I'd a muckaway lorry this morning very early removing the spoils from a new driveway area and decided to close the road down for fifteen odd minutes,so that his exit point was clear of traffic muppets.
In the garage first thing, Diavel front brake calipers removed, front wheel out, front discs cleaned and bobbins checked, wheels in the back of the car and ........ it’s only 8:30. Arrive at Micheldever Tyres for 10 and by 10:35 I’m on my way with nice set of new Rosso IIIs fitted. Collected a few bits from MR and whilst there, booked the Diavel in for an oil and filter change and general inspection in preparation for Vercour in September. Thought to check when a new chain was last fitted and as it’s been 4 years, ordered a new chain and sprocket kit, just in case. Back home and into the garage. Front brake calipers stripped and cleaned, front wheel fitted, chain cleaned thoroughly and lubricated, rear brake adjusted just a tad for less pedal movement and rear wheel fitted. Think I’m done for today and just might pop down the pub later after Carole finishes work. Andy
Feck it the sun was out today in force so the usual coastline and icecream,also had a chat with this Ford Model A owner at Eastbourne.
I decided to throw myself up the steps into my garden Grazed legs grazed toe sore hands my shoulders hurt as does my back and something sharp in my plants went and scratched up my nose Paracetamol taken and feeling sorry for myself
Today I have sat in a garden near ipswich and got drunk... real drunk... infact i may be drunk now.. yesterday I quit the contract I was involved with and am now unemployed... bit it's not all Doom and gloom. Ok it is.. but my 748 bits, mag wheels, refinished forks, paint work and stuff is done
I got interrupted by the land lady. My 748 bits are done and I may get to put the world's nicest 748 bp back together in the next week or 2
Down to see mum and dad in Sussex today as I continue to run in my new Triumph. Did just over 200 miles and now feeling it. Getting old
