      Thank you very much Neil. Started on Monday and all good so far. Twinks hasn’t had an episode for a couple of weeks now, so 🤞🏼

    Something about Pablo I miss, infact it make me feel younger again seeing him again, just like the ole days.
    Thoughts are with twinks, it's just dreadful, almost like being drunk and hungover.
    Get well soon Twinks❤️

      Pablo is a cracking little bike. I’m a little reluctant to sell him but the garage space will be welcome.
      Thanks ER. Yes it’s just like that, horrid. And can happen anytime any place, which has been very awkward for her on a couple of occasions 🫤
      Thank you mate 👍🏼

    That was a lovely ride for sure. Much happiness for the new, old job. A proper job you might say.
    Oh good luck with the difficulty Twinks. I thought i had it once as very rarely, I would get very dizzy for a day or two and as you know, the nausea is the worst. It happened so rarely and I could walk about, holding onto things but was completely OK sitting still. It was something to do with crystals in my inner ear, displacing. The doctor just moves my head about and I can do that at home. I hope you get some relief quickly as it is deeply unpleasant and a terrible waste of time. 💖🤞

    • @Saddlebags73
      @Saddlebags73  День тому +1

      Proper job indeed 🤣 Thanks Lily.
      Ah yes, Twinks had tests to see if it was the crystals in the inner ear. Apparently not. Tiz flippin’ horrid though. As a rule she just goes about her business and tries to not let it affect her life, but she’s been caught out in awkward situations. She hasn’t had a spell for a couple of weeks, so 🤞🏼
      Oh and yes, a waste of time. She spent a whole Saturday lying on the bed 😢
      Cheers Lily, much love 😊

    Hi Jeff, up to august this year motorcycles didn’t have CT’s in France (MOT) all you had to pay to use a bike on the road here was insurance, my RE is only 2 years old so it’s another 2 years be for its first CT but I had to get my Vespa Sorted in august passed with flying colours 13 years old 😊 €70 and it lasts 3 years, not yearly like the uk, so not much of a hardship, I’m retired 6 years now the word work is bowel loosening 😂😂😂😂 hope twinks see some improvement soon, ….. Pete 🇫🇷

    • @Saddlebags73
      @Saddlebags73  2 дні тому +1

      Hey Pete. How interesting 🤔 In Ireland we were told that there’s no MOT or equivalent. You are just expected to keep your bike well maintained and if anything should happen due to poor maintenance you could be in trouble.
      Haha, work sucks but it keeps me in bikes 😎
      Many thanks my friend 👍🏼

    A welder and fabricator, eh! Well we all know where to come if we have any mishaps with our bikes.
    Good that your three bikes all whizzed through their MoT's. Luckily my two are exempt from MoT's and vehicle/road tax.

      Haha, probably best not to have any mishaps, but if you do I’d like to be able to help.
      A lot to be said for older bikes.

      Well what a coincidence. When I recorded this I had just finished filming the next Bikes and Backdrops, which kicks off with your photo, and along the way I stop at Trethevy Quoit. I think on arriving at St Cleer I said “where the hell am I?” 🤣

      Brilliant little bike that ER5. I was actually going to keep it and use it for work over the winter. But the space in the garage will be useful, and I have the Himmy.
      What do you need welded? I have a little TIG set at home. Once the bike has gone I can have a sort out which will enable me to actually get to it 🤦🏻‍♂️

    Aw no; Mania Disease is awful. A couple of close friends have it. It is controllable; but (isn't there always a but) the damn thing does like to remind you it is there from time to time. Please tell Twinks, it gets better.
    Done many thousands of happy miles on ER5's. Our training scheme used them when I was a bike instructor; great bike, I loved riding them. Not many about now, especially not a good as Pablow.
    Congrats on the clean sheets. I hate MOT time. Always such a relief when they pass.
    Thinking of Twinx; ride safe my friend.

      Hi Neil. Urgh it’s horrible, anything that makes you sick. Thankfully she hasn’t had a nasty spell for a couple of weeks now, so 🤞🏼 for more of that.
      Ah yes the ER5’s are brilliant little bikes. I actually fixed it up to keep and was going to commute on it through the winter. But the lad was quite taken with it and the garage space will be handy. Rolled him out for the last time this morning and said adios 👋🏼
      Many thanks my friend. Take care up there.

      So glad Twinx has some respite. Give her a chance to pull herself together and hopefully recover a little bit.
      It’s always sad seeing your bike ride away with a new owner. Sounds to me like she is going to a good home.
      Mind how you go bud.

    Thanks for the update Jeff. Two out of three ain't bad ( the bike health situation ! ).
    I hope that the new job is going well and it's probably a fair bit safer than the tyre fitting with such huge tyres, I would imagine ! 😱
    I had something similar to what Twinks is experiencing ( and no, it didn't involve too much alcohol the day before, although of course I've experienced that as well 😜) although in my case it turned out to be an inflammation in one inner ear which put everything totally out of whack for an entire week. All I could do was lie in bed with my eyes shut, otherwise I'd start throwing up all over the place. So I can sympathise with what Twinks is going through and hopefully it won't trouble her for too long.
    Take care you two, love from Spain.

      Thanks Garry, much love as always to you and Ruby from Twinks and me.
      Oh! Squirrels! The funniest thing happened. I was filming your section of the latest Bikes and Backdrops video and as I was talking about you a squirrel ran out and up the road in front of me. Perfect, I thought. Then I realised I hadn’t switched the camera on 🤦🏻‍♂️ Story of my life 🤣

    Sorry to hear about Twinks, is there any treatment for this condition? As to the old job I understand what happened to you as something very similar happened to me, changed my role and location so as I was near retirement I told them to stuff it!. Isn't it funny that anything with ER in the title causes trouble!

    • @Saddlebags73
      @Saddlebags73  2 дні тому

      Well she’s been told if it is Menieres the only treatment is tablets, of which possible side effects are dizziness and nausea 🤷🏻‍♂️ She tried them and unfortunately they made her ill.
      Yes I very nearly walked away when I learnt of the whole work situation. I decided to give it a shot, but it wasn’t for me in the end. ER has a lot to answer for 🤣
