My mate had one of those slab side gsxr’s when I were an apprentice, I thought it was just the coolest thing I’d ever seen
Frustrating day today, little one has pox so ihad a window of a few hours this am to get out in the garage and start prepping the rsv for the trackday and my bloody dad turned up so I had to down tools and go chat rubbish drinking tea
Been out for a drive through coffee Big shout out to the lovely barista they were only taking cash payments at window or pay by card in cafe I explained I couldn't go inside as clinically vulnerable she said come round to the window and if it's ok with you I will take your card and pay in the cafe Bless her Starbucks Ross fantastic service
Weren’t they just, too many crashed and streetfightered though. Mind you forget just how long ago they were released.
I fell in love with the original superbike the first time I saw one Always wanted one, never had one though I currently have, as part of my fleet, a 2005 and a 2009 gsxr1000 One day, I will realise the dream, and get one of the original 750's
Completed the new office move following a three month refurb (which should have taken six weeks). Changed the plates on the car. Decided I'm too old and uncool for 3D, so went pressed aluminium and pleased with the result.
Taken a short break from catching up with the MotoGP for an Indian takeaway. Mentally busy and been pressed to a Cobra whilst I wait. Andy
I haven't noticed but as you know the Defender is on the agriculture side of things, but has very endearing characteristics.
A nice walk this morning with the wife and dogs. Then the weekly food shop. Coffee and hot x buns, may have dozed off after that. A nice little spin on the 600ss ready for a MOT on Tuesday.(large bin in pic) Moto GP sprint race was fab. Some nice dinner and the Luther film on Netflix. A nice day.
I take the point, I didn’t mean to sound incentive, just wish they would ring me and let me know they were popping in as i wasn’t in the house and my missus was prepping for a baby shower thing so I was just a bit caught out. I did take him on a father son day to York the other week so I’m not a monster haha
I don’t think anyone was inferring anything like that Phil, I think they were just reflecting on how much they miss their old fella’s, I certainly miss my old Mum, used to go around every Sunday for a cuppa and slice of cake, the dog I had at the time ( the one in my Avatar) used to charge into my mum’s place like a rocket to raid the biscuit tin he used to get all the broken ones, mum used to laugh her head off at him ! A mates dad came back from a funeral recently and said…” All my friends are dying off and the worlds full of people I don’t know now” ..must be hard to cope with when you get to that stage getting olds tough. As soon as I get the bike out on the drive or the car to wash it, an old guy over the way appears out of nowhere for a chat, always got him for 20 minutes or so and if you’ve got something in bits, you forget what you’ve tightened, where you are etc, but I try and chill a bit and chew the fat with him cos he lives on his own and doesn’t see anybody all day, probably all week,….he must be really lonely if he wants to talk to me Yup, getting old is not for sissies,…..must go and buy that new bike before it’s too late
Not with nearly 30,000 miles on it won’t Destined to end up as an ornament in the front room, …anyhow, stop egging me on or I’ll put you on the block list !
