That's cos @Slowlycatchymonkey has fecked off to Spain. @XTreme and @Skippy will get the shit weather now ............

It’s not one of your ex’s is it

The CRF250X weighs 40kg less, it'll be interesting to see what it's like on the road though. I'm pretty sure it'll be a lot like the KTM400EXC I used to have, bloody uncomfortable

The seat is for sale on eBay at the moment, the ECU is gone already . There was a long queue for that one

It's not the performance but the chassis and the brakes. My mates Z1 back in the day was feckin dangerous in fast bends.

She got us a discount in that subway at Stonehouse

I've just shown Paolo your photo, he is well jealous. As well as opera he likes a bit of rap and Dizzee is one of his favourites

Spooky, I'm just reading Shakey Byrne's book and there's a lot about Paul Bird in it .

That DT125R looks very tidy

Aaaaaaaaah , not got Apple TV. It will appear elsewhere eventually.

So the Rally is now back with the original red seat, the 'hop-up' ECU has been removed and the original put back, she is now ready to go for p/x

I moved this to Motorcycle Workshop Fred With this shite fuel now , I reckon you'll definitely have to start it more often or put some of that fuel stabiliser in the tank if you're leaving it for a while ?

What platform is that on @Skippy ?

No, it has to go through their workshop first and they're quite busy. The salesman told me about 10 days so hopefully it will be the middle of next week. I'm not in any hurry though as my back is still dodgy.

It's both, I've been going there for over 30 years so luckily I'm in the system. It still cost me £70.70 today though, not sure how much it would have been if it was private.

I hadn't thought of that but my experience in the past has tought me that when you see those guys it usually gets worse before it gets better. I'll stick with the Ibuprofen for now and hope it gets better before next Friday .

Sat in the waiting room, oh joy Not many victims today

My mate used to have one with a bent frame (from a crash) , it still rode ok. He abandoned it once near Caldicot when it cut out and wouldn’t start. We went back three months later , fired some easy start down the bell mouths and it started second go . He carried on riding it for another two years with minimal maintenance and it kept on going

I totally agree I saw one of those new one in the showroom, it looks even worse up close

Dentist in an hours time, I don't particulary hate the dentist but she's not very good at her job. Let's see if she can get my crown to stay put for more than two weeks this time Hoping to go for a walk with Paolo tomorrow if my back allows , still walking a bit like Mr Crab at the moment . Haven't ridden a bike for two weeks now, I'll see if I can get my leg over on Monday all being well as I'm supposed to be riding to Cumbria next Friday .

Not my choice, my son loves opera . Each to his own , some peeps like tarting up bangers for a living

Yesterday with my son we watched 'Les Troyens' (the Trojans) , an opera by Berlioz. I'm not saying it was shit but even he said 'this goes on a bit' !! So if you want to watch an opera don't choose that one

I can see the Cornish mafia heading your way right now @Catteeclan

My wife is a diamond but any time something fails or goes wrong she always says the same thing. It was working perfectly five minutes ago so why doesn't it work now ? I have given up trying to explain now , I just shrug my shoulders and move on ............
