Sir Fallsalot

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

From memory i remember mine as brown but i think it was supposed to be that Burgundy sort of colour

I think I've said before my dentist insisted on getting his whole hand in my mouth every time i was in the chair when i left i always felt like i'd been in a fight and thought it was just normal for dental work that was until i had to use a different dentist in the practice, first time with a woman and it was almost a pleasure compared to the bloke that was beating me up, so i told them at the reception i didn't want to be worked over by him again and wanted to be treated by the woman in future he was a butcher

I don't like that fuel tank and the way it sits on the frame and what the fuck are they doing with the colour looks like the designers are still arguing over whether it should be brown black white or green damn ugly bike something i would have been interested in if it hadn't fallen out the ugly tree

I had an F1 to commute on for a few years good bike bought it in kit form for £300 it came with a new Honda seat still in the wrapper which was £300 on its own so i'd bought a new seat and a bike came with it LOL

Did you ever think when you were out riding your bike someone was in riding your ex

Been raining here on and off this morning hoping it will stay dry for me to take the bike for an MOT in half hour

You only have to walk 10 minutes into town from here and you will hear half the accents of the world

About time your forecast got shit because that means we have it good again

Got a new battery for the bike today, a little trick i do is to put a piece of foam rubber under the battery terminal nuts to hold them in place it also helps start the screw when you have a few extra accessories added to the battery terminals making the screw too short to reach the nut I also bit the bullet and stripped the carbs off the bike to clean them out, couldn't see anything wrong with the main jets but both pilot jets looked blocked so cleaned them out and blew all the fuel lines out. It's now its running on both cylinders again going to have run it at least once a month from now on just to keep it going and maybe one day i'll clean the outside of the carbs LOL

Fuck is it over i thought the dead line for voting was 10:00, sorry Pedro i forgot to switch vote from Marcel to you

Done that and its all clear, i cant remember the last time i started the bike, the MOT ran up in September last year so just been sat in the corner of the garage, going to pull the plugs on the front cylinder to check them first as that's the one that's not running, Tested with the very technical process of placing a wet finger on the header pipes to see which one doesn't hiss LOL

The MOT ran out on the CRF1000 last week so while maneuvering it into a place i can get it out easier from for the MOT this Friday i thought i'd start the old Africa Twin, put key in and turns it on, everything lights up press starter and click another fucked battery as the trickle charger says it's ok, no problem though i get the Noco Boost out and away we go churning and churning and churning, took ages for it to start firing and then run but only running on one cylinder FFS so it's carbs off again, a job i hate doing on most bikes this one in particular, that's my weekend sorted, not going to attempt it until the CRF is MOT'd as i have to move too much about to get it where i can work on it

You can always put some playing cards in the spokes

Yes i was the same but there were limits i wouldn't go beyond this is the photo of the car he hit i think it was a Subaru forester, hit it so hard he turned it on its side.

He always thought he was the fastest on the road to Llandovery and i gave up riding with him because he always wanted to race but was shit on roads he didn't know as he couldn't read the road so used to get really pissed off when i'd leave him behind. He was quick on the Llandovery road because he used to ride it every day of the week so he knew it well but i could see he was the type that was happy to kill himself trying to beat you. I thought it was very selfish of him and left a girlfriend he was with for over 15 years with no home as she wasn't in the will and it went to his son who kept putting the rent up until she left even though it should of been her house. Then there was the woman he ploughed into the side of who was in a coma for two weeks and almost died luckily she recovered, and as usual the biker community blamed her for pulling out on him they totally ignored the fact he was doing over 100MPH on a 60MPH road around a left hand bend with a blind junction

My mate dead Phil always said he'd make sure he didn't draw a pension and he didn't died on the bike riding like a twat
