XTreme Posted March 22, 2024 Share Posted March 22, 2024 Seems decent enough here.....but lack of bright blue skies may diminish the general ambience of my photos! But I'll have to live with it I suppose! Got a lot of work on but I will be out Sunday for sure! What about you? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted March 22, 2024 Share Posted March 22, 2024 Weather looks a bit crap, so I think it will be WSBK & MotoGP Saturday & Sunday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boboneleg Posted March 22, 2024 Share Posted March 22, 2024 Just packed for a weekend of trail riding in Wales . I still need to sort out the fork seals on the WR250 , so it could be interesting riding the Donkey on some of the dodgy lanes. No you aren't invited Fred as it's Tony's gig but I can tell you that we're staying in Glasbury on saturday night 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busabeast Posted March 22, 2024 Share Posted March 22, 2024 Just now, Six30 said: No I took the car in today and they said they don't provide courtesy cars, so I drove it back home. I'm wondering about giving it back to them as it really isn't as stated. Stop start doesn't work Drive away parking brake doesn't work Front parking sensors don't work Sat nav GPS thinks the car is in the sea just south of Western Africa Adblue fault Recall outstanding for an auxiliary heater element A strong smell of exhaust in the cabin if the blowers are on and the car is stationary or moving very slowly So @Six30 does it sound like I've bought a lemon? If so then tomorrow I'll be taking it back and giving it back as I can't afford to have a car that's unreliable especially when it's costing 10k 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted March 22, 2024 Share Posted March 22, 2024 Bought a 38 year old car today. It’s very warm outside, like 29° from a very dusty wind coming from Africa. Won’t ride in this during the weekend. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan to make it drive and handle better than 30 years ago. Now coming up with a scarily increasing list of stuff to do. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a real thing for all things older BMW. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
