The Fat Man's a-coming

It's nearly that time of year again for the Fat Man to make an appearance, which is a good thing as it's finally starting to feel like Bah Humbug weather at last.

This past week it's been, what's the word Bodgers looking for......bracing. It's been in the 30s in the morning and getting up into the 50-60s in the afternoon.

Today it's only 51F but with the wind a blowing it's feeling a mite bit cooler than that....like....well...winter time!

So with that, the Fat Man will be making his rounds dropping off prezzies to all the little sprogs as well as us bigger ones.

Bodgers been goodish this year and has gotten a few of his prezzies already such as a sprocket puller, clutch hub compressor, a fork seal tool, steel tank for the wee Starfire and awaiting a few other material thingies such as front brake shoes, motor mounting bolts, a gear cluster and a cable oiler .

But the best one of all so far bar none is a new lass. Yes that's right, Bodger has a new lass and is a courtin'.

Yep, Bodger has met himself a lovely lass who in some ways is like the ol' Bodger except for one tiny, wee little thing which is the lass dinnae like motorcycles as she feels they're dangerous. Other than that she's a bonnie gal.

More later about the Fat man and what he brought Bodger.

  1. Happy courtin' Bodger ! The feeling that motorcycles are dangerous can be overcome by trust in the pilot ;-)

  2. Cheers SFB.

    What you say aboot trust is quite true, but will have to respect her thoughts on it and let her decide if and when she may be ready to give it a go. No forcing the issue.

    Think it stems from a small prang on a mini bike plus her ex non-significant other acting the fool on one.

    But if she'll tolerate me having and playing with 'em, then it's still good and I still make out; have the bikes and have the lass:)

  3. Nice one Bodger, hopefully she'll see that the old bikes are more fun and a little more safe than sports bikes etc, as SFB says, enjoy yer courtin'!
