Wish I was. Thanks @boboneleg

Anything today ......................as it's my birthday.

He has had it from brand new, he does ride it, but not very often as he has slight mobility issues, he calls it his baby....and he definitely does not need the money.

His bike is a 22 years old XV1600 Wildstar....which he hardly rides, but he won't sell it he says. His his wife has a 2001 VT750dc., that she has not used for several years, which he is thinking of selling, his wife has given him permission to sell it.

Not the tank leaking, petrol pipe perished, new pipe and clips fitted.....all good now.

I may going to have a look at a friend's (well sort of a friend) Cruiser, A Yamaha I think it is....he says its pissing petrol from somewhere near the rear of the tank, but he can't find where the leak is.

Not a clue what they ride like Keith, but I have seen one close up and they look very nice..

As I think I posted I went to see @Richzx6r at Donington Park the other week.....It was a very warm dry day,and i covered around 100 miles that day and, just 4 bug splats on the front of the scoot. And Bumblebees, I see very few in our garden, plenty of small wild bees though.

Raining here, so will be doing very little (as usual ) ...Will watch the WSB, pass some time. 🏍

Nope......I can't find the door keys.

That's me all-over.....

I am thinking, not planning, to unlock our front door and go outside tomorrow. Can't be too rash as I went out yesterday.

On a average week we do nothing, only day planned is shopping day, jeez I hate shopping. So like you we don't make plans for this week or the near future.

It's something to look forward to. ....but I am easily pleased.

I had better get booking for next year!....beat the rush.

Forecast for Saturday 23c and cloudy......Sunday 24c with rain. It nice to be able to go out in the car without doing this.

I know, I saw them.

With petrol still being in the tank it gunked up the petrol tap, tank breather pipe, and had continued to slowly seep through the carbs, the middle one was by far the worst, Bruce gave me a spare set of carbs, I assumed they were the correct ones for the bike, I only fitted one to replace the very bad (corroded) middle carb, It would/could have been a different story if the tank and carbs had been drained.

10 or more years stood in a garage will not do any bike any good, if It had been started on a regular basis it may have stood better...

When Bruce told me the Tiger would not be a free ride to get it back on the road I should have heeded his warning. It tried my wallet, my patience, and my sanity, but while it was running it was a very nice ride, but the carbs ( they were in a bad state after being stood so long) were always a bit of a problem, some day it would run fine, the next, it would loose a little power, or stall at every junction. Maybe ( most likely) I over estimated my capabilities and i should have said Thanks, but no thanks. I read so much on the Triumph forum about the problems that came with Tigers of that vintage, the starter sprag clutch weakness being a big one, and if it went, which it did, it would require a engine strip down that I had neither the tools or mechanical competence to achieve. Jinxed, i don't know, just maybe it was stood too long in Bruce's garage.

He will have to change his name to @Plumbbob..

Well I take it back, I said I will believe 40c when I see it...... Just watched Met office forecast for Monday and Tuesday, and they say 40c for us and 25c during the night......think I will sleep in the pool

Won't be doing to much, in and out of the pool while it's hot. Also have other home chores to do.

I suppose muddy puddles are in short supply at the moment.
