Now hang it in the khazi before too many people see it.
Pride of place!!

Splendid. One of my paintings is hanging in the Loo-vre. I feel flushed with success and will never be de-turd. In fact I'm on a roll.

You can sit there and admire my bog standard technique.

Or compare it to Pissaro, perhaps. Or even Botticelli...


BRILLIANT ..... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Looks a bit like a LEGO bike to me but I can see the appeal.

I was just looking at pics of those just yesterday. Looks cool doesn't it? I like the idea of that.

Just needs some bloke with a tache on top of it really.

Took the SH125 out for a spin to warm it up as I’m oncall tomorrow and the last thing I want to find out is that the battery is flat or something.
It’s a very easy bike to ride, the seat is fairly firm but one of those 3D mesh seat pads takes care of it. I think it’ll do around 180 miles to the 7 litre tank so distances would be quite easy. I’m still breaking it in but next week I’ll need to ride down to Devon to look after my mum so it’ll get a nice long journey.
Much preferring this warmer weather!

The addition of (butt ugly) bar muffs on my SH helped it's all-year-round capabilities.

Unless you've got heated gear they'd make any long distance runs in Winter much more comfortable.

Best of all mine were a free gift from a riding buddy who didn't have any need. ImageImage

It must be a day for getting out, I had to take the Super Cub to Dartmouth to get some petrol for my petrol Strimmer today. First time it’s turned a wheel since Christmas Eve. Let’s hope we might get out before the end of the summer. I know Dartmoor is waiting for me to walk the length of it for this years long weekend challenge.

I got my TW125 out today, to take a picture to sell it, I need the space.

I got it in the first lockdown as a bit of a project. It stands me at £940 and thats what I’m asking for it. They’re fetching daft money.
It starts and ticks over nicely, I’ve only ridden it up and down the lane outside my house, so don't know what it’s like on a longer trip, but it’s got 12 months MOT and the logbook is in my name.
I put it on the TW facebook group this afternoon and within the hour I had two wanting to come and look at it and someone has offered me £1000, if I can deliver it to Barrow-in-Furness.
