It’s just a roll here, or if it’s with bread the Aussies call a ‘sanga’ (sandwich)

Started removing the pillion pegs from my Blade. Purchased a new exhaust that does not need the upper peg, but sets neatly on the rearset. Yeah well, access to remove, is a pain. Subframe and undertray. gave up after removing the left handside. Tomorrow is another day.

I'm honestly unsure how I feel right now - I get moments of elation, moments of anxiety and then moments of "please hurry the fvck up!".

Right now I'm writing my dissertation and once that's completed, proof read, bound and handed-in I think I can actually start to really look forward to the trip :)

I'm sorry to hear of said, jealousy though ;) I'll be sure to provide many photos and videos of the trip!!

Cleaned the vfr, topped it up with fuel, and flushed through some fresh fluid in the clutch. The stuff that came out looked like a dehydrated piss.

Now going to find the dark visor for tomorrow (happy)

Ha ha, no worries, won't be long until i am back at Almeria, 3 days open pit, 8) happy days

As for your proof reading, if I have learnt anything, get someone else to read it through as well, they don't have to understand it's meaning, just know the spelling of words and punctuation.
Your brain knows what you want to say and will not see the obvious, believe me.

Absolutely agree with you, Frankie (y)

I aim to complete the writing tonight (hopefully done in the next hour) and then look at it with fresh eyes tomorrow. I've asked the fiancé to do the same :)

Oh don't you worry... myself and the guy with the Daytona are picture whores. I won't be taking the DSLR though as I just want to point & shoot and get on with enjoying the trip.

I'll be in the air in 72 hours

Enjoy the trip Cav.

I ride Portimao on the Xbox the other day and it's a very exciting circuit.

Looking forward to a pic and video heavy thread.

I've been getting my eye in on Ride 3.. nice circuit - should suit my bike a bit better than Catalunya.

I did manage a 1.44 on a ZX6R, I think I'll be happy with a 2.04 and see where we go from there :D

4 miles of traffic at a standstill on the M40 and for nothing. No reason what so ever. Muppets.

I'm on the Honda for work duties. I've not used it for a while so I thought I would wheel her out. Another £27 of fuel and then sliced through the traffic with a lovely deep burble to accompany me.
