Sir Fallsalot

The bike might be ok but I'm not sure i will make it the friday night has fucked me up the last few years you should try there its a good night of naughtiness

I went 10 years without a bike got into 4x4's and done that for a while, i did have use of my brothers MZ125 for a few of those years strange thing is i got back into the bikes just after the kids were born which is when i really should have given them a rest

I think if i was Frankenstein the dog would be my monster. So as said earlier in the week the dogs oil pump was starved of oil due to a suspected collapsed oil pipe this is it cut open its squashed when straight and when fitted its bent so definitely the problem Making a solid pipe artery to the heart of the dog has failed for the moment as my flaring tool wont work on the stainless pipe, What i made fits but wont seal at the frame. I haven't given up on it though just put it aside until i find out how the dog runs if and when i resurrect it In the meantime I got the new second hand oil pipe and after fitting the blood was running from the frame to the dogs heart freely.Turning the engine over with the CDI disconnected had the dogs life bloody up in it's head after messing about a bit getting rid of air locks which i was quite pleased about After this it was time to bring the dog to life i reconnected its brain and switched on the power and guess what Really chuffed It don't sound bad at all, i shall recheck the tappets tomorrow and then release it into the wild to see if it survives

You crack me up Bob

I would have been hoping they weren't putting meat up there if it was me

@boboneleg did they starve your brain of oxygen during the leg op i think you've gone barmy

I remember another time i couldn't see an owl i was in a petrol station in Bonvilston many years ago i had just paid for fuel and the guy serving me said have you seen our owl i said no wondering what the hell he was on about, he said go in there and have a look, it was a barn type building alongside the garage, in i goes and looks everywhere up in the rafters, window sills shelves on the walls everywhere i couldn't see it. Went back to tell the guy i couldn't see it and he said its definitely there have another look so back in i goes thinking this guy is taking the piss out of me looks around again couldn't see no damn owl by this time i'd lost interest and some leaflets caught my eye on the table in front of me when i turned to look there was the owl on the table a few feet from where i was standing it was a barn owl just sat there didn't move seemed quite tame i went back to the guy and said i wasn't expecting it to be sat in front of me so didn't see it.

Well i hope your nephew appreciates it it's a very nice gift. My daughter past her test last week and picked up a little car on the weekend for her I've never seen her so excited

As i kid i was in a quarry below my parents house with my father and he said to me look at that Owl pointing at the ivy covered quarry wall and for the life of me i couldn't see it he kept pointing saying by there look i was at a loss i thought he was winding me up and then the owl moved it's head it was less than eight feet from us and huge i would never have seen it if it hadn't moved it blended so well with the background

You managed to get all the blood out of the boot (trunk) upholstery then Tym

Yeah he can have the dead one

Great photos, i hear a owl hooting regularly around here in the night but haven't seen it yet

Is Clive after a new bike

I'm the same as Bob would love the DR650 or the XR650L to be available here, the only upgrade i would like on them is fuel injection fed up of messing with carbs As for a bike that isn't made anymore it would probably be a CR500 love to duel sport one of those but fetching too much money for me

I meant carry the speed through the bends

I used to ride like a lunatic years ago but now i'm happy to do the speed limit but try and carry it through the bends

I was talking to a guy years ago on a GS and we got to talking about different bikes and when i said i had four he said i wish i could afford four bikes, I said if he sold his GS he could as it was a £16000 bike and my four bikes cost me less than £6000 my fifth bike turned up after an accident a few years ago and the compensation from that is the only reason i could buy a new bike.

That business would fry my head one is enough for me

Its really sad she died i wanted to shake her hand

wait until you have five not only can you not imagine giving one up but you cant decide which one to ride, There have been days where I've ended up doing something else because i couldn't make my mind up

don't work for me either

You have a way of making a bacon and egg sandwich sound posh

It's a damn fix i tells you, i almost died getting to where i took that photo and what happens @Grasshopper's Ride turns up after no appearance for weeks flutters her eyelashes and boom wins bike of the month WTF going on here
