We had a "drink the place dry" night last night at my rugby club so I had a lie in today, got up around 1300hrs spent the next 3hrs cleaning the bike, mrs Jimmy then came home sans kids telling me they were at their aunties and she was off to work...result put the cleaning gear back into the (still) cleared shed and went a wee run on t'bonnie which turned into quite a long one. Got back home around 2230hrs, wife back from work, kids in bed so opened a few beers and here I am.
 happy and contented in the style of MacNut

Yup, wish I had a few notes to chuck at that morini, mrs. jessplop would really like to own that!
I also saw this 21 leaking oil, it's front brake appeared to be a stone wall !

Saturday I dug my wife's neglected Honda Hornet 250-four out of the garage, got it running and took it out to clear the cobwebs. It revs to 16000rpm and sounds much faster than it is. 
So imagine the copper hiding in the layby, hearing a bike accelerating hard through the gears towards him, he aims his laser gun, the bike comes over the hill at 10000rpm, he pulls the trigger, beep : 55mph. What the f*ck ? He zapped me again and got the same result. He looked well gutted as I cruised past laughing.

Nice Buell FB. Top for tearing around the mountains ! Very nice sunny weather here in the Harz although still bloody cold at night and first thing in the morning. I did circa 100 miles via Torfhaus (deserted), down the other side of the Harz and ended up at Netzkarte (popular biking stopoff point in the south harz) which is just north of Nordhausen (and that was dead as well). Coffee, cake and then back via the B243 (top biking road).
Adjusted the chain on the CB1000, changed the oil and air filters and general checkover.
Watched some crap german TV and then bed.
Best regards from the Harz

He died. If he hadn't he'd be about 140 years old by now

On the contrary, dear sir!
The very power on the silent movie is its ability to compensate (or over compensate) for the lack of sound with huge amounts of over acting! Thats where the humour comes from in the Harold Lloyd style flicks.
Picture a close up of Strokerboy fiercly giving it huge handfulls of gas and vapour trials from the exhaust , tucking into a full racing crouch and grimacing with a side look to the camera. This is alternating with a pic of Dibble hearing the sounds from over the hill (a hand to the ear and quizicle look does the job). Back to Strokerboy clearly gaining pace. Back to dibble preparing the Lazer Pro100 for the certainty of a 3 pointer and £60 fine. Then the shot pans out and you see lambs gambling along in the background clearly moving faster than our leather clad hero!
that stuff used to make me titter anyway.
But I know where you are coming from Jimmy. Point taken.

S'not a stroker - it's got cams and valves and stuff. At 16000rpm it sounds more like an electric foodmixer than a bike anyway.

Lozzie, when you paint the full picture I can only sit back and admire your vision
Strokerboy, pardon my ignorance I'm caught in a time warp basically if it aint British I don't know anything about it, I could probably condense it even more to if it aint a Triumph I don't know anything about it

did what I should have done yesterday and stripped off the rocker box. Took 4 1/2 hours from start to finish.
Took it out for a road thra..test and perfect, no more leaks!
After wringing her up to 90 and getting things to srcape going down the lanes I had a big grin. Think the SR is one of the most fun bikes to ride I've ever owned, just makes you grin from ear to ear. had a beer after. Today was a good day

Took the B175 out for a spin in the sunshine today. I don't know how accurate my clock is but I wound her up and she was showing 65 with some in reserve. I guess thats gotta be wrong, a Bantam able to do nearly 70.
<~~Cool grandad dude.

There is a very attractive open ended spanner to compensate and round off nuts.

No shifter as it wasn't used. My fav shifter was at work anyhow.
Did my most hated thing though.....put an Imperial thread on a metric bike
Found one of the engine mounts (welded nut on the frame) with a stripped thread. Not enough metal to go out to 10mm, no 8mm helicoils in the box. Found a 3/8 aircraft bolt and first and bottom UNF taps. So faced with having a loose engine mount or waiting to get some helicoils I tapped it out to 3/8"
I'm going out later to see if the two things; the metric bike and the imperial bolt, have taken to each other.

Could be an improvement , worth a couple of miles per hour.
I have tried diplomacy on HP, several home(shed) made inovations(bodges) are done metric as imp nuts and bolts take ages to get hold of here. No hacking on frame or engine though, at least not directly.
I finally received my new Head Gasket, HodgePodge will get back together tonight after slavery.

Today, I went fishing... Read Jupiter's travels by a good sized lake and had the best fishing time I could have hoped for. The book is awsome and the fish (the big ones I was after) were suitably lazy so I got to digest big chunks of Ted Simon (hang on, that sounds bad doesn't it...) between strikes and playing the Giant Meekong Catfish into the shore.
Happy day!
