Been to Riders in Bridgewater to have my 999S Mono rear subframe replaced, courtesy of Ducati GB. Ducati had sent them the wrong part (a steel one for a Biposta - which weighed about 4 times as much!) but luckily enough they had the correct one in stock, left over from the days when they raced 749's. I think the satin black replacement item looks better than the old silver one, and my exhaust is now securely fitted :smile: Had a brilliant ride back from Bridgewater, along the southern edge of Exmoor. Mostly dry roads, and almost empty of traffic - totally awesome! I love my 999 :biggrin:
I'm supposed to be cleaning the house, but I got sidetracked:biggrin: Had an old Schuberth lid knocking around, nasty maroon colour it was, so decided to bling it up to match my new bike... View attachment 7295 View attachment 7296
I took my dressing off and found this underneath Needless to say I am pleasantly surprised with the minimal external damage ;-)
A bit sore and very swollen but I'm getting around okish Chris is clucking around like an old mother hen but I wouldn't have him any other way.
I have several crowns in gold, which never cracks. Some people like the "gold tooth" look, some don't - I like it a lot.
Hope Nicky and Darren get well soon ! crap I'm forever wAlking about laces undone to just nip out side . my poor friend was working up a ladder fell off onto a concrete windmill .. Do not ask about his injurys I got uveitis back last night was sick everywhere with pain . then before that the clutch went on my car . this morning I woke up at 3.30 am with raging toothache just had another yanked out! they are not rotten I have nerve damage so now I feel really old as need a plate made lol . Some disgusting friend of mine said well you could give fella the choice of teeth in or teeth out vile person but it made me laugh ! Hysterectomy keyhole now ! Wow!! I Know it still must be agony . It used to be 3 months off is it the same? And no driving for?
Got my bike through its 600 miles service - I can now start winding it on 1000rpm more with every 100 miles :smile: Just hoping for some dry weather this weekend!
Bet you run out of miles before you run out of rpm. :smile: Uh, that actually made more sense inside my head. Have fun!
I suspect that I will run out of balls first - the tacho goes up to 16000 - and I am told it goes BERZERK from 10
Got home today and the builders working on my house have ripped the drains out. Looks like they are going to be working late to get some sort of connection working. I hope so because I'm bursting here. !!! And worse than that........Mrs Nothingbettertodo will be home soon and if she can't powder her nose its sure to be all my fault!!
Hi He11cat it's still 12 weeks off but the keyhole side of things makes life a little easier, as for having a plate, I choose to have my 2 top front teeth taken out about 18 months ago. Nothing wrong with the teeth themselves but my gums weren't holding them well and they were getting really loose, I have never looked back !!! I'm always smiling but now I can smile without wondering if people are thinking ' for god sake give the horse it's teeth back' ))
Today I dismantled and reassembled my daughter's Blackberry 9300. The trackpad needed replacing and I replaced some other parts at the same time. It was rather a fiddly, complicated job but fortunately these days there are tutorials on YouTube to learn how to do these sorts of tasks. The device works perfectly now, which is pleasing. I'm really glad it's not an Apple product.
