Anything we use on deck has to be classed as intrinsically safe and explosion proof. This is why walkie talkies which normally cost about a 100 quid are about 900 quid. No phones on deck or other electronic devices.

Wife wanted to go to the garden centre in Caniles........so we went on a bit further to revisit the abandoned railway station and bridge in Baul.


Hell of a difference in the picture quality with this camera compared to the ones in my ride report a few months ago.

[mention]XTreme[/mention] as promised, took the 380 out for a spin, first time in over a year I think.

Started up easily and rode fine, loving the 2 stroke triple sound track.

It's now been in my ownership for over 24 years.

MOT on the Silverwing tomorrow.

The old shop I used to go for MOTs for the last 30 years has closed down so having to try out a new place in Lutterworth.

 

So it failed on front wheel bearing play which is actually the hub is worn and the bearing moves around in it so the wheel is shot.Trying to source another on fleabay.

No never had one.

They are fairly pricey and hard to warrant the spend on it for a purely cosmetic touch.

If I was to buy anything for it, it would be a new seat, current one is a bit rough around the edges.

Our son in law has a subscription for craft ales. In his latest box was this, Gingerbread Stout brewed in the US. He hates anything with ginger in it so he passed it on to me.


I'm not usually a stout guy but this stuff is gorgeous. 9.2% though so it's not a brew to quaff before going out on the bike.

A guy who lives down the road from me has said he would buy the 380 off me anytime I'm ready to sell it which is nice to know.

Unlikely I ever will unless we need the money but the R1 would go first if that was the case.

Saw someone at Jack's hill cafe a couple of years ago with a mint GT750 which he had bought as an import and restored in around 6 months.There are often a group of friends turn up at the Super Sausage with kettles (the Suzuki kind) and quite a sight to see them all lined up.

Annoyingly, while filling in a previously empty spot, the via came out so I had to do a little super professional rework:

Get the fire extinguisher ready (I don't have one..) and test..

Success! But wait, what's this!?

They're out of an early LCD monitor that I quite like. Do you ever feel like your whole life is spent fixing old shit that probably shouldn't even get fixed? It worked for about 30 mins and then went to black again, I'll go back round the new caps with the iron again just in case there's a bad joint but they all look fine to me.


Wait what forum is this again?
