I had the pleasure of a conversation with a conspiracy theorist the other day and when I say “pleasure” I mean WTF?!?

Now keep in mind that this guy engaged me in conversation, I didn’t speak to him. Talking about going down the rabbit hole, I imagine it was like talking face to face with @zzzak. His entire life is dominated by complete fantasy where he is being sought by clandestine forces. He pretty quickly decided that I had pictures of him and that people had told me things about him even though we had just met and he had initiated contact. It was full blown mental illness. In a short time he asked me if I was police, military, mossad, a Freemason and no I didn’t feed into his paranoia, he was a complete fruitcake. The care in the community system has definitely failed, it might be time to go back to funny farms and lobotomies. By the time I got away from him I was open to getting a lobotomy myself.

you should of poked him in the eye and calmly walked away .... its the only way to deal with fruit cakes.

It's amazing how it looks like you are talking about someone else since you switched to they/them pronouns.

Bin bit busy the last couple of days but still here.  Got a 100 mile bimble in on the CBF yesterday and get the dash  and rear cams set up.  I have worked out to get the video off the mounted cams but it is a little protracted tis a learning curve.  Interesting to watch the tyre pressure rise as the tyres warmed up.  I knew it happened but was interesting to see it happen in real time.  I do like the Aoocci thinger I have fitted to the bike, a toy I know but useful and interesting to me.    Spent some time on Shadows bike this morning as she picked up a rear puncture.  Fixed with a repair kit, it was in a safe place to do so.  Also noticed that she has covered 2100 miles since her birthday  last October.  Think she will need a new tyre in the next 1000 miles or so.  I took her CB125F out for a 10 mile spin after doing the tyre, all good.  I must say that it is a thoroughly pleasant little thing to ride, I don't want one but would commute on such a thing if I worked within 10 to 15 mile of home.  Very frugal on fuel and comfy, if dog slow.  I remember from riding it in the dark that the lights are very good for any bike let alone a 125.

Are they available Clive.  Seems a waste of a decent bike for the sake of a black box.

I tend to attract them as well, I always put it down to me being a decent, pleasant and approachable individual, not sure why you attract them, unless you are hiding your light under a bushel  on here. 🤣

The early model WK650Tr used a CDI manufactured by Ducati Veglia (not Ducati bike manufacturer) and most of post 2016 bikes used a CDI manufactured by Bosch, but the earlier model cannot utilise the later Bosch CDI.

The early model CDI seems to be made with unobtainium 😂 but with much searching one could be found in Alibaba (think that is what the site is called 🤔) but they are a hefty price, around £450 😲

Iam on a Chinese bike forum, and a couple of members have purchased (a few years ago I must add) the said CDI from that site, but it took many weeks, in one case a couple of months to arrive.

One of the problems with the Ducati Veglia CDI is that it is a poor design (stated by a guy on there who knows his stuff) and a new CDI would most probably (in his opinion) fail after a time, and he tried a couple of companies who specialise in repairing CDI units, and they were unable to effect repairs on the Ducati Veglia CDI.

So, £700 for the bike, and £450 for the CDI,and if you paid for other repairs and a MOT it effectively makes the bike not a viable proposition.

Just looked on AliExpress and there is a  CDI for £285.. 🤯 

But the one in photo looks nothing like the CDI that was fitted to my bike, could be a risky buy.

I've been out and about today for work .  Took forks to a place in Dorchester for anodising, then onto Poole to collect some storage fuel and then Frome on the way back to get parts .  Very foggy out there today , lots of twats driving at 35mph on main roads with no lights on :wank4az:

Nice and sunny now that I'm back in the workshop :classic_rolleyes:

Took my car for a MOT today and had to stay and sort some vehicles. One of the boys hadn't turned up as his misses was hospitalised. No news yet but hope she's ok tomorrow as I have my own work to sort.

I was in Bournemouth today, looking at a couple of roofs, but the weather was ok. Always lots of morons crawling along in Dorset. 
 

We have a live in carer arriving tomorrow for MiL as she appears to be deteriorating. The chances of her going back to the US seem to be receding :(. This has been a pretty shit month.

Are the roofs where you live not nice to look at or have you looked at them all... are the roofs in Bournemouth nicer to look at...
