So what have you done today..?

End of a good first week culminated in putting in my first invoice. Great role, great company, great rate.

Last day at the Circuito de Almeria today. My body has definitely had enough, 3 days on track is very physically demanding for an old man but we have had 3 fabulous days. Clear blue skies and mid to high 20s (centigrade) every day, good track conditions and a good crowd of mixed ability riders. Fairly broad mix of bikes, Gixxers of most capacities, Hondas, R1Ms, Triumphs, Beemers, Aprillias, KTMs, a 916, a 1299 (base) and my 1098R. For me it's not about times and it's unfair to compare my 853 with the 1098R but I was 15 seconds quicker than last year and 8 seconds quicker on day 3 than on day 1, so you can say that I am somewhat chuffed. We lost 2 riders to minor but debilitating injury and a couple of no injury crashes where the bikes were beyond repair but on the whole pretty red flag free. I have left Carole partying with a few hardier souls but it's lights out for me. Andy

 

I read invoice as divorce then at first.

 

Met a new member of staff who's middle name is...ahem........................."Kawasaki"

He's not Japanese, just a big fan of the brand. It cost him £40 to change by deed poll apparently.

 

That would be like me changing my middle name to Durham or Leeds!

 

air Durham con just sounds weird...
air leeds con nearly works...

 

no... No ... I won't go there....

 

Heading to mates this afternoon who is taking me shooting (clays) for the first time.

Later I am thinking BBQ if the weather is ok. I have bought a BBQ rotisserie kit...

 

I did a thing! First ever attempt at wallpapering and now my missus must refer to me as 'not completely useless'.

 

organised a lovely Saturday afternoon kid and wife free.....AND IT'S PISSING DOWN (Insert bang head emoji).

 

i take it that was her choice... good job but you should have put your foot down

 

I took the mirror and bar ends in to get fitted prior to pick up and signed on the dotted line.. 6 days to go till i pick up my first bike

 

Finally found what the "PULL UP" bars on multi gym are actually for... To pull up the front while nipping to get some new rubber on. £258 for Michelin power RS, they currently have £30 cash back on different sets BTW guys so £228 fitted



Stu.

 

Had a run out to test my new Drift Stealth 2 camera, testing fitting angle mainly, well impressed with the quality of the video but not so impressed with my clumsy computer skills, deleted the lot, silly boy.
Another run tomorrow as the fitted angle wants lifting slightly.

Is that the inside, or outside?

 

that looks like one of those s&m sex hanging cradles, apparently

 

Pissed about with my slippery clutch stack height
