Do see them occasionally down here but not often. Do see some patched up type of groups, mostly Veterans and Masons at most bike meets.

Genuinely not for me Dear Boy.

My shortarse mate Lloyd asked me, I said I have no clue but will ask somebody who might know. I'll tell him to stick with his Indian Scout and Van Van then.

Genuine question. Is the Harley Street Rod 750 actually any good. Asking for a friend.

I think she is ok now, went out with her friends to their stables, this morning, and spent 2 hours riding a new young horse around bare back to help break it/tame it. Bloody girl is fearless.

Had a 60 mile bimble around the clay country this morning, stopped at Parbados for the obligatory photo.

He's not wrong though, those two buns and two coffees were £16, luckily Graces staff discount brought it down to £8.40 which is more like it.

Cafe Nero is the best I have come across, bloody stunning coffee. Grace the girl I’m getting ready for her CBT at the moment works there so we get her staff discount. Which is just as well cos it’s a bit spendy. Lovely though.

Well suitably fed and watered one of her mates called around to take her out for a ride to get her confidence back. Boots and armoured trousers on.

Wet and horrible here but clearing up now. Rugby on the box later. Gave the CBF a good clean yesterday along with Shadows bike. Prolly go out for a long sin earlier tomorrow as suppose to be lovely. Oh and I have the weekend off for a change. Took the faded old tank protector off the CBF today and ordered a replacement as the paint isn’t that good. Just for a tidy up really.

True, she is out with her mother and gone for coffee and cake to cheer her up. Costabucks for me I expect.

She has both sorts of boots mate, full size gortex and trainer type ankle paddock boots. No excuses she should have worn them. Yes she is a trooper alright, strong independant little woman syndrome. When she was 6 she was nearly kicked out of Karate Club for kicking the shit out of all her sparring partners, she didn't understand the concept of sparing and using the lightest of touches.

The Dear Maid managed to drop her bike again. I got the phone call I dread last night, from a tearful Shadow informing she had dropped her bike. There is a railway bridge near Par Docks entrance where Artics from the docks often drip diesel, just for good measure there are two manhole covers on the bend as well. Just past the dew point last night when the road is a bit greasy she spun out coming out from under the bridge. Luckily is was low speed, traffic was light and she is okay if a little scuffed. Little damage to the bike, the footpeg bar is bent, couple of scabs on the plastic work on the bike but the bike already has some battle scars so nothing to worry about really. Also knocked the visor off her helmet. Helmet and visor aren't marked but one visor pivots is broken, ordered a new set from HJC for £20. Of more concern to me was that she was not wearing her boots but Nikes so she has scraped up her foot which is troubling her, not serious but painful., Also had a lump on her right leg that I can see will bruise up. The footpeg bar is going up to her uncles to be straightened out so I will repaint that and fit it. I had a moan at her for not wearing her boots and protective bottoms, but to be honest, in perspective it's probably the type of spill most of us has had when young and daft, she is okay and relatively unscathed. Quite impressed how tuff the little CB125F is. Stress I could do without nonetheless.

Mooching around Polkerris last night. It occurred to me how big was that fecking stapler.

Funnily enough I did notice that earlier but thought I would leave it in to root out a pedant

Met up with my Fowey mates for a trip up to Kitt Hill. We worked it out that our combined age was approaching 400. Me being the youngest at 59. 2 x Triumph Tigers 1 x Triumph Bonniville 1 x Moto Guzzi V85TT 1 x Moto Guzzi V7 1 x Norton Commando 1 x Honda Hornet. The cue for Breakfast Now I like these old Jellymould CBRF Hondas. That is a really nice 18k miles example. Yamaha Y-B1 on L plates A Greaves in the hedge, its natural habitat. I likey Insert collective noun for old fuckers Old and slow L plate special from the 60/70s Dirty Harley, rumour has it that it was actually ridden in the wet Weirdness Lovely old K bike from 1984 and only 32k on the clock. Just like my old one, I had forgotten how big the bleddy thing was. Dwarfed my Hornet parked next to it. After we had breakfast and a look at the many and lovely bikes at Kitt Hill we headed across country through Callington and Launceston to the north coast. We went to try out a new cafe at Otterham Station on the A39. Very good it was to. Them we Headed down to Camelford inland to Bodmin then back to the South Coast and home to Fowey. Covered 85 miles and a great day out. Sunny but cold. The Hornet TBH was a joy to ride. I need to ride it more.

Yeah much, thanks

Working Friday and Sunday overnight. Saturday morning I lead shadow on my CBF over to St Eval as she is spending the night at her boyfriend’s. Once she dropped her gear I lead her down to Camel’s Rugby Club where he was playing. I left her with his parents and headed home for a Kip. Sunday morning, now, I am going to meet up with my mates to go to Kitt Hill bike meet for a bit of Breakfast. Taking the Hornet this time. Stunning weather yesterday and again today, if a little cold.

Shocking,

Sorry I was fixated on the fingering part, of course punching a blind chap is off the cards, tripping maybe but punching is bad form.

Admit it you would

Prolly because we are the only ones actually riding this time of year . Excluding Bobnophone of course

Precise enough for you?

Just ordered a set of Japanese chain and sprockets from M&P £32. Joys of 125cc biking I suppose, and the chain is gold which will please Shadow no end.

Dieing of man flu as most of us do, anyway get a call from Shadow and her bike broke down on the way to college. I jumped on the CBF chucked my tools in the panniers and headed off. When I got there her chain had come off, easy enough fix but I am surprised it got so loose so quickly. Pulled if off the back of the sprocket and it is knackered so going to order her a new one in a minute. OEM chain lasted about 6k miles, not the best quality, but surprisingly enough the sprockets look absolutely fine, no real sign of wear at all. Going back to dieing now having used up any energy I had
