Sir Fallsalot

What is it you do in your lovely command center

Considering you didn't give a toss what your hair was like in the 70's judging by your photos you seem overly concerned now how times change

I just sorned the CRF but the dog and the XR are still going just in case i get an hour out. I got the 4 bikes to insure in March got to have it but cant use the bikes bloody annoying

And black pudding you can keep the beans though ?

I was going to say swap the screws for stainless ones then thought why waste your time its not like their ever going to get wet and go rusty

less than 400 miles in 8 months and i'm paying insurance and tax for that ?

Cool stuff @Bruce and you traded all that coolness for a fucking boat

One of the things the dirty bastards were doing here was picking the shit up putting it in a bag and then hanging it on a tree branch or throwing it in the grit bins id rather it be left on the floor than that. There's someone in the day when i'm in work leaving their dog shit on the pavement outside my house. The fucker will be wearing it if i catch them unless their a big fucker

I think my first time on a bike was on the back of my uncles BMW exactly the same as this one. it was after that i started dreaming about bikes My first go on a bike solo was on a friends old trail bike haven't a clue what it was i was probably about 12 year old i had a straight line fixation and almost went down a 20ft grass bank on it but somehow turned away from it at the last second. My second go on a bike was a different friends OSSA 250 trials bike, i think i was around 13. Now that one did go over a 20ft drop. I rode wobbly along what was the old canal at the time and when i started to turn around the bike got the better of me and went up a grass bank which had about a 20ft drop the other side into the the cutting they were digging out for the new dual carriageway to Merthyr, I had managed to drop the bike on the edge as it went over and was holding onto it with all my strength but i couldn't hold it and over it went i can still picture it hitting the floor front wheel first on full lock i climbed down to it but couldn't start it as i didn't know it needed to be in neutral to kick it. In the meantime my mate turned up looking for me, i told him i flipped the bike trying to ride over the rocks, he congratulated me on getting to where i was on a first go as he struggled riding it out lol. i found out later he got rid of the bike shortly after because it had a twisted frame ? At about 14 or 15 my mate had a C90 which is what i really learned to ride on, we went everywhere on it taking it in turns to ride it totally illegal searching the valleys for pussy to impress Next came my first bike it was a DT175mx, well i needn't mention what trouble that got me into It was in real good condition and everything worked on it. Looked like this one Then i made one of the worst mistake of my life i swapped the DT for a Honda CB400N superdream thinking i could swap it for a 125 easier but how wrong i was, all i could get being young and easy to rip off was a CB100N, but i was now road legal and had started my life of two wheeled adventures

I see what you mean looked like the driving head is a little too small for the job and pushing the bearing in on the taper part rather than the top of the bearing

Good work @Grasshopper's Ride ? fixing things myself always gives me a good feeling of achievement. I've found a copper/hide mallet a much better tool than a rubber mallet for hitting things

I'll be having a few bottles of Desperados if that lazy boy of mine gets off his ass and gets me them

You haven't had it two minutes and you got it on the dirt already So is it soulless or not, come on i want to hear how it rides

If he's into grave robbing he needs to visit Cefn cemetery in Merthyr you didn't have to go digging deep for those bodies.

I like it especially the colour ? you meet the nicest people on a Honda?

No welsh water do this every now and again they just decide they've over spent and stop all new projects until existing ones are complete it last happened to us in 2011 we all ended up working in London for a year on a Wessex water job hope that don't happen again the drinking almost killed me LOL

Actually there's loads for electricians at the moment its just not our kind of work. we've had 8 on furlough since Christmas and most of them have been working not sat in the house doing nothing

We took men on about 8 months ago because welsh water told us to accelerate the job in Llanelli and then last month they pulled the plug on all their new projects we've finished the scheme 2 months early as they asked so now we have no work to go to until march

Well this weekend i will spend thinking myself lucky, we ended this week by making 6 of our guys redundant some i'm really sad to see go and others i don't particular care about but still not a nice thing for them

That's right @Pedro i'd be happy if the only thing stopping me from riding was high winds

I bought a new pair of boots wore them once the left foot leaked so sent them back got a replacement and have worn them once now dying to get out more to see if these leak before the bloody warranty runs out

I traded the VFR for the Africa Twin in 1993 to slow me down @boboneleg but all it did was reduce my top speed i was still a twat in the twisties and i was a bigger twat when i rode on my own, when with others i tend to ride as they do. I have slowed down a lot over the the last 10 years but i still have my moments where i just go off on one. I owned the VFR for four years and had a speeding ticket every year. I also had i few run ins with the police i wont put up in print on it so it had to go and i also decided i couldn't be trusted on anything sporty so stuck to the trail bikes or naked bikes to keep the top speed down.
