Stop hitting things ?

Not guilty y'honour!
That was storm damage
Time before that was a van hire in Scotland who had no idea of how far THEIR mirror stuck out (I was stationary)
First time was how I bought it!

Bought a pair of jeans from M&S.

Been into town and parted with quite a bit of Turkish Lira. Paid for my Residency Permit - 3120 TL and got a new screen on my mobile phone - 2000 TL (my own fault, I didn't realise that the screen would come off worse when interacting with my fat arse) and 300 TL to get a fridge/coolbox electrics repaired (works fine on 12V but didn't work on 220V and I failed to find the fault).

So 5400 TL just gone but at 22.3 TL/£ not really that painful.

Had to wait for the bloody phone to be repaired though. There's not much to do in Marmaris to kill the time except drink tea. I drank a lot of tea.

Kicked the Bonneville into life.

I didn't wake up this morning thinking I'd do that, mostly cause it was pissing it down

This afternoon though the sun was out, so I thought I'd drag her out and see if anything else needs adding to my mental list of jobs (every classic owner has one of course). She seems in pretty decent order actually.

Thought I might as well give her a prod, after a few kicks we were away. As always i was taken aback by the explosion of noise

Did a cheeky 20 miles without issue just to see how it went Still way faster than any 54 year old bike with cable operated brakes has any right to be. Still the biggest grin machine I've owned.

First ever cote de beouf tonight!! Went out with a mate thinking, nice simple meal. But nooo. The French was horrified that I'd never had that much beef in one meal (have lived here 5.5 years and its my 10th winter, first Cote de Beouf!!) and also excited that this particular restaurant cooks said beef on an open fire!!










Bloody hell that was good!! Had a fab evening of chat in French and English, a LOT of laughs (especially when I described me walking around trying to get the pronunciation of 'toute' correct As in 'a toute' - it's ooooo, not u! One of a few sounds I am really struggling with!! LOL So I normally say 'a plus' now

[Mr. Dazzle]

That is my Christmas meat option on the years when it's just the three of us...I'm the only meat eater!

That cut (or slight variations) goes by a few names, but Cote du Boeuf is my fave. Makes you sound less like someone who drives a pick up truck.

[Greenman]

done about 16 pints today!

[ZRX61]

Dropped by the vinyl wrap place about covering (part of) the front fender on the ZX.
Stopped off the buy winning lottery tickets on the way home.
Later:
WallyWorld for food & some epoxy filler for the divot in the ZX11 fender
Wiped fender down with IPA to get it clean for epoxy tomorrow, damage looks must less severe when clean. Plan for now is epoxy, sand it, black Sharpie.

Got fleeced in New York! God it’s expensive here, $10-12 for a beer! $5 for a bottle of water! Having an amazing time though. Just vinushed off some 14 hour smoked brisket in Virgil’s and then in O’Donoghues for an over priced nightcap.

On English tome still so wide awake now but enjoying the night view…

A coat of paint would brighten the place up and make you happier.

4 of us have gone to the NW200 for 10 days every year since 2001 from Cornwall. The oldest is 85 this year and has gone on his R1/Busa/RSV Mille/Striple/GSXR 1000 over the years, until Covid, and then the death of his wife last year. This year was supposed to be back on track, but he has asbestosis and is now really struggling. The idea this time was for him to go as my pillion - he knew he wasn’t strong enough to ride his own bike to Birkenhead for the ferry - so today, in all that horrendous weather, we had arranged to do a trial run. If he could cope, it might work. Putting on his waterproofs - sit for a while to get his breath back. Boots - ditto. Helmet and gloves - yep. We went out to the bike; he managed, just, to get on, and sat leaning on the tank, gasping. “No good, John?” “ Nope, no good, Dave.” We’ll really miss him in Ireland - great company, can talk bollocks for hours, like the rest of us, far more experienced re bikes than we are - e.g. 2 weeks ago he bought a very nice Monster 900 which he knows he’ll never be able to ride, and he’s going to dismantle and restore it - he just loves bikes. He’s just a really good part of the trip.

Very sad, after 22 years.

You seen his location. It would take more than a pot of fucking paint.
