Saul Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 I have the feeling I have been stitched up by my daughter again. She has been planning all week for me to help her clean her bike fit some of the tat she bought, plus check tyre pressures, oil and stuff. So she can do it without me interfering in the future. Ok I thought. Fucking 7:00 am this morning she wakes me up to tell me she is ill, and to be fair she does have a cold or possibly flu. I say take some paracetamol and go back to bed, then she turns on the water works cause she wants the bike done and can’t do it. FFS Anyway I have spent the morning fitting the rack and box I bought her plus some of the Temu tat she has bought. Plus fitted a louder horn like I did on my bike, because my Mrs implied that I didn’t love her as much as myself if I did not. Still trying to work that out. Gotta love the way they all manage to manipulate the soft twat. To be fair I don’t mind, but I would have done it all without the scheming. Also surprised to see that the bike was made in Italy, I thought it was made in India 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dealership had some issues with some of the 125cc coming from Italy. Usually missing stickers, but this one time a bike wouldn’t start before the client came to pick it up. Engine was spinning like mad though. Bike simply came fully assembled but no piston and connecting rod 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah there's fuck all drainage, it's a reenactment of passchendaele every time it rains. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Othing wrong with moss, it’s better than grass, doesn’t shelter ticks and doesn’t need cutting down. It’s nature! Put a couple of logs on the ground to feed bugs and a few bird houses on stakes, and it’s a natural garden on purpose. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
