We worked very hard today…I’m exhausted…!!
Fantastic weather in Germany atm.
Of course that also means my cycling zombie hands are back in full force:
OMG, I went to start the BBQ up with this lighter my wife bought in the bargain bin for $1.50 and I can’t stop watching it spool up!

Is this how they make lighters these days? I’m holding it horizontal!
It’s the beard. I shaved my face and people thought I was 10 years younger… Slight stubble is what the ladies love though so keep that! ![]()
Monday’s Motorcycle Maintenance Extravaganza. Only took this pic when she was almost back together but the seat and tank had to go off so I could inspect the fuel filter and replace the petcock(3 way fuel valve, on/off/reserve). The internal rubber blocking mechanism had given way so it was slowly dripping fuel when it was in use. Next up on the list is the cam chain tensioner. It has a distinct knock between 2000 and 3000 RPM when the engine is not doing a lot. The internal spring has a habit of giving way. Although advice has it that I should also replace the cam chain, not too fond of that since I have to remove all the side fairing and the engine cover plate on the right side.

Sorry for the potato quality, I had made this one with FB messenger…
I love Hondas. Any version. CBs, CBRs, CRs, XLs, XRs. They are all good. The only two wheeled one that I own now is a frame up resto-mod that I did a few years ago of a '71 Honda MiniTrial (Z50). Took me almost a year! Looking at an Africa Twin.

I had a CB 175 and loved it ![]()
Lol ‘Daggers in the forum’ might not apply to this particular one but I can think of plenty fora where that would be a subtle dig lol.
It’s like summer here in .nl. And what do I get? puking, crying, non-sleeping children to contend with.
Perfect weather to enjoy coffee and books in the park! ![]()

I bet he owes the MOD less than his dad.
