Paulr5604’s bike

[paulr5604]

First Ride out tonight to Fimber cafe near Fridaythorpe where my dad's ashes are scattered as he used to love riding to there with my mum. Just a a quick ish 36 mile round trip. Then when I got home my eldest daughter (11) wanted to go for a ride so she put on my wife's bike gear and we just had a pootle round our town just to see how she took to it. She says that she wants to go for a longer ride at the weekend.

I like Fimber, I didn't realise it'd reopened from the winter break yet.

And you guys think us Aussies have strange place-names.  Whoever came up with 'Fridaythorpe' must've been high on something or ' Thursdaywidget' was already taken....

It's history mate, something you lot only have a few months of 

Fridaythorpe: The 'thorpe' (or farm) belonging to a Viking named Frigdaeg Fulford: Anglo-Saxon name meaning the 'foul' or dirty ford.

There's a river a mile or two away next to an abandoned medieval village, so that might explain the ford part. There's a village called Wetwang a few mile up the road too with a great chippy.

Or 40,000years plus, depending on your p.o.v.

The cafe wasn't open just the car park.

Ok, lets get back on topic, enough of these "interesting" place names and suchlike   

[paulr5604]

 :rofl2:I don't mind people going off topic in the slightest.

Bike is running okay a little bit hesitant sometime when opening the throttle but putting that down to the old fuel that was in it will run a couple of tanks of fresh fuel through it before getting concerned.

Just need to put some money aside for replacing the standard exhaust. That will have to wait need until I have some more funds.

Unless someone wants to swap a pair of aftermarket for my standard silencers

Maybe try some injector cleaner and use premium fuel for those couple of tanks - will help clean the system
