Reckon he likes his Ducatis!

I've never really understood when blokes bring bikes into their house, is it not easier to just bring a sofa to the garage?

Definitely a single blokes house.

[Prof Prolapse]

Ah.

Have you noticed it's always a Ducati?

I bet "a man" put them there.

It's obvious it's a blokes or recently divorced blokes place, totally devoid of any pictures on the walls or novelty items. Totally practical and well laid out.

Took a run out to dust off the cobwebs today

Not sure this is my thing but it looked exquisite



I may have "dusted off the cobwebs" on this road

Several times

Choose Life. Choose a bike. Choose a litre. Choose a fking big manufacturer, choose anti-wheelie, decent abs, and three way traction control.

Choose a good seating position, low end torque, and 200 brake. Choose fixings that don't rot to fk. Choose a decent fairing. Choose decals and lacquer that's covering them. Choose a chain adjuster notch on both sides.

Choose not to do Drill, copper slip or replace every bding bolt holding it fking together and wondering what the fk you are doing on a wet Friday afternoon.

Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fking junk food into your mouth because your not still trying to service the fker.

I chose not to choose a decent litre bike.

I chose a fking Honda.

Its the only thing that eased my pain after owning a Fireblade.

[Löyly]

Sounds like this Fireblade has really distanced itself from the mantra of being the superbike you can use every day.

LOL, you can see the shed at the bottom of the garden where the bikes used to live before the wife moved out, and now the house is on the market

Glad to hear you're finally enjoying the lump.

[moanthebairns]

New chain and sprockets on. They were the original 18 year old 22K ones. fk me took ages to simply clear the gunge of parts. I love my 24" breaker bar it makes mince meat of stuff like this.



It's had new headers, new rear spring and rebuilt shock. It just needs carbs synced In time for it sitting in the garage for winter.

It's probably verging on uneconomical what I've spent on it (going on another thread) but who cares.

I don't think it matters if you are keeping it, you could easily buy something else and have to spend £500 on consumables, even old bikes need maintenance, something a lot of people don't seem to bother with.
