The missus is out so a bit of a lads tech day.

Looking at big tellys, Wi-Fi controlled lighting, and bedroom furniture in John Lewis and than off to Nandos or similar for tea.

Then TV and beer later on

More decorating.

Cleaning, washing, taking the dog out and soon off to Harvester for my partners dads birthday meal. Other than that been chilling most the day. The cold is getting old now!!

I had a relaxing day today then went up to Leeds to meet a couple of friends to go looking at bikes ( we went to Ritebike and Jemspeed) , nobody bought anything and we went back to Sergio's for coffee and cake, almost got him convinced that he needs to let his trusty Blackbird tackle more touring oriented duties and get a suitable Italian, he is fancying an Aprilia RSV1000 twin. Gaz just likes unusual things, he was really taken by a bright orange Can-Am spider...

We ended up chatting BS and bikes for over 3 hours and we decided that the MT-10 is "My Bike" as in the perfect fit for me. I have never been so relaxed and confident on any bike and it really shows in my riding, apparently. I know that I love it end have no plans to replace it, a companion bike would be nice though... A Sprint 1050 ST would be worth a test ride.

Is that Jemspeed place any good? I've seen them advertisd loads.

It is good and they have a wide selection from classic 2 smokes to the latest superbikes. even an onsite barber and coffee shop which were both closed sadly.

Washed the wife's car and fitted the new battery to mine.

that dam snow makes a right mess of cars. Took me 2 hours to clean the car.

Place is good to have a look have somthing to eat and chill but watch out buying a bike from there. there are some very mixed reviews

They do get some nice bikes

More decorating and sorting the house out. Been to the tip a few times and we've started to bag and box stuff up we don't need.

Currently sat down watching crap TV.

Chilling out after overdoing the beer last night and watching crap online, a combination of Netflix and Youtube.

Tomorrow will be a gym session and some maintenance on the bike, clean and grease the calipers and possibly shock linkage and side stand.. Then wash the car.

I bought a Spanish guitar the other day, so I'm doddering around with it playing some classical stuff & watching TV.

First Aid Refresher course. So actually had to battle the sorrows of commuting for the first time in years!

Bit of a lie in ✔
Watched some gas monkey ✔
Gym session ✔
Now sat in the sun next to the canal just relaxing a bit before going home and working on the bike... Rare for good weather to land on my day off this time of year.


EDIT

Fail!!! I loaned my Red Rubber Grease out and it never came back so I have just ordered some on Ebay, one local parts shop had none, another wanted £15+vat for some silver hook brand so a few pence under £10 for a big tub of Castrol is the winner... anyone that wants to borrow some can bring a small pot or Ziploc bag and have a spoonful to keep, generous or what

Another Day were my sons school is closed !! hes nearly had a week off with the snow last week and at 7:30 today sent a text saying heating broke !!!

Get him working in the garage

Swinging spanners is a fine education for any young petrol head

Anniversary meal. Mrs Blade has officially and legally had the pleasure of my company for 19 years now
















God bless the girl she deserves a medal and to be sainted at the very least

Congrats to the both of you.
