one of the lads stuck on it And he's up Looks nothing on film Before we moved on a lad turned up on a BMW GS850 going down it we wished him good luck and moved onto some more slippery down hill rocks for a change The strata going diagonally across the trail really made for a difficult ride A short rest before hitting it again further down. Last photo of the day. I was sent ahead on this one, again some real slippery rock to ride up with a step on it and diagonal strata making it real difficult to ride, when i got to this gate i waited for about 15 minutes and no sign of anyone. Tried phoning with no answer so thought they had changed their minds and i decided to go back down to see where they were only find them all stuck on the rock step heading up which meant i had to turn around and do it again it was harder the second time There were a few more lanes after the one above which were uneventful so no stopping for photos. Got back to the campsite around 6pm feeling pretty pumped and could have done some more. loaded the bike and my gear in the marmite wagon before having a shower, after that i couldn't stand up straight and was aching like hell lol a burger from the BBQ and a few beers sorted that out. Woke up refreshed had a fry up and a very windy drive home. Will need to get my fitness up if i return next year as it will probably be two days riding. Our route

It’s a crate 128, 143 or 132 or something like that … can’t be a 318, that’s a car

Yeah I probably didn’t get my point across very well. What I meant is not to rushing into having Costa put to sleep to quickly. Sorry to be so blunt, only wanted to try and help from a distance. Of course if there is a chance pursue it.

Isn’t S&S an independent engine builder?

We had the rain all last week Dave.

Looks dryer than we've had here today.

Did absolutely no work today. However, got a replacement pair of gloves out of warranty because the girl at the shop is a very nice human. Went on a little walk with Costa and my brother, and went to visit my motorcycle. Tomorrow in the AM Costa is going in for a fancy CAT scan, and then a top surgeon is going to see what he has to say. I foresee an emotional day and little work done as well.

There is a distinct lack of builders today

Could have had a brace of Harleys on the front page, missed a treat there.

Gutted For you @Pedro just spoil him rotten and enjoy the old boy

I like them a lot, but don't see myself putting one to proper use, sadly.

Very sorry to hear that Pedro, do your best to enjoy the time you have left with him. When I lost my last Jack Russell, who had Lymph node cancer, the vet said he had 3 months but he fought and lasted 9 before we had to take the kind decision as he deteriorated. You know losing him is coming but it won't be today or tomorrow so take each day as it comes and enjoy the time you have, plenty of time to be sad later.

Commando's Memorial

The Lie said to the Truth, "Let's take a bath together, the well water is very nice." The Truth, still suspicious, tested the water and found out it was nice. So they undressed and took their bath. But suddenly, the Lie leaped out of the water and fled, wearing the clothes of the Truth. The Truth, furious, climbed out of the well to get her clothes back. But the world, upon seeing the naked Truth, looked away with anger and contempt. Poor Truth returned to the well and disappeared forever, hiding her shame. Since then, the Lie runs around the world dressed as the Truth,and the society is very happy.. because the world has no desire to know the naked Truth.

It is growing rapidly, so if it operable then it should be done as soon as possible. I’ll have an answer the day after tomorrow.

Thank you. Unfortunately the news are bad, the vet thinks his liver is too infected with cancer and the operation would be too risky, on top of that he’s 12. His advice is we should do nothing and let him have his remaining time. I will use a contact of Sofia’s to reach out to an oncology expert, though, and get a second opinion. I’m pretty shatered.
