Thistledown: Cuba

http://mike-thistledown.blogspot.com/2015/07/cuba.html

A window into random stuff that interests me; but mostly motorcycles. Sunday, 12 July 2015. The wife and I had talked about going out to Cuba for years. The occasional travel programme and newspaper article had fuelled our interest, and we were finally convinced when we had word of mouth accounts from colleagues and acquaintances that had actually made the trip. Many bikes (Supa 5s, ETZs) had been tweaked or modified in some way. I can remember a Supa 5 with cast alloy wheels, an ETZ engine and a ver...

Thistledown: Tanker

http://mike-thistledown.blogspot.com/2015/07/tanker.html

A window into random stuff that interests me; but mostly motorcycles. Saturday, 4 July 2015. A friend recently had a lot of problems with his bike misbehaving. It was an intermittent problem which came and went. In the end it turned out to be just a blocked fuel filter. Having cleaned out all of the goop which had accumulated on the old filter the problem went away and hasn’t reappeared, although that might be down to fitting an additional external filter which gets cleaned regularly. So, be warned.

Tuesday, 3 March 2015. Marketing is king. Who better to endorse an 'energy' drink than Valentino Rossi? Unfortunately, this one turned out to be a bit of a disappointment, a rather insipid orange flavoured squash. I’ve featured this Chrysler. PT Cruiser before ( “War Horse”. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

http://mike-thistledown.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

A window into random stuff that interests me; but mostly motorcycles. Tuesday, 28 April 2015. Nothing like a Norton Twin to warm up frozen hands. Sunday, 19 April 2015. Saturday, 18 April 2015. As it was a pleasant morning today, Nicki and I took a wee drive down to Alnwick in Northumberland, ie. over the border to Englandshire. The idea was to pop into Barter Books. For a look around and to have some lunch. On the IOM a good few years ago. They also sell old vinyl records. Friday, 17 April 2015. On Dece...

A window into random stuff that interests me; but mostly motorcycles. Saturday, 27 June 2015. For our recent wedding anniversary my wife got me this Triumph washbag to carry my toiletries when I go away on holiday. Friday, 26 June 2015. Tuesday, 23 June 2015. This is from a club newsletter that I was sent. It’s something that bears thinking about:. If you don’t have/want a top-box it’s a good idea to invest in some luggage elastics, or one of those nets. A minute or two invested in attach...I recently de...
