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!
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
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. 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.
Pleasant early (and cool) buzz around the local lanes on my bluestroke. Time to relax in my hammock in the rose garden...
After a disturbed sleep through the night thanks to my next door but one neighbours and their guests ordering taxis all night and screaming at 3am I got up at 7 to enjoy the coolness of the morning with my first cuppa Just the nature world going about it’s business The next bbq they have could I arrange a group of you to turn up for bacon sandwiches around 8am please
Well, summer is back here (first perfect clear blue skies in weeks! ) and we bbq for lunch. No disturbances to neighbours.
Just done this route (Holmfirth/Flouch/Glossop/Chapel en le Frith/Bakewell/Matlock Bath - stopped for coffee/Baslow/Hathersage/Snake Pass/Glossop/Holme Moss/Holmfirth…….All in all 125 miles or so.) with my neighbours Dan (KTM 1290 SuperDuke) and Steve (BMW S1000R). And very brisk it was too! It was stonkingly hot!
