Saw one of these at the service station today

Had a quick chat to the owner, said it had been a number of years since I'd seen one of those one the road (and this one was absolutely mint!) and he replied 'I've got 4 of them'

Theres a fair list of things to do today, but mostly I'm packing and getting sorted for a week in Germany and I fly out tomorrow lunchtime, this is the fourth one day weekend I've had on the bounce, and like Kwacky I'm relishing the prospect of a holiday in a few weeks time.

Packing the track bike stuff up and picking up the transit.

Praying very hard that the weather changes it's mind for tomorrow and decides to be nice.

Hope the weather plays ball for you Nutz but track days can be even more fun in the wet with the right tyres.

Well the weather changed its mind straight after we filled up with fuel [ANGRY FACE]
Couldn't believe it I dressed for a nice day and instead it posses it down got soaked and headed back home pissed off! Weather man said no rain whatsoever, he lied!

So instead we headed to the water side cafe or some place was really nice , quite posh we both thought. We both had some slices of cake which made up for it.

Was a good father son day

Spent over an hour and half on the phone this morning to my internet service provider because my home broadband is down and my internet on my phone is about to end so won't have anything for a week. Anyway talked to them and by the end of it just ended with my having a massive go at them, so angry. Anyway now need an engineer to come over to sort this crap out so will arrange something tomorrow.
