  5. Bit of gardening, followed by starting up the rib's Yamaha 50HP 2-stroke outboard and giving the engine a bit of a clean - pretty tidy for a 1998 edition. I think they could have saved a bit of space by having a slightly smaller oil tank!
    Evening swim in the sea when the tourists had largely gone home!
    :)

  6. First time ever for me to be frightened travelling across water was on a rhib with a 50hp 2T motor. Bloody hell it was fast, well as far as I was concerned :scream:

  10. My mates shortened it a little by not taking the Haverfordwest route, even though it was his idea to get to the furthest tip of Wales.:mad:

    I have 1 sports bike that I haven’t/don’t ride, going on the KTM 790. Need to get the fairing on the 749 so I can sell it.:)

    The last sports bike I rode was a T595, without doubt the most uncomfortable bike arm position wise I’ve ever had the mis fortune to own and ride, that’s after owning a 851 which was hands down 100 % more comfortable.:)
     
  11. Pleasant early (and cool) buzz around the local lanes on my bluestroke. Time to relax in my hammock in the rose garden...
