Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

Hi all,

Sorry I have been around to bless you all with my ramblings recently. I've been busy moving house, and once I'd got that mainly sorted I had to go on a training course. Luckily it was in the same place that I'm working, but unluckily there was around 4-5 hours of homework every night in order to get an A-Level equivalent qualification done in 2 weeks!!!

Coupling that with being thrown into my first lessons with trainees straight afterwards, and the subsequent release of Star Wars: Battlefront on the PS4, means that Tankslap has taken a back seat.

I haven't biked since I moved here, in fact it's still at the mother in laws because I haven't cleared the garage of moving boxes yet!
I have all good intentions of clearing it though, and maybe giving it a big clean during the winter, but I think we're all aware of my good intentions!

Good to see you all again.

Welcome back. I'm hoping for a ps4 and star wars battlefront for chrimbo.

My son is going to be treated to watching his dad play star wars on his PS4 on Christmas day.

Good to hear from you Itchy, trust the house move went through without too much trouble mate.?

Hi Itchy mate. Sounds like you've been a very busy chappy recently. Hope things slow down a bit and catch up with you on some rideouts in 2016

Not too bad really. We told the movers to put the furniture in the house, and everything else in the garage so that we could unpack a box at a time without having to trip over ourselves.

Which is great, but now we're unpacked we still have all the boxes flat-packed right where my bike should be sitting!

Kids have settled well, we've only had a couple of "I want to go home" moments. Missus loves it as mum-in-law is 14 minutes down the road.
And me? Well, compared to Norfolk the Internet is fan-frickin-tastic, I get 10Mb/s on regular broadband, not to mention super quick 4G mobile data, I have a garage, I'm doing a job I've wanted to do since I joined the Air Force and to top it all off, I'm now in a great central position to join Tankslap ride rideouts on a whim(as opposed to 7 weeks notice and riding to the other side of the country)!

So at the moment, we're all happy bunnies!

Win win all around mate!

You move and unpack exactly the same as I do, must be a by product of the transient military life!

Glad you are settling in well mate. Enjoy running dress parades rather than being in them

Nice to see you back Itchy. Glad the job is going well. Hope you grt settled soon and 2016 means you get out on the bike more!

Nice one mate, welcome back....
