Flew to Jakarta today for an afternoon meeting tomorrow, home again on Friday. Managed to catch a bad cold somewhere yesterday. B*gger...
New 848 engine is in now along with a new clutch pack, I wanted a 1098/1198 motor but unfortunately warranty wouldn’t cover it...2 weeks after I had the bike together with the Bodywork the damn motor went kaput, it only had 22K Kms on it, diagnoses was that there was sludge with metal shavings in the crank casing & rod bearings were gone. I am lucky that I had the extended warranty because this job was 12.5K for the new replacement...my cost was $0.00
I just read that accordion to a recent survey, 95% of people won't notice if you replace a word with a musical instrument.
Amazing who you run into.... Working 150 miles away on site yesterday, coming back up the m3 i thought i could do with a piss so stopped in the services by the Newbury junction of the m4. As i walk in i catch the eye of a bloke ive not seen for 10 years (and about 10 before that) - thought to myself "that was XXXXX!" (and we both live in Bristol). Take a leak, walk back out and he's there propping up one of those pastie vans that they leave outside the front door of the services...i try to shield my face by faking a headscratch but he notices me...."alright Andy!" I shoot him a stoney faced look, and carry on walking without looking back. The guy is and always was a fucking asshole. The cause of a lot of friction between a good bunch of friends at the time and without going into it i told him to fuck off then.... If the phrase "bear a grudge had a picture next to it, itd be me!" As ive gotten older ive learned not to suffer fools...not even my own mum. Right, thats me off the couch...
I went out for two hours, completely forgetting why I am not at work today... missed a delivery for a job that is due to start tomorrow, and Mrs reminded me. That never happens. Oh well...
Out on bike all day, even managed a catch up and coffee with @Android853sp , nice to see you again mate (No prizes for anyone guessing where I saw Andy )
Oh mate, you should write a rant column in newspapers, I'd buy it just to read this stuff. Keep up the good work
