The Simulation has a raging hard-on for you, Wayne. I guarantee it.
What have you done on your bike today?
- Thread starter The GOAT
- Start date
I finally got an interview (Via MS Teams) with a great company for a high(for my type of work) paying position. The fire alarm has gone off at their end after 10 mins of talk and now I am waiting for a return call. Hoping this is a good sign! Its always something with me, just dont know what to expect next.
All the best, hope it goes well and you can get going again.
The clutch felt as though it was slipping on rapid acceleration so we (my son) stripped it down. The plates and springs were all well within tolerance so we assumed it must have been a bit of wheel spin and reassembled it. I couldn't quite believe that this V-Strom 650 which has been across Europe several times including the Arctic circle and Morocco was in such good shape after 50K + gruelling miles

Is it in neutral….Today it is a lot warmer than yeterday so geared up went down to tha garage got the Enfield out ignition on push starter button and nothing!! Bike back in the garage went through all the fuses, all good, checked battery full charge and it's lithium!! Ignition on nothing, light indicators all works, try starter button nothing.Very rarely i am lost for words but today i am lost for words, i was out on it all day yesterday without issue, did a bit of shopping on it on the way home and put it the garage. So what has happened to it while it was in the garage over night, baffled is a word for this.
Back up Bullbarrow tonight with Daughter and Granddaughter The garlic and bluebells put on a good display.
Ah man! Those woods are in walking distance of the house where I was born in Winterborne Houghton. I know them so well!
Your garlic down south is well ahead of ours up here. It's emerged, maybe six inches tall, but no sign of buds or flowers as yet. I pick bagfulls of wild garlic every spring for myself and for the manager of the village pub, who has multiple alergies and can't eat cultivated garlic. But she can eat wild garlic and it does her the power of good so I gather sackfuls for both of us as soon as the flowers start to show. We both make wild garlic pesto and garlic butter and freeze it so we have it all year round. I know spring has sprung up here when I start gathering Debbie's garlic. Reckon I'm two weeks away.
I believe that bike uses the same motor as the SV/Gladius. I have had a few and you may want to check the clutch cable adjustment if you have not already.The clutch felt as though it was slipping on rapid acceleration so we (my son) stripped it down.

I read somewhere that it takes spring 8 weeks to travel from the South of the UK to the far north
It's all governed by light levels so it probably does. I rode from Inverness to Dorset in one day a few years ago it was very noticeable how much quicker the evening came on as I went further south.
I'd been in the highlands for two weeks in the middle of June and got used to nights that barely got fully dark at all and enough light at ten at night to be able to read outside. Not that I did because the midges eat you to death, but when I got back home I thought t was at least two hours later than it really was.
I keep forgetting you're a young'un and only a tiny fraction of Exige's age.
That's right, take no responsibility for your own birth. Typical.I can't help being born in 1481
Today i rode the Enfield to Tot Hill services for a Mcdonalds, it was dead in there it's usualy packed!! It was nice sat outside on the benches in the sun, i had a spicey chicken burger and it was bloody nice.
I then rode across the North Wessex Downs to Salisbury for an ice lolly, strange day realy as everywhere is realy quiet, not going to moan about that, it's fucking brilliant.
I then made my way home, 90 odd miles and the Enfield lapped it up, it needed a good run to blow out the cobwebs.
Before i went out i fitted my new sprung seat and what a pain!!
