Hey up WB, dont know what ya doin in your new pic, will have to look in a bit. TY to JJ for the obss on the techy stuff, thats got more work to do when I get a chance.
Nice one HFG, can see your writes ups are expanding with ever days experience, 70 mile, soon youll be pootling all over the place, and Geoff, well he'll be peetaling, if he goes with ya, .
Awww - Rachel & there's you telling me that you could leave em on & they wouldn't flatten your battery!!! - they must have heard you & though 'right!!! we'll see about this!!' Good job Geoff was there to bump it!!...could you imagine you & me trying to bump it down Dunford Road!!! that would have been well funny!!!
Oi Geoff- give us a break!! first time over that road & for the first half of it we were stuck behind a van doing 45 & then for the 2nd half of it there was lots of Wibbly bits...just need to get me confidence up on how fast I can go & then brake without it all going squirrelly!
Err Steve - think I just may pass on that offer ta - at least for the next few years!!...PMSL
Stu - get it right - it was 90 miles not 70!!! sheesh!!
ooOOoooo Em - an interview!!....tbh - I can't speak a good story as well as I can (apparently) write one...words come out better when I'm typing than speaking - as some on here will vouch for when I open me gob!!
Lou - love the new piccy - is that what you were giggling about the other day??
Oooo also - an update - just been out for a 30 mile pootle - but nothing much interesting to tell - 'cept I still can't do junctions as serenely as your supposed to!!...practised some feet up U turns with differing amounts of success! & the weather was cr*p on the tops - misty drizzle & naffin' windy!!...but, more miles under the belt!
Well done HFG!!
I remember my wibbles all those years ago - mind you been a while since I was on a bike so I may have a few more yet
Only reason I managed my U-turns feet up on my test was coz the road was as wide as the Grand Canyon & I could ride in a straight line between kerbs!!
Keep it going
I fink your carb wants cleaning out HFG if ya having trouble with erratic idle. Bring it down and I will service it for you (cough) and the bike..............Sneeks off to naughty corner.....
hahahah - nice one Jim - err - how do I get the carb off??...whilst you're in the Norty corner, there's a new Clutch lever & cable & new Indicator that needs fitting - oh also the chain needs tightening up....errr.........yeah, thinks that's it
Cheers Tizzy
jees - you lot!!! **tuts**!!
Hey HG - no thoughts on the name for my ramblings yet - maybe "A day in the life of a motorcycle 'L' Plater ", "How NOT to learn to ride a bike" "Are we there yet??" "Bike Whispering - how NOT to do it!" "How to bond with your bike" (I'll wait for comments on that one!!) " Long way round - the short way!" " Long way Down - especially my close!" "HFG & the art of motorcycle maintenance!".....errrr........nope ,not thought about it at all really
Yeh, me too., ghostie.
Would have been a pleasure to strip her (carb) down on the workbench, clean out her jets, and grease her nipples.
(Am I allowed to say that before 9pm?)
*waits for summat stronger than 'tuts'*
Not fixed by the weekend?? Jeez, someone's keen lol!
Stella, Ghostie can probably service you, sorry the bike, better than I can. But if Hinckley is a bit far then you know you're welcome to bring it over to mine.
Nice ride as well! Erm, I meant the route from Holmfirth to Ponte!!
