I don’t have the f650 any more

The r plate is a Honda slr650. Air cooled pretend off-roader. Similar to a dominator with less hp and less fork travel.

The right hand bike is a triumph tiger 800.

Neither are mot’d this year

I keep promising to MOT something to use just never seems to happen .. just renewed my bike ins. - getting silly - have had cover since i was 17 and was not gonna let it lapse, but they really were taking the p*ss this year (as are the bloody house insurers )

Ktm was 500€ this year

630 quid for the Wing, which hasn't been out in years ... almost 1200 quid for the house .. half those figure 3 years ago - inflation, be ****ed I have NEVER made an ins. claim, aside from our cooker this year, which was an extended warranty type of thing - repair or replace - had to be replaced, but I'd contributed nigh on half the cost already, with the 'premiums' annually

Yes it's been a pain both ends splay out from back to front both different angles then the canopy squares off the front wall. 1 x 90' corner in the whole thing lol, plus the roof slopes front to back approx 9'

Today nearly went with a bang, turning into the track to the job having been to quarry and customer was coming out, he got out to have word when this 8 wheeler came bouncing between us howling and smoking, I was still in gear so dumped clutch to try get over and he somehow bounced to a stop between us, could of been grim.

Close call!!

I have to pull across a 50mph A-road from one of my fields , clear both ways and pull out.. and within seconds a Audi right on me - had to be going well over the 50 to catch up as quick as he did!, he does no more than follow me and pull up behind me (I pulled up on wrong side of road to open gates) he must of thought it was a bad idea starting on a tractor as he soon reversed back and drove around me , was hoping to see his face drop when I dumped a trailer load of cow muck on his car bonnet to ruin his day!

Little win on this mornings first job, extracting 2 snapped bolts on my mates jcb micro. Pushed a 5mm through the middle of the first one, started with an 8mm and it wound itself out the back of the hole
Second one was a bit more stubborn, but pretty much the same. Careful clean up with a tap, job done

A rewarding job… horrible when it goes wrong! Drilling out a snapped drill bit isn’t a nice day

interesting bucket on the big CAT

It’ll be for placing rock-armour I’d guess.
