The Retirement Thread

Morning. It’s warm and humid but there’s a strong breeze so it shouldn’t feel to bad for a walk soon.

Cooooeeeee. I've been awake for ages. 17 deg and damp here. Its misty as well and i think I can hear rain as well. Yep I can.

Stay safe peeps

I have risen!

Helping out with the parish fete today.

Good morning all. First mug of tea being drunk.
There is a nice breeze blowing at the moment but it's due to warm up later on, 27⁰ is the forecast.
All the cats have been fed, Poppy and Daisy have gone out, and Harry has come in. He really is a night cat.

Thought I would pop back in and let you all know that I just got Wordle in two guesses. First guess had a single letter correct but in the wrong position.
I'm off to buy a lottery ticket 🤞😁

Well, I went back to bed and got another 90 minutes kip in.
Very overcast out there.

Morning.
Crap nights sleep, oh well it happens on occasion.
Overcast, misty and damp out so not the weather I was hoping for to get out and meet club on a social ride. Currently undecided, I want to ride as not been since Wednesday but raining in the wet is my least fun thing to do. I'll give it an hour or so.

Overcast here in Poshshire, but quite muggy. Bruce only got half his ball throwing session, didnt want to overheat him.

Morning all

Off to pick up the Barracuda in a couple of hours time.
I'll get it up on my workbench and have a good look over it when I get back.
The Flying Scotsman will be going back and forth outside our place for the next few days. We're expecting lots of railway nerds lining the lanes, trying to get a good photo. They best not set up on my property.

 

[Binky]

You say Barracuda is a project bike but by the photo it looks in pretty decent condition?

It'll be a project bike by the time he's taken it apart while drunk!

There's a couple of parts missing - oil tank filter and oil banjo. Forks need looking at. Petrol tank needs a repair.
I'll get it running first then set about the other stuff.
It's got new tyres and was running when put away a couple of years ago, so I'm not expecting anything disastrous - but you never know....

I envy you as I'd love to buy an old British bike and spend days fettling but I have too many sports and hobbies to even consider it! Plus the wife would have a fit. Decades ago I was what was then termed a biker, in a gang etc. Seems several lifetimes away now.

I've not MOTd by last remaining bike for 4 years now, and I've now built,t a work bench round it. When I die archaeologists will retrieve it and marvel at the last surviving FZR600.

There's a really popular Bike Night held every Tuesday night on Poole Quay. Loads of customized bikes and people having a really good time. I was tempted to pop down on my blinged up CHPT3 Brommie but I don't have a leather jacket 😉
