I took advantage of someone hugely underselling a decent set of golf sticks.
He was the kind of bloke who has to have the latest stuff. He'd tried the webuyanyshite route but he wasn't keen on the postage aspect.
Straight away he offered them for £100 less than he'd been quoted. I shook his hand.

Also managed to snag a genuine Nextbase Piqo dashcam for £35.

(1) One return flight LCY to Florence - cultural and boozy girlie long weekend with my mad little Russian buddy, prior to ... (several months later):
(2) One flight LHR to Sydney (return) - grandmotherly occasion

Will probably also be investing in a flight to Auckland and maybe also Perth whilst I am down that way.

Vinyl for the record player.

Got a job lot from the car boot: 20 LPs at a quid each. A couple turned out to be too scratched to play but others turned out to be as-new and look like they've never been played. Not bad for ~40yo media!

Finally ordered myself an abba Sky Lift that's turned up today.

Been hankering after one for ages, and after the ordeal of fitting a full system on my old GSX-S whilst seemingly laying on the floor for most of the day, I knew I couldn't face it again when I come to fit the full system I've ordered for my new XSR. Plus the fact it's going to make everything else I do on the bike a piece of piss. Genuinely really excited to try it out Laughing.

Would be nice to see some photos of it in action.

Got a full Kelpi system on order so I'm looking forward to that coming in and getting it fitted hopefully in the next couple of weeks. I've got some Puig pegs to put on so I might grab a few pics when I do those possibly one night this week, Thumbs Up.

The scenery does look good there and lots to see.

Plus will be taking a couple of telescopes for the dark skies

Have to say it works very, very well. Absolute piece of piss to get it on as well especially with the rear stand, and made adjusting the chain and fitting the new pegs a pleasure Laughing. Can't wait for my exhaust to arrive now from down under and get that sorted.

Very Happy
