I'm actually bored working on it

I spent 3 - 4 evenings at it and can't stand the sight of it now. I was so bored yesterday when I was supposed to be "working from home" I put up shelves in the bedroom closet.

Spent yesterday taking the bike apart for a service. Oil, filter, air filter, plugs, new bearings, greased and lubed the rear shock and linkage as well as adjusting and cleaning the chain as well as getting the scottoiler up and running again. Took me 10 hrs :pac: Going to clean and ACF50 it tomorrow all ready for the end of the lockdown in October

Could be worse...you could have/catch the virus....;)

Think positive..better days ahead..hopefully.:)

Hotblack Desiato

Hope everyone here is OK jobwise.

Working from home is a bit of a pain in the hole (especially with the kids not in school) but at least I know I'm going to get paid

Careful now, you'll be one of those born-again bikers soon.

Hotblack Desiato

I'll have to undergo refresher training at this rate!

Think we'll all have to do a refresher course.....:o

TIP...make sure you put your keys safe somewhere ...bored kids will put any thing any where...;)

Unbelievable sh1t with the cars blowing through the lights here. Counted 5 of them doing in a 2 hr period.

Hotblack Desiato

TBH I think it's OK to treat a red light as a stop sign if there's feck all traffic around

Going through without hardly slowing, not good.

Are you serious? You're trolling now surely.

Hotblack Desiato

Yes I am being serious. There is no point sitting at a red light for 2 or 3 minutes and watching nothing go through the green light during that time. If there's any traffic or pedestrians about then don't do this, obviously. Anyway, don't want to get into a "debate" (i.e. get dog's abuse) again thanks.

That's been going on for years now. Worse I saw was 10 going through one red on the N81, usually its only 2 or 3 break the red.

There's no debate to be had. You're wrong. Again.

You think it's okay to jump a red light? It doesn't require an explanation.

Right yeah. I suppose you never break a speed limit either... and in Dublin, whatever about anywhere else, there is almost nowhere a motorbike can be parked fully legally...

Some people have petrol for blood and he was one of them. If you came across a forgotten McQueen bike your money troubles would be over.
