So what have you done today..?

Not a bad view from the hotel room tonight!

 

today i got some bridgestone s22's to the mag wheels that i pic.ed up (along with my newly painted bits and bobs) from bristol yesterday.
then started putting the 748 bac together. got the rear wheel fitted after removing hugger and giving every thing a dam good clean. got for.s in and clipons bac. on. tomorrow i will fit exhaust, air box and as much of the body wor. i can while i await my new bra.e pads and disc bolts. just ordered belts so with any luc. i may have a rideable 48 real soon! today was better than Christmas. (not a real good analogy as Christmas sux arse but youl get me im sure!)

 

Sorted out my box of spare bits and catalogued them - I like lists
Ordered two replacement rims and tyres for my rib trailer as they are rusted to hell and one has a puncture - the joys of dunking them in salt water.

 

Went for a drive with SWMBO, took a different road than usual just for a change and chances upon the most stunning display of Irish wild flowers to brighten an otherwise overcast day. Oh and walked to a lighthouse as well.

I like this view

 

Watching Motogp and it is going to be a fucking scorcher today, 30 degrees predicted today 32 tomorrow!!

 

Awesome, which HMP is that?

 

If it was HMP wouldn't the balls be in a sock?

 

Only if you haven’t paid the dude back for that £10 worth of HMP hooch and spice.....

 

Early morning dog walk in the comparative cool then fannied around for a while until I got the new Daytona over to Jack Lilly in Ashford for its first service at 600 miles.
Here’s a shot covering most types of bikes (personally I only like the Striple and Daytona but it takes all sorts!).

 

Tried my leathers on for the first time since July last year Only consolation is, with the weather over the next 3 days, I should lose a pound or two which might make all the difference Andy

 

Just replace sugar with Ecstasy and Speed in your morning cuppa and within a week, you’ll look like a bean pole.....

 

Time marches on, it’s been at least 50 years since I was last described as a ‘bean pole’. I was 6’ at 11 and reached 6’4” by the time I was 15. Took a few more years and Guinness before my frame padded out and it’s been downhill ever since apart from an aberration in my late 30s/early 40s when I played competitive squash and weighed about 13 stone. Haven’t seen 16 stone now for a good few years Andy

 

I've been titulated this morning in Kent for a few hours working on a property,also had a float around the area looking at different architectural designs,and now for a rideout very soon.

 

Who needs to go away, when you have work .

 

boss rang to say he had to go out for a few hours so wont be online, we're working from home so that basically translated in my mind as "don't worry for the next few hours Pete, i won't notice you aren't online so why don't you take your 916 out for a good old sprint around your favourite 60 mile lap between Bristol and Chippenham", well, i had to oblige of course...

 

Anyone going to festival Italia, at Brands Hatch on Sunday 16th?
Overload of Italian exotic cars and bikes.

 

So true.
When I was 19, I was a bean pole and I remember on bike forums reading how people are 16-18 stone, thinking how fricking fat they must be (I’m 6ft 4) and fast forward 5 years, I was then 6 stone heavier. Biggest being 18 and 1/4. Now, 102kgs, soon to hit under 100kgs first time since 2008!

I fricking hate exercise. I think 34 years of age around 90kgs, I would be happy but we are all built weirdly.
