Playing with an IP security camera I was given off on of the village facebook sites. It's pretty decent, doesn't record video but does have a motion sensor and takes pretty decent stills. The images are currently uploaded to my server via ftp and emailed to me whenever a motion trigger happens.

Extra bit of security for the VFR out the front of the house.

Apart from that I've been checking the insurance and breakdown for Euro cover, getting the caravan some new tyres and a battery, and finally taking the cage to see if they can work out the fault with the aircon.

Went for a blast on the bike. Was going to take the Ducati but as it looked like possible rain, I went on the Trumpet as it's easier to carry a tail pack and water proofs on the little triple.

For a base model, supposedly ordinary bike it's a lot of fun. I wasn't feeling it today and it was cold too so I came home after 90miles.

On a positive note, I did get to briefly test some suspension changes I had made and the bike now holds a line better on corner exit with less desire to understeer. I think I've got it to a good base set up now. It's not as good as its Italian stablemate by quite some distance but she is still a good handler if a little compromised in a few areas.

Drinking in the afternoon to calm my shot to pieces nerves as fed up of having builders, noise, mess and hassle in my house on the very few days off I have (devil) . Been 4 days this week alone and must be over 50 in total since I moved in now easily. They may as well be noisey, untidy basta$d live in residents the fooking c*ntards (swear)

Some of the best race photography I’ve ever seen was in Motorcycle Racer, although I haven’t had a subscription with them for a little while.
