For me there's only a two horse race over the next week with PH & MD, by the looks of things, but the form book could be wrong.
apart from back in the day when i was an all year round biker, i dont think i have ever been so happy to be off the bike. i am fugged. and quite sore tbh. i've been using the 848 for the last 2-3weeks for the first time in several years. still in original suspension trim, it's perfect for the 30mile commute of glass like roads and sweepers that keep you entertained under 80mph. for the Arran loop less so. ferk me, eltoro and co are v,quick. or, i'm very slow. probably a bit of both. v,much looking forward to taking the armchair out tomorrow to meet up again.
Got the boat back after a small breakdown 100 yards from the mooring and then got home and soldered in a new 6mm speaker in my earbuds.
Does your bike have "personal space" It seems mine does... Out on my supersport today - heading for the 'rents who needed some shopping. Pulled up at the local supermarket. I parked up smack bang in the middle of the parking space with a white VW golf to my left... Inside the supermarket, at the checkout and spotted a guy and a girl in the gap between my bike and the white polo having a chat with the guy in the car... They were pretty close to the bike, and while they were a lot closer to my bike that I would like there wasn't much I could do about it... paid for the shopping and walked to my bike. Now - I normally get on the bike from the left - but they were there so there so I waited, put the ignition key in, did my bag up, all to give them time to move.. They clearly were not going to move. So I thumbed the starter, bike fires into life and sounds well, fantastic... She jumped and nearly shat herself. "that's a bit loud" she said. I blipped the throttle "It gets louder if you want..." It was somewhat amusing watching her now trying to shout her conversation at the guy in the car. More throtle blipping as it the engone did seem to be running a bit lumpy - almost as though it was going to stop when the revs dropped... It took time but they got the message, exited stage right which mean I could fuinally get on my bike Don't get in my bike's personal space - it isn't good for your hearing...
Spent yesterday looking around Koblenz. Packed up and on the road by 8:30 this morning for the drive to the ferry at 4:30. Border patrol ques were huge missed the boat so on the next one. Only an hour to home from Dover, a cracking week away.
Did a PB swim this morning, 2k in 35 minutes 19. Then a 20k bike ride and 5k cross train. Celebrated with this filthy bap for lunch, 150 mile ride on the bike and a 6 course Chinese banquet tonight.
You could be right, onboard with two eighty year old pensioners because they have the spare coinage no doubt.
Clavinova? I bought on for my daughter to use during her music degree. It has a headphone socket (or probably Bluetooth now). Just saying.
Just had some friends pop in on their way home to Devon, after spending the weekend in London. Got some other friends coming for a bbq in a bit, so I’d better get on and start cooking!
