Had a cracking day on Sunday, the monthly RAT run with the Triumph boys, does make me laugh after all the years I am back on a Triumph with them. Anyway 200 miles ish, and the destinations were airfields. First stop was Old Sarum where we watched some sky divers jumping ...

... in 35°c and the Continental RA4s never missed a line, I set personal lean angle record's both ways, excellent fun. https://i.imgur.com/ieEsU05.jpg After the now usual lunchtime hotel search and booking we found the IBIS in Thonon les bains, basic but clean and the restaurant next door was pretty ...

Day 2 Rue Pablo Picasso - Contrexeville with a peak of 36°c 385Km and some very sunny weather through the flat Northern French countryside, after day 1 we were avoiding the autoroutes and stopping every hour for drinks, either at a cafe or just somewhere with shade, my fridge was very useful ...

6 hours of surgery no movement for 6 weeks to heal shoulder
Might need another op in 4-6 months but trying to focus on healing
Hospital was heaving overcrowded and really struggling, no beds people in chairs after operations
Thank you to all the staff for being so dedicated to helping others

After just over 2 months it was obvious that the actual job was very far removed from the advertised role. That combined with the 3 days in London was both shit and expensive. I quit on Tuesday. Back to looking for contracts. ...

... the water proof qualities are much reduced yeah I'm not to fussed about the water proof aspect, as long as they handle a light sprinkle, just after something that will handle below 15 deg with the grip heaters on. These are touted as water resistant rather than waterproof anyways. We do get ...

... Alpinestar SP-2's that I use when it's not roasting hot have fallen apart (think I got close to 8 yrs, was wearing them when i crashed the ZX10R) After having the Five RFX summer gloves for a while now, I've decided to give some mid season Fives a go. So just bought these https://motoheaven.com.au/collections/waterproof-gloves/products/five-tfx-2-waterproof-motorcycle-gloves-black-grey?variant=32611834593354 ...

After 10 hours the battery tested at 33% so I think setting that as the limit should be okay, the fridge has a battery protection feature so won't flatten the battery so far that it causes damage. This is mostly for lunch ...

First fridge test after leaving it on it's battery for 10 hours and the smaller gauge wire which I found was not good, with the bike running it was getting hot so I pulled the fuse and stuck the multimeter in there to measure the Amps, ...

Diesel prices cut after threats of an investigation.

No, not just BREXIT, we've had an ageing population and a skills shortage for many years. Sadly the government (including the previous Labour government to some degree) has managed to convince a majority of voters that Mohamed the brain surgeon is after their job!

Today I washed all the dead bugs off it after yesterday's 310 mile and 13 hour ride to the lakes and North Yorkshire, it's splat time of year. We found a nice place for lunch in the middle of no signal nowhere. Screenshot_2023-05-21-13-49-09-17_3d9111e2d3171bf4882369f490c087b4.jpg ...

... through) & then carried on my merry way. One of them made a half decent attempt to follow me, but even he didn't come back into my rearview after a nice tight corner. On a similar vein, I came across a little bikeshow today, "The Distinguished Gentlemans Ride". Around 100+ bikes ...

I’ve got the F3 interphone, it’s only for rider/pillon comms and ph/sat nav connection. It works really well below 60 mph, after that it struggles due to increase helmet wind noise.

... MUX wouldn’t start. Scan gauge reported battery at 11.2 Volts. Put the trickle charger on for 5 mins and got enough to kick it into gear, just. So after drop off, bought a new battery. Was on the OEM battery still and it’s a 2019 build, so not done too bad. Also it sits dormant for nearly 4 week’s ...
