Well Shadow has survived her first few days and is loving her freedom. Me not so much, but I am pleased for her and not quite so stressed every time so goes out. Did make me smile when I saw her bike parked like this tonight Oh and my boys Nobby no mates ped over there

Yes it's a nice one, one of the last (1986 I believe) R80's with a modern 1000cc conversion. Very nice indeed. Martyn the chap who owns it also has a Guzzi V85TT and a 1340 Harley of some sort which he is currently lavishing money on. I can't remember what he stripped it down for but it has expanded to a new clutch, new tyres, belt primary and belt final drive. I didn't ask how much, I'm top polite

Well I haven’t seen her for 3 days. I did see the bike this morning when I got home from work so she has been home. Taking her Freedom and embracing it. I don’t mind at all Twas exactly what I was doing at her age.

Hello and welcome.

Who says it's anything to do with my vanity you daft celtic twat. You should know well enough what teenage girls are like when it comes to being fussy.

Yes mate but they look shit, couple of lads in her college have them stuck on like that and because it is curved in two direction it just creases up and looks cack.

Not mandatory, just wanted it properly secured.. Could possibly put some shorter ones in I suppose.

Bike all cleaned and trigged up ready for her birthday tomorrow.

Persisting down but was going stir crazy so had to get out. Hour in the rain and my water proofs still do so that’s encouraging. Stopped in Cornish Market World for a warm up and posh coffee. Like fucking deliverance in here surrounded by fat toothless wonder.

I go them on both my bikes and put one on Shadows, never turned them facing upward to catch the rain though

And the extinction of the weakest by natural selection.

I like the raincatcher snail horn.

I think we should have a new award for Darwinist of the Year.

Freddie gives an Indian history lesson. Enfield owned the rights to build them at one point

That's nothing to do with Buckster it's a functional fix that is decades old. It's reference anyone British in my age group would recognise.

It has a choke knob just like one and the little detents are worn off it so it needs a peg just like an old BL or Ford product.

New choke ped the last one committed pegicide on the A30 last week.

Cold ride home from work this morning. Time to break out the winter gloves.

What you doing? Me I am working Friday, Saturday and Sunday overnight. Looking like the weather is good enough to use the bike all weekend so that's a positive. Hopefully I will get to watch some rugby as well. Currently Reading Geezer Butler's Biography along with listening to the albums he talks about in it, bloody good blast from the past. So many Sabbath Songs I had forgotten about. So will finish that plus I have actually had a song written for me to sing, only the second time that has happened so working on that while I have the chance also.

Oh he knows who I am Mind you TBH he is probably in more danger from her.

I will miss the time with her, growing up now boyfriend and all. I don't reckon we will see much of her once she is on the road.
