The whatcha doin this weekend thread

I'm going to the pub tonight, I say this every weekend and never quite get there. So tonight I am going.

Tomorrow is family day, not sure what we're doing though.

Sunday will be spent at donnington.

Phoning the mot bods in the morning to see if they've got a spare slot for tomorrow as I finally got the bike back together today. Saturday night we're off out to dinner with friends at a local foodie pub, so stomach will be protesting during juniors rugby trading on Sunday am. Out for a ride Sunday pm if the mot is a goer for tomoz. :)

Last night I spent it with a few ciders in the garage washing the bike followed by a kebab and demolition man,
Today involves ringing Bt and losing my rag with them as they still havnt sorted my internet or tv
Sunday involves sulking because of Bt and the fact I am missing the Gp and Superbikes

On deaths door with Man flu, but got to brave the outside to take my wedding ring back as it doesn't fit.

Then need to burn some music for the wedding ceremony.

As none of you will be there I can let out the secret that I will have music from star wars, harry potter and lord of the rings!!! Lol I am such a geek.

We walk back down the isle to this

What you need my friend, is some good bracing fresh air. (nod)

What am I doing.? I'm ***ing "working" as ***ing usual.
That means that I am not:
Riding out on my bike.
Doing a trackday.
Chilling at home.
Going to Donny to watch some proper riders.

I'm not bitter you understand.
Well, not much. (envy)

Nice bike and has phenomenal grunt. More so even than the Multi. Easy to ride though in Sport mode the throttle is very On/Off.

It can certainly be hustled down the lanes and is easy to throw about.

My only gripes were the big fat tyre makes the bike want to sit up if you take pressure off the bars and the seating position doesn't really suit me. I like my back to be extended either straight or bent in sportsbike mode. This was neither.
