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

[Public Enemy]

Q. I was looking to change the oil but its like a really weak cup of tea and only done 2500 miles since the last change. Best to top it up or replace?

How long since last change? If it's 2500 miles in a year, I'd say change it. It it's 2500 miles in a few months I'd just top it up.
Even with premium oil, an oil change is relatively cheap in the overall scheme of things. And you have the peace of mind of knowing that you've done it properly.

I topped it up and will check the colour tomorrow, if it looks slightly shit, I will replace and the filter.

Went for a ride over to the King's Cliffe RAF Memorial this afternoon.





Passed the Welland Valley Viaduct on route, so stopped for a quick pic.

Kings Cliff was the place where Glenn Millar played his last Hanger concert before his ill fated trip I think there is a memorial close by to indicate that

How are you trying to upload them Don?
The easiest way is to click the symbol that looks like a mountain in a rectangular box.
Then click inside the box that pops up. That'll take you to where your photo are stored.
Click the one you want & Bob's ya Dads brother

Bet yo ass when it's sorted, it will be pissing down again.

Saves you posting tho, when I feel that first drop of rain I'll know you're working on the bike

Or, less politely, change it you lazy cheap cunt. X

Thanks Don, that gives me an excuse to go over there again

Just back in from a wee spin over to Inveraray and beyond. @Tallpaul may recognise the location of this one

That one is cropped to let you see the building better. Next is the big picture

Next we have a wee view looking back towards the North of Loch Awe from somewhere around halfway down

Then finally a view to the South of Loch Awe with some of it's islands.

Beautiful evening for a spin. The Bluebells are in bloom as is the Gorse so the whole countryside is a riot of Green, Purplish Blue and Yellow! Unfortunately for some reason the Bluebells never look as good in photos as they do to the Mk.1 Eyeball so I never photograph them.

Great pics Marty, what a stunning place you live in.

 

[MartytheMartian]

I appreciate this place more and more every time I ride out @Scrappy The roads are smooth, traffic is generally minimal to non-existant and the peace is only broken by some bugger on a Bonneville or another Bonneville or a Daytona

Agreed. I never take pictures of things I want to remember. I just make sure I absorb them fully.

I used to do quite a bit of 35mm photography but something about the joy evaporated with digital. I use it as a tool now, notebook stuff. And that on a phone, I don't own a camera anymore.

 

[MartytheMartian]

I don't own a camera myself now, my last Digital SLR was totally eclipsed by the capabilities of the camera built into my Huawei phone (Even if the Chinese get copies of everything I photograph). Never found even a film camera that could measure up to the Mk.1 Eyeball and digital has a flat quality.
