Two wheels good.

Talk about your cars etc here. Keep it sort of sensible and on topic please.

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?

Just heard back from one of the Limobike boys. Apparently Lukas really knows his stuff but he can’t count.
Also a new electronic shock is more like £3500!

Been blatting round the field again this weekend with the boy.
Something very satisfying about riding around with him. Had the welcome addition of a C90 as well this weekend, such good fun on its shitty ancient road tyres on the long, dead grass, it slips about all over the place. The Honda express, favoured by Reggie, was in my eyes, the hardest to ride. The centrifugal clutch, not giving much clue, as to how much, is too much, coming out of corners. I nearly came off it.
C90 second, in terms of being slidy and fun and, the big wheel pitbike, obviously being the most sure footed with its knobbly tyres.
I rode the C90 more than anything else.

Go on then: How much does Feltz upset the rear suspension? :lol:

:lol: She’s lost a lot of weight compared to the first time I took her. To be fair to her she’s a good passenger. Not fidgety and leans with the bike. I’d much rather take a fucking massive good passenger than some little squirt who can’t keep still.

Been out on the 14 all day, it's still throwing error codes but it's riding ok so I'm classing that as mostly fixed.

A couple of lasses I know who ride 14s had been over Manc for the weekend visiting a mate of theirs and invited me over for breakfast if I showed them a more scenic route back. So Cat n Fiddle for them both to have their first ride over, Matlock Bath and back. Bumped into Bub in Matlock too.

Bike rally at the fish quay yesterday which I didn't know about. Out on the c90 when I got caught in a line of traffic going in. The fuckers tried to charge me £4 to show my bike. No thanks.
