  1. I did, fish and ships, twice. Might not really be british fish though. Oh yes, and smoked kippers, that I really liked and were from the IOM.
  2. Feeling like crap today, I might have a bit of a bug, had dinner yesterday and it was hard to keep it down. I am now sat outside having a hot tea like an old woman. Every sip feels like it upsets my stomach. After arriving home I got a big broom and got to work on the back of the house, between newly formed soil from decaying leaves and olives there were three bin fulls of stuff, got too tired from doing that so do think they are related. Will sit a bit having the rest of my tea then watch tv, but might wash the bike in the afternoon if the day brightens up a little. I do plan on going for a multi day ride sometime next week and you can’t leave on something like that with an already dirty bike!
  3. Mine’s 11, he’s had two liver surgeries and his joints are also giving him grief. Somedays you feel you would spend all your money if you could fix their pains.
  4. Search for a new job, accept it, and THEN you can feel good about telling your current boss off. Otherwise he’ll find a replacement in a couple of days and you’ll be the one in trouble.
  5. Sad times. What was the mileage on her?
  6. Give him a treat already, he looks like he's tired of waiting and about to start disliking you
  7. The blue one with the Dakar decor does look very nice in person. Only think lacking, to me, would be tubeless wheels. Edit: You should get one, the only way you would top the CB500 flack you get here would be by having a bike with a pink stripe on it
  8. Bright sunshine above the low clouds today
  9. Can't really beat that argument can you? My friend, long term car mechanic is now in his fifties and struggling a lot with skin issues in his hands because of that sort of long term exposure to oils and other stuff. He now has real difficulties with gloves because how much his skin itches with them on.
  10. Google: Almost all motorcycles that have been produced since 2007 are ULEZ compliant. Motorbikes meeting Euro 3, Euro 4, Euro 5 or Euro 6 standards will be exempt.
  11. I know nothing about Spanish bikes, but it does say Antorcha Special on the side of it
  12. It’s a Derbi Antorcha, 49cc Looks substantially nicer without that nasty fairing.
  13. Don’t know about that Marcel, it’s already mid November and he’s been working hard towards it for a while now.
  14. A few years ago there were a couple of symptoms of intestinal cancer, and I had a camera up my but to check things. A man did it but I had a girl holding my hand and saying soothing things
  15. Hanging ou with Sofia today, tomorrow and sunday spending some time at home, so that’s the weekend. I plan on packing the bike’s luggage and going somewhere on Monday on the bike, either Spain or Morocco. Bad weather seems to be getting behind us and I have been in a pretty dark depressive mood lately, so I’m going to force myself to get on the bike for some road therapy.
  16. I installed it a while ago before the UK trip, it’s got 2 more plates than stock and after inspection it’s clearly better made with a lot less localized pressure points. I am having an issue with the clutch never being 100% actuated, always some kind of drag that makes clunky shifts and unpleasant low speed shifting. We took it off to check the gearbox for some play in the primary shaft, all is ok and fine, assembled it with love and let’s see how it is when I go. Will leave the shop and ride 300km to Sofia. Also am putting less gay tires back on.
  17. Not even if you keep it running full time in the middle of the house between divisions? I would try that for a week without opening windows.
  18. How about a dehumidifier? Works wonders for mould and they’re very low on electrical consumption.
