  4. Yesterday, took the plywood floor out of the van, fitted some tie down points, marked and drilled out the holes, refitted the floor, then tested it with bikes

  6. Had a great morning at Goodwood yesterday. I got up early (for a Sunday!), so it was nice to have the roads to myself, pretty much, on the way there.

    Was on YouTube last night, and noticed some little rascal filmed me leaving. Good job I was being sensible for a change.

  9. Got the news today that my oldest and best school mate finally succumbed to Cancer. It’s been coming for a long time so hopefully he’s riding his bike in a better place tonight. I drove down to Devon a couple of times recently to see him in hospital and I’m so glad I did. At least we had a laugh together.

    When I told him he looked like Ghandi, he said,
    ‘Good, I’ve got some flip flops here, I’ll pop downstairs in my bed sheet and get 20 No.6 Tipped and a bottle of Southern Comfort’. Fantastic, we both pissed ourselves laughing knowing either would have killed him there and then.

    The weirdest thing is I can never shoot that kind of shit with him ever again. It’s so final.

    Anyway, in his true style he’s insisted on no funeral just a proper piss-up party, like we used to do in our youth. So…. that’ll be another good send off.

    In his memory today, I got the Multi out, fixed the throttle and went for a really good blast. He would really appreciate that. We rode bikes together before it was even legal for us to do it.

    It was…a really good blast.

    Hopefully that’s the last visit to my neck of the woods by The Grim Reaper for some time.I’ve had enough of that shit.


    Life's a piece of shit
    When you look at it
    Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true

  13. Started to look at house insurance as the renewal has had a 27% hike (M&S underwritten by Aviva). Any suggestions?
     
  14. Aviva themselves?
