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,

More C90/C50 love

Yeah I love Bryn Terfel. His version of Sea Fever is very personalised which is fine but not as writ. Great to listen to not brilliant to learn from. Singing solos comes with experience and the confidence that brings and if you actually want to do it. I am a noisy Bugger and have to let it out . Tell your boy if he fancies it to go for it, I am sure there will be support for soloists in his choir or chorus if he shows the inclination.

I think that is spot on. I love the looks and sound of the BSA and would love one if I could have it as a garage queen to come out on sunny days. But for every day transport you could get a new Hornet for £200 more which is a whole different kettle of fish as everyday transport. Pay your money and make you choice. I would take pointy practical plastic but it doesn't stop me liking the classic looking retro.

Bass mate, This is what I am shooting for, suitable type of thing for the posh music festival we are part of. Only been in the choir 13 years and they still spell my name wrong.

Working tonight but the weather is clement so will take the bike, so looking forward to a good ride. My new Helmet is coming today so a great chance to try that out. Tomorrow I have a day off because I have a concert with my Choir at St Mawes Music festival. Bit squeaky bum time as I have two solos to sing. Old Man river from Showboat and the song of the Ireland poem Sea Fever. That’s the harder one as it is pretty technical to sing Sunday working again.

I know they were the two bikes of the night for me. Also that red XS1100 only had 1500 miles on it.

I went to Dameralls bike night last night as I finally got my mate who never rides on his CB to come out. Dry and warm so lured him out. Anyway over the course of 2 hours I guess that there were around 200 bikes that came and went. Some beautiful stuff but also loads of L plate specials with fart cans. I only took a few photos of what interested me but an enjoyable evening all the same. Also hooked up with some mates who I hadn’t seen for years which was good. Strangely enough a guy turned up in the cleanest Lotus Sunbeam I have ever seen.

Bit weedy today. The Dear Boy was less than impressed with it all.

Thanks that's interesting. I had read that the C4 Basic was a better quieter helmet than the Pro. There is only a £30 price difference between them now they have both been superseded by the C5 and discounted. I can get a C4 Basic for £299 which I thought was a good price the C5's I have seen advertised are near double that. I don't really care about coms if I am honest. I loved my old BMW/Schubert lid and thought the C4 would be a good replacement long term. Noise levels are the reason I am thinking of upgrading what I have plus I would like the utility of a Flip front lid again. My current full face had no pinlock or sun visor, and well it is comfy it is not that quiet for a full face lid. Plus I don't seem to be able to source a replacement visor for it which doesn't bode well for the future. My other lid is a cheapy Jet type open face and while convenient for a local bimble it's no use when you get on a faster road.

Lovely sunny day here so thought it would be a good one to go out. Tried to get my mate with the red CB to come along but his Darkness said no. And great day for a bimble around the clay country. Nobody about so some lovely empty dry roads, Got a chance to wind my CB up a bit and to be honest it was a lot of fun. Surprisingly good for a commuter bike. Anyway Darealls was a bit sparsely populated on the bike front, by their standards. Suppose it is silly season and all. I reckon they have sold 10 Interceptors since my last visit. They had some new interesting stock just the same. Also a nice old school Gixxer turned up outside. I was quite impressed with this CF Moro 650 GT for just 4.6k. Just 2500 miles on it on a 71 plate. Not something I would buy but a lot of bike for the money.

I resemble the remark
