Of course it would, but nostalgia is strong. I know my CB is probably the best bike package I have had but doesn’t stop me hankering after a big old Beamer or smoker. Not going there but fond memories.

It’ll be all over as soon as Wilder lands a right hand. Sad really, don’t want to see that happen to Joshua. He needs to stop.

Yeah that cam chains and transfer cases. I liked the XS1-B. 1973 I think. But if I was going to buy something from that era probably be a big 2 stroke. Maybe a T500 or the like. All dream land I have no intention of going down that black hole.

Yes it is. We are going to Bude bike night tomorrow and he is actually going to ride his Indian Scout. I have never seen the thing move and I have known him years.

I went with my mate today as he is after another bike. Specifically a Yamaha XS 650 US Custom. First one we looked at was dog rough and pissing oil, for £2.5k. Not the right one. The second one was a much better prospect only 16,000 miles really tidy original Damerells bike owned by a retired Damerells mechanic. That was spot on but £4k. If it was my money that would have been the one but my mate was undecided. The same chap also had a XS1100 with 300 miles on it. An XS750, an XS1-B and a 1981 DT175. All immaculate and for sale from his own collection. Wish I could have got some photos to show but the chap wasn’t keen to have them shared around so I respected his wishes. Anyway after that we headed to Damerells for a cuppa and sandwich. I got chatting to a chap who has just ordered a new Yellow Hornet today for August delivery. Anyway Damerells was low on stock but it is silly season. The line of sold bikes was long. Saw a nice Harris Yamaha outside Damerells, believe it had a R1 motor but not entirely sure. I have also come to the conclusion that Damerells is a sort of day care centre for silly old fuckers with too much time on their hands And before anyone says I do resemble that remark and my mate is 8 years my senior

I know it's real but nobody cares though, apart from royalists who can swear if they want. Certainly not headline material to my mind, just the gutter press sewing division between those that will and the those that "Hate Britain" and won't as always. I think they are evil and manipulative in the games they play. Rant over

Yeah but you don't want to be believing in that rag. They were trying to peddle the idea that Russia was planning to invade Britain last week.

I do like A K75. Cool bike. I remember test riding one years ago. Wish I bought it but I was lured away by a K100RS. The 75 would have been a much better fir for me with hindsight.

Nah it wasn’t Fred, Twas gold paint complete with brush strokes in it.

Not sure it’s a cool bike but I did think someone should have taken the gold paint away from this fella before he got near the bike. The photo doesn’t do his vandalism justice but I felt a bit self conscious taking more pictures of the hideous thing.

My Honda is not a bummer

Day shift ain’t so bad

Yep and battery out the smoke alarm

Happy Birthday Pete. 69 I do hope I live that long

Worky worky this weekend. Got Monday off Actually sitting outside a house in Bude as I write this. GP is in doing her magic.

I no medic I just work with them, but my understanding is that we do have a level of protection from the vaccines and having had Covid in the past. Really you need Slowleys expertise for a proper answer. I wouldn’t worry to much just carry on being careful, as we have been over the last 3 years.

Interesting company while I went to the bank this morning. Not a massive HD fan but I did like that Sportster. All blacked out engine cases and wheels, no shiny suits it. The 125 rider was drooling all over it.

Weren’t they such naughty boys. Prolly all dead now I would guess. Not many brain cells between them.

It’s been around for a few weeks. This sort of thing is part of life now, shit but every day shit.

Ready for travel.

I like them. New to me but I know what I will be Spotifying at work tonight.

Just browsing through Indeed for a job and was looking at a company rating and found this review. I so hope it is real as it made me laugh quite alot.

That's a great photo mate. I don't know where Paolo's musical tastes lie but a great bass in hiding, almost, is John Bromley who is a folk singer with Kimbers Men. Hellofva Bass though and must have been classically trained. He is the only Bass of any fame that I have met. Mind you Basses are common down here, think of Welsh Tenors, the same is true of Basses in Cornwall. Especially if you listen to older recordings from choirs down here. Here's John,
