Skippy

...........fingers crossed it goes ahead this year. I did the ride out from Murcia city the year before last and it was quite a sight to see. Managed to raised a good chunk of money for the charity too so that was a bonus. Charity aside, it’s still worth going along to the local event and getting to see some very nice bikes.

Best I can do this month is an unusually overcast affair ?

If someone fancies cleaning the bike and my gear afterwards it could be arranged Pete ?

I know I was so lucky! ?. It was the only soggy patch we’d come across the whole day and it looked nice and crusty as I approached it. Served me right for cutting a corner. My mate on his DRZ just stopped in time and nearly fell off laughing. ?

I hit the soggy patch at about 20mph so I nearly went over the bars in a Superman style ???

Not recently but about two years ago. Stuck fast in wet clay. Couldn’t budge so had to get a local farmer to dig and pull me out with his tractor. He thought it was funny. ????

My Mitas enduro tyres grip just fine on the road given the meagre amount of power my Himalayan makes and I’m pretty sure your bike doesn’t make enough to need super sticky tyres Pete. Try something more dirt orientated and you’ll reap the benefits off road whilst still having enough grip on the tarmac. Its all in your head anyway ?????

The twat has put up cctv and told all the other neighbours and some other Brits in the village it’s because I’ve been harassing his wife fer fucks sake! He reckons I’ve been staring at her through the wall. Spoke to all my neighbours and he’s made himself look like a proper cunt. Saved me a job. ??

Exact-fucking-ly Pete ?

Stop moaning, it’s fucking raining here and I can’t be bothered to go out. Instead, I’m doing proper fuck-all for the rest of the day. ?

No problem Pete.......and as usual I missed all the action ??

I do t post a huge amount but this is one of the better forums in operation so please Pete, if it’s possible, keep it going. If people don’t like the forum then they can easily bow out without making an issue surely?

Neither would I if I owned a Chinky Beemer but my Indian Boneshaker is fine. It’s used to being abused.

Sorry I’ve misled you thinking about it. The initial service was at 750klms and the oil was changed. At the 5k service it was fine and stayed in until I had it serviced at 11k. I should’ve paid more attention when I was at school. ?

Yes mate, when I took it in for its initial 1,000 klm service the mechanic checked the oil and said it was fine and didn’t need changing. Good lad!

I must say that when I saw the engine oil from my recent 10,000klm service I was pleasantly surprised. Spoke to the mechanic and he reckons that RE engines are very well built. Some of the other parts of the bike may be a bit shonky but hey, it’s a cheap bike.

I think it’s a Derbi Antorcha Especiale 49cc like this one.

Ha ha if only that was true! ??

You may be disappointed Pete, took this photo this morning. ?

Well once we can get out of Murcia I’ll come over and bother you. ?

Thanks for that and I’d appreciate the link if you can. Yours looks much better as it fits properly whereas mine is just thrown on and held in place with an elastic strap under the seat.

We’re able to get out and about the whole of Murcia province apart from two municipalities. Mustn’t grumble here at the moment but I’m bloody sure that unless they get their act together and get the vaccination programme moving faster we’ll see another massive increase in cases and hence, more deaths. On a more cheery note here’s a couple of shots from today’s run out. ?

Absolutely Tym ?????

Don’t knock it until you try it ????

I was an orphan so hard to know. ?
