What have you done on your bike today?

[BobTheBounder]

I rememember as a kid being taken to Hornsea by the grandparents and to Hornsea market. Nan had an obsession with the Hornsea pottery squirrels and deers

Madame Bounder worked in Hornsea Potteries from leaving college, she started in the office but transferred to the factory when they started cutting back, she was there for twelve years, took redundancy and retrained as a teacher.
I met her when she worked there, I was installing and commissioning a new clay press moulding machine in her department, I chatted her up and asked her out, nearly 39 years ago now and still together.

Oh yeah i put a nice brand new set of front brake pads in before a went out and the set up on the caliper is well easy. It took me about 10-15 minutes, it was a job i wasn't looking forward to but super easy to do. My MOT runs out on Saturday at midnight so will be ringing a shop i've not used before but i've read some reviews and they sound like a good place.

Caliper off then two pins you screw out, two small allen head pins, pull them out new pads in then screw the pins back in and slide caliper on and torque the bolts up job done!!

Wayne’s day out

 

[WAYNE]

Today i had fuck all to eat for breakfast so rode the Enfield to Loomies for a sausage and egg bap, i must remember to ask them where they get there sausages from as they are the dogs!! There was another Enfield Bullit 500 in there, he fucked off before i could take a pic, it was an oldish one with no electric start so a made in India one, it had gear shift on the right and brake on the left. I then decided to go to Lymington for an ice cream then through the New Forest and on to Bournemouth, now the weather has me baffled, clear sky sun out and it's fucking freezing, it defies logic!! It was nice looking down on the beach and warm when your standing in the sun, i got myself another ice cream then back home via Tesco for grub.
Right get this, i booked an MOT and while i was out i pushed the horn button and nothing, what are the fucking odds!!

 

[Hugo Magnus]

High!

 

[Dox]

Odds on

Yesterday, I just happened to be passing by Donington Park, so dropped in to have a look at the Ducati UK track day, hoping to see some more mature Italian beauties being ridden hard and shown who's boss, not as many as in the past, but still one or two, some 996's, 749/999, 1098's, one air cooled 797 Monster, but a lot of V4's, mainly Panagale's, and more Troy Bayliss V2's than you could shake a stick at. Several 698 Hypermotard Mono's, their owners identifiable by a wide grin, certainly looks like a fun bike!. The weather was ideal but seemed to be quite a few red flags which was unfortunate.
Didn't take many photos but a couple attached.

However, it transpired that there is a Classic Car event over the Bank Holiday weekend, with several cars being unloaded whilst I was there, so went and had a look. Quite glad I did!

1924 Bentley 3 litre blower.

A couple of Aston Martin team cars from the 1928 Le Mans 24 hours.

Bentley Blower continuance, the mechanics looking after them said it was one of 12 (?) recently remanufactured cars made by Bentley, apparently an original car, whilst stripped for restoration, was laser scanned and along with the original blueprints, several exact replicas were made. Cost was £1.5m to £2 m each and can't be registered for the road, but just gorgeous and sound awesome.

And another Bentley Continuance, I think this is a Speed Six.

Several more cars as well, including this E-Type, but meh.....

Bought a Euromillion's ticket on the way home....and asked Mrs Bimble if she'd be OK going to Tesco's in a Bentley Blower on Monday, she's not too keen as she thinks it looks a bit uncomfortable and will probably mess her hair up.....

Just took Mini Ex out on the R1 for her first ride on a bike, while Mrs Ex waited nervously on the drive for our return she was so relieved when she heard the bike returning

Today i spent the best part of 2 hours cleaning the 996 from all the crap on it from last summer!! I need to do the wheels tomorrow and i few other bits, looks like a new bike now. I rode up to Tesco earlier and it's nice and quiet so in and out, the thing that i can't stand is the kids running around and getting in your way while the parents just carry on with what they are doing!! Know wonder kids grow up to be thugs!!

I’ve never understood why the whole family has to go shopping.
It takes me about 10 minutes to do a full shop once you know the layout of the supermarket!
