Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

Finished painting the garage floor,did some weights ,started painting outside of the house

Went to bank opened a joint account with the missus and also rang up a company about a package that I still have not received. They investigated it and turns out it has been lost in the post!! The company are sending out a new package tracked!! Hopefully be here in a few days!

I also emailed another company about some chain cleaner that I am yet to receive and their reply was they were short stocked and just had a delivery a few days ago so they said they have been catching g up with orders and mine will be on its way tomorrow or the next day!

But hopefully will receive these soon now I have pushed for them!!

My last night shift!! Yea-fooking-hoo!!

Was up at 5pm this evening, and next time I see a bed, it'll be my own and I would have been up for 30 hrs. Just have 1 helicopter ride, 2 plane flights and a 1.5 hr taxi ride to get thru' to get there.

Looking into the technical side of 3D printing.

Looking through the jobs list as I'm now under 45 days consultation for redundancy, difficult decision to have to make with nearly 20 years service!

Ouch. Fingers crossed.

Good luck mate, Having experienced this myself just on a year and a half ago (for the second time mind you!) I know it can be a stressful time. 20 yrs of service should see you with a good payout so hopefully take the pressure off somewhat. With luck and perseverance you'll move onto bigger and better things! I know I would've still been at the old job if it wasn't for the redundancy, and I'm now on close to double my old salary.

I have plenty of opportunities internally to go for, the thing I'm struggling with is the large amount of cash being dangled! lol Also have a few leads externally so I will see how they pan out, if the money is right I may just jump ship before it all sinks anyway!

Painting the house again this morning,went out to the Cotswolds on the ktm up fish hill four times
Got my knee and boot sliders down then got drenched on the way home bikes bloody filthy now best get the little,n to wash it

Got a ticket to see Foggy and Whitham at the National Motorcycle Museum tonight.

Bit undecided as whether to go or not but not much to lose other than a gallon of diesel.

I had a good night when I went to the see the show.

Foggy is a bit cardboard-like but Whitham tells a good story.

I don't like foggy. Bit of a prat IMO. Whit is funny though.

Ask Foggy how he met his wife.

Foggy has changed a lot since his best mate died a few years ago. it was a really good night.

Obviously Whitham has most of the funny stories to tell, Foggy tells more of the biking tales.

I asked them why road racers who are fast at the IOM, can't win short circuit races and vice versa.

They were both adamant that if the fastest short circuit guys wanted to be serious at the TT, then they would romp it. Its apparently just a case of putting the hours in to learn the circuit, the rest of the skills needed are all the same. Whitham said the top TT racers earn big money now yet BSB racers generally earn feck all.

Finished painting the house then put another 100 miles on the tacho ,loving this weather & bike
