What have you done on your bike today?

Yesterday I got Elsie out of the garage and went to an RD Owner's Club meeting in Durham.

I was going to give it a miss after riding around Europe for 2 weeks, but with all the pants weather we've had, I had to go.

Met up with some mates and had a good little run out.

Today i got up and went for a blast on the 996, garage first for some fuel then on to Salisbury as i fancied a Wiltshire pastie, not been out that way for a while. I have no idea why but the traffic going into Salisbury in mental, on the way home the traffic in Romsey is crazy and North Baddesley! After a look on the net theres been a crash on the M27, how unusual!!:) It's crazy hot now so ice lolly and BSB on the tv.(y)

I love it but need to get it fixed, i've gone through everything to my knowledge to fix it. I have a bad feeling the ECU has died on it, the scanner i bought can't communicate with the ECU!! I need to book it in with Doubletake to sort it but a bit skint at the moment.🤷‍♂️ The crazy thing is all i did was clean the fuel pump and replace a fuel strainer and now it won't start!!

The space program is still active as Glen Irwin proved today. 😬
 
Went on a hunt for lakes in the area was joined by a member of the local rising group.

Why did KTM put the hazards switch on the right? Stupid. I turn on the hazards when I'm first at a light with no cars behind for visibilty. Light turns green I reach over with the left hand and hit the kill switch on the process. Bike decides to not recognize the fob and turn on. Wtf. After a bit the bike recognized the fob after a few tries at placing it over the sensor and off I went. 🤦‍

The rest of the day was uneventful. Perfect weather and temps for a ride. We manage to visit 3 of 5 lakes, one was closed and we cut the one near Massasas out.

IMO analogue is king, after much digging and research people are going back to the old school bikes, just as much fun at half the price if not more. There is a swing back to old school. 🤷‍♂️ (y)
 
Today i went for a blast on the 996, got my gear on, rolled the bike out ignition on push the starter button nothing!! 🤷‍♂️ This has happened before, right hand side fairing off and check the electrical plug at the back of the starter solenoid, yep some how between me putting it in the garage going to sleep and waking up it came off, how the fuck do you work that out!!:unsure: Fucking scorchio now so i'm home now eating a nice cold twister!!

Stabbings are on a crazy level, you hear about it every day and africans coming accross the channel and being put up in hotels. It's a fucking joke, if i could i would leave this country, i dredd to think what it's going to be like this time next year!! :rolleyes:
 
In oz if you do this type of crime, you get sentenced, do your time, then they revoke your visa and send you back where you came from.
It is called a 501 deportee. We have quite a few come back to NZ, but it does not seem to be reciprocal. Most of them will be gang members and guess what? They are bad Guinnesss when they get back home too.
 
If they are foreign nationals/asylum seekers/refugee's who commit an offence which leads to a prison sentence, then we have in law that once the sentence is completed/person released, then before that date you should be told that this will be carried out on X date. Lefty lawyers get involved and as a net result they flood the system with fake reviews/appeals.

Last figure I saw only a few weeks ago was 10,500 foreign nationals are in U.K prisons.
 
Took the day off cause the weather's perfect and taking a long round about loop to Alexandria then back home currently in Manassas getting ready to get back on the road. Virginee sure is purty aboot the horsey Guinnessree.

Stopped for a shitty meal, ate at Mission BBQ, a veteran/patriotic type of establishment and got the Salmon meal which I swear must have come out of a can. Even MRE tuna is better ffs:

Yesterday we went for a bimble to the Windmill Cafe, when we left we could see a tower on the hill in the distance and decided to head for it…

It was Victoria Tower on the hills above Huddersfield, came home via Holme Moss, Glossop and the Snake.
Today, I went to the Tillbridge Tastery near Lincoln for breakfast, had a go on this, he’s trading it in, they’ve offered him £9.5k against a new one, I’m very tempted, the cheapest I can find around here is £12k

Do you have a ‘menu’ of what’s on offer in BJ’s, along with prices, and do they have a happy hour (or happy minute!).
Asking for a friend, obvs……..
