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.

That was the case for me. It wasn’t discovered until I had an Echocardiogram weeks after I was taken ill. I didn’t know, and I am very conscious of the issue given my family history.

We are.

Yes mate my Dad died of a heart attack at 57 and I had a minor one at 56, I had 3 stents after that. The difference between us is I listened to the medics and he wouldn’t. It’s why I keep saying what I do, ignoring symptoms and medical advice killed my dad. Tough guy in life but some things need a different approach.

Off to Ocean BMW down at Falmouth tomorrow. My E46 has to go in for an Airbag recall. Obviously I gonna have a look around the bikes and prices and drink their coffee. Supposed to take 90 minutes to sort the airbag.

You just want to kill him off you evil fucker Mind you I like the way you are thinking.

I spoke to the Nurse Practitioner I worked with on Sunday night and told what little I knew, she said very much the same. She did say if there was no history of Heart disease they would not necessarily look for it and the normal test wouldn't show much of a clue. But obviously that was just my limited understanding. I didn't mention it before as I didn't really know what I would have been talking about.

Don't be daft get it sorted. What happened to Pete is just what happens in life and death, doesn't make it any more likely something is going to go wrong for you or that it even did for him. Could have just been his time. We are all going to die at some point you can't live in fear of it just do your best to get by. And for fuck sake listen to the medics, many have died from not doing that.

Shad?

Face it KTM are selling out and going chinese like many brands before them. Sad but true. Hopefully that will raise the quality that comes out of china.

I think you are close to it.

I've missed your input

I am sure this will be classed as gay but I don’t really care. I wanted to say something about Pete. It's funny but even though we never met I have come to look on him as a friend who I spoke to most days. Please you that knew him much longer and better than me do the same, I and I am sure others would like to read it. I liked his manner and the way he would call me out for being a cunt when I was, straight talking honest friends are rare and should be valued. Sometimes you need to look at yourself and what you are doing. He ran this website well and showed a tolerance and the same friendship to some character’s with pretty extreme views not just because of what they could offer to the place. Also because he saw value in them and their views. I liked that, regularly talking to people I would not in most walks of life is a good and valuable learning experience. That environment Pete created with his forceful personality. If you can get by In this sometimes harsh forum it makes you a stronger person in everyday normal life, I liked that too. Interesting place run by an Interesting Guy. I liked his consistent hatred of most things Chinese and Indian unless he was buying them, his quick fire consistent POS posts made me laugh. His refusal to see any value in the same unless of course it was something he bought. Bloody Negatron but Funny Guy. Also I think sometimes we forget of the time and effort and finance he put into this place, because he believed in it and it was his creation. To our benefit of course. Oh and the last thing that I liked was talking to him was often like taking a trip back the the 1970’s with his views and some outlooks on life, my formative years that I look back on with fondness for all the flaws of the time. Good Guy Hopefully we can continue in this forum and stop it going to hell in a hand basket, which it may very well do without him. Pete a friend I’m going to miss. The self proclaimed Rugged Individualist. Cheers Shad Man

FFS there is something wrong with you

It is

It's up the rugby club in my town. We are holding a day of song for several groups in June. Plus it is going to rented out for functions and stuff. A wedding this weekend.

Yep let the dust settle a little, there will be plenty of time to plan and sort stuff out.

Today been mostly erecting this thing. The frame was already up just sheeting it today.

He is reported to have 300 million in the bank so has no need to do anything if he doesn't want to. But he will.

That is terrible news. Thanks for finding out for us Pedro. Properly gutted to hear it.

Just watched the fight. Bloody close and Usyk was unlucky in the 9th with Fury genuinely saved by the bell. I think it was the right result and fair. I couldn't imagine how it could have gone the other way. Not sure Fury has what it takes to beat Usyk but I hope the rematch goes through in October.
