Dropped the Blackbird off to have new tyres fitted tomorrow still an incredible machine pity Honda didn't update it instead of dropping from range in favour of the vfr Blackbird is a great bike but doesn't excite like the 916 or Multistrada
Did you know I've become completely independent since my wife left me last week. That's the second load of dirty washing, I've put in the microwave this morning.
Back as the hospital today to see how the dislocated fingers (well they were...) are getting on. They cut the plastic sheaths off - known as Turbo something-or-other, then put them back on and sent me for another X-ray. Could I, I said, wash my hand while the plastic was off? No, apparently this was not possible. It would only make my fingers itch. Bollox would it. I pointed out (ha! Not easy with dislocated fingers) that I was currently unable to go swimming (and it is warm here), or cycling, or play my guitar. Essentially, I can't do anything that makes life worth living. Nor can I ride my Ducati or even touch type (it's taking me an age to type this). It appears that I have another 2 to 3 weeks of this rubbish. This evening, I thought "Bollox to that". I will try out the swimming and see what happens. Can't see why I can't give cycling a go, and I will put the time to learning slide guitar which I have always wanted to learn. Only need a slide on my undamaged pinkie for that. Bah!
He did say he had trouble due to the race offsets with the front wheel hitting the engine. Great bit of engineering to stop that!
I've been dealing with halfwit Polish customers this afternoon. They used to be indecisive but now they're not so sure
Today I've mostly rock pooled, snorkelled, tacked,non plane carve gybed, hooked in, been catapulted out of the front and downright fallen in numerous times. I think I'm getting webbed feet.....
Hired bicycles from the campsite and cycled in to Bilbao. On the way back I forgot they have the brakes on the other side. So the massive broadside I tried to impress my wife ended up with me in hospital. Concussion and gravel rash from head to toe. Not the best start to our trip. On the up side, San Miguel is helping out!
"Why do you never pay attention to anything I say"..?? asked my wife today. "I do", I replied, "I'm just trying to think of something to post on Twitter"..?? "Something to Tweet?" she asked. "That would be great", I replied, - "I'll have a bacon sandwich"..
I went for my yearly check-up today. All was going well, until he stuck his two fingers up my arse and told me to say, "Arggh". It left me with a real dilemma Do you think I should change my Dentist?
