Sir Fallsalot Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Thought id start one in the words of Pete (i just copied and pasted them ) It's not too bad here...... …..but I've got a busy couple of days fitting a fence. dont think i'll get out on any of the bikes this weekend. I don't suppose anybody's doing anything of interest though? I know it's unlikely to be riding your bike.......but any old shit you can add to keep the board moving is OK. Yes......we're that desperate! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boboneleg Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 I've been in the garage today , put a new spark plug in the WR. Oil change as well and made a seal scraper to clean out one of the fork seals. Dog walking tomorrow then beer and footy again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcel le Moose Fondler Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Weather is touch and go for the weekend...thunderstorms warnings going off...if it rains I'll probably change the oil in the indian...when I picked up the indian oil yesterday my buddy John asked me to get him some tranz oil for his Harley...50 fucken dollars for 1 l. ..I guess it's the only oil that stops the transmission form wineing... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Quietish weekend for me, working tonight up at Launceston Hospital. Nothing much on Saturday, maybe some more obsessive new bike messing/cleaning. Sunday working overnight but have to go to our Truro base to cover, I fucking hate it down there, nest of fucking vipers. At least I will get my first couple of commutes on the CBF600. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 We have our son and his partner visiting us tomorrow, most likely they will ask for money. We hope to go to sis in laws (Mrs. Bucket ) on Sunday, i hope my back will stand the 40 mile round trip, the seats in the Dacia are rubbish. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Mrs test drove a Sandero a couple of years ago and she did comment that the seats weren't very good. In fact the Duster wasn't much better. She decided to stick with her old BMW, which to be fair has been fauless for the last 3 years. Won't mention what happened before that . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 My Dacia is 2013 year. The seats have very little lateral support, and the seat base is the worst part. No support for my legs, all my weight is taken up on my ass, which does my back no favours, even when it is not playing me up... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Getting out on Sunday on ‘a’ bike but not ‘my’ bike……….a mate of mine has an elderly Kawasaki VN800 that he just isn’t riding so he asked me to take it out for the day! I’m going to head out with a couple of other mates on their custom bikes so it will not be fast but hey, it’s fecking roasting here now so I’m happy to put on a denim waistcoat and bimble about. I’ve ridden it a few times over the years and it’s quite nice to ride as far as custom style bikes are concerned. However, I look as gay-as-fuck on it. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catteeclan Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Wonder if I can talk Mandi into getting the bikes out this morn? Looks like this weathers here to stay for the next week. Need to spend some time sort stuff for the festival trip at some point. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Well that commute took the romance of riding my bike to work, pissed down all the way there last night and stupid gusts of wind all the way across the Moor on the way home. Enjoying the bike though smooth, comfy and very easy to ride. It maybe the placebo effect but it seems to be riding better each time, but it was laid up for 6 months before I bought it. I know one thing those cupped tyres have to go, some very annoying tram lining in the wet. I was sort of going to tough it out until October when it’s MoT and service are due but am rethinking that if the summer is going to be a washout. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
