rode it to ap got SOAKED on the way home torrential rain AGAIN at Donnington through to Doncaster. the bike is running lovely though

Had a full day at AP and the generator was cooked and i mean cooked melted and black... they serviced the bike at the same time and gave it a tune up all fixed and running sweet as a nut on the way home.

... create a stink because they can hear noisy bikes (even if it's a Car they can't tell the difference) when they're at the golf club/tennis club/at home in garden on the weekend, they understand and use the process of lobbying and accessing the Police Commisioner (elected so lobbying is effective) ...

Left it at home. I thought if this manflu kills me at work at least my wife will be able to drive the car home.

I'm so glad I washed it yesterday. Doubly glad I took the advice from the weatherman so left my waterproofs at home.

Got it filthy dirty this morning in the wet and nasty, then thrashed the tits of it on the way home in the glorious sunshine, good day all round really.

... bikes, laid them on their sides and sub-contracted recovery to idiot outfits that can't even supply a driver with a map or satnav to find the home of the recovered person & bike. (facepalm) In short my experience says don't go with the RAC.

Nob.

But i'm not sure engaging in email abuse tennis is a great idea.

BTW Company directors no longer have to post their home address on any publicly viewed Companies House documents.

Working tonight, then off t' that Yorkshire Saturday to pick up a new front end for the Zed, then back home and chill in the shed with a couple of beers and a bit of gentle fork dismantelling. Sunday, back in the shed trying to remember where I put half the fork internals ...

Good work keeping it up!! So come on, how the hell did you get it home from the middle of nowhere after that???

Looking on the Battersea Dogs home page and wishing me and the Mrs were in a position that we could rescue a dog

... so Kwacky/Blade/Bratty et al, you need to try this one next time. Once back on the A44, i rode back to Crossgates, had a quick tea and headed back home the same way i rode down, through Knighton, Ludlow and Bridgnorth arriving home just before 6pm. I did 250 miles in total and was out for 7.5 hours. ...

Eating a banana ready for my 10K run after work.

Getting on the bike is always weird after a run (yes I have a shower first). I find i'm relxed/knackered and have a nice pootle home. Even doing 40-50 feels fast.

Haha. I reckon that bike cost more than mine. Its got a trick carbon frame and durace components all over it.

Will write a little report on upgrades when I get home but brief summary is WOW !!!!!!! Being honest I didn't expect such an improvement. I'm well chuffed to say the least

... for those interested. Meet at Raven at 9am and basic route will be Newtown, Crossgates, Aberystwyth, Machynlleth, Dolgellau, Bala, Whitchurch and home. But might modify slightly as plan to try some other roads in the area before then. Depending on who's coming we can arrange other meeting points ...

Home made Chicken & Ham pie, with local new pots and peas. Oh and Strawberries & Cream for dessert.

Jet washed it, mainly in an attempt to clean the discs and pads. Taking them apart looked far too much hassle.

Dunno if ti worked yet as the garage wasn't far from home and couldn't tell.

Also booked it in for its 9000+ mile 6000 miles service in 2 weeks time, when I will have done 10,000 miles.

... left Jon. So now is just me and Lawrence and his Pillion on the M4. Traffic was doing my head in so I took off at reading and did the back roads home from there. What is it with Sunday afternoon traffic!!! Got home, stabled the bike, drank loads of water and crashed on the sofa, I was knackered, ...
