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.....

We have a new floor, only the skirting boards and a radiator to go

I'll fix it, but nobody really knows what Harley models are called.

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.

No idea why this photo should pop up on Facebook memories but it’s me on my Yamaha EXUP circa 1991 I think.

Got 7 inches last night and I'm still sore! Another day in paradise...

It's a Street Glide you mexican twat!

thats you Banned until the summer

Is this what our new fuel is doing to our bikes? Got this out of the tank with the tap out and shaking it about That gasket's never going back in. I've used the body of a spare carb I had with the new needle valve just to rule out any probs with the seat.

Frisky......need a long memory to remember the last time I was feeling frisky. A couple of lagers for me is better than any sleeping tablets....

That's what happens after a couple of beers, get frisky and bang the misses in odd positions. Hope you're feeling better soon.

thats you banned for 4 months from BOTM

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

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

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.

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....

It used to be the drugs but I blame the wine now

Oh dear what a sad silly boy.

I've got one this month............. not the best but it'll have to do.

my dads mate had one the fucking twat .... i burnt it one night when we was on a trip to Devon a few years back

Nice looking garage Bob when are the bikes moving in

Breakfast run on the bike naturally

Clocks change in a couple of days ... lighter evenings, home from work and out on the bike for a few hours .... winters has dragged on to long ...

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

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

@Six30, instead of whining like a little bitch all the time, do you want to try running BOTM in April?

What happened ?

We need horizontal pictures, the only horizontal one you posted is this one, so that's what I'll consider: It's also the best one, by far, so happy times!

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.”

That’s more fake than the moon landing

Thank you for your advice Arfur ..........

A man returns from the doctor and tells his wife that the doctor has told him he has only 24 hours to live. Given this prognosis, the man asks his wife for sex. Naturally, she agrees, and they make love. About six hours later, the husband goes to his wife and says, "Honey,you know I now have only 18 hours to live. Could we please do it one more time?" Of course, the wife agrees, and they do it again. Later, as the man gets into bed, he looks at his watch and realizes that he now has only 8 hours left. He touches his wife shoulder, and asks, "Honey, please...just one more time." She says, "Of course, Dear," and they make love for the third time. After this session, the wife rolls over and falls asleep. The man, however, worried about his impending death, tosses and turns, until he's down to 4 more hours. He taps his wife, who rouses. "Honey, I have only 4 more hours. Do you think we could..." At this point the wife sits up and says, "Listen, I have to get up in the morning. You don't!"

Padstien to Otterham Station then back to Fowey. Unremarkable 75 mile run for coffee and cake. Nice mooch around the North coast.
