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

[Scrappy]

Got to see my son this evening, for the first time in months, so had a great nearly 120 mile run on the Monster.

I discovered two things today - First is that modern bike headlights are fecking awesome, I was amazed how well the road was illuminated, and high beam was brilliant. Secondly that deprived of a barber for months my son's hair has an uncanny resemblance to Marouane Fellaini

He's got his Dad's Roman nose.
It's roaming all over his face!

An homage to Simoncelli hair?

Only when I put curlers in

Joking aside, saw the crash live, had been following his progress since 125s so have always had a little tribute on bikes or gear since.

Nice blast on the Daytona - nothing insane but a proper run, and it all worked fine.

Checked in garage after an hour and no unwanted puddles, so all good.

I now consider that chapter of fettling closed

Confident it won't spill its guts at Donny!

Hoping for a good summer of riding before needing to do anything again.

Annie took me for a spin to "Last of the summer wine" country this afternoon. Yes, yes, my spiritual home! Really warm and perfect riding conditions. The new tyres are finally scrubbed in. Nice little hot rod parked at Oil Can cafe.

Great photos mate, Annie is looking fantastic
That hotrod/ratrod looks the dogs bits!
Was it a Ford Pop with the roof chopped? What engine did it have?

Apparently it started life as an Austin! But it has 2.8 litre of Ford's finest in there now.

Looks like a 221? Much like the baby Buick from which the Rover derived.

Couldn't tell you, I just thought it looked cool, with just the right amount of "patina" or "character". Not sure about front, side, or rear vision though!

Stuff like that has always been an "up yours" to mainstream cars. But even more so in this age of the eco warrior!

Compo is a picture of style and sartorial elegance compared to yours truly.

Well I took a quick spin out today just to blow away the cobwebs even though it's been damp and grey all day here. Unfortunately one road out of my village is closed from 8am to 8pm, Monday to Friday, at the moment as apparently there is some sort of fungus in the larch trees up that way that means the forestry have been ordered to be destroy them and. until they are finished (expected to be June ) they will be following this closure pattern and the other road is littered with gravel and needs some patching. Not the greatest fun and, of course, just about everywhere they have roadworks in place because it's the end of the financial year. Buggers better have it sorted for when/if the good weather arrives!

 

[Sarky B’stard]

Sudden Larch Death. It has become a big problem in the damp SW from Kircudbright upwards and in NI and NW England. You get areas of brown, dying trees visible for miles. Naturally great blocs of monoculture help it to spread . T’ain’t natural even if the SE Asian fungus is. More cultural enrichment!!

Blackpool or what I thought it was, looked like Karachi, mixed with Romania.

That place is off my go to now, I didn't even feel safe parking up and going for a stroll.
