Sir Fallsalot

Out with the wife tonight so probably recovering tomorrow, Sunday i'm hoping to get a ride in just for some exercise the weather don't look too good but that don't bother me too much. booked next Thursday and Friday off work and just look at that sparkly yellow thing next Thursday

Funny enough i washed the guts of the helmet i use trail riding this week, i have another for the non sweaty stuff. I usually change them when their totally fucked. I've almost pushed my spine out my arsehole at least half a dozen times this year alone by hitting my head on a low branches trail riding so there's no way i could afford to change it every time it gets a bump like they say you should.

An Intercom is something i'm interested in but wont buy because music has a huge influence on the way i ride i just cant afford to lose my licence because a good track comes on For me its got to be heated grips its the difference between staying out or going home. I remember the first time i got to use them it was on the XR riding a mountain road in freezing fog i could see my mate in front reaching back to his silencer to warm his hand just as i was turning my heated grips to the low setting as my hands were getting a bit hot

I think its a chrome bore so its just piston and rings and being a 2 stroke its half a days work but i shall fix it when its broke

That's how i'm treating it, its not having a hard life and only opened it up a handful of times it pulls so good at low revs i just short shift through the box very rarely do i need more than 50% throttle

Yes service is all in hours run. The book says new piston and rings at 60 hours i'm on 42 hours and its 3 months old, I'm sticking to that old motto if it ain't broke don't fix it

Why thankyou kind sir, i am enjoying it at the moment trouble is the more i enjoy it the closer i get to having to rebuild it, bloody service intervals are crazy if you go by the book but i'm taking that as competition use not trail riding like i'm doing

I'll have you know it doesn't say that i ride legally honest your Honer

A bit of ELO always cheers me up

I started the eighties at the grand old age of 12 so no i don't remember it

If it works it will be worth it to me. To replace it there are only two bikes i can think of that will do and one is the XR650L and the other is the DR650 but i'd have to spend thousands to buy either of those rather than the hundreds to get this thing going

Trouble is Bob it wasn't just the cam it was the rocker arms and the rocker arm shafts as well i saved myself about £40 buying from Dave silvers but still a lot of cash. The parts alone are almost what i paid for the bike 10 years ago

I'm thinking about any other damage caused by the lack of oil that i don't know about yet. As for the the oil feed pipe i'm in the process of putting a temporary oil pressure gauge on there and once i know what pressure it runs fitting a permanent pressure switch with warning light Something like this on the dash will do i think

I think i'll try some sand this month instead of the mud

My cheap camshaft never arrived so I've had my money back. Bit the bullet and ordered from Honda yesterday, this thing better fucking work after this or i'm going full Basil Faulty on it

Did you change out of second gear the one i took out was doing about 75mpg

I got to admit i really enjoyed that bike in DCT form but agree about the rear suspension i thought my spine was going to bust out the top of my head going from Abergwesyn to Llyn Brianne

My mind is fried when it comes to remembering things like this but i did remember a few today Hawkwind in the Bristol bike show. It was blowing a gale and i was too pissed to go to the stage they did sound good from the beer tent though Debbie Harry at kent custom show again too pissed Meatloaf at a sit down event somewhere which was weird but i was sober and he put on a great show I'm sure there is more but i'll have to ask the wife

I haven't been there myself yet Bob but have heard about it, doesn't look like the type of place they would enjoy someone covered in mud dripping everywhere though

Check out the wife's T shirt taken a few weeks ago LOL we've lost count of how many times we've seen Engine and dumpy's. I'm not into going out of my way to watch bands but if their on where i am i will watch them the wife is mad into it and so is my boy now

I had to take the welsh out of that it was making sound better than he is

I've seen him racing a few times and he really was that fast i just couldn't get my head around how he done it scared me just watching

I might be out tomorrow but not sure about any reports though

I wonder If that's the famous David Knight enduro rider or some random David knight

As opposed to real shit
