The modern "mechanic" that used to MoT my BSA,
missed the bit about the rear brake and the gear lever being on the opposite sides to what he was used to,
when He was complaining that the back brake was inoperable.
However in the real world He was selecting first gear. Sheesh!

Looks like the beginnings of a second ball bag I’d get that looked at sharpish.

Just for a change I went out for a ride again & found a slightly* cleaner & lower mileage version of my bike to park next too.

I actually rode my bike last weekend for the first time since September, forecast looks ok tomorrow and there's no salt about so I might even go out again tomorrow, whatever next me riding in winter.

I scored very low on the autie test. I’m cheerful, happy, confident, like meeting new people, chatty and largely sociable. What the fuck am I doing on this forum?

Looks like a motorcycle version of an Oozlum bird.

I've put my CB750F and GS650GT for sale on Facebook.

The CB was covered in pigeon shit, so time for a wash.

I've just dropped this in the Ride5000miles FB group, it's highly amusing how many are taking it seriously :lol: :lol:
