My budget wont stretch that far, or I'd be rolling around on a Tiger 800 by now!

The Royal Enfield Himalayan caught my eye. But 25hp lugging nearly 200Kg of 'very good steelings'. Nah!

£3k, £3.5k if it's perfect.

Like the adventure styling, but not essential. That, or naked styling is nice too. Primarily commuting with some holidays around the UK.

fucking cars


mg is scrap

needs a lot more work then I realised doing to it

inclusive of all brakes need discs callipers and pads
all four wheels need bearing as on verge of collapse
still needs clutch and slave doing as my mechanic spotted all this stuff when he put it on ramp

also needs two rear tyres asap due to nails (could be neighbour sabotaging my car)
new rear bumper (which I knew about )
drivers seat needs recovering as stitching gone

so all in all about a grand to a grand and a half of work

so not owrth it

also pissed off that the bloke that bought my bike that I considered a mate (works on my bikes and is a proper bike shop)
I sold it to him cheaper then I wanted really and i actually had another offer for more but had agreed to his already as he told me when I bought it he wanted it for his collection


ive now found out its up for sale for over a grand more then I sold it for in his shop

Same thing happened with my last bike, I was honest about it and sold it cheap to a lad who was getting his licence*, then he advertised it for a grand more Rolling Eyes

*I was going to offer to buy it back off him if he couldn't get his licence (what I suspected happened) until I saw how much he wanted...

Not worth getting the hump over. For whatever reason you sold it, once it's gone it's the other persons choice what happens with it. Maybe your garage mate needs some quick funds and can get that bit more selling from a garage? Who knows.

Got up in the wee small hours this morning for piss.
Got halfway down the stairs and fell down the rest.
Initially thought I'd done some damage to my shoulder or broke my collar bone because of the pain but it must just be a muscular injury.
I'm sore now. Sad

Day from hell - hellkat style

1. Run out of loopaper. Luckily bought babywipes night before.
2. Step out door, accosted by nosy neighbour wanting to know am I moving, why so many empty boxes brought in house this week? Tell them just having kitchen renovated soon, need to move everything out of kitchen. Cross fingers behind back.
3. Many lorries on The Highway.
4. Twenty minutes late for work due to neighbourly inquisition.
5. Parking ticket £40. At least car not towed this time.
6. Passenger, 21 years old, male, quite fit, enters car at Hammersmith Broadway and advises me he is going to be taking off his clothes on journey to West Acton (and replacing them with clean ones for second job). I can't peek because professional driver. Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Genuinely don't peek. Clearly getting long in tooth.
7. Stop to ponder what I was doing 21 years ago. Realise I was running away from home Shocked
8. Phone battery dies during conversation with potential next passenger. Spare energy pack won't charge phone. Threaten to throw leads out window.
9. Job cancelled, waiting time 32 minutes.
10. Next job LHR T2 pick-up - I hate LHR pick-ups Mad
10a. Pick-up slightly improved by turning out to be young (and friendly) Finnish supermodel.
11. M4 closed and diversion around Parkway and A4.
11a. Supermodel tired, cold ("London not as warm as Greece") but still dewy, beautiful in a Nordic blonde eyebrows and plumped lips sort of way, cheekbones to die for. I, grumpy silent old bag, crazed lipstick, grey roots, "laughter lines".
12. Battery dies for second time halfway through final booking (but which includes large white fluffy dog called Henry), luckily I know where going.
13. All shops closed, no food available. Find Londis, get loopaper and milk. Hate Londis. Poky.
14. Just want home, tea, slippers, bed, bloke. Bloke not home. Am close to tears.
15. Post on doorstep includes motivational card from people who tell me God is always with me. Clearly, He is not today. Remind self of starving children in Africa.
14. Stomp off to put kettle on and find slippers.
15. Slug in slipper kisses my big toe and tells me it loves me Puke Puke Puke

Salt+slug = slime Twisted Evil

SMH. It's time to take the keys away mate. Clowns with tits the lot of them where cars are concerned.

Mine came home from pole the other night. (This woman has two degrees, one of them a first with hons)
Her - "The headlights are broken. They are stuck on full beam. I've tried everything and its full beam or parking lights.
People were flashing at me as I drove home". Me - "I'm not surprised" as the headlights on the Swift are AWESOMELY
bright xenons even on dip beam. So I go outside and pull the lever back and switch them back onto dipped, exactly as
they are supposed to work. The ham fisted mare must have clumped them into full beam when signalling and then drove
the rest of the way home burning oncoming peoples retinas out. I took her outside for "How your lights work 101" on
the car she's been driving for 2 years now. It's frightening how some of them are allowed to be in charge of vehicle.
