So what have you done today..?

As the weather is so inclement today, I got in the garage early and started stripping the crash bars, fairings and petrol tank off the Multistrada to fit replacement heated grips. Took 10 minutes to fit the grips but nearly 2 hours to get all the ancilliary stuff off to get at the connectors. As all the panels were off decided to give them a thorough clean and polish so took another 2 1/2 hours to put everything back together. Still the bike looks lovely and clean and the heated grips work again, hoorah ! Andy

 

A day in Singapore, a week in Cambodia, a week in Bali, and a week on gili air and gili t.

 

Finished reading my book on "How to give constructive criticism" tonight.

It was crap

 

Did a bit of shopping and bought these, just in case simebody pops a 998R up for sale.

 

Sat in all morning waiting on the postman ......... who just arrived with our tickets for Thruxton at the weekend, wahoo ! Andy

 

How wise, a true speculator.

 

Ker-Ching ?

 

The wife says I'm a typically, tight-fisted, ass-hole of a Yorkshireman, so to prove her wrong I took her out for tea and biscuits today.



It was quite a surprise, as she had never given blood before

 

Finished painting the garden fence then polished the Multistrada
Head bearing for the Bevel arrived in post so they got fitted if the stanchions come back from the chromers will rebuild the forks . Hopeing to get bike finished by end of month

 

Pictures?

 

don't you know what a fence looks like ?

 

Ironing, packing, Donner was whatever we have too clear out of the fridge...couple bacon & egg sarnies then

Soon be bed time, leaving at 0330...

 

Bacon and egg doner. Nice!

 

Went out for what must be the best curry I've had in years tonight - 4 of us who have known each other for 45+ years! Afterwards we all went to a nearby pub and watched the England Woman's football which I had bet Holland to win 3-0 @ 5/1 - not very patriotic I know? But I couldn't believe it when Holland knocked in their 3rd goal in what was literally the last kick of the game

 

Repsol 10w50 fully synthetic oil turned up this morning for my hyper and ktm 525. 73 quid delivered for 4x 4liter tubs. Fucking bargain, Might even buy some more....

 

Left home at 0330, drove to Breendonk Fort just outside Mechen in Belgium, had a wander around and now off to Gent for the night

 

Tried to fight off jet-lag with bintang.
Jet-lag won.

 

He doesn't know what colour

 

Escaped for a bumble out on the 1098R at 6pm, black clouds and bits of blue sky but hey, it's not a fair weather toy thank fu*k it didn't rain
