$435.14 in back Rego so the Speed Triple didn't get deregistered, TODAY !! My how time flies .. haha. Still ... I had it worked out at around $520, so came out well ahead ..... I think ? (bustards)
Today I ordered some R&G bobbins to enable me to get the Blade onto our paddock stand for chain cleaning etc. Not THE most exciting purchase, but anything bike - related is still a win I reckon......
I have made a bargain. I bought an almost original "Adler 3-speed" from 1934 from a colleague for €250.-. In the following some pictures of it. I am really happy!!!
My Mum, now in her 90th year, often tells me of the bicycles she had as a girl in the '30s-'40's. Her first one was a Hercules with similar pushrod brakes which was replaced with a birthday present of a new Raleigh with "posh" seat, "better" gears and brakes, dynamo lighting and saddle bags. Living in a relatively small Staffordshire town she rode it everyday, everywhere. When I ask her about coping with traffic she'll say, "what traffic?"
One tiny, tiny positive about no longer having our beautiful dog after we lost him at the end of December is having far more freedom without being constrained by dog care and planning. We are hoping to do some camping and touring on the bikes now and just longer days and weekends out on them in general. We have tickets for WSBK at Donington booked with camping, so I have bought a tailpack that will fit on both of my bikes. Just need the weather to cooperate now! https://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/336535.
Well, despite being a "Shoei head" I must say that the recent helmet try-on sessions have been a revelation. My wife has always banged on about how Arai are so good...... Now however, I've only gone and agreed with her haven't I The current Arai to be fair is instantly more comfortable to my head shape/size than the current Shoei offerings, and so despite my previous two being Shoei, I now feel like I'm half size between medium and large (wasn't that a comedy act, oh no that was little and large wasn't it?).
I think it’s £870. It’s a five day course and the students need to be 16 years old. CS 30 is the old code for chainsaw maintenance and crosscut. CS 31 is the old code for felling trees up to 380mm. The new codes are 0039-20 and 0039-21 respectively. I don’t know where in North Yorkshire you are but the college I work for is in Skipton.
Just bought a 2001 Honda CBR600Fi Sport. Red&Black. Been kept in someone's collection. 1400 miles. Been recommissioned by Moto Corsa down in Dorset, full service including fork seals, my choice of tyres, £4250 including delivery (to Cheshire). I was happy with that.
