What have you done to your bike today....

[MartytheMartian]

Got out for a wee rattle about on the Bullet this afternoon. This bike is a hoot! I can only say it's like riding a Spacehopper but with a roaring, loud as all hell engine.

Not my bike, but did a BB shift yesterday.

Weather would not have been surprising in in April - blue skies, occasional bluster and occasional heavy rain.

But the Biking Gods smiled upon me and kept me dry and in the sun

Newark today, and a pleasant jaunt on Friday has provided a very bike-focussed weekend - settle down with the snooker now

A wee rattle? I remember them

Clutch on the CG125. Made a four finger peg spanner from an old imperial socket and removed the centrifugal oil trap. Then I got full access to the clutch drum. Pulled it all out and the steel plates were rusted solid onto the friction plates. Gave it all a good washdown in paraffin, cleaned the steels with emery cloth and a soak in clean engine oil. Reassembly went well and fast, clutch action now restored.

Made a four finger

Sounds like a teenage boast from yesteryear

That reminded me of the old joke:
What is the difference between Joan Collins and a KitKat?..............you can only get upto four fingers in a KitKat

Only opportunity to squeeze in a ride was today, so I took it.

Dry but a fair bit of wind and pretty nippy, but a nice 80+ miles with cuppa and cake in the middle.

Only saw a couple of other bikes the whole time - the world's in a sorry state when there are more cyclists braving the elements than bikers!

I had a nice bimble out to St Neots, was supposed to be meeting a few Meteor riders for a fry up and natter ... 3 other Meteors and about 10 assorted Jap and Beemer types rolled up, FFS if you're going to a brand specific meet go on the feckin right bike...... WANKERS
only joking they were an ok bunch......if you like wankers

 

[Sarky B’stard]

Lucky you

Snow and sheet ice on my drive......

 

[MartytheMartian]

Nothing like that here, blue skies much of the day, about five degrees of heat and one very slight spell of smirr. I didn't get out though as I spent the day cursing, swearing and chopping bits of old spare wood up with my circular saw to build an ugly but sturdy work bench for the end of my shed.

smirr??????????????????????

 

[MartytheMartian]

It's a Scottish term @Foxy It means a very fine, light rain. We've got classifications for all the different 'weights' of rain in Scotland the way Eskimo's have loads of terms for the different types of snow.

smirr??????????????????????

It's a bit of a West Coast thing. In the East it's more to do with the angle of attack! Horizontal not good....

Well after sheltering from the cold last weekend, got out for a few hours earlier today - very nice

Have to say that difference between the sun being out, or behind a cloud was significant, but still worth it.

Usual blast down Melton and Oakham way and then a cuppa and cake.

[Doc Strange]

Glorious out today!

Still needed heated grips on, but properly 'on it' riding for the first time in a while

Seemed lots of others thought the same way as plenty of bikes out.

Went out on the bike yesterday for nearly four hours of riding pleasure..The best medicine you can ever have is riding a motorbike...Absolutely brilliant..
I was so inspired I've decided to save on insurance and invest in a new helmet instead..After all safety first...ooh and some new gloves...

What size lid & gloves do you take?
I purchased a load of new gear before using it once & selling you my bike.
