A looker and a sounder tooPushrods need a bit of adjusting, easy job when i get round to it and it being air cooled that is a normal sound.My 1801cc air cooled Indian was the same although the Indian pushrod tapping can be dialed out, i had a program for it that i was going to get the garage to set up but i sold it.
Fucking useless Guinnesss!! Anyway when i got home i decided to take the centre stand off the Enfield as i have no use for it and it's weight saving So there is a rod that goes through the stand and the centre stand bracket with a split pin either end, both split pins are in there solid and i can't get them off, so i cut one off with the intention of knocking the rod through. No fucking chance, it will not budge even on the other side, it's in there solid!! I've done everything to get it out even with youtube vids and wd40 it should just knock out, after an hour of swearing and hammer blows it is in there solid!!
Right out with the grinder and some cutting discs because i'm just going to cut the fucker off, it's not structual to the frame so no problem, i got it off and even then the rod will not budge, it's in there solid.
What a carry on it's only took me 3 hours to get a centre stand off, now that's done i feel maybe an Enfield bobber could be on the cards
i've seen some really nice Enfield customs out there so mmmmmmmmmmm!!
It is in good nick so well looked after.
That was my local , as I lived there for 20 years . It been an Italian for around 5-6 years. Years ago it use to had the barrels behind the bar and pourEd straight out . The rear garden always had the pétanque pitch.Yesterday I did a nice 70 odd mile circuit from home through Bedfordshire and then around North Hertfordshire before stopping at a lovely country pub recently taken over by an Italian family and now serving good pizzas and pasta .

They have a very large garden and in there they have set up a petanque pitch, or is it course ? I`m not sure. There must have been an organised competition as there were about 20 people playing yesterday. Luckily no violence despite all competitors being white , middle aged or older so obviously of the Far Right. I even saw some people smoking outside, disgraceful scenes !
Here is a strange rule from the game that I`m sure many of us will strongly approve of :-
fanny (mettre fanny). To lose a game without scoring any points; a shutout game. When a player loses 13 to 0, he is said to fanny ("il est fanny", he's fanny, or "il a fait fanny", he made fanny) and must kiss the bottom of a girl named Fanny.
So there you have it, The Musgrave Arms in Shillington, the place to come for pizza and fanny.
I lived close by in Barton le clay from about 1988 to 2015 and would go there maybe once a month. It seems busy regularly now which is good. I didn't realise the Italian family had been there that long, the first time i saw them there was about 3 years ago when we stopped there on the way home from taking our granddaughter to Stevenage to see Peppa Pig. Rock n roll lifestyle hey.
Today i went for a lovely ride out on the Enfield, we have weather warnings today of thunder storms, it's now 7.45 and we haven't had a drop, in fact it's been a nice day!!
I was at Loomies fuel station and this beautiful Rolls Royce pulled up, i got chatting to the guy and it's a Phantom, i can't remember what year and it's got over 100k miles on it so it's had plenty of use, very nice.

Wanker!!Bobber you say
How does that look
Sissy has a barToday i fitted my new crash helmet lock to the Enfield, it only cost £15 from Hitchcocks, they do just about everything for Enfields if anyone is interested for future reference. It's a handlebar fitted one, the one i wanted that bolts on to the sissy bar fixings is £40, fuck that, silly money for what it is, shit weather today, it's been pissing down most of it!!
the mind boggles 
Have you been pulled on your illegal registration plate yet?Scorchio today so had a ride out on the KR to show Parno (my painter) the end result.
Got a little bubble from paint fumes as the wellseal on the filler cap threads can’t have sealed fully. Going to get new blocks machined for inside the tank with blind holes and he’ll sort the paint

So i found the wire and i located the electric plug, right get this, the wire was cut an inch from the plug so instead of just unplugging it they cut the fucking wire, honestly!! So i reconnected the wire to the plug and sealed it all up with some electrical tape turned the ignition key and no priming of the fuel pump, side stand is down, flick it up and fuel pump primes, job done!!
I then put some more preload on the rear shocks as i went for a short ride yesterday and i thought i had a puncture but it's the shocks, right i have some c spaners somewhere so i emptied the bottom of my tool box and found 5 c spanners and about 6 tools i had no idea i had. I put the shocks to maximum pre load and another job done!! It's meant to be dry from Monday onwards so will have to wait to go out for a decent ride, bloody weather.
Today i went down to the garage to do a few things on the Enfield, it's was pissing down but it's now sopped!! Anyway i want to refit the wiring for the side stand that stops you from pulling away with it down as i have done it twice so far and somebody has cut the cable for it.
Only if you remember to slide it on before making the connection
