Tango

I had one with the floppy disk drive too! It has long since disappeared.

Well, it has been pissing it down all day today, but we certainly needed some rain! The forecast for the week is looking pretty similar too. So, no bike action for me this week by the looks of it. Then we're over in blighty for a bit over a week, visiting family, so no bike action then either!

Oh, yeah, for sure the coffee is better in the Costas, but a couple of coffees a day and you're looking at serious money! I did actually resort to making some coffee in a flask and taking that with me to drink in the car eventually.

It's what you're used to. I can find my way around my android phone pretty smartish. I'd struggle on an iPhone.

Long gone are the old WRVS shops, where you could get a coffee and bun for a couple of quid!

Nice one. Was there a specific brand of chain lube that you were after? I should have shares in Costa! Often the only place to get a coffee in the hospitals as a visitor when I was working! Used to cost me a fortune, especially when I had a colleague with me! Somehow it always seemed to be down to me to buy the coffees and buns!

I'm no fan of Spotify either. I did try to use it for a while, but gave up on it. All the adverts just got on my t*ts. I tend to use Internet radio stations now. The ones I use have fewer ads, but my musical taste is less mainstream, so I guess the advertisers go for the more popular stations. Do you still need an Apple Music account to use the phone, or have they moved away from that now?

Lemon drizzle cake wot I baked today!

Sounds familiar. I resent having to open an iTunes account and having to give them a valid credit card details in order to be able to use their stuff! NO! Just No!

Funnily, I felt the same way when work replaced our Android phones with iPhones! Oh how we laughed every time there was an update available and the IT department sent an urgent message to all iPhone users, not to install the update until they tested it to make sure that the apps we used would still work! And then we'd wait for the inevitable patch to be tested too. Happy days!

With Apple stuff, the only time you see the light is when you've got your head between your knees, waiting for them to Roger you again!

Tough one this month! All the entries are excellent! I voted for Sophia's Speedy. The deserted town square, the inhabitants driven away by the hooligan Triumph's arrival! Curtains were twitching!

It did sound like an XT660 too, Clive. I didn’t expect him to have such a high voice though!

It's been a hell of a long time since I last worked on carbs! I remember why I prefer FI now!

After our little walk down to the boulangerie to get bread and have a coffee, I got Mandy's Bonneville out of the garage and put some tubing onto the float bowl drains to check the float heights. Seemed that the fuel level was too high in both. Adjusting them was a PITA! Trying to make fine adjustments by bending a metal tab is prehistoric! The only way to bend the tabs was to remove the floats and float valves, bend the tab, put it all back together and check. Rinse and repeat multiple times until the levels look vaguely right. It wasn't helped by the high winds and rain showers here today. Anyway, I think I'll try to run the bike, once all the fuel spilt over the engine has evaporated! Maybe tomorrow, if the weather is OK.

Yes, Pete, you've got to wonder why they need an oil change that frequently!

Obviously Brembo's are top-end brakes, but you never know, those ones may have been used on a more mainstream bike? Have they got a model type or number? If so, a search on eBay may throw up some possibilities.

So, there's a good chance that they're used on other bikes, just a case of working out which ones and then seeing if rebuild kits are available for them if you can't get them from KTM.

Enjoying every minute of it then, Fred?
