So what have you done today..?

  1. Went to Silverstone this afternoon and sold some parts. Great to be in the paddock again but found out I barely fit into the cars I was considering racing... lots more research, complicated trying to work out the regs another minefield.

    Not sure about racing on mixed grids, I was looking to do it for fun but I'd like to try and be competative and with different chassis and engines that could be where the costs rise. Artic lorries and drivers with supercars gives the game away a bit. Stopped at the Sausage cafe (A5) on the way back to find it was shut, it was packed with bikers on the way there.

    Need to get a car pronto for work, need to get in my garage and get this bike back together, still waiting for my carbon airbox and air intakes.. maybe next week or the week after. May have to fit some new an improved starter cables and hoses at the same time.. I'd like a new loom but time and cost and I want to ride it this year.
     

  2. My son did that to his ankle he had crutches
    Plenty of ice it works and elevation
    He has had to have physio though as a few months on its still painful running on it
    So tell her to rest up and be gentle
     
  3. And when was the last time you took advice from a bloke ? :D Andy

  4. Took a mate on a 600 mile round trip to look at a fairly special mondeo turbo. The car was quite a late model, low mileage and mint, pretty much a done deal....until the test drive. All going well, the owner was gentle with the car, but nothing out of the ordinary.

    My mate and the owner swapped places and everything seemed well until a harder pull through third gear. After a moment on boost with a heavy throttle it developed the most brutal spectacular misfire, it was like being hit with a sledgehammer. Upon getting back the car started behaving very oddly. An abs and traction control light came and went, a P0500 wheel speed sensor code came and went, a previous low key battery warning disappeared, the trip meter and odometer went to ----- then re appeared and for a moment the car wouldn't shut down in the start / stop button.

    The seller was a genuine guy and was gutted as he had no idea there was an issue (it was behaving fine until the misfire, then went to hell in a hand cart) needless to say we came home empty handed. [emoji53]

    Was a nice day out though.
     
  5. Made our first mirror dance floor, pretty freaky should be fun if anyone's going commando :D

  8. Last minute prep for Bedford tomorrow. Going to piss down apparently. Got to ride there to so I'll be getting soaked all day by the looks of it. Bit gutted......
     
  9. Was having a great week until Wednesday when I had a wobbly day with the MS shit and went into hossie to get checked out.Scans,X Ray's,blood tests and all the usual stuff I'm by now used to? Was totally disgusted by the behaviour of certain patients and their relatives!!! Shouting,swearing,Spitting and fighting - police called and attended 4/5 times - our docs n nurses do a hard,emotional job with long hours without these morons causing all this shit? More than once I was up with my stick in hand but I realised it would make me as bad as the other scum? God help our NHS - it's like working in a war zone - Friday night was pretty bloody scary
