Washed 2 weeks of bugs, tar and road grime off the bike and went over it twice first with Muc-off speed polish then again with quick detailer... I even washed the panniers. Then thoroughly cleaned and lubed the chain. Off to the dealer tomorrow to get a quote for a new key as the ...

Might have to pop up with the camera if you go again before the Greensands crew open up again. I've been missing the MX photography.

Yes it’s fell off again though
Decided to take the bike to view a house and the heavens opened on he way home flash floods everywhere

Clock up 200 miles on Sunday riding down to the coast via some nice roads (never been on before) through the New Forest. The only time I dont get ants in my pants when riding at 20 mph and 30 mph ha ha ha..... Nice views.
Again more time on the Street was enjoyable.

I did a Thai style chilli chicken. It smelled delicious but there wasn't much flavour.

I won't be doing that again.

Went to the Forest of Dean for some off-piste mountain biking.

On the way home, I regretted leaving as early as I did so stopped by my local woods and went mountain biking again!

Drove back from a camping trip with some chums, surprisingly little traffic, then TT practice this afternoon. So nice to see it again.

Happy days. Inflation down but not by much and not as much as predicted.

Food inflation is running at about 19%

Mortgage rates are expected to go up again.

Gas prices are expected to be reduced but not by much and no changes to standing charges.

This is pure capitalism, nothing more.

Made a tail tidy to clear the big underseat cans
Somehow broke my rear indicators
Really gagging to ride this again

I will add, today has been a particularly awful day so maybe tomorrow when I read my above comment again I may think it isn't so bad. We shall see.

... overtaking them A mate of mine overtook one on the Meriden mile years ago. When they got to the island the Harley man said "don't do that again" and punched him through the gap in his helmet. Pr1ck if sombody did that to me they would end up in a ditch covered in chrome
