ABW are having their first Chilli day of 2018 on Saturday 24th Feb.

Details here Adventure Bike Warehouse

Basically you get a free bowl of chilli and get to meet a few dozen like minded bikers. I have been a couple of times and it’s ok. It’s not the best of ride-outs for me - motorway then city - so if the weather is shite I won’t bother but otherwise will get there late morning or lunchish time.

It would be a good opportunity to stay in touch with the BT membership. Hopefully see a few of you there.

Well you didn’t miss much. The chilli was good and hot and the coffee is free but otherwise just a load of guys standing around looking each other’s bikes and talking bollocks. The sun was warm and in a sheltered spot I actually got too hot.[emoji41]. But, I only lasted an hour before I got bored and went home.

I think one or more of the coils on my bike is going iffy as on the way home I got a very lumpy tickover and a general feeling of running quite right. The coils are bloody expensive but have bid on some used ones on eBay.

I think the older you get ,you begin to realise you've actually done enough standing around talking bollox (I've certainly done my share).

At the London Bike show last week. Same talk going on same people sitting on fabulous bikes, holding the bars and pointing at the shit bits they would have designed differently !
Same stands selling amazing bargains in XXXXS & XXXXL sizes only. I went specifically to see the new Niken (It was enclosed on a plinth, no trying for size) & the new Guzzi V85 (the only two new bikes I aspire to)........not even there.

Every time I go I say never again..... Never f*****g learn ! :oldman:

I am hoping the problem with the bike is actually the stick coils as I just made a "best offer" on a set of 4 of £100 that has been accepted. Whatever, they will be on their way on Monday, along with a service kit from Motorworks. I know what I will be doing while its snowing next week :)
