Tracer got me to the island but not without fault. 50 miles into my journey the engine light came on and kicked the cruse control off. Running fine so kept going. Getting some noises off the chain too, more bloody money.

i’ll worry about getting home Monday.

Bike got me home yesterday with only one hick up 20 miles from home? Will have to wait from my patch lead to arrive before I have a clue to what's going on.
Dropped the oil when I got home too.

Just been out for a cheeky 75 miles bimble on the CBF with my Shadow.    Partly to try out my new screen and partly just to be out there.   
 Dropped into Dameralls for an oil filter and a few bits.   Obviously Shadow had to have a Sausage sandwich then got all unnecessary because boys in Dameralls. 😳

Did crack a smile for once.  
 

Chuffed to bits with the new screen massive improvement over the stock one and with the deflector much quieter as well.    Actually hear the bike keys rattling at times and stuff in my tank bag moving around.    Much more road noise as well but that was obviously masked by wind blast before.

We then set off for Bodmin Scooter Centre as my boy needs a new rear tyre for his Ped. 
Then home.   

Gonna wait for the sun move so I can service the CBF.   To Scorchio out there at the moment.

If she's anything like my daughter that's a scheming smirk, she's planning something.:classic_laugh:

Got one off eBay before I went as the rabbits have had fun with the original. Can't suppose the seller would have known it was dodgy.
Original back on and awaiting chain and sprocket kit. Noise from the chain was down to worn links where O or X ring seals missing and worn.
I'm guessing they didn't like one of the chain sprays I've been using.

Just got back from Bridlington, it needs some urgent improvements,  I think a bulldozer would be the best option..... 😂 

Scarborough tomorrow,  which is only a small step above Bridlington....I may race around Olivers Mount race track while we there....

 

is it possible to go fast in a Dacia? 😂

It was pretty nice but had been well detailed.  Definitely see it was used, plenty of age related stuff, plus 08 with 19K on it I thought £4000 was strong money for it.

She's always planning something 😉 

Problem is she's knows she is the golden child and that I am essentially way to soft with her.  🙄

She is encouraging you to spec up the CB ready for when it is hers.

The problem is she wants to upgrade it to a Red CBR650R, which isn't on the cards.  She told me today that I should get one because I deserve it 🤣.  I am totally happy with what I have but she has plans.  🤣

To be fair a fuel injected bike will be better to restrict, so it makes sense.

I do get that but the £5K difference in value is the issue.  Opposite to her understanding I'm not flush enough for those sort of whims, plus I have two other kids.   😳

You quite obviously don't care about her at all.
