Forgot European road trips, Alpine Tours or Route 66 mega rides, today I'm doing my all time favourite journey the most epic journey ever.



The journey home after a long length of absence simply brilliant

... I had forgotten the rear tyre is fooked. Next thing on the long shopping list. The good news is I've worked out how to get it through the gate, so after I get back from holiday it's coming home for good and living under a cover until a she gets sorted.

... and the 'scene' a little more. I couldn't understand what people said about how off-roading can improve your on road bike understanding, but now after a day of sliding the back, the front and falling off because of it at times, it does show you how far a bike can go and give you more feel. I ...

... another solid sleep tonight so I'm in some shape to handle them. I was up at the house yesterday arvo and this morning doing the before school/after school minding duties and I tell ya kids know when you are off form. So hard to stay calm when your brain and body are frazzled from lack of sleep. ...

Well got the bike back today from Ducati after having the exhaust valve sorted, when I cleaned it tonight on closer inspection it looks like the whole thing has been replaced, they also said the brake fluid in the rear brake was re done as it ...

... 3 hrs sleep. Waiting to board again, let's hope this one makes it! Tell you what Kiwi you must have a big pair to get back on to another flight after the same fault twice!! Did you get home? I'm guessing you would still be sleeping for a couple of days after not having any sleep for such a long ...

... fookin' platform for 5 weeks! (rock) Well I left the platform and made Darwin. Flew out from Darwin, then the plane I was on had an engine failure after take off so we turned around and landed back in Darwin. So I've just spent and extra 4 hrs there and just on another aircraft to head home. Been ...

... in the United Kingdom (includes Wales, Scotland, etc....) Erm, I might have missed the point here.. But I thought DVLA where the people who looked after everyone's licenses and told you if you where banned (facepalm) (facepalm) (facepalm) Anyone else found any silly questions like that..

5 mile trail run tomorrow night after work, the meet point is only about 5 or 6 miles down the road so I might cycle there too if I get home from work in time. Made it home in time, and it was just over 5 miles... Frickin knackered today, ...

Took the Multi out for an evening ride last night. Not been on any bike for 3 weeks and the Multi even longer. I tweaked the front rebound after the last time i went out and the bike felt a whole lot more stable and much easier going into bends...or maybe it was just me. Either way I had a ...

18 miles on the push bike this afternoon, it's starting to feel quite comfortable now..

Mine where Afam and I didn't get any chain stretch and yes hard anodised.

Felt like riding a wizards sleeve after a few thousand miles

... of the bike. I know it sounds of little benefit but I have reduced the bikes weight by 20 kg and a lot of that was from numerous small savings as after a few big weight savings you have to start looking for the little losses.

Managed to shrug off a hangover and got the boat trailer completely finished. Admin and a glass of wine tonight after dinner.

To be fair to the Russians they had good reason to behave the way they did after all the Germans had done to their civilians. The Japs though are very twisted. Any country that thinks it's OK to have vending machines selling school girls used pants needs to be ...

... nipped into GS, had the new rear popped on, went home, re fitted wheel, took it out for a quick scrub. Went for an M5 again. Old tyre > new tyre after a short spin. http://i1217.photobucket.com/albums/dd388/frankiek7/newrear6715_zpstyx7lvdb.jpg Nice one Frankie you have scrubbed that rear in ...

After a terrible day at work and no gym.for the past couple of weeks due to my back and not wanting to over do myself, last night we finally booked Rome! Was booking through a website and it crashed, so rang up the company ...

Whipped the back wheel off, nipped into GS, had the new rear popped on, went home, re fitted wheel, took it out for a quick scrub. Went for an M5 again.
