They did, I am probably biased as I don't really like time travel things normally. I thought Bodies was clever but never really my cup of tea.
-
We just finished it, entertaining but I found the end a bit messy. Like all time travel stories it never really makes sense.

Yes she wouldn’t let me get rid of Mrs Robot or her Trojan Horse we made for another school project. They haven’t aged well as they were never intended to last but she likes them so they stay gathering dust.

Off all my kids the youngest is the one who will learn to do stuff and listen. I am sure she will help although there maybe a clash when she tries to tell me how. She spent many hours working with me in the shed before she discovered horses. There is still a pink toolbox up there although it is pretty dusty now. Here is a couple of pics from 2016 of her working on a school project ( Mrs Robot). She is currently picking my brains about all things bike for when she turns 17 and gets her first one. Must be black, cool and have gears she says. Baring in mind she was only 16 on the 18th of this month its going to be a long 12 months. Of course I will do it for her and moan, that is my job after all. She is saving her own money to help pay for the Livery of the new horse out of her wages from the job she got. She tells everyone she is the favourite child, which I have never said and do try not to treat them all differently but she is the baby of the family.

Oh fantastic news the youngest has decided to switch stables. Gonna cost thats for sure. She has informed me that she will need a tack room at the new place. What she meant is she will need a shed to keep her horse stuff in. whichever way it is gonna be a pain in the ass. There is a good 8x4 shed up the garden that I put on a wooden 6"x6" frame a few years ago, so I just need to get rid of the crap that is in it, about 4 push bikes and scooters. Which can go to the charity shop and should have done so years ago. Then take it up to the new stable and put it together, roof and stain it, plus shelves and hooks etc. Total pain in the arse. But as she keeps telling me she is the favourite child.

Ian Seabrooke is a sort of interesting guy. I do watch Hubnut quite often but he is the biggest lash up merchant. I liked his last video on the Ha Viva and Bedford HA. Entertaining though.

Honda Pacific Coast 800 is hot stuff. Boot and all

Sunbeam 500 inline twin.

Went with some mates up to Kitt Hill bike meet for breakfast this morning. There were 6 of us Motor Guzzi V7 Stone, Motor Guzzi Griso, Ducati Multistrade, 1973 Triumph Tiger, Harley 883 Sportster and my Hornet. Lots of interesting bikes there including what looked like Donald Trumps Busa.
-
I think a lot of the weather missed us, still lots of debris on the road this morning though. Lot of police out and about to. Not that I was doing anything wrong

Had a result last night, I looked on the online rota system and saw that I had no clinician for my shift so rather than drive to Launceston just to be sent home I rung the control room to see what they wanted me to do and they gave me the night off. Still get paid and got to sleep in my own bed. Nice . Put another 55 miles on the Hornet this morning but the weather was pretty shit so rain mode being careful.
-
Me neither that's why I am going a different route. Be ok for charging a power bank or gopro/drone batteries or the like I suppose.
-
Yes it has a USB-C charging port under the pillion seat. The idea is to connect your phone through the Honda Road Sync app and have the phone under the seat charging whilst controlling it from the handle bars for phone music and nav which is fine. But I like using my Quadlock hence the need for a charging port on the handle bars.
-
Fitted a USB charging point to my Hornet today and found this. Like the Deep Purple Double Album
-
Working tonight and Sunday. Probably riding the bike.

I haven’t done 100 miles yet but I am loving it. Feels like a pumped up taughter CB500. Makes a lovely nose and feels like it wants to go but I am running it in so no wide open throttle or full power on the riding modes yet.
-
Out play with my new toy this morning and thought I would get a few pictures. Very pretty light this morning.
-
I don't really want to retire to be honest. Don't get me wrong I am halfway there as I am only contracted for 19 hours a week at the moment by choice. I do more when I want and probably work full time most weeks. My current job facilitates this. But whatever it is I want to be doing something until I peg it, my mental health suffers when I don't work.

Obviously new and everything is pretty tight, sounds really good on the standard pipe and you can feel it is an angry fucker. Wants to go even though I have yet to run it in. Haven't found it jerky on and off throttle or overly tippy into the bends like most of the Youtubers are moaning about. Feels like a CB500 with better brakes and tighter handling, which for me is perfect. I am chuffed to bits with it. Probably some gushing to follow once I have some more miles on it.

Triumph’s Scrambler 400 X Offers More Than the Speed 400
Saul replied to Hugh Janus's topic in MOTORCYCLE CHAT
I think it is a lot to do with the individual salesperson personality as well. Some good some monumental arseholes and every option in between. Although you do get a vibe from the dealerships as well. I know when I went into the Plymouth Harley dealership they summed me up as just looking. They were right but friendly enough about it. -
It will never be this clean again. Old and new
