Granddaughter rang yesterday "Scoot making a funny noise and won't start!" .....So I nipped over to hers, battery almost totally flat, starter relay just chattering when button is pressed, she also said that when it was running it would only do 25mph!....tried to pull it out of the garage, front brake absolutely seized, charged the battery, stripped the caliper, cleaned and greased it...scoot now starts and does 55mph again, so i thought I would check other things too, oil level fine, air filter clean, tyres!...both down by at least 22psi....... a bucket of wash and wax would be a good thing too.....

Again I had a similar thing with my boys scoot the other day, I noticed the front brake pads were wafer thin. I ordered new but when they came one of the pad pins seized and stripped, so bought a used caliper and fitted that. Only for the boy to tell me the front brakes had been rubbish for weeks. FFS He was shocked how good they were now they actually work. I sometimes wonder if at 21 he would have the sense to come in out of the rain. I did enjoy playing with the ped though, all relatively simple but therapeutic to do.

I’ve been rumbled, Adolf was my dad.

Funnily enough I have just come in from checking overs Shadows bike, tyre, pressures, oil, chain all the usual stuff. Then washed and GT85 ed it. Just slipped her a sneaky £10 for fuel as well. So her mother doesn't moan. She is off over St Eval this afternoon to spend the weekend at the boyfriends parents. I am going to lead her over there as she isn't sure exactly how to get there, getting home is easier as she only has to follow the signposts to St Aweful or Bodmin. Found a screw in her back tyre but only about 3 mm into the chunky part of the tyre, lucky catch

A carbed Triumph would be a good choice .......................

Nice one @Clive . Between you and @Saul you make a good emergency response team

A coupla winter shots of Wallowa lake from this year....

Arrived at Skeggy at 2.30, Lincoln ring Road was the usual disaster, 2 miles covered in 30 mins, won't go that way home on Sunday....off too find food now.

And now she talks of wanting a big bike my workload could increase considerably..

1 for @Saul....CB750f Spencer tribute....

Looks like we'd better get used to seeing the Blue Dildo in our sleep now....

A TT & an XT from '76...

I was having sex with my friend's wife, the phone rang. I heard it was her husband and I quickly started to get dressed. She told me not to worry. He was out drinking with me!

Life

Been across the Astoria bridge a few times....crossing the Columbia river between OR & WA...

P6 Rover is now done. Found a broken wire, once repaired the Alternator is charging again. New tank sensor fitted and working after some probs getting the pipes on. Dominator fork leg stripped, cleaned and reassembled with gen bushes and seals. Got another float needle to fit, can't wait to take the carb off again. Watch this basted space.

Bloody love power delivery and a peach to ride , don't like the high exhaust, much prefer my style

Ok , listen up Paul so you can actually learn something.............. It doesn't have a DSG box or dual mass flywheel or Adblue or any of that shit that causes aggro on today's vans. It is a geared automatic , clunky sometimes but works fine ................. btw , how's your wet belt ........

Oh god he is going to do a Trump on BOTM.

For those winter treks up my steep driveway w/ 2ft. of snow on the ground....

Haga on the R1...

No need to sign, you'll handle April BOTM.

You hear that boys and girls. @Six30 is going to do BOTM from now on . Pete said you're getting closer to that mod job

A few times.......it was either Skeggy or Jaywick..

Once again you have proved that although you class yourself as a good salesman , you really need to do better .

Photos of the beach race please @Clive

700cc Maico power'd ATK....

So you are taking it on then, well done for volunteering.

So far it’s bloody great, it’s made me realise how much I like this style of bike. It’s very easy to ride, still running in but the engine seems to be quite willing given its modest power. Off out again on Saturday to get a bit closer to the 1,000 klm first service/check over. Meeting five mates from the UK up in Segovia on 25 May and who knows from there? We’ll discuss the next destination over a few beers and some grub each evening, mostly it’ll depend on where the good weather is……..I ain’t riding in the rain if I don’t have to

Well your banned from entering next month for a start

'78 0W31 YZR 750....

The position you got the elbow from you mean..... a monkey wearing boxing gloves and a blindfold could do a better job than you did

Could you remind me what van @Six30 has got again ??

Ont rose tonight as its proper warm out

I went shopping today in Asda and i was behind a grandfather and his badly-behaved grandson. He has his hands full with the child screaming for sweets, biscuits, all sorts of things. The granddad is saying in a controlled voice: “Easy, William, we won’t be long . . . easy boy.” Another outburst and I heard the granddad calmly say : “It’s okay William. Just a couple more minutes and we’ll be out of here. Hang in there, boy.” At the checkout the little horror is throwing items out of the trolley. Granddad says again in a controlled voice : “William, William, relax buddy, don’t get upset. We’ll be home in five minutes, stay cool William.” Well, i was really impressed, so i went outside to where the grandfather is loading his groceries and the boy into the car. I said to the Grandad “It’s none of my business, but you were amazing in there. I don’t know how you did it. That whole time you kept your composure, and no matter how loud and disruptive he got, you just calmly kept saying things would be okay. William is very lucky to have you as his granddad.” “Thanks,” said the Granddad. “But I am William. The little bastard’s name is Kevin.”

Two guys grow-up together, but after college one moves to Georgia and the other to Texas. They agree to meet every ten years in Florida to play golf. At age 32 they meet, finish their round of golf, and head for lunch. "Where you wanna go?" "Hooters." "Why Hooters?" "They have those servers with big boobs, tight shorts, and gorgeous legs." "You're on." At age 42, they meet and play golf again. "Where you wanna go for lunch?" "Hooters." “Again? Why?" "They have a cold beer, big screen TVs, and side action on the games." "OK." At age 52 they meet and play again. "So where you wanna go for lunch?" "Hooters.” "Why?” "The food is pretty good and there's plenty of parking." "OK." At age 62 they meet again. After a round of golf, one says, "Where you wanna go?" "Hooters." "Why?" "Wings are half price and the food isn't too spicy." "Good choice" At age 72 they meet again. Once again, after a round of golf, one says, "Where shall we go for lunch?" "Hooters." "Why?" “They have six handicapped parking spaces right by the door and they have senior discounts." "Great choice." At age 82 they meet and play again. "Where should we go for lunch?" "Hooters." "Why?" "Because we've never been there before." "Okay, let’s give it a try."
