My son came round today to take me to Mat to sort my inner tube, he was very busy and as the true gent he is he sorted it. I also found out i'm going to be a grandfarther, fucking made up with that!!
Congratulations Wayne!

Dear oh dear oh me, standards are slipping at the factory.
Multi 1200S DVT Desmo service time. It’s the first one it’s ever had done. Will you look at the rusty state of the closing shims inside
.
How the f&&k did they get in there ?

Par for the course and i can't wait dude!!Nice one @WAYNE get stuck into them shitty nappies
Actually they’re not, it’s just surface rust, came off with a bit of elbow grease and some 400grit paper.
They were coming out anyway to be replaced with 0.05mm larger ones, but I’m shocked. I can’t believe the factory put those in which implies someone’s been inside there before
. There’s a bit of scoring on one of the cam cap journals as well.
Bit late now I guess but Paul - with all that mechanicking you do, you really ought to be wearing gloves in order to protect your skin.Actually they’re not, it’s just surface rust, came off with a bit of elbow grease and some 400grit paper.

Is it not possible that the bike has been parked up for a long time in a hostile environment (Ireland) and the rust has formed on the inside?Dear oh dear oh me, standards are slipping at the factory.

Congratulations, that's brilliant news!!My son came round today to take me to Mat to sort my inner tube, he was very busy and as the true gent he is he sorted it
You could if you had a mind too, Stick a tube up ya doodaa, and put a colostomy bag in that front zip pannier by your knee. Save marking most of Yorkshire with ya piss
I’ll put my pedants hat on and point out that most of my out and about urination is actually in Derbyshire and other surrounding counties, if I’m on my way home I save it ‘cos I pay Yorkshire Water to take it away, so they’re having it.
I find the need for frequent urination has lessened since I switched to de-caff tea and stopped drinking carbonated drinks.
My tube needs no doodah, thanks for the offer.
I think he meant drainage bag, rather than colostomy but I’d taken the hat off by then.
Went out with a few mates today. took the Tesi to East Yorkshire Airport Cafe at Church Fenton which was nice!
Ex 1980's TT Racer Steve Boyes was with us and he thought the Tesi was the best looking bike he'd ever seen, that man has impeccable taste!!!
Had a look in the DMB Collection which was nice, I think @Dox might like this place, don't know why, just a hunch
The owner has a collection of high end Ducati's as well as the cars but had to have a walk over to drool over the Tesi, he thought it put all his to shame, he also has impeccable taste in cars
as you will see from the pictures...
We then went on to Sherburn which, for a Thursday, was heaving - seems no one works anymore

The cake lorry turned up at 4.30 this morning and set the alarm off. I got up and started work 20 minutes early.
This afternoon my G.daughter asked if I was going out on the bike and could she come. It has been a great, sunny spring day here so off we went to Cheddar (her request. We rode down the Gorge and parked in the same spot as we did on Saturday. I looked around at the waterfall and the backdrop of the gorge and G'daughter said" I wish I'd bought my phone to take a photo" I said" borrow mine" She did and turned around and snapped this Kids!

Yes, I remember him well, walking about pit lane in his shellsuit. Obviously a man of no taste, since way back then
I think he’s got cataracts as well now I read.Steve Boyes ?
