Took the old FZ6N out for a couple of hours this morning……..perfect weather

thanks for the update Scott.... your dad is very much missed .

Mandis off for a spa day with her friend later so I have a free day, other than going to pay for the younger boys new car. The Rover head is all ready to go back together but as it's got to be taken 7 miles up the road to the rest of the car I'll leave it till next week as I've got to have a good think of what to take with me. I always forget something so I bet it'll be 2 trips. The shed I did the head work in is a tip so a bit of time is needed in there. We have a "tap room" opened a while ago in the high St which has a cherry beer so I might well slip down there for a swift or 2.

yaaaay, village people.

Cherry beer .... is there a disco there as well .

Cherry beer? Next you will be riding a Honda, oops too late!

Actually, i'm the same height as MM, with 10kg less of muscle mass.

Someone in south wales TRF done this because we've been struggling with the second man rule

Thanks for checking in Scott. Good to have a bit of news come in.

Good afternoon everyone, It's coming close too 1 year since my dad passed, time has flown by very quickly. I thought it'd be good to quickly reply to some questions i've gotten either through here or on FB / Whatsapp. 1) The funeral was small, it was only myself and Ali in the end, due to Spain typically having a funeral with-in 2 days of the passing it was all done very quick and suddenly. 2) I got to see Pete in hospital the day before he passed, he seemed to be recovering well, so it was indeed a shock that he passed the following morning as i was arriving to visit him again. 3) I've taken over his business and also the forum for the time being, so things will still continue to be online for the foreseeable future. 4) Ali is doing as well as could be expected, she's still living in Spain but it's going alright. 5) I'm not planning any public service or remberance for Pete this coming year, there's still a lot on-going, but i appreciate all the love / support from everyone. Please do continue to take care of the forum and yourselves, i do come to check-in on things from time to time. Best regards, Scott - Petes youngest Son (Living in The Netherlands)

Too close to my mother in law!! ...oh, and Trump...

Been doing some tree work with the help of my youngest lad. The HSE would have had a fit but no one injured or dead and nothing broken. I'll call that a win but need to go clear up tomorrow. Im getting to old for this physical crap, everything aches.

Not been doing much as usual, fitted a home made draft excluder on the inner garage door it was a bit cold on my bare feet in there, and then swapped the XR's front Michelin starcross for a Michelin Tracker i had given to me, took the old tyre to the dump only to find it closed at 16:30 but the marmite wagon got a run, first time in about 3 weeks the rest of the time i spent hiding from the cold in the house. Not sure what i'm doing tomorrow yet.

WTF

ermm, 2 hondas. I first had some recommended by my daughters other half while at the Festival. I'm pleased I can get it locally now.

Dani is built like a slightly taller Marc Marquez, he is what Honda thinks of when they design a bike.

'55 Mercedes F1 car.... recently sold for $200+M...

My experience is pretty much the same as yours. The motor is an animal for sure, I have come to the conclusion it's the power delivery that makes it feel quick, pulls really hard at lowish revs where you do most everyday riding. I absolutely love it. A fantastic bike that I see no need to change. I have only done 3500 miles in the 16 months I have owned it as I have been doing most of my mileage on the CBF600. While the CBF is a comfy old slipper with good wind protection getting off it and onto the Hornet makes it feel a beast all over again. Not sure how you will get on with that screen, I had the same one on my CB500F and I didn't notice much of an improvement, but you are probably a different shape to me so it may work differently for you. I always thought it made my CB500 look like an alert Cockatiel Oh and if you are looking for a rack the SW Motech one is excellent, beautifully made and a perfect fit and not very obtrusive to the look of the bike.

The Vista House on Crown Point.... Columbia river gorge. Been here on at least 3 different bikes....

@Buckster has already snitched

Good negotiation skills! Hey @Nute! That American really is in a hurry to move out from his snowy paradise, there’s a deal to be made!

your a strange little man

owning an Android is the equivalent of one of your mates telling you in the early 1980's they have one of them new video recorders... you get invited round to watch Blade Runner ... only to be told its Betamax and he cant get no films for it.

You spelt shitter wrong.
