What have you done on your bike today?

I can't see the video without signing in to You tube, but I'm delighted for you that's great news.

Now you'll need to exercise even more patience waiting for a break in the weather.
Can't understand why it's not playing for some people, odd one that, i've never had that happen to me as i have always posted my vids on here from Youtube in the past, i'll look into it!!
 
She lives, got the Enfield fired up today, when I first started it She was on full throttle, where the throttle was push me pull me I had put the cable on the wrong throttle point so no play in the throttle so changed that then it ran all over the place. So had a play with the carb screw and it now runs really nice, it's a lot more throaty with a crisper feel to it, can't wait to get out on it, it's pissing down and getting dark out, tomorrow is looking better. (y)


Glad it's running pal I hope the next outing goes better than Jats last one.

I asked because it sounds like piston slap on idle and dethrottling. It may also be because I'm slightly mutton and all is well

Yay! I’m very happy for you - that’s brilliant. Great start to the year - well done for sticking with it. Keep that battered tank as a reminder that you just need to persevere ti get what you want 👍
 
Today after waking up at half twelve for some reason and that's unlike me i went to the garage to put the rest of the bits back on the Enfield!! I then fired it up for a bit of fine tuning and it ticks over really nice now so well happy. :) I then went out for it's first carb upgrade ride and fucking hell what a difference, i knew it had more to give, the injection really restricted it!!:rolleyes: It even sounds different and you can hear the air filter taking in breaths of air, i only went for a twenty odd mile ride i think, my speedo doesn't work, it hasn't since i bought it, i put a new speedo cable on it and it still doesn't work, the cable drive on the front wheel is fucked i think and Hitchcocks do a replacement part so that's the next thing to get for it.:oops:
I can't believe how cold it's got over night and is staying cold till Friday, at least it's dry.🤷‍♂️

Well done mate for sticking with it and getting it sorted. (y)
 
Only in Salisbury (wasn’t me)

The Salisbury Neighbourhood team have been patrolling St Peter's Place and surrounding areas this evening, after receiving calls from the Public reporting a motorbike being ridden dangerously, with no lights or number plate visible. Officers quickly located the bike in question on The Avenue, Wilton. The vehicle has subsequently been seized for having no valid insurance.

That's a looker that is 🤣🤣🤣
 
Today i went out on the Enfield with the intention of going to Loomies, fuck that, it's fucking freezing and Allington lane is flooded!! :rolleyes: I had to ride through a good foot of water and i went past The White Swan pub that sits right next to the River Itchen and it has had it's annual flooding. It's a listed building so it just has to be repaired every year, i bet there insurance company loves it!!:) Roll on summer.🤷‍♂️

I put my prescription in ages ago for my antidepressants but Christmas got in the way and it's the antidepressants they want to talk to me about!!
I know i need them asap, i had a bit of a breakdown when i was last off them. I'm fine for about 5 days without them so i'm just going to phone them everyday until i get them!!
Don’t phone but go in person , don’t leave without👍
