So what have you done today..?

So, I have had a few beers, well a lot of beers so this post might be a little odd. Went to the Excel and was disappointed. A small hall with not a lot to entertain although I did manage to get a slot at the Ducati day at Silverstone (Donnington sold out) and Carole bought some stuff. Carole got on the internet to find somewhere to eat. We both adore Spanish tapas so headed back towards Waterloo for a tapas bar in Bermondsey Street. All I can say is wow. Ice cold Estrella on tap and some of the most delicious authentic tapas we have ever had in the UK. 5 pints later headed back to Wateloo to go home. Well, home after another pint Delivering a group riding skills course in the morning oh dear ! Andy

 

After a £4 million machine installation at work for a new Evoque component manufacturing cell there were a few bits left over. The contractors let me have this 5.8m long 250mm deep I section beam
After cutting it to the required 5.4m we loaded it into my van on a 40T crane and 4 people - only stuck out the back a little and I only had 34 miles to get home so all good. Had to unload it all on my own though which was a bit of a struggle at 170 kilos

It will support the wooden beam in the centre of the roof that has started to sag after 12 years and work as a lifting beam when needed, well happy now it's at home

 

Did you notice it's Ducati Yellow

 

Shit dude, you've lost weight.... only a 170Kg...

 

Don't tell me .... Ducati marketing... Please tell me that loads of scramblers were melted down to make it....

 

Went to the bike show.... not worth going, too expensive, now it is so small and no events.....

 

Never mind the sagging roof, what you going to do about the ready to buckle walls with that bit lump on it?

 

They won't budge - they is well chunky walls at 70mm thick. Will be having 2 uprights though (that I have my eye on) for when it's loaded / lifting (might be able to strap 2 bikes to it to get more in)

 

You should lose some weight then fatty. If you were fitter, maybe you's wouldn't have huffed and puffed as much. However do you get to be 26st?

 

Stop pinching AC's jokes, which aren't actually funny when you realise he actually does weigh that and you're not so far off yersen

 

How dare you!!!! I'm not an ounce over 25st.

I never saw AC's joke btw. Touche @AirCon

 

Touché with AC, Mmmmmm, is that good

 

You sure you're not just building a roof extension for your ever increasing harem exi?

I took the shell off my pet snail today to see if it would make him go faster.

Didn't work though.

If anything, it made him more sluggish.

 

You’re going to have to rest/support it on something, a couple of old bikes? And dig some foundations for the supports, got anything you want to bury? A burnt out 1098R ?

 

It is strong enough without supports, just going belts and braces with 2 supports sat on the 6" of concrete and 6 " of hard core - it would take 5 times that weight even without the supports
