Neath girls really go for Swansea boys cos we're a bit slicker than the dumbass blokes there. Thankfully wife number one never got wind of any of it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTreme Posted August 4, 2023 Author Share Posted August 4, 2023 Just got the bike fuelled and washed......first time since mid June! Took €7 to fill it to the brim. Just got to wait to wait for this wall of heat to lift now! Fat chance of that according to the forecast though. What you say @Skippy? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought next week was supposed to be a bit cooler (low thirties) but having checked the weather forecast it seems not. Still going to be as hot as hell so I doubt I’ll be venturing out on the Fazer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Dipped out of helping the boys do the decorating today as they started bickering hard over where to put an armchair and totally pissed me off. So I’m going to pick up the Himalayan and go for a spin before tomorrow’s atrocious weather arrives and drop off a birthday prezzie for a friend who’s 80 today. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTreme Posted August 4, 2023 Author Share Posted August 4, 2023 It's been up on the axle stand to clean and lube the chain, then a good polishing! Looking pretty decent at the moment I'd say! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTreme Posted August 5, 2023 Author Share Posted August 5, 2023 Car wouldn't start......like it did about 6 weeks ago. Then after a few hours it started fine, but Jesus the mechanic needs to check it in it's "not starting" state. That won't happen today cos they don't work Saturday. So I had to take the wife to the horses on the bike..... I'm sure you'll be interested to know that the bike is obviously so boring that she fell asleep on the way home! Which has never happened on any other bike over the last 40 years! There we go......something else for you sad losers to troll with. The things I do to keep this board moving! 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with intermittent faults they never seem to happen at the requisite times, it will behave itself with the mechanic then as soon as old man rivers gets it back it will start again 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
