not much written lately. everyones bike must be running perfectly. good to see. imagine the posts if it was a harley forum, couldnt keep up. mighty 14 does behave well. :grin:
There is not very much to write. We have frozen roads and 8 to 10 inch of that white shit called snow. Boring :angry:
It does go quiet this time of year grog, did on the old forum if you remember, as with the weather starting to deteriorate in the UK and the nights starting to draw in, the chances of getting out for a quick blast around the lanes are getting less and less. Plus it can get a bit nippy (well if you have a naked 14 it can for sure!)
sorry blokes, guess i should stop complaing about some rain and cold . 20c/68f is not warm to me for november. ill be up early to ride in the morn, winter gloves back out of box. im glad i can ride all year but on other hand, would love a lay off season, get things all fixed/modded.
yes very quiet here im only on 2/3 times an hour :stir:
I'm working away from home all week, so think I've read every page this week!! warts and all :whistling:
Hey Red ....what was the name of that crazy road you went on when you were away recently ? Talking to some scottys i play tennis with . I mentioned Perth. They said Oh just down the road.
@ Grog,
tbh I'm ready for the 'off season' and have big plans for the bike which I'm looking forward to implimenting over the coming weeks.
I was thinking to myself last night, come Spring I dont think there will be a single part of the bike that has not been altered in some way from the engine to the dust caps!
Does this make me a bad person! can I be cured :grin:

Hi Kiwi,
Hard Knott Pass is in the Lake District, not Perth but plenty of top roads near Perth
Thats it, ta :onya:

Hi T,
After watching 'Blue Planet' recently, it's good to hear it's cold somewhere in the World :onya:
Although agreed not great for riding the 14, do you have a snowmobile?
Red
Love those Blue Planet programs.
They are incredible Kiwi, the fish with the see through head blew my mind!!

@Red Biker Can you be cured? Yep. I was like that once Nigel.............then I bought a Triumph Explorer. Nothing to polish except the tank (which takes all of 10 minutes if I go slowly), as everything else is sealed and sorted to tackle all and every weather condition. Cleaning is simple. Jet wash! And all sparkling in less than 30 minutes!
So yes you can be cured, but you lose a hobby LOL. But at least then you can ride all year round without worrying about a bit of dirt on the bike :onya:
Ye Gods!!!! Did I really just type that ???????? :shocked: :shocked:
Nurse, Nurse !!!
That episode was on this week Red. Yes amazing. Wife and I were also saying what a legend Sir David Attenbourough is
Hi Dave,
I had to check to make sure your account had not been hacked after reading that!
My winter mods this year will leave my bike in a condition which will negate the need for any polishing whatsoever other than wheels which 'pardoxically' is my one concern!!
Polishing to some degree is very theraputic and my worry is I'll miss the intamacy and the satisfaction cleaning brings.
ps
can we get spell check on here!
Therapeutic intimacy and satisfaction.... polishing.....
No , they didnt print your ad this week :stir:
Big Black size 1402 with CC, loves a good ride and will pull you off in double time :jack:
Talking of which the bike is laid up for the winter so its off to S.E. Asia for some golf :whistling:

Possibly because the weathers warm and our bikes are running just beautifully. :boogie:
