Keep up . What is the title of the second Wallace and Grommet film ?

I'll be a bit earlier . I'm guessing your going to be on your CBF .

And in torrential rain both directions .

I spent the last several days giving my bike a deep clean and polish ready for Coventry Moto Fest and I am well satisfied with my efforts .

I'll show you guys my " Brick Method " tomorrow if I can be arsed .

Here you go . Use this as a benchmark . https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/363939715987?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=Dud63zJhQHK&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=9xhDzDPcSSK&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=MORE

I haven't got a lot to add to the very realistic assessment from Mr Bullfrog . It's an entry level commuter bike that is exactly equal to the sum of its parts . It has no style to speak of and is of little interest to collectors or custom builders alike . The most attractive feature by far is the mileage . This bike has taken twenty two years to equal the miles I traveled last month ! Put it out there for £ 2,000 and someone will come along in due course .

Apparently not .

Some people still work 9 - 5 ..

Well they know where they can stick that then . Have you checked out Huggie,s Speed Shop ?

I've been past this place loads of times but Ive never ventured in because I've read so many conflicting reports concerning the welcome that awaits . Maybe the bad reviews are from car drivers but I understand that you may or may not be charged just for parking depending on whether your vehicle is deemed to be interesting or not . Something like that .

I could easily pop down on the Sunday for a chat but the Ride In only takes place on the Saturday . By the way , did you ever remove the air filter badge ? I've just discovered the original badge underneath , which was nice .

So who's going to join me NEXT WEEKEND at Coventry Motofest ? The Ride In this year begins assembling at Draycot Water near Rugby at around 07:30 and departs for Coventry at 09:30 . All bikes are welcome . When you arrive in Coventry there will be plenty to see and do as the whole City Centre will be full of vintage and custom vehicles . I understand that there will be a return to live displays on the Coventry Ring Road . Here's some pics from last year's event.

Last time I parked at the side of the road I was moved on by the Police .

But it's a revival of a Great British icon of motorcycling .......Made in France

I came upon this motorcycle in a local showroom on Saturday . £43,000 to you sir . So what do we think of it , f**k ugly or extremely desirable ?

Until this happend I'd have been inclined to agree with all of that . However , it was definitely a wasp and it definitely left it's sting in me . I did brush the sting off but it's left a nasty lump ..

And another one . The nob in Tamworth around six o'clock on the black Soft Tail with Apes . It's one thing wearing nothing but a black Tupperware bowl on your ugly bonce but parking yourself forty feet beyond the traffic lights and sitting there gunning your engine is impressing nobody . Embarrassing !

All wasps are nobs but the one that stung me on the neck when I was riding my bike on Sunday was especially a nob . I had to pull over quick and get my jacket off in a hurry . The rotten thing fell to the floor and just wandered around in a circle . The sting and half its giblets were still pumping venom into my neck so I didn't bother to stamp on it . Later on I happened upon a MacDonalds so I enquired as whether they had any vinegar to put on the throbbing sting . I'm sure the girl meant well but when she presented me with a large sachet of Balsamic Dressing I realized that my request had been rather optimistic .

Macdonald's coffee IS good . Just the right taste and strength for me .

I couldn't agree more . Love the touch screens and a Banana Milkshake is just perfect on a hot day . Table service , air conditioning , WiFi and phone charging . What's not to like about that ?

I'm sitting in a MacDonalds . There is a Premier Inn through the hedge and I can say with total honesty that I don't know where I am . And I'm not that bothered .

Only a first reaction but I would have thought that flying in the vicinity of a National Air Traffic System facility would be an absolute no no . And an obvious one .

If you only slightly think it might be a scam , why subject yourself to the any anxiety about it ? If someone wants your bike , they can come and fetch it and either bring a wad of cash with them or you both go into a bank and complete a transfer . When I sold my Sportster , I took a deposit by PayPal and promptly banked it . Then the buyer had a change of mind and proposed sending a courier instead of collection in person . I said I was not too happy and within seconds this prick was screaming for his money back . If I can be arsed to lug my helmet and boots all the way to Portsmouth by train then I expect someone else to do the same . In the end I sold my bike to a very nice lady who arrived when she said she would and paid cash when she said she would .
