  1. The No 1, YZ490 was one of those bikes that all my mates said don't buy it you will regret it, well guess what i bought one and they were wrong it was a wicked machine just when i thought i'd sussed it out it would do something to surprise me it was such an adrenalin rush riding it on the dirt and the road sometimes. Broke my first bone on that bike and after i was healed i was back on it doing the same daft stuff the only thing i regret was selling it.
  2. Not my photos one of the TRF members were there today thought the photos were worth showing
  3. Fucking van, cars, bike jackets, sheds everywhere LOL
  4. And dirty how much of a ride did you have before the unexpected release of air
  5. I only need them for reading but whats annoying is i need different ones for different things like using my PC now i need 1x magnification if i'm on my laptop or working it's 2x and if there's small print involved then i'm up to 3x does my head in
  6. That must have been scary they will be ok for local riding they have improved a lot over the years and they use them in the dakar bikes now so i don't think they will have a problem with my weekend jaunts LOL
  7. It's lit now all toasty in here haven't a clue why everyone passing outside is coughing their lungs up though
  8. Not that i'm aware of Bob but in 2022 all new wood burning stoves have to be built and installed to meet some eco design and standard to reduce harmful emissions
  9. I wasn't alive then lol but i would have liked it . One of my strangest memory's as a kid was i dreamt the cutting was a tunnel and i was walking through it, later on in life i learnt it was a tunnel and was cut out to make the track into a twin track and using the stone for doubling the width of the viaduct, this is a photo of it My parents house is about where the tip of the crane boom is
  10. That's because their not road legal and shouldn't be used on the highway LOL i'd never fit them to my XR or 650 but the X Trainer doesn't do a huge amount of road and what i do on the road is always below 50mph. Cant see how they would cause a blow out as there's no air in them they just get softer and shrink with time, only thing that i could see happening is the tyre coming off the rim if the mousse got too soft or start breaking up if not looked after properly or not changed when their fooked, put 3000 miles on the last ones had to go down a tyre size on the rear to make it firm again but the front was still going strong
  11. Spent today cutting wood and splitting it at my parents home ready for me to burn next winter not a great deal of it will need a lot more I was looking around and there's going to be some shit to move when they pass on lol. All the stone in the walls in these photos was dug out of the ground and built by my father. I did help as a pre teen as well, just looking at what has been dug i recon over the years he's hand dug hundreds of tons to level the land off there is similar work done at the front as well, he also built the house himself with help from his brother and father All the trees to the left here may have to come down as there is a 100ft drop into a railway cutting and they have just electrified the line so falling trees could damage the overhead supply So to make the railways greener by electrifying the line they have to cut all the threes in this screen shot down the ones on the right of the line are on my dads property and they have suggested he's got to cut them down he's too old to give a shit now though lol And these looking the other way
  12. That's very nice of you will breakfast be included
  13. You now own a bike perfect for mousse's Bob it takes so many what if's away, granted they don't last long and are expensive but worth every penny. The Beta was the first bike i have ever had them on and will always use them on that type of bike from now on
  14. He doesn't slag off other peoples bikes that's why, You cant expect to slag off peoples pride and joy because you don't like it and not get shit back personally i quite like the CB500 and might have a variant of it in the future but yours is shit especially that top box
  15. Lithium batteries don't like the cold they sometimes need waking up before trying to start the bike by putting the lights on for a short time
  16. Saul for everything to become good for the environment we have to put up with shit products most vehicle paint is now water based so not as tough and hard wearing as the cellulose paints of old
  17. My 2016 Africa Twin was made in Japan and like i said before if my bike was like my mates it might have put me off Honda all together he had so many issues to do with build quality
  18. That's definitely not me i can't bunny hop and heard you can't breath at 10mph so stay well away from there LOL
  19. If you were 70 years old in the 40’s you would be talking the same way about the japs you’re looking back at what they have achieved not what they could achieve their bikes build quality is getting worse and the chunk stuff is getting better. I can see that between my old and new model Africa twin
  20. Not yet your right but they are shoving them in all sorts now so it wont be long before we find out if they can hack it or not
  21. FFS stop telling him where i live
  22. Even the Japs started from nowhere at some point it doesn't happen overnight the chinks are trying we will have to wait until they either succeed or fail though https://www.rideapart.com/news/631796/kove-dakar-debut-2023/
