Not entirely sure but I think a cavity search is definitely deserved. Don't stop till ya hit the back teeth...
What have you done on your bike today?
- Thread starter The GOAT
- Start date
Well I applaud your commitment but there are some things a bloke just will not do…
Not in yorkshire there ain't
I ride bikes unlike many on here, I don't read about them
moje vznášedlo je plné úhořů
You should seek medical advice
I did once date a Doctor from Prague Hospital, she was lovely. but dumped me so a bit insane too
Did ya festering piles have anything to do with her dumping you? Or totally unrelated?I did once date a Doctor from Prague Hospital, she was lovely. but dumped me so a bit insane too
That's when I met her so possibly
They couldn't decide which is the front and back cover so never got released
Today i rode the Enfield down to Sammy Millers for the Rickman day, great weather and it was packed down there. He had his little arena set up so some bike action to come. 
Some lovely bikes there today, Alan Millard was there on his 698cc Velocette V-twin that he made and it sounds fucking awesome. I got chatting to an old fella about the museum as he is good friends with Sammy, he told me about the crap Sammy had to go through to buy what was an old farm. He said to me about how the world has changed, i said all for the worst and he laughed and said your the third person that's said that to me today!!
Anyway the bikes got wheeled onto the mini circuit then they went round one by one doing three laps then park up, there was about ten in all. Then they all did a parade lap, what a noise and the smell of two stroke and four stroke, i thought i had recorded it but got home and nothing so i obviously did something wrong. I've never had an issue before but hey shit happens, what a great day out and it cost me £2 for a can of 7up and i even got a chance to thank Sammy for a great show.
On my way home the Enfield had developed a new noise coming from the right side a metal on metal noise, i went to a garage for a splash of fuel and found out the strut that holds the exhaust to the bike had snapped for the second time, no big deal sorted it when i got home. I then had a look at the carb at home and noticed the rubber minifold that holds the carb to the head had split, no wonder it's been playing up, i'm going to phone Hitchcocks in the morning for a free replacement, i bought that carb kit at great expence, bought it on the 28/12/2024. I'ts lasted a little over 4 months!!
Anyway the next one at Sammys is Jap day on Sunday the 1st of June, i hope the weather is still good for that.
I had two of these in my twentys, a silver one and a red one.

Went out for a morning ride with Lady K, our 2nd, on some country roads. Lovely. I'd love to get her back on her own bike but not likely, so this is the best and I'm just glad to have her come along. She said she enjoyed it very much and is looking forward to more outings.

Compton Abbas again this morning plenty of bikes up there today. So stood and put the world to rights with a couple of them, one from Basingstoke the other from Bournemouth
Had a ride out to the lakes on Helga. I put new brake pads in front & rear, plus a new rear disc. Also a new front tyre so wanted to have a ride before my Austrian tour this year. Went with my mate on his GS, Brunhildr.
It was scorchio at 25 degrees, although cloudy in a couple of these pics. the skies were clear most of the day.

Scrotes looking and then deciding it wasn’t worth nicking eh?I took the Tesi for a ride out, up to Helmsley and then Thirsk where some admirers were bowing to its aesthetic beauty
Teasdales have now moved into their new showroom I noticed.

Which of those charity shops did you donate it to in the end? And did they accept it?I took the Tesi for a ride out, up to Helmsley and then Thirsk where some admirers were bowing to its aesthetic beauty

Just run of the mill Ducati riders in awe of it's sheer beautyScrotes looking and then deciding it wasn’t worth nicking eh?
The fella in Hunters said it must be worth more than the houses they have for sale
OMG, Noobie is going to be soooo jealous
I’ve done lots of miles this last couple of weeks, but hardly taken any pictures. Here are a few that I have taken:-
Tillbridge Tastery
Wetton Mill
Fire on the Cat and Fiddle from Flash Country Stores
Dox’s picture that I tried to make better by cropping it.
You need to take a few steps back and use the 2x zoom on your phone, it brings the background twice as close, but only increases the size of the bike relatively.
Hetties tea rooms, with my mate on his new NC750.
My mate turned up at Matlock on this this morning
If you remember we bought it when SMC were shutting down, some masonry fell on it while it was being photo’d for the advert to sell it. He’s waited for the good weather to sell it and wants £12k for it, it’s done 4.4k miles and the only thing he cant get for it is this switch
Does anyone know how to turn the heated grips off?
The number plate and indicators need a good coat of looking at, they’re hideous. Surely indicators level with the rear axle can’t be a good thing

Admirers? The bloke bending down is saying to his mate "tha knows, went Ikea said they were building bikes i thought they were lying. Tha bloke who built this couldn't have had the instructions ecky thump by gum"
Sorry @Noobie , he’s right , Ecky thump is LancastrianSee above: southern mongies don't talk like that
I see you had a ride out today, no wonder you are fixated with kitchens...

Well, not a bad collection of pics of forum member's tootlings his weekend I suppose, but far too many peculiar and oddly shaped velocipedes. There is a desparate shortage of Diavel 1260 S magnificence which is getting us all down. You will all be relieved to know this depressing situation will be rectified shortly.
It's my understanding that Ducati UK took it off him because the spectacle of an angry balding goblin in colomstomy pants and carpet slippers riding the world's most aesthetically pleasing motorcycle in public was damaging the brand.
Last I heard he'd bought a Bimota Tesi at a car boot sale.
