(small) Bike Things You've Done Today

I want that poster. Didn’t get it for Christmas last year despite heavy hints. Must try harder or buy it myself.

 

I have the same slogan on a t-shirt

 

But clearly no iron!

 

Yesterday. Sat on a load of bikes. Talked bikes. Watched people on bikes.

 

The t-shirt was a present, Picture was taken just after it was opened, that is how it came

 

Went to Barcelona, drank far too much. Watched some motorbikes and came home last night.

Woke up this morning and realised I’m not 21 anymore.

This has all come as a great disappointment.

 

You could have waved Currently still here, enjoying a bit of tapas in the Ciutat before heading back to the airport. I'm not 21 either but it's fun pretending for a short while Andy

 

Very long time since I've had to do this ‍

 

Today was a long day at work! We were over by the Ramblas.

 

Packed up after 5 days track time at Almería.

 

Couple of my mates were on that. Both on r7s

 

New R7 or old R7?

 

Did they enjoy it?

 

I think so. Not spoken to them but one put a couple of posts on Facebook

 

New ones. One of them builds the bikes that run in bsb sportbike class. Revs 2 race

 

There’s a big second hand bike dealer chain, called Red Baron, with lots of dealerships in the cities. They also offer an exporting service. With the shaken (MOT equivalent required on bikes over 250cc) becoming increasingly difficult and expensive as the bike ages, there’s a point that it makes sense to get rid, so a lot get exported. Loads of stuff you never saw in the UK, well worth a look if passing.

Also some great breakers, lots of engine bits and fairings, just a bit difficult to find without a translator.

 

About the only thing that he wants to do with a motorcycle is to hire a SuperCub and ride that for the brief time he’ll be there for the start of Summer.

He’s hoping to learn a lot of Japanese beyond just the basics.

 

Spent couple hours in the garage doing stuff, but of tidying then removed tank, imported it and got ready to store in the house over winter as internet suggests it may hep shrink back. Now taste of petrol all afternoon ahead

battery seems buggered even tho it’s on and off charger. Will light clocks, then nothing else, even though showing 12.26v. So that’s off and I’ll just have to buy another, which is very annoying as I only bought it two years ago and it’s on and off charge enough to maintain.
