Had a row with my nearest neighbours who are gypsies, they think it’s ok to come onto my land and start cutting trees and generally taking the piss. Been ok for the last 8 years but today they pushed it too far. Then I went for a ride to cool off.
Took the Hyper for a circular-route bimble around Bath (not feeling hoon-ey today) then got the munchies on return to Brizzle. Perfect post-ride fodder on the dockside Yum yum.
Did a 100 mile trundle on the Mt09, wasn’t really feeling it today but needed to clear my head a bit. Had to ride through a water mains leak which covered the bike in filth so got home and gave it a wash.
just arrived in Hilborpugh South of Swaffam for the night. In the morning I'm going to the Duxford Summer Airshow
Waited in for the delivery of a 4 tonne hydraulic press from Machinemart. Full marks to them for picking, dispatching and delivering, all within 24 hours. A real shame though and not for the first time, the packaging was woefully inadequate for 35kg of steel parts and I feel lucky all the parts were still in the ripped to shreds, cardboard box. Not sure where it got damaged but both Machinemart and the courier will get feedback. The press has been assembled and the first bearing (partially) inserted. Now need to find something that is 57mm diameter and about 30mm deep to push the bearing fully home. Andy
A great day out even without the airshow been a couple of times to the museum. Watched a dual seat Spotfire take off a do a fly around on our last visit. Hope to go to Shuttleworth sometime this year.
