XTreme Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Weather looking very good here....... Bike looking very good too......still more detailing to do but that'll be an ongoing thing. Trying to get everything as I want it in one hit will kill me at my age! So I'm going to be Styling and Profiling.......no idea where at the moment though. The Dark Motorcycling locations are a fair distance away......so those are for later on in the year. What you got planned? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope I've been working from home all week, luckily I've let the office side of my job pile up as its been so busy on site and used this week to clear it, after this week i think if i hadn't had this time at home i would never of caught up with it. I thought i could see the light at the end of the tunnel today but it turned out it was some fucker with a torch bringing me more work 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Fallsalot Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Tomorrow I'll probably change the engine oil and filter on the 650 and maybe rebuild the front forks see what's going on in there after fitting heavier springs a while ago 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasshopper Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Well I just got back from the weekly fuel run and my underpants are wet..... because it was very RAINY and WINDY! It was nuts, no visibility and brakes, what brakes, those are only good for the summer time right? lol. So ya that was exciting. I'm now going to finish my latest video and edit some photos. Tomorrow looks rainy again so I think I will head into the forest and get muddy. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of weather I never start any vehicle specifically to go for fuel, but then again I live one km away from a fuel station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to ride around 15 - 20km (depending on direction) to get fuel. Friday is our get warmed up for the weekend ride and we always get fuel. Then come Saturday and Sunday we can head into the backcountry straight away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tym Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Well i call Friday the weekend so i took Tomos for a spin. Her first job was to be a postie bike. Then a mad adventure through town and around the coastline! Wind in my hair if i had any kind of chit! Rode through town and buzzed all the people drinking outside the Brewery pub due to Cornhole rules, eat my smoke, i cried....!...lol Turns out being transported laying on its side allowed tranny oil to short the electricals, the guy tuned the carb, soldered a negative ground, she;s good to go...about 53mph it seems with the jet kit sproket and pipe my oldest brother had bought, well into the 40mphour range easy. they arnt allowed to go over 28 mph when they sell them. 70cc seems like a waste she;s way to fast now. Works fine off road! You cant carry a GS ya know! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Tomorrow I shall take a short ride to Ericeira, probably the last one while the weather's amazing, and will enjoy that cool vibe for a day or two. On the way there I will stop by my favourite hilltop cafe where I will attempt to style and profile if the place is Covid friendly and not crowded. If it is crowded, I will sulk and carry on to stop somewhere less cool to have coffee. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
