sitting in the boot of a car trying to adjust hand lever travel linkage but hit a barrier as can't determine how clevis clip releases. - hoping i solve it before nightfall.
Mixed morning, third load of washing going through the machine as I type, charged and updated both Sena headsets and tried to update the Garmin Zumo. Garmin Express is an appalling interface to use which, having taken 10 minutes to find the unit plugged into my computer, it then decided mid download, not to recognise the unit. I give up, it can go without the update. Andy
Pressed my dinner suit for our annual industry awards tomorrow in the big smoke. Finalist for three, so if you don't see another post, p1ssed up by the weekend, well, it didn't go well
Have repotted my planters with fresh compost and had a sweep around and put my lanterns back out It's cloudy but a warm day so I may have rested on my outdoor sofa a few times
Gone over to the other side and put a deposit down a V4 Tuono still keeping the monster though and the 600 SRAD in bits..........
No longer shop there as my Oakley girlfriend decided I wasn't for her over a year ago, otherwise would have walked up and started a conversation given your T. I now have a Tivoli girlfriend and shop at Waitrose (... and Morrisons)
Picked my lads MX5 from being repaired after it’s MOT fail, then rode back to pick my van up on my lads 50 with him as pillion. First bike ride of this year, it’s so engaging riding a 2 stroke you really have to listen to the engine to keep it in the sweet spot. Combined weight of 150kilos made the uphill bits a drag…….
Fitted the carbon bits from @dmc12 (thanks again mate). My mudguard was a nightmare to get off with bolt heads just rounding off where they have probably been in there since new!
Your bike looks absolutely mint Phil! Carbon looks just right too. Which seat is that you’ve got? Have you tracked it yet? (noticed the lever guard!)
tbf it is, it’s much better than I thought it was going to be, but I suppose it was strong money at £9750…. funny story though, tht makes it perfect, is that my bike, the reg is ‘GY64’ same as my original one, both from P&H motorcycles registered in the same month, I remember getting my original one in 2015 and it only had 900 miles on it, so this feels cool, a geeky thing I know… The seat is the DP comfort one, I thought I’d hate it as I did on my old 899 but since then I’ve ridden a lot of bikes like the R1 with higher seat height, and even the V2 with its thicker seat so I quite like it now.
I hadn’t done any research in to this and with such an awful name I wasn’t expecting much at all I was wrong, they are exceptionally talented musical duo. With a punt if they’re heading your way.
i don’t think that’s bad value at all for a minter - low mileage ish I assume too? And agree on the higher seat height - as bikes have got higher and higher it just brings it closer to what the new ones are like! Getting back on my 996 after the 899 really felt like getting ‘in’ the bike rather than on it.
Where do I start .... Today is my one year birthday (stem cell transplant) I thought I would celebrate with choc and coffee My washing machine had other ideas I thought it wasn't working and realised it was on pause off it went merrily washing I went for a shower and came down to find it screeching and smoke coming out of the top In my panic I turned it off at the mains and pulled it out to see smoke coming out of the drawer and thought fire the smell was awful Called 999 was told to wait outside Shaking and in tears I heard the fire engine arriving 5 mins seems like an hour the team were brilliant they had machine out of the house Meanwhile I was being consoled by the lovely lady firefighter (I forget her name) deep breaths While they were here I have 2 new smoke alarms and I carbon monoxide meter near to my new boiler The guys got my washing out of the machine and put into my basket. They all made sure I was ok and offered an ambulance and to make me a cuppa They couldn't cap off the water pipe that goes to the washing machine One tearful phone call to @Philm and he had me sorted in no time Have an assessor arriving tomorrow to look at the machine as it's insured The lady on the phone helped me to fill in the form I'm now exhausted waiting for my chocolates to arrive from Amazon and will have my coffee with them in a bit If I had been a few minutes later coming down I dread to think what I might have been facing
A days holiday to use or loose. Nice walk with the wife and dogs after breakfast. Wife went to work and I went out to play for a few hours. Fresh and blowy, but better than being at work. 123 miles on the superlight, roll on the warmer weather.
