XTreme Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 And it's looking brutal here! Unless I can get out really early, which is unlikely because we have to feed the horses, I won't be doing much! Never known a year when so many different things have contributed to sidelining me: Shit weather, then waiting to part ex the 650, then the fucked 1200, and now a fucking wall of heat! Oh well......I got some work to clear so I guess that's going to be the highpoint of my wipeout weekend! What are you lot doing......other than fucking trolling me?

Two......and they have to be topped up with hay and have their buckets of granules! But to give you an idea it was 30c and rising before 10AM this morning.....so there's no escaping this unless we get up at 6AM. And that's not an option!

Tym Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 You modern city folk are funny, mum said grandpa used to have to spray the chickens down with water to keep them cool, This was during the great depression so loosing even a few chickens to the heat could cost a family its fortune. I know, its easy for y;all today thatys nice, its not like it can get hard again, unless, Putin.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catteeclan Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 I foresee nothing but housework as we've just had another roof put on the conservatory so once the plasters dry there'll be painting, have I mentioned I bloody hate painting. I have the boxed skirting out of the front room laying on the cons floor as it's the only place in the house I can get them to paint, front rooms full of the stuff out of the conservatory. TDM wiring loom looks like a bust mattress as the alarms buggered, not that it's a prob as I have two other bikes but I'm painting anyway. Longing for Tuesday when I'm off to collect daughter to make untold noise and mayhem back home for a few days. Might get her painting. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTreme Posted July 23, 2022 Author Share Posted July 23, 2022 Got out for an hour at 9.30.....it was already 33c! This bike is fucking brilliant......runs like a watch. More air in the front tyre has improved the turn-in a lot, plus I'm getting more used to it now so it's just a matter of modifying my riding style to suit this one after 20 months on the 650GS. I didn't have time to get used to the 1200GS because the POS was always fucked, so my comparison will always be with the 650GS. Talking of fucked bikes, I can report that there were no oil leaks, brake failures, strange whirring sounds and flashing warning lights from the dashboard, or engine spluttering. Yes.....it's what people term a boring Honda! I've had 14 of them and they were all boring......in the sense that they always worked flawlessly and never gave any issue whatsoever. At my age I'll settle for boring! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
