So what have you done today..?

Porlock to Lynemouth is one of my favorite roads , another great road is the coast road from Weymouth to West Bay .

 

I've cycled up Hardknot a few times takes a lot of pedaling so it does.

 

I watched 4 guys go up there today, and it was bloody hot. My friend keeps trying to persuade me to have a go, but I can honestly say it will never happen. Once had to put my isuzu into awd to get up that steep right hander!!!

 

I've cleaned it a few times but it is 1 of the hardest climbs I've done, usually after already riding 95 miles or so. It's a real brute of a climb it shallows out a little at about half way.

Yes I drove my 4wd Nissan up it but from wryness side in 2 wheel drive and the back end was jumping lol.

 

Had a go at spraying a seat cowl for my old SS . Wasn't that fussed how it was going to come out as the bike is nearly 30 years old . All the rubbing down and primer looked and felt spot on . Sprayed the red on today and the finish is a bit shit, paint seems like it's got miniscule grit in it? Bit pissed off now as it was going so well . Sprayed some on a piece of card and it was the same? Might try a light rub down tomorrow and try another couple of coats of red and then just leave it if it's OK or not .

 

Cheers. That looks better....as long as it can inflate a tyre thats good enough!

 

Bit of delivering, took a deposit on the van then tonight went for my first ride at night for probably a bit over 4 years just before my brain bleed so I have to say I’m pleased about that it’s another step in right direction

A bit of positivity in this horrible time we are all in. Guinness in the garden now.

 

Fitted new exhaust and ecu my poor neighbours. Donno what was worse swapping over the ecu or the rusted studs

 

Great location..... have you got your camera set to "1970's back garden - 110 Film mode"?
Not quite blurred enough for Old British porn mode (Vaseline on lens).

 

Just hanging around, outside, socially distancing, waiting for them to fit a new rear tyre to the Monster.



Ps. I’ve been here over an hour, I suspect they might be having the same problem I had in attempting to undo the rear wheel but hey they did it up when they fitted the new tyres when I bought the bike last year.

 

It’s in good hands French spanner spinner in there is spot on

 

Picked up the lazy spa and set it up .

 

Forgot to mention my socially distanced lunch at hardknott Roman fort with only ghosts for company. Cracking view if anyone gets up there

 

Been playing with suspension on the 996 today. Really cheesed my daughter off as she is trying to work and I keep getting her to measure rider sag measurements

Anyhoos, getting there now. Starting point was front rider sag 27 and rear 48.
Currently at front 33 and rear 32.
Next thing to play with the twiddly bits. Then test ride.

Then tell daughter another 3 bikes to do!

 

Surely bribery is the name of the game here for both parties.

 

Someone has a nice new expensive truck.

 

You struck Gold yet.

 

Finders keepers losers weepers.

 

Not many vehicles will be 20 reg this year,

 

It was brought before the lockdown was in play,and like many others he regrets it.
