I do hanker after one of those twins, not for everyday but something to play with. Allsorts of aftermarket tat to bolt one to them and play with. I would love that, plus they do sound cool as hell.

I know that feeling, times I have told her to just breath and accept that sometimes the answer is no or it can't be done right now. I get on better with her than my Mrs who finds her extremely frustrating at times, whereas it is the opposite with my son who I could happily slap around, although I never would. I do think in life when she finds her focus on something career wise there will be no holding her back. Or its the hope I cling to . Probably just normal Dad soft on daughters hard on sons and the other way with Mums.

I dunno mate, I do see what you mean but back in the 1970's where nothing really came with a fairing that is what bikes looked like that had after market fairings. I love that sort of not really mean't to be look. It has all but died out as classic bikes are being restored back to original and all the old fairings binned. I suppose it is a bit like music tastes what you start with always sticks with you.

Donna Kebab?

I would love one of these. I know POS but just look at it https://accessories.hitchcocksmotorcycles.com/49367?cont_page=Royal-Enfield-Interceptor-650-Accessories#

Maybe, I can see elements of my youngest daughter in her. I just hope she uses her focus for good.

Just got back from walking the Dear Boy, I have gotten lazy recently which isn’t good for my health so making an effort to get back on the treadmill. Plus the dog is getting fat to. Also the shock of Pete’s passing has frightened some sense into me. Moody skies Good taste in cars.

Yeah I have a lot of respect for her, driven person.

And fucking green tats all over them. Silly bints think you won't notice their great fat ass if they have a big green tat on their leg

Not many of the latest BMW's float my boat to be honest, maybe a F800/900 or R12nineT but the rest Meh! for me. Go and ride a cruiser see what you think, they do look cool but not for me.

Its brutal and simple mate eat less and move more. I have had long talks with the medics I work with given my own issues and other stuff. It genuinely is that simple. But hard to do. Quality of food is important as well as portion size but that is contributory to the simple fact that we use x amount of calories in a day, if you eat less than you need you get thinner if you eat more than you need you get fat. All the rest is bullshit and excuses.

Never ridden a new twin but I had 3 of the old air cooled bikes and never had a problem with getting hot legs. Yes they give off heat and I am sure you could find evidence to moan but I never noticed it as a problem.

I am the last to talk really, I need to lose weight. But obesity is an oncoming epidemic, not many people actually move at work anymore or even want to. Not many actually cook for themselves other than ready meals and the like. I know massive generalisations and there are plenty of examples to prove me wrong but generally we as a species are getting fat, lazy and greedy. Eating the worst food.

Back to front ship in the river this morning.

Looks like she went down hard, actually turned out quite nastily for her. Looks like she is going to have a big scar from the surgery.

I do to and I think that some Chinese stuff is really coming along. Whether we like it or not they are going to play a big part in the future of Motorcycling. I think some of Voge, Kove and CF Moto is good looking stuff, not sure I would buy it just yet but they are getting much better. I actually quite like the new Moto Morini, Mash and Benelli bikes.

Drivers Airbag. I have had the letters from BMW every year but the light came on this year so I thought I better get it done now.

I think it was all a spicy dream Not TOTY, I think he should have a whole new category. Fantasist of the year or Dreamer or Bullshitter or whatever.

I have read that Zontes aren't one of the better Chinky brands.

I know mate, fecking mental. The New GS they had there was marked at 29K. I'm sure it is fantastic but I would not pay that for a bike.

Not really a ride report but we did get to look at some bikes. My E46 had to go and have a recall attended to. Bloody nice people at Ocean, really friendly and helpful given I was there with a 22 year old jalopy. Did the recall, gave the car a free health check and washed it. Came away wishing I could afford to buy stuff from there. Some bikes there. Of course I had my youngest with me and she managed to walk into every shot. One for my Mrs fecking £41,000 After dropping the car off we walked into Falmouth to waste the 90 minutes they wanted the car for. Took my Shadow for Maccys Then walked down Greenbank past Falmouth Marina Looking towards the docks and Maritime Museum Car washed and ready to pick up. I got chatting to the service guy who turned out to be a E46 nut. Really interesting guy, to me anyway. Shadow was rolling her eyes. We left there about 3:30, given that we were the wrong side of Truro and about to hit the school run then rush hour I suggested we popped over to Lanner Kawasaki as Shadow wanted to see some Ninjas. Some interesting stuff there. After she had her Ninja fix we headed to Redruth to get on the A30 and bypass Truro to get home. Still didn’t get home until 5:00 but we had a great time singing to Spotify all the way home, even got Shadow to sing some harmonies which I thought sound good. Made me smile anyway. Bloody good day in good company that started out with me taking Shadow out so her mother wouldn’t kill her. Quote of the day from Shadow, “Do you know Dad I think we are on the same spectrum” I think there is some truth in that

This video was on the same bike day I went to, in fact he is riding the exact bike I did.
