what did you do with your fazer today ?

[VNA]

Got pull by the cops and fined.

First time I've pick up points.  License for 29 years and finally they catch me.

Done just outside of Inveraray Argyll.  Unmarked Burgundy Audi A6 estate.

Average of 80mph over 3/4 mile.  Not interested in giving me a talking to or anything, straight on to writing a ticket.

Got out of the cop car, saw 4 bikes coming down at speed, signalled slow down clearly to them (in front of the cops) and guess what.  Cops set off.  I jump on my bike, yup a few miles down the road they nicked one of them.

Now I felt stupid, but perhaps not quiet as stupid as the next fella they pulled.

But yeah they were busy.  Hitting bloody KPI's I guess, bringing in the cash.

3 points (phew) and a 100 quid (ouch)

Jesus I just foccing lost 50 quid on the referendum!

Looks like you had a good day nick......that wet dream...is it diesel  powered ?

[nick crisp]

God knows what it was Paul. Certainly sounded like an old tractor. Had a nice puddle of oil under it not two minutes after arriving though  :lol

[red98]

:lol....thats what made me think its a diesel... :lol

An exercise in how to make a shit bike even more shit  :rollin

[Grahamm]

(OK this was yesterday) but...

Lead a Group Ride up to Box Hill and back, lovely weather, cracking roads

[Dead Eye]

Minding my own business on the way to work this morning when suddenly *thwack* - some bug smacks me right in the neck

After about a 1/2 mile I notice something I little cold against my skin around my stomach... I didn't think much of it until I parked up at work (about another mile) and suddenly I'm getting stung. Fucking bastard wasp had gotten underneath my jacket and t-shirt and decided to have a party... little shit got squashed under my boot after that! Now I'm sore and red, it even managed to draw some blood!

[midden]

I had similar happen the other month. Have you managed to pull the sting out? I did and it eased the pain massively.

[Dead Eye]

I can't see it :\ Too much of a forest of hair...


Edit: Isn't it only bee's that leave the sting behind? A wasp can sting you several times and fly off as far as I was aware

[fazersharp]

I had a bee do this to me and ever since then have worn a buff

[stevierst]

Yep, thats right. Bees leave their sting in, wasps just keep stabbing you.

Wasps are just nature's way to show that God has a sense of humour. Who else would give a flying insect an obnoxious stripey suit, an attitude problem, and a poisonous harpoon it can use again and again! They're Assholes!

[esetest]

Test rode the bike after  putting  the front wheel back on .

[Doddsie]

Honey bees leave their sting in you, but Bumble bees and quite a few others dont have barbed stingers and can sting repeatedly.

Sticker time - Wanted something on the bike to share  FOC-U



fitted




next one may be a touch smaller

[helloindustries]

Today; I tidied and trimmed the head of the wiring loom  where it pokes out to connect instruments and lights in preparation for a much more compact arrangement of the single small headlight, repositioned indicators and instrument cluster after spending a few months in a tangled 'it'll do' state.

Tomorrow: I hope to give the whole thing a once-over to make sure it's all neat and working properly, that the headlight housing gets a coat of pain and several of lacquer to make it look its best, maybe even make as much of a start as i can on the instrument mount, though i'm not very good and cutting steel and i can't weld.

Close to being fully done... so close...

[red98]
