Not good Bud, but it's got to be a record for how long anything wheeled has survived in your care*?

You can tell it's summer as I took my jacket off to sit by the fire at the Tan Hill Inn.

Which means with just pleasure use I've done 4k since 30th April & 14,032 since this day last year. Oh & it's due a service again.

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?

The moped club has gained 2 more members.
My brother has bought a Yamaha MS50 and another mate has bought a Jawa Freewheeler.
My brother sold his RM 80 to buy his and the fella with the Jawa owns 3 Ducatis.
The chap with the Honda express rides an R1 or Triumph 675 normally.
This may be getting out of hand.

A spotty 16 year old me would be drooling at the prospect of road registering the RM80 as a 50......

132k service done tonight. As I took the cam cover off to sort a tiny oil weep I checked the valve clearances, still identical to when I first looked at 15k. Balanced the throttles too so she's smooth again and washed her.
Now as it's sunny I've put her away because I want food more than a short rideout.

I think I'm going to have to buy another bike, this pcp thing is great and all I do is put fuel in it and tyres every 3k but I've not done anything meaningful in the garage now for a few years, tempted to buy a shitty SV650 and make a track bike out of it or something, anything to get me out of having to talk to the missus and sit through coronation street.
