Evening Colin was out for 3 hours this evening myself Fougerses castle via everywhere on the way there and back, been hot here all day, still 23c now 🥵 complete lack of traffic here to, very quiet Sunday, wurzels from my neck of the woods in the uk lol, shame about the holiday mate, but it probably wouldn’t be much fun for the wounded soldier, always next year, your fishing trip, think I would take the big blow up one, so when you have to get up at the crack of dawn aching all over you will have room to move about 😂 Considered an open pipe but so may people say the noise is irritating, love the chuff the classic makes, nice ride mate pretty destination where’s yer rods 😂 …..

When you get some more km up mate my rear shocks smoothed out a lot on compression and rebound, I have a far more compliant ride now than when new, I’m coming up 8000km, I’m impressed with the bouncy bits considering the cost of the bike, Sundays here was lovely went for a ride to pointe du Roc the Granville version of point du Hoc, German bunker system on shore Battery with bits of the guns on display nice in the sunshine, 🤣🤣🤣🤣 yeah you generally get a lot of french campers in France mate 😳 made me lol, air de camping car can be free or a nominal fee (€5) or one with services €10-16 forward thinking in my opinion small fee for 24h come and shop and eat in the resturants brilliant system I think there are more than 4000 of them in France. Sarah and I use to love the roadside Frites stops when touring over her in the 80s 90s and early 20s but now they are few and far between 😢 I think the hygiene issue saw their demise, funny that film and photos just don’t show the true colour, Sunday the sea was a magnificent colour in Mont st Michel bay with the sun on it took a photo and colour just looked grey 🙁 good ride mate enjoyed that ….

Hi Colin. Just catching up on my KZbin pals. After my long weekend away. Firstly hopefully your daughter gets the surgery done and it’s a success for her. She is young to have this done, but young enough to heal. I was 8 when diagnosed with Crohn’s (what a lot of crap that is😂) The suspension is pretty pants, on the Meteor. I did the the 2 clicks up on the shocks. It does mellow out some with age (5,000 miles) But, am getting the Michelin rubber and Hagon shocks fitted this coming Monday. So do a wee phone video on that….😂😂. Great to see Gigi out and about, going like a dream. Best wishes for your daughter’s forthcoming surgery. Big hugs.

Some motorcycle suppliers are asking the earth. My Himalayan has a Chinese adventure top box, £75. Temu brake reservoir cage, £3 Temu. Chinese qualdlock about £5. Seat cushion £8 Temu and I ride with my Lidl flip front helmet and 30 year old leather jacket and cadet boots which were £20 from India. The last oil filters I bought were 5 for £15 delivered from India with seals, O rings and gaskets. Riding with quality does not have to cost the earth.

Hi, getting the air box pipes back to where they should be is a pain in the ass, there's no given way, time and patience is the only answer I can offer, are you saying when you accelerate the bike lacks in power? If so there could be many reasons, carb sync is one, air mixture, diaphragms in the carbs can cause this if they are old and the rubber cuff is hard, are the spark plugs good ? Generally these bikes run like a dream and are pretty indestructible, but little things deplete with age, thanks for watching, take care ..... Colin ☺️

Evening Pete, I've heard mixed views on the new transalp, but there again doesn't that happen with any new bike, like you I miss my BMW, but I know its just too dam heavy for me now, definitely need to keep those pesky hornets at bay, do you remember years ago on push bike we had those metal clip things around our trousers to stop them getting caught in the chain, maybe get some to stop any unwanted things going up our trousers 😂, ........ Colin 😊

Morning Colin, like you avoid cities wherever possible luckily in France most cities have a autoroute going straight through them although most I have visited here are stunning 🥴 architecturally, I think because like you I was born in the city and scarred us for life, in my case the smoke. YES mate be very afraid of them hornets in the helmet, that one that went up my jeans leg and stung me, still have the lump from last summer, bloody painful and my leg swelled and went black 😬 the Docs here take them very seriously,they put me on a ecg and scanned the lump to see the direction of the poison, he told me very dangerous in France, Sarah and I liked Quimperle, as cities go… have a great time with your mate…. Pete🇫🇷

Afternoon Pete, cities yes definitely a place to avoid, but as I'm writing this I'm back in Quimper with my grandson 😂, I must admit, I did enjoy the ride, hornets definitely to be avoided, maybe we need to tuck our jeans in our boots...... Colin 😊

I'm impressed Colin. Its been forty years since I changed my own car tyres and it was a killer. That bead breaker seems excellent, The last one I used was a home made slide hammer that weighed more than the car. I like the idea of using window spray as soap can rot the rims. Decent tyre irons are a must and yours seem excellent. Thanks for posting

Hi Paul, the bead breaker makes it a lot easier, although it is really for motorcycle tyres, before I had it I used a cold chisel and lump hammer, now that was hard work, I've had those irons for years, I've got a smaller set I use for the bike, window cleaner, can't beat it, I used to buy the proper tyre soap, but as I don't do them often it dries out and was wasted, thanks for watching, take care ....... Colin ☺️

Sorry mate delirious pushed the send button,🙄 yes port launay looks lovely and it would be a treat to have one of those places overlooking the canal, very quiet even for lunch time ! I think what your trying to say is mate, they all look the same, no character, the RE range is chock full of character, if you have any knowledge of motorcycles you would have no problem identifying a meteor, classic, Himmie, and definitely the new shotgun as, they look like nothing else on the road. I know what you mean mate only on the autoroute do I feel just 10-15kph an hour will make all the difference, went out at 0930 this morning 27c on the Vespa, bit naughty only Tee and jeans, as very warm so pottered around to our closest supermache picking up bits we needed, they all look like they have been looted over the weekend lots of empty shelves and staff restocking as quick as possible, this seems to be the theme here now during the holiday season, can’t believe you had rain 😳 a few tech probs but still a good ride mate. …..Pete🇫🇷

What valve does the gas go into mate? Because there’s 2 very close together on the partner tepee? Cheers
@droneon29
@droneon29 Ай бұрын
Morning Daniel, and thanks for watching, yes there are 2 valves, one is always smaller than the other, and it's the small one you use, don't worry you can't go wrong as it doesn't matter what make of product you use , the gauge supplied with the lock on connection will only fit the small connector, it's a really good idea to wear some gloves, hope I've helped.... . .

Sorry to see that mate, we have had blue skies and sunshine all day we have been working in the garden since 9.30 and were a bit burnt, last nite here despite the promise of thunderstorms was glorious, after dinner went for a ride on the classic to Cancal and port mere and got back at 9.30 pm every resturant from pontorson to port mere was buzzing lovely to see, apparently 49% chance of rain tonight Sarah’s just informed me 🙁 …… Pete

Morning Pete, well Saturday morning and it's still raining here, looks like another weekend wiped out, I really think Finistère is the worse place in the whole of France when it comes to weather, if it's wind it's rain, it's just how much you can take !!!!

Morning mate well we got what you had all night here, but blue skies and warm already, been up since 4am 😳 I gen get up early but bloody hell, I was up before the cats 🐈‍⬛🐈🐈 🙄 hope the sun stays out as roofed the gap between the summer house and shed and was to crooked to finish a couple of bits (Bloody back) french news 24 listed the wettest places in France on a yearly basis and they are all in the east of the country, Finister was way down the list, although I doubt that makes you feel any better, Sorry mate 🙁

Hi Pete, I was up bright and early as usual, I'm afraid it's extremely cloudy here, although for now it's stopped raining, we shall see, I'm busy today with the family, but I'm hoping to get out on the bike tomorrow, weather permitting 🤣, then next Saturday I'm away for a week, my mate comes over every year and we sod off for a week, so looking forward to that, have a good weekend.......
