think my bike sounded a bit rough - i changed the pilot from a 42 to a 38 the other day cos it struggled to idle


still has a tendancy to cut out on down hills,.

float? ( again? )

should I just spash on a *brand new* carb? which one tho?

Suddenly weaving through the traffic on the way to Langstone Harbour looks extraordinarily tame.

i duuno - quick look at satellite maps - near stansted forest? bet theres some nice loggin roads an what not around there? I'd like to actually 'go' somewhere on my bike - instead of loops around little pockets of woodland

my little track is ok - but no views! just one bit of bamboo forest to another,. odd bit of excitement.. I nearly ran over a pig last week! there are wild boars in the woods.. dunno who was more scared - me or him! came around a corner and there he was ! he scarpered i slammed on brakes to give him a head start!

some figgin massive spiders like to build webs over my track too.. thankful I wore a full face the other week ( often do if I havent been up for a while - cos the foliage can slap u around a bit ) suddenly I had a extreme close up of a massive fooker on my visor.... not scared of spiders but......

also think i need a new mount for my camera the jubilee clip an velcro on helmet gives a load of vibration!

Yes, inviting though those google images may look actually wandering off road into them may be hazardous to your health, like the guy in Hampshire who ended up under a Landrover of the owner of a piece of land he inadvertently strayed on to.
That mistake cost him his life.
The curmudgeonly owners of those vast tracts of land do not invite, nor want scrotes, or otherwise wandering onto their precious estates, get orf my land.
