Bikers' Banter

I have yet another new internet provider. I have no idea why it hid this site, but I missed you all, so it's nice to be here. Bob has pictures! Nev has pictures! Brig has always had pictures! I don't have pictures and not just on here now. I live in hope that someone who can work a computer will com...

That sounds just like my church roof cat. Crowds of do gooders used to gather, but luckily there was no Facebook then.
The Vicar got fed up with being contacted and asked to call the fire brigade and I decided to say it wasn't mine.

A good week. No punctures.
I wonder how long I can keep the latest tyre going

I bought a Triumph mesh jacket on ebay a while back. Lovely jacket, but a tad restricting. It would be a perfect fit if I weighed a few pounds less, but it was such a good price and immaculate.

I was thinking of you last night, after you told me your news.
I really hope things get better for you all. xx

I've done over 4,000 miles on the Street Twin and it's first major service is due at 10,000. I'm a hundred miles short of the target, but it's 40 miles to the Triumph dealers, so I won't be far off. I asked for a price, before I booked it in and it's just under £400, which is half the price of a maj...

I have internet again! I also have a very expensive new tyre on the Bonneville, so I'll be making a start on wearing the rubber whiskers off it. Choir practice this morning and then a ride round, if it stays dry. I always seem to ride on new tyres in the wet, so I'd like to have a dry run, for once....

Today is a rare day. The internet seems to be working! I've been fighting with it for about 6 weeks. No banking, no hospital visits, no posting pictures on FB. No emails and definitely no shopping online. On 3rd July I will be properly connected and hopefully all these things will work properly agai...

I managed to avoid that particular era of technology altogether.
Also, I've seen a fax machine and there's no way it's going to fit on my bike.....
