YAY it's Fridayy!!

This forum is awfully quiet, and this is not because our bikes are too few, they're just too reliable
So, let me start a Friday rant/joke/remark thread, to be added to by you all, posters or lurkers - post whenever you feel like it, even if it's not quite Friday yet!

As soon as the cage opens here I will be off, I'll drive myself to Natal.
That's some 600 kilometers or 5 hours, doable and not a chore because at the other end a party with loadsa friends is waiting. My van is too low to take the bike so no riding this weekend, bitofa pity but fine enough.
We'll barbecue tonight, and no doubt the wine will flow liberally - but tomorrow morning there'llbe no hangover as it's a kilometer lower altitude wise

Have a good weekend you all, and post your plans here!

Plan for tonight purchase stock bash plate....got 1 from Ireland for £50 posted which I think is a damn good price....
Currently have the Ricochet 1 fitted but fancy a stock 1 for a change + Birthday soon so kids can buy it for me

Yeah I know its Sunday now but....

Major achievement yesturday - got the BRP started again after a year of work and family stuff meaning not a lot of time for riding!!! Leave tonight for UK for 6 weeks break yippee!

Nice and sunny in UK at the moment bit to warm to ride lol

Then come here with pig Mauser, it was 2 degrees C this morning..... but, it will climb to 17C at around 4 this afternoon!
I lit the fireplace yesterday again, got plenty of wood to make it comfortable at night - winter here, a good one for a change, plenty of snow even in our South!

Be afraid, be VERY afraid.... as it is Friday the 13th today!
Do not go out of the house, hide under your bed and do not drink any beverage which requires boiled water!
If you see a cat and there's a ladder also somewhere shoot the cat just to be safe, and put a rabbit's paw in your pocket.... you might make midnight this way!

I had lotsa coffees already, will go ride & wheelie in town, have picked up a cat from the SPCA and swung the bugger under a ladder which I pinched from the neighbour, scaling his devil's forked fence.
Why?
Well, I can't get under my bed you see, it's a solid contraption.... so then all the other stuff won't matter either!


Oh, yeah, or rather No, I'm not superstitious, better tell someone who cares about this all

Hell it's Friday today!
Oh wait, Hello it's Friday today!
Get rid of your workplace ASAP, then race home (shame if you bicycle or bus or train), then light a fire (sorry if you live in a flat or do not have a garden/patio), wait until the embers glow and then chuck some meat on it, barbeque it!
Do not forget to pour yourself a drinksssssssss whilst the fire is progressing, as this helps to mask the charcoaly taste if you forget the meat and it burns - which, if you start drinking is very likely to happen

Enjoy the weekend chaps, I most certainly will!

It's Friday again..... and it seems this forum has died a silent death
Anybody out there ?????
Hope so, and that the answer will be "Yay, zero problems here, I'm riding my piggie to my heart's content!"

Let my try my best with a joke then.
Bush, Obama and Trump did die and are now standing for God.
God tells them he will ask what they think to determine where they will go.
God asks Bush first, "What do you think?"
Bush says he believes in America, the freedom of the people and in democracy.
God replies "Good, come stand on my right side", then asks Obama what he thinks.
Obama tells him he believes in world peace, equal rights for any religion and that no more wars may be fought.
"Excellent" says God, "Come stand to my left side"
Then he asks Trump what he believes.
Trump answers "I believe you're sitting in my chair!"

Good joke....I always check here every day for new posts etc....
I love my Piggy but might take her off the road for winter as normal....will just keep the DT on the road

You ride through winter?
My hat off, also did that many years ago, on my S2 triple Kwacker.
Upon arrival "Aren't you getting cold?"
Me "No way, that's for sissies! But, help me get off my bike please? I can't bend any limbs"
Mind, I'd do it again, were good times

Happy Friday,
mainly riding my Husabang at the moment, well until the inevitable.
The XR will be back out again then.
The electric start is great (when it works) The Husabang also suffers carb icing, what a pain in the arse that is.

Amazed to get both the DT and the XR insured tonight for £105...that's fully comp, protected no claims bonus and zero voluntary excess so cheap I must be old

I'm riding my husky 701 at the mo, awesome bike it is - the power is addictive!
Next year I'll finally have time to start reassembling my piggie the way I want it, and then I can do the trips with it I want to do.... which I'll not do on the 701, too remote and the Swede isn't reliable enough

Who do you use Mauser? I've just been quoted £197, up from £138, with Bennetts!!

Post Office Money....they use Devitts. Bikes used for social only, £2000 for DT and £3000 down for the value and 1000 miles on each..... Kept in locked garage at home address

Thanks Mauser,

I've just renewed through the Post Office for £79.

Bennetts wanted £197 for exactly the same cover! I always shop around every year so they must have been the cheapest last year, (although the PO don't show up on the comparison sites). Don't know why the massive price hike!

Savings can go towards next years trip.

That's a good price...funny thing is that the DT part of the policy is £19.99, the XR was about £40 the rest admin fees. End of the day your not going to write off the XR unless someone drives over it, it won't catch fire and I don't leave mine unattended so she won't get nicked.....I think all insurance companies are the same you might as well get the cheapest

Last "friday" (actually Saturday) I test rode one of these, and liked it. So need to explain to Bertha (my XRR) why shes going to be sharing the garage with "it"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AJP_Motos

I had to Google them....sorry

I like it as it's what I think the the XRR could have become.

I think the power delivery is very similar to the XR with the exception that it's like other fuel injected bikes that I've ridden in that when going from no throttle to a small opening it's a bit snatchy. But that's probably because I've only owned carburetted bikes.

Bertha might been looking for a new home soon   as this "followed" me home today

At a world brewing convention in the States, the CEOs of various brewing organizations retire to the bar at the end of the day.
Bruce, CEO of Fosters, shouts to the barman: "In Australia , we make the best bloody beer in the world, so pour me a Fosters, mate."

Bob, CEO of Budweiser, calls out next: "In the States, we brew the king of them all - gimme a Bud."

Hans steps up next: "In Germany ve invented beer. Give me un Helles, ze REAL King of beers."

Jan, chief executive of Grolsch, follows by stating that Grolsch is the ultimate beer and asks for one with two fingers of foam on top.

Norman, chairman of SAB, is next: "Barman, give me a diet Coke with ice and lemon please."

The other four stare at him in stunned silence, then Bruce asks: "Aren ' t you going to have a Castle, Norm?"

Norman replies "Well, if you guys aren ' t drinking beer, then neither am I."
