Morning all. Had my 14b for a while now and love pretty much everything about it. It was built as a one off so has a few non standard parts. Just waiting to be off work at the same time as the good weather so I get out on her. It's been a bit hit and miss in my neck of the woods. Stay safe all

Thanks Clarky.
Yes, Ohlins front and rear plus a few other goodies. All created for the NEC. The bike is named Project 14b.

I take it you don't get out on yours as often as you'd like buddy.

What with work, the Family, weather etc, I don't get out as often as I'd like. The bikes an expensive ornament most of the time.

Looks lovely that, love the forks

the perfectionist in me would have to get the calipers vapour blasted and clear anodised so they matched though.

Welcome stu can’t beat a bit of bling.

Welcome to the forum mate. Good bunch of lads and at least one girl on here.

Nice looking bike, I'm a bit of a perfectionist myself with my bikes

Your right mate i don't

the Job i've had for the last 15 years i have to use a company van so no commuting , before the wife moved it was 140 miles to hers but now i don't do that , the wife is a biker too in fact she's had her licence 15 years longer than i've had mine and she's had more bikes

but due to ill health and resulting mental heath problems ( sure she was mental before hand , in fact i know she was

) she's not wanted to go out on her bike and i don't like leaving her behind , the fact that she's a biker was a big reason we got together . Oh and we also got a dog 2 years ago and we don't like leaving the bugger on his own for long

The wifes mental state and health is better and she's feeling more like going out so we'll see

It's sometimes hard finding the motivation at times and as you say being at work all week it seems unfair on the family just to bugger off out for the weekend .
We have a small get together around june time which is nice

Jompy I know you’ve not been riding for all the right reasons as I did when the kids came along but it would do you good mentally to go for a short spin every know and then, and I’m sure you coming back refreshed and full of smiles would rub off on Jen.

Mate i know what you mean and in the past i have gone out but since the hysterectomy and breast cancer it just doesn't feel right

Posted: **Wed Mar 13, 2019 6:22 pm**

Welcome in Stu and love the bike.
Hope you enjoy the forum and the wittering that ensues!

Jompy you need to be happy to be supportive.
Use the "I must keep it full of fuel" excuse. I do, only I use the garage the other side of Loomies so by the time I'm back it's half empty again.

I know what you mean you feel guilty. I do every time I go out now and I’ve not got a Jen. But it might help her you can guarantee she feels guilty about you not riding cos she’s a biker and understands the need.

Hope everything gets better for you buddy and you and your ladycan get out when the weather picks up. Would probably do you both good.

Mental health is such a slow process , 1 step forward and 2 backwards then a jump forward
