Being able to tell people I have just ridden a 'Big One'....

Nice bike, btw. A tad tall and heavy so was tippy-toes time out of the car park with an audience just waiting for me to drop it...

Bike theft.

I carry the world and his wife in security and then some guy rocks up and leaves his Norton Commando (961, most probably) parked up with only a steering lock on while he pops into a shop.

Sometimes I wonder if half the bikes that go missing are because of such people.

Oiled gears because made me giggle and wonder why I ever worry.

I sold my Honda Superdream at the weekend.
Buyer/mate can’t pick it up for a week or two, so I thought I would see if I could get it going.
Four years since it last ran.
A flush of fresh fuel , a few turns without the plugs in to circulate some oil, a fresh battery and hey-presto! She ran

Sold it dirt cheap to get it out of my way, with all the accumulated Superdream junk that goes with it.
I will have some room to move in my garage, happy days .

Eddie Mair's exit from the BBC

"I'm sorry I'm not in the office today as planned. I seem to have picked up one of those 48 hour bugs. Atishoo."

dropped the Scoob off at the garage to get ALL the bodywork sorted (rust). felt so good to drive it there even on 4 half flat tyres. God that straight through 3" system on a flat 4 sounds amazing. rumble.

Being in an office environment again means that I'm REALLY REALLY HAPPY THAT IT'S FRIDAY

It totally pissed down in London, a couple of really good heavy showers.

[pepperami]

It oiled my gears last night/yesterday evening.
The weather has eased up a bit and last night I could watch the thunderstorms in the distance.
Quite a light show, at one time we had sunshine, rainbows, black clouds and lightning all in the sky at the same time.

Groovy

I never thought I'd be so glad to see a heavy grey cloudbank.


I fuckin love weather.

Insurance Renewal on GSXR 1000, £78.49 (TPFT). Not only gears oiled but I'm laughing my arse off that I can insure a fucking missile for peanuts but my crappy old Clio costs 5.5 times that.

Brand new clutch on the MZ.

Just got back from an impromptu test ride on a Thruxton R.
Mate texted earlier asking if I fancied a spin and we ended up at Hertfordshire Triumph.
The torque and soundtrack had me laughing out loud in my lid.
