Used up a tank of fuel mooching around mid Cornwall today with Grace for company. First off headed up to Checkered Flag for their Wednesday bike meet. About 10 there, some interesting stuff there. Especially liked the new GB350S in Black. Real nice 1979 Suzuki GS1000G with 21k miles for £4.5k which I didn’t think was bad. Very tidy. Anyone know what a Cheetah is, can’t say I have come across one before Old boxer with 97k for sale. Could do with some cosmetic TLC, supposedly spot on mechanically. Grace had a look around the second hand gear but it was expensive I thought. The has a second hand Schuberth C3 Pro with a filthy headliner for £100, I know you can get new for it but seemed expensive to me for a second hand lid. Confused trying to work my phone After Checkered Flag we headed down the Glynn Valley to Bodmin to show Grace Thor. Proprietor still a Cunt, warned Grace never to spend there. He had a big selection of Indians and chinky chonky stuff. Still like the look of the Gold Stars but wouldn’t buy one there. I would rather travel to Exeter to get one than buy from Colin. We then headed on to Damerells to look at the good stuff I do like this new colour Hornet 750. and Grace is convinced she wants a Hornet 500 but her A2 is a while off yet. Hand some dinner in Damerells cafe then headed up the North coast to Bude for a coffee then back home via the A30 across Bodmin more. Trip stats and a fuel tank of fuel used. Filthy All cleaned up now. Good day out in good company. Bloody cold though and I missed the CBF’s screen.7 points

The Dear Maid managed to drop her bike again. I got the phone call I dread last night, from a tearful Shadow informing she had dropped her bike. There is a railway bridge near Par Docks entrance where Artics from the docks often drip diesel, just for good measure there are two manhole covers on the bend as well. Just past the dew point last night when the road is a bit greasy she spun out coming out from under the bridge. Luckily is was low speed, traffic was light and she is okay if a little scuffed. Little damage to the bike, the footpeg bar is bent, couple of scabs on the plastic work on the bike but the bike already has some battle scars so nothing to worry about really. Also knocked the visor off her helmet. Helmet and visor aren't marked but one visor pivots is broken, ordered a new set from HJC for £20. Of more concern to me was that she was not wearing her boots but Nikes so she has scraped up her foot which is troubling her, not serious but painful., Also had a lump on her right leg that I can see will bruise up. The footpeg bar is going up to her uncles to be straightened out so I will repaint that and fit it. I had a moan at her for not wearing her boots and protective bottoms, but to be honest, in perspective it's probably the type of spill most of us has had when young and daft, she is okay and relatively unscathed. Quite impressed how tuff the little CB125F is. Stress I could do without nonetheless.7 points

Yesterday I couldn't find a spanner i use in work, it is one of my favorites and not cheep. Last time i remember seeing it was on a job i had finished on Thursday on Barry Island. So i took the dog out to go see if it was still there this morning and a good job i did because not only was it there but the 10 flange bolts i was using it to fit were also along side it I bolted everything up and was on my way, ended up riding to Tintern and doing some dirt roads on the east side of the wye valley up to Monmouth and back to Abergavenny. I think i felt better riding the dog this time out and ended up doing about 150 miles, the bike was almost as filthy as Bonnie Blue when i got home Some photos of the Clidach railway which is now a cycle route 30 years ago i went through one of these on my old CB750 they have blocked the entrance now so couldn't get in with the bike. may go and walk it tomorrow.5 points

Mandi got busy with some work she wanted to do so I went and pulled the water pump off the Rover I'd just got back together. It was ticking over and I could feel coolant hitting me. The bearings were noisy anyway and I'd already mentioned that to the owner. I also had the alternator off as I thought it was at fault for not charging. I've never had the keys and have been hot wiring and didn't realise the Ign has to be on to power a relay for the alternator, but do now.5 points

Well suitably fed and watered one of her mates called around to take her out for a ride to get her confidence back. Boots and armoured trousers on.5 points

Wearing biking boots through the day is not nice at all, maybe get her some halfway sneakers that provide some protection but are still nice enough to wear when not on the bike? Glad she is mostly ok, she’s a trooper!5 points

Diesel and man hole covers are all part of learning , unfortunately it only comes with experience. Don't forget to tell her about overbanding as well. I'm glad she's not too badly hurt, it's pride that takes the biggest hit usually.4 points

I do keep calm, it is great to see him getting into knots because he can not wind me up the way he wants to i think this may have been why he thought about going for me fist in the air... Been ok again today, asked if i needed anything whilst he was out at the shops4 points
