I find TMF a bit hard to watch, his upbeat enthusiasm grates on me after a while.  Surely he can't be normal, lol.

I had massive anxiety after I first passed my test, I was reluctant to go out at all unless I was with a mate.  I forced myself to just get out and do it and the anxiety got better quite quickly.

TMF drives me nuts, especially with that ‘hey kids’ intro. He is one of the long list of ‘yootoobers’ who get on my tits. Going back to your earlier post, that’s why Loomies is popular, lots of them seem to go there. 

I’ve been riding for 30 plus years and still get anxious sometimes before rides. I’m usually ok after a few minutes. I’m a socially anxious person anyway so things like big bike meets or large group rides freak me out. 

@west Nice bike, welcome back! 

Yes , the 'hey kids' is an annoyance ........seen him on the road .........rides like a pussy

That reminds me, while I was at Loomies yesterday I saw this modded R1200S.  You don't see many because they were only made for about 18 months or so, but this was immaculate and somebody has spent some serious money turning it into a super naked.

I don't really do modified bikes but this was nicely done.

Stunning bike !

I thought R Nine T ar first, but paralever front etc

^ oddly enough, a quick Google returned this page, look familiar?

The tank is from a R Nine T which is why it has that 'look ' to it

Just been brought home by SOS Recovery .........electrical issue ..............30 miles from home at 10.30 last night
Couldn't get it recovered last night ...had to beg somebody to leave it on their drive and go back to meet recovery this morning.

Corvus

^ not good, what bike was it @Dominic ?

Dominic

Harley.................'nuff said !

Kittyfrisk

@Dominic  was this the Superduke?
Not a good thing to hear about on a non 1970's Italian bike 

Dominic

No but typical Harley ......battery defective , even trying jump start , power-pack etc couldn't get more than 8.2 volts 
Starter motor was trying but it's a huge amount of compression in an 1800 V twin
