It is, we get at least 3 a week this time of year.

Picture of her up.

Out for my morning walk with the dear boy and saw this coming in with the pilot View from Tittie castle Not such a bad place to live

This is what Victory normally looks like. Picture on our living room wall that was given to my Mrs on her 21st birthday. She crewed on working boats (Falmouth Oyster Dredgers) in her younger years. In the past they used to dredge all winter and race all summer, there is only one left that actually works now and is owned by my kids God Father.

The Falmouth Working Boat, sail powered oyster dredger, Victory went down yesterday. Pushed to hard during a race filled up and down. It's alright she is already up again, but it is an uncommon sight.

Haven’t got any heated gear, I have been using thermal underwear up to now but that may be problematic for work. Most hospitals are like the fucking tropics in the winter.

I am guessing all year use. I think there was plenty of preventive maintenance over time as its not at all bad underneath the grime. I am only playing really, it's a £1100 winter hack I just like making it a bit nicer.

It's already on the to do list, along with taking the rear swing arm out and repainting that . I had a nice surprise when I took the front side fairings off as I had a clear shot at the fork tubes that I thought were rusty and pitted, turns out that it was mummified flies. Some WD and a cloth and off they came. The tubes look pretty bloody good. Obviously been regularly sprayed with something to prevent pitting.

I would love this bike but I am guessing matey wants his pound of flesh and it will be well out of my pocket. Who am I kidding I would need to win the lottery.

After my night shift Kip I set about playing bikes for the afternoon. Nothing fancy really just put in some LED headlights and fitted my Quadlock along with some obsessive cleaning especially under the front fairings. I need to get some LED bulbs for the marker lights but all in good time. I am really enjoying getting this bike back to presentable, I don’t think it has been thoroughly cleaned in years just serviced and ridden. But there is something about polishing a turd and bringing it back that is quite fulfilling. It rode without fault for my work commutes over the weekend. Even used the heated grips this morning coming home. Just gotta do something about those ditch finder tyres. This side on shot shows there is still plenty to do to tidy up. This thread would have been perfect for Pete what with Hondas and obsessive cleaning

Picking the youngest up from work this evening then off for a blast

My little ginger twat didn't get me anything and I walked him this morning.

4 times don't forget the CB125F and the Lawnmower, tis a 4 Honda house Actually just been for a blast on the Hornet, chalk and cheese to the CBF600. I know you all have had faster but that Hornet is a quick angry bike, especially where I live.

It was quite entertaining the see how the owner of El Lobo interacted with Freddie, you can see his opinion even though he doesn't voice it.

Nice haul

Old and new.

Funnily enough Michelin Road 5's are the standard tyre on my Hornet and I can't fault them, bloody good in all conditions, I also checked and Michelin Road 2's were the OEM tyres on the CBF600. So I think I have my answer. I can get a set of 5's for the CBF600 for around £250, bit more than I thought but probably worth it in the end.

I have had 2 so far Middle Daughter is still Sluggabed

Change is often as good as a rest. Can’t say I would ever buy a cruiser but given the chance to ride one for a day I would happily. Enjoy it Skip

I’m going to get a new set of tyres for my CBF600. It’s been years since I’ve bought such a thing so am out of touch with what is good or bad. I’m not going to be scratching about just want something safe a durable for my commute to work. I’ve got the Hornet if I want to tear about even thought that is rare. So I suppose I’m looking at sports touring tyres. Any recommendations?

Off out to catch crabs this morning 06:30

Let me in

Sauce for you Sauce for us.

Just read the caption both of those robots were in Lost In Space, you were right. Both made by the same guy
