I'll might have just seen my next bike at my local, a desmosedici in red and a very nice low number on the workbench,it was being serviced for a lucky someone,must start saving those penny's
Just arrived at the Commodore in Llandrindod Wells after a 189 mile circuitous route from the out of town Oxford Sainsburys. Been really lucky with the weather reaching a balmy 13 degrees but there is an awful amount of shit on the roads. Carole got 3 punctures, 1 big enough for the Ultraseal to block but 2 very tiny flint cuts that I had to sticky string. Hopefully a good day of riding tomorrow with no fekking punctures please. Beer is calling so have a pleasant evening folks, I’m just about to Andy
Dry and 13 degrees on Sunday, looks like it could be the start of 2018! Mind you, Wales and weather forecasts is tricky!
Wife's bought me a T-shirt with "Vintage premium goods" written on the front and I don't know if I should be insulted or not...
Went north early this morning to visit my mum. Considering on Tuesday she was at death's door today she looked remarkably well and had eaten a yoghurt and taken on fluids. I left around 2pm and felt happy. Unfortunately it hasn't lasted too long. I've had a call from my brother 30 mins ago to say that she's been struggling to breathe and the nurses have been to give her a sedative to help relax her, which it has. However they have also said that this is now "end of life" and all they can do now is make her comfortable.
Please accept my deepest sympathies @El Toro, I know what your going through, I hope she's not in to much pain and stress.
Magical mystery follow my leader tour. I think the Elan valley is part of the trip today but the route description at dinner was a bit vague ..... and I’ve slept since. Andy
According to my youngest brother there’s no change From yesterday evening. I had planned to go to the Manchester bike show today but I’m heading north again with SWMBO this morning.
Result! DMC have come back with a quote £120 better than the renewal they sent and between £70-100 better than DI, Hastings and Bemoto. Just the Panigale at this stage - £319 FC with a £450XS (lower than all the others), UK and European cover including repatriation, £100k legal cover, £25k Road Halo cover, helmet and leathers cover, NCB protected. And confirmation that they won’t add an admin fee when I add my new Scrambler Sport when it turns up. Well happy
