I bet Kwacky takes the long way home.

We'll have to sort out a ride out that way

Yeah, my mind went straight to the gutter at this point, but obviously way off the mark. Never mind, the plonk sounds nice too

... revs up to the 500 mile service. Nipping in and out of traffic is no problem at those revs as you've got torque to play with. But on the motorway it seemed happier cruising at slightly higher revs. Unfortunately the factory setting for the rev warning lights is at 5,000 so my dash as lit up ...

The Alpinestars have arrived.

Usual A* standard.

They are more touring than the Five gloves both in appearance and protection, with less armour than the Fives which were effectively a waterproof race glove.

I'll try them out on the way home.

... white. Fly screen, rear seat cowl, side pods, side crash protection, tail tidy, arrow can and some other little bits and pieces all thrown in for way below the RRP of £8,200. There's about £1,300 worth of bling on there.

Late start this morning as there's something i need to collect on the way into work.

... to get a sportier tyre as it gets closer to nice weather though, and then when worn out go back to a touring tyre. Dunlop's Sportsmart was always my tyre of choice. You can only get the Sportsmart2 these days and I never actually used it but that would be the tyre I'd be trying next. Either ...

I have a busy day of squeezing my uni work into what little spare time I get. That and hating the design work I'm doing at the minute. I get part way through something then realise it doesn't work so change the design. Do that a few times then revisit the paper and pen method until I get it right ...

... of rest. Make sure you've not got a throat infection as well as that can cause ear issues. The 3 hours of digging this morning is not the best way to fix this? (blush) I've got some antibiotics for my ears that are in my 'fix everything' first aid kit i bought for when i was doing the Himalayas ...

Rather disconcerting tbh. You do take your senses for granted.

Just remember to always stand on the left side of your missus then

I know - its the wrong way round in the car

... spirit level. It's a proper horizontal surface. If she did a handstand you could balance a ball on it and it wouldn't move, there's no tilt either way.

The reason for the questions is that I was watching a video about Steroids VS Natural and the main thing I picked up was the way they train... Steroid users recommend high reps and to get the pump going, 20-40 reps. They said they do that because their bodies can recover way faster than ...

... isn't really high enough to **** you up its not too bad. Having said that, on the final sets I can find myself trying to get the reps out of the way quicker because I know I won't make 20 if I go slower. Form doesn't seem to suffer, but timing might.

I missed Homeland last night. I'll catch up over the weekend.

I started to watch Hacksaw Ridge as I had the house to myself but everyone came home half way through it. I'll finish that off tomorrow.

I did get chance to watch the latest Star Wars Rebels.

sounds like a good way forward,.

Good customer service from Kawasaki. No wonder Sykes and Rea are always smiling.

Some internet show about Hitler's Eagle's Nest.

The locals' loyalties are still in evidence....it's either-

A....The Americans never made it all the way up there.

Or....

B....They did, and they fcuked the place all up.

Can't have it both ways, people.

... School boy error, I set my rear sets up while wearing trainers! Just for the record I don't hate all cyclists, just the ones that go the wrong way down a one way single track road with blind corners. Tosssers!

Thank God for small mercies.
