Sir Fallsalot

Would have been nice to see it as an advisory the diff is mounted on 3 bushes this being one of them got an advisory on the other two this year

I don't mind him being a jobsworth i want to know when things are wearing out so i can keep on top of them This was a bush he missed last year i spotted it just by laying on the floor and looking at the rear diff plain as the nose on your face

I agree its the only time i look at mine and rely on them telling me if there's something wrong but i don't think the place i take it has looked at it properly for the last few years because the list of advisories he gave me this year didn't appear between last years and this years MOT i know because the thing has barely turned a wheel

They were talking about bringing in that type approval shit here many years ago where you had to buy genuine parts not aftermarket ones and parts like brake pads were included in that, they were even on about not changing the tyre the bike came with so if your bike came with a shit tyre from new you were stuck with it thank fuck it never went anywhere.

didn't you know Pete is sola powered, when it gets dark he shuts down

I know your game you put him on the Honda thinking he would get bored and fall asleep giving you a quiet afternoon

Temperature here today was 2 deg warmer than yesterday but it felt 4 deg colder fecking freezing, on the faster road sections my heated grips were fighting a loosing battle and it didn't help i had summer gloves on and only a T shirt under my jacket the dirty bits i'm never cold on the speed is low so no wind chill and your body is working harder so you generate heat

Had another day on the bike today only took one photo as we were too busy riding Obligatory photo from Miriam's bench

You do know your bike is not made of sugar don't you

My god man you've turned into an old woman

Glad you showed up everyone was worried there was talk of flouncing and it looked like there was going to be a mass gravel trap search at one point looking forward to the pic's

I thought that but they are metal and bolted directly to the handlebars so no damping there the bike feels smooth though the bars but you notice the vibration in the footrests as soon as you get on it but you stop noticing it pretty quick

You've been spying on me i thought i saw something in the woods it was a flash from your binocular lenses i believe

I usually do as well but i kept putting it off today for some reason probably because it never went above 4c all day and i couldn't find it LOL

That's a thought it will be in all the time when it snows or wont it be an outdoor cat anyway

Forgot about that, it works great sticks out enough so i cant even see my elbow and one thing that surprised me was it doesn't vibrate as much as the one on the XR or the Dog does except when its ticking over that is

Old age Pete i used to be able to hold on as long as i liked when i felt like i needed a wee but now i cant and forget about it until its too late and i really have to go

Fuck i bet that can shit and piss some

Managed to persuade myself to go out on the bike this afternoon same old story didn't feel like going out but once i was out i didn't want to go home Usual route over Eggy this old girl was blocking the track and wouldn't move so thought i'd take a photo but she mooved on as i went for the camera Wanted to check out a couple of lanes i hadn't ridden before the first one was challenging enough to make it interesting but short enough not to wear me out no photos of that one but this was the other pretty easy going and mostly broken tarmac got to check with the council to see if its legal now Followed some bike tracks though the forestry this is as far as i could go or should i say let myself go on my own might have to come back with a mate to explore further. the bike is laying down because it was too steep and soft to use the stand and i was busting for a piss been holding it in for a few hours almost pissed myself trying to get it out Dropping back out of the forestry the way i came in looked a lot steeper from here than when i rode up Headed back to the forestry near to where my parents live and had a little play riding over a small log very tame to what the enduro boys do but after half a dozen goes i was pooped i need more bike time for sure Headed home from here down my secret lane near my home haven't been up it for a while next time me thinks

How you getting on with the leg now Bob i see your doing quite a bit of walking now so i presume its all good again

Just sent a poo sample off, got a bowel screening kit in the post this morning i think i'm at that age where i need to find a doctor with small hands

No good asking me you just quoted my post where i admit i know fuck all about it
