Try getting one for less now that's what they fetch. I think it's a case of not getting your hero bikes from back in the day as modern stuff is so much better in every way. Lots of old school bikes I really like but doubt I would want to live with one as my only rider. CT125 would be a lot of fun in the right environment but imagine you would want more power before to long. Problem with that sort of bike especially on the roads that you show us is that your would be forever highlighting the fact that it would be dog slow. Tell us what you actually want from a bike to narrow the field a little. All I know is not RE, Chinky or BMW. I think Ray is right get a naked bike and back to just having fun.

Yeah I am convinced it was her husbands bike that he lets her ride. He was riding a stunning Norton.

Yeah that was the Thai bride bike. Bloody nice.

Went to the first Britannia bike night earlier. About 20 bikes turned up over the course of a couple of hours. Some interesting characters to including a hump back and a cos play 1950’s greaser with his Thai bride. Also a profoundly deaf Lezzer, or that’s how she introduced herself Friendly enough bunch not sure it’s for me but will give it a chance and go again

Could be

I liked Greyhound proper old school war film. I liked it a lot.

Tractor green laning, never knew that was a thing even. Does look fun though.

Never heard it called that before

This business is based in Wadebridge which itself is spans the River Camel.

Fucks sake don't . I have be scouring the web looking for female size 5 red and black bike boots, that don't cost the earth. She isn't legally on the road for months yet so I have told her when I find a pair at the right price I will get them.

Cool pictures, I think you may have hit portrait mode on your phone for that last pic. BOTM candidate there, I realise there is no fly tipping in the background but it still could serve.

Yeah I think it is a horse culture thing, everything in the horses crowd has to be matchy matchy.

It was Chloe's idea, as she is obsessed with red and black, so anything bike related that is red and black on Temu may end up on that bike.

I wasn't his friend only met him by chance.

He was and that was with 2" lifts in his boots

I think the CB1000R is a very understated bike in standard trim, I think the paint job on this one brings it to life. Not convinced about the golden wheels but I think the Honda Briton style paint is lovely. The owner said that it is a custom copy of a race bike, I wouldn't know. He also told be he had special boots so that he could ride it. 50mm or 2" lift built in cost him £400 apparently. Also that the bike cost him £15k they are normally around £12K, I have no idea how much custom paint costs but I suppose £15k sounds ballpark. I also think that his plate is a ticket waiting to happen.

Just convinced a chap I’m a bull shitter . Popped out to get some bits, took the CB125 as it was easier than moving it and getting the Hornet out. Anyway got what I wanted and ended up chatting to this guy who had a CB1000R with custom paint. Anyway the conversation moved on and he asked me what I had. Told him I had a Hornet, as he was getting ready to go I went over to Bambi, Daughters name for the CB125, to leave and he gave me the bull shitting wanker side eye .

Unless the bike is a RE or Chinese

I have supposed friends that have done similar to me in years past

I have the feeling I have been stitched up by my daughter again. She has been planning all week for me to help her clean her bike fit some of the tat she bought, plus check tyre pressures, oil and stuff. So she can do it without me interfering in the future. Ok I thought. Fucking 7:00 am this morning she wakes me up to tell me she is ill, and to be fair she does have a cold or possibly flu. I say take some paracetamol and go back to bed, then she turns on the water works cause she wants the bike done and can’t do it. FFS Anyway I have spent the morning fitting the rack and box I bought her plus some of the Temu tat she has bought. Plus fitted a louder horn like I did on my bike, because my Mrs implied that I didn’t love her as much as myself if I did not. Still trying to work that out. Gotta love the way they all manage to manipulate the soft twat. To be fair I don’t mind, but I would have done it all without the scheming. Also surprised to see that the bike was made in Italy, I thought it was made in India

Very nice
