Ken Hensley, David Byron and Lee Kerslake i think

Those are my type of roads in the video, the dog is great for honing around on those.

I've been having a run on the bikes today not far just enough to warm them up, the old Africa Twin is running lovely and smooth again i wanted to just keep going on it but no tax or MOT made me head for home after a few miles. I was having a problem starting the dog and started dreading the thought of having to clean the carb on this as well, the usual procedure is full choke press starter it fires then ease the choke off, i tried everything choke on off and it was just churning over no sign of it firing. then i remembered it sometimes needs the fuel drained from the carb when its been left a while, so drained the carb and sure enough after a bit more churning it fired up. Took it for a little ride after washing it to dry it all out and as i pulled up to the house it suddenly dawned on me that i have a fitted a flat slide carb to this bike and the choke is now on the carb the choke lever on the handlebar is no longer connected to anything what a fucking plonker it's because the original choke setup is the same as the Africa Twins which i had been messing about with for the last couple of days. Just the XR to run now that hasn't been started for a month

As usual i got the dizzee Rascal gig thing all wrong apparently he was promoting his tour and played for free in Cardiff bay he turned up on a boat (shut up @busabeast) climbed onto the dock and played until the police turned up and then left on the boat nothing to do with the blue light thing that was something else, have i said i never listen to the wife before lol

Mine was chopped and had a 21" front wheel it wasn't the best LOL

My 400/4's handling was a little scary at times LOL

You might be surprised Bob i was with the X Trainer feels quite comfortable on the road and cruises happily at 50 to 55 mph will go faster but that's when things get uncomfortable and scary

Yes i forgot about that

NHS staff card, she gets shit loads of discounts with it anything from tyres to mc Donald's

He's putting on a free show tonight for blue light card holders although the grabbing ticket office is charging £6.50 booking fee

She's out all the time doing her thing which makes it easy for me to do my thing guilt free lol when she said she was going to see Dizzee Rascal in Cardiff i didn't think she was going to actually see him

That's very good of you, so far everyone we have installed for are really happy with the way they are working we recommend they switch to octopus energy as their rates are really good.

WTF i wondered why the wife got me some cans tonight and then announced she was off out bloody tart is hob knobbing in Cardiff anyone know who this is cos he's having it when i see him

Cool we have an abundance of Ash trees all around us here they grow like weeds and very fast as well, good thing is they have a low water content so make good fire wood

You forget what i ride at the moment

That reminds me of a mate of mine he planted a monkey puzzle tree in his back garden in the late 80's it was not much bigger than that tree of yours and not knowing anything about plants other than weed he wasn't sure it would survive this is it now

I always wanted to restore a DT175MX as it was the first bike i ever owned i thought it was a great bike and have some fantastic memories on it of exploring where i lived, getting chased by the Police and getting away and getting stopped by the police and not getting away LOL but after seeing a few in the flesh now i just think nah it would just be another pain in the arse to look after.

We install solar in work not me personally i hide from that work LOL are you getting battery storage and selling any surplus electricity generated and exporting back to the grid

If your selling those bits Bob i can advertise them on the TRF page for you if you like

Thanks i'll look into something like that but i really need to just ride the bike haven't done a great deal with any of them this year, i need to kick myself up my arse i and get back to it. i have only done 533 miles between MOT's on the CRF1000 fuck me skyrider is clocking more miles than me on a bike LOL

After the MOT i had a run up over the Bwlch mountain road where someone showed me how slow their car went as i flew past and he disappeared in my mirrors LOL something I've noticed for quite some years now is when i start pushing on on the bike and the adrenalin starts flowing i get a pain in my lower back like a cramp i can push on the same on my own without it but when someone else is involved i get it. I think my body must have grown a slow the fuck down mechanism after i turned 50

Had the MOT done it's a nice little old school workshop and there's always some old characters hanging around there, the owner Barry was away today so had his side kick go through the bike with a fine tooth comb glad Barry done the MOT on the dog LOL. Something that has just started on the MOT certificates is a notification comes up if there are any recalls that haven't been done on the bike. One came up on mine for a circlip on the center stand i couldn't be arsed to book it in to Honda travel there and back for a £1.50 circlip so never got it done. A few photos from the workshop not much there today

My boss has a totally restored K1 and i always thought i'd like one until i took it out, when i came back i said to him how the fuck did i ride one of these to work everyday and not die LOL Obviously a modern version would be a lot safer to ride

7 minutes between me posting that and you picking up on it your slowing down

You'd be surprised where men will go you were there for a start, If you saw my brothers ex wife you would think who the fuck would have an affair with that they must be blind but someone did
