Attacked a massive pumpkin. A good bit was rotten - just as well, as I have 9kg that isn't - after I pared it. Cue massive pumpkin soup making: first off - a spicy coconut milk one.
crossing the river tamar at lopwell dam, the other picture was doing it the hard way at low tide and trying to get up the bank the other side which was like riding into porridge, as it was 2ft of silt, other pics on dartmoor
if i remember rightly the 500 bullet i rode had a decompression switch to start, which made it pretty simple, being british design though gear lever and brake back to front which was confusing for starters, and a tickler
Second post today, just been to MotoRapido and picked some new rubber for the rear brake and gear selectors.
Still bored stiff, waiting for work instructions..............and now SWMBO has become more unwell and she is now off work for the fourth week. 'Never rains etc etc............' (and what tw*t thought that one up?) AL
Ken Any chance you nipping down south to Palolem, and taking my battery to the battery wallah ready for my arrival on 22nd?
Went for a 200 mile play on the bike and then washed the crap off it. Lots of diesel still on the roads tho even after all the rain.
New Multi had its first service yesterday so took it out for a proper blast today. WOW! :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:
Gym myself this morning, finally sorted the crank on my MTB so thats back ready to ride again and then braved gym again with missus to help her work a 'program'....scariest thing I've done since I've stopped racing
still feeling shite, but somewhat better. This afternoon, a couple of guys in the Ducati family helped me out checking a frame: where the distributor would be - Ducati UK, Ducati NA etc., the records say 'Moto ultilizzata in', which translates as 'Bike used to'... Factory records say it was born in Dec 2003 and it's absolutely a Caracchi bike (they bought all the Breil bikes at the end of 2005). We know that the race bikes were taken from the production line and transformed by Ducati Corse with the race kit. It's possible that this is one of these. I'm hoping to get more information next week - interesting.
went to the dealers and got a new free number plate with the correst registration to replace the wrong one thats been on from day one 3 and a half years ago
Pressed legs to pedals for 10 miles on a very hilly (imo) route around he countryside of Winchester, managed an steady 13mph average including slowing for my mate to keep up. No off to loomies for a coffee and a natter
