Weekend plans

Post by Kwacky »

Anyone up to anything?

Home working today. I've got a sports massage this evening then probably hit the pub.

Tomorrow wifey is at work. We've got a gas fitter coming to replace a pipe so the house will be a mess. Out in the evening with Beermonster for a gig and a few jars.

Sunday recovering, doing the work I should have done on Friday and recovering whilst trying to look excited about father's Day.

Saturday, paying the annual fee for the caravan storage. Then mixing the time between the kids and chores.

Sunday, I'm marshalling at one of the local trail races so that takes most of the day. Will try and get the bike out from under the cover as I want to tweak the settings for the quick shifter. It's killing the throttle blips on downshifting.

Saturday is very whether dependent but football with my boy in the morning and if dry the afternoon is a family bike ride or watch the local cricket team whilst consuming a few jars.

Sunday is nice breakfast, open presents, watch moto3, watch moto2, watch motogp and then out for a nice family meal at a local restaurant whilst enjoying my wife and kids company all day with nothing to do but get fat and drunk.

If the weather is ok on Saturday were going to walk up to Three Shires Head for a swim in the river.

Sunday is a fathers day lie in and then Skiing in Manchester. I've booked a taster session for the kids to assess which ones I'm going to get adopted.

Really need my skiing holidays back, it's been over 7 years now.

Gotta spend the weekend preparing for going on Holiday on Tuesday, all a bit chaotic as also got new internet being installed this afternoon and Abbie only got back from a work trip to Canada this morning
Remember: If in Doubt use Full Throttle, It may not make the situation any better, But it will end the suspense...

Is it a QS and autoblipper combined Jon or just a QS?

Just a QS. It does work going down the box, but with the amount of engine braking it's not good. TBH I enjoy throttle blipping the old fashioned way, while a blipper is good it takes away the reward of a perfect gear change.

Confused I thought QS only went up the box.

A combined QS and auto blipper is needed to go both up and down the box.

Which model you got pal? Maybe it's not meant to blip down the box.

I know what u mean about the joy of getting it right yourself though. I only use mine when really pressing on.
