What are you all up to today?

Well... I'm nosy! Spill!


As for me, I'm determined that next year's biking won't be so rubbish as this year. So I'm starting early...

So far, the innards of my helmet have been in a bowl of soapy water and are drying nicely in the airing cupboard, the battery is in the conservatory hooked up to a trickle charger in a desperate attempt to revive it, and my visors are lovely and spotless for the first time in months. I've even had a scrub of my summer boots... why oh why did I have to buy silly blingy white ones?

Dropping wife and child off at a Halloween party before home, couple of cans and watch the motoGp practise session from this morning!!

Rock and roll I know but gotta be up early in the morning for an 8:30am kick off with my lads football team..... But then I'm going bike shopping

Just finishing at the Gymn. Then home to watch boring tv.

Might go and catch a band at pub later, lad i know is on Guitar. Depends how knackered I feel

Sat in Wetherspoons.

Well there is a real ale festival on, would be rude not too....

I've been at court (jury duty) today, got home and then lent my motor bike boots and black gaffa tape to my neighbour so he can dress up as a cowboy ( with tinfoil spurs) now I am at work doing some overtime (waiting on someone else in a far off land at the moment).

Hoping to get home soonish though as i'm playing golf at St Andrews tomorrow which should be nice if a bit cold.

"Jury duty"... pull the other one!

No....Honest guv.

tonight for you is tomorrow for me....so i'm working.. :(

Success! Cost me £40-odd for a new battery but the bike fired up like a good'un. Only a little thing, I know, but there was a nagging doubt in the back of my head that draining the battery had done bad things to the alarm/immobiliser.

She's booked in next Saturday for an MOT, and I'm expecting her to probably stay there for a few days while they strip and restore one of the callipers, and most likely change the exhaust headers. Fingers crossed that's all she'll need!

curled up on the sofa watching big bang theory and a new episode of Elementary.
Am on call with my work (computer geeky stuff) so cant go anywhere till mid day tomorrow...might be for the best as its cold outside and I am a wimp LOL

Mostly today I was a Nottinghamshires Poppy Appeal launch.

The weather was "bracing" roads were a bit damp and greasy, but all in all not a bad day.

I've got mine. Where's yours ?

Wanted to go for a longer ride, but had to settle for 6 miles - to the shops and back.

Was 5 deg C behind the fairing, the heated grips have packed up for the 5 or 6th time in just over a year and the bike has caught a real nasty cold. Battled to start and is only running on 3 cylinders :( Oh and it started raining as I set off - not quite what I'd call a good day

i go sleep just now. i start 4 am tomorrow at the bakery

Sat holding a motorcycle boot in a pair of pliers. No, I'm not crazy.

wow R2D2, you live life in the fast lane :-) what else do you do for fun ? hold a pair of motorbike gloves in pliers too ? lol

Har de har I'm trying to fix the stupid little velco zip puller thing, which I managed to rip off last year. Superglue isn't doing the trick though. Ah well screw it, it can stay broken.

even more of a reason to go shopping for new boots ;-) would mean having to break them in by riding the bike even more to get "used" to them...real shame LOL

12:15 Kidderminster. Check the team news for the Villa game; sh!t it kicks off at 12:45...25 miles away...leap into car and go at speeds an old deisel shouldn't. Can't get parked near the ground, eventually get my seat on the 40th minute. I have missed our goal....

Bum holes

The only goal of the season Tony?

Very possibly...

yesterday i was mostly being on my bike, (the speedo cable broke, so speed was a guestimate for half of my ride....) then played some golf with my father, well he played and I hacked

oh and i spent 30 mins drooling over a duc 996.....

planted 15 rose bushes putting the bike up on the abbot stand so both wheels off the floor
body repairs to the car & cleaning inside now settled down to watch moto GP

Slept till 4.30pm

proper stiffed with nightshift last night, I forgot that the clocks went back, so was loving the fact I ended up doing a 13 hour shift.

back on nights again tonight for another 12 hours, still off till thursday as of 8am, whoop whoop!!

My Cat hasnt moved for ages now, think I gave it the deep clean a bit too early and I'm loathed to take it out in this shitty weather.

Neither has mine, been swamped with work for the last three weeks.

Last run the bike got was an unplanned trip to Inverness after I forgot I needed to change the rear brake pads on the car.
By the time I remembered, all the motor factors were closed and I didn't have time to do it the next morning, before the Job.

Glad I did take it though, even though it was a Sunday, some low loaders had taken advantage of the 'light' traffic on the A9 to shift some heavy plant.
At one point I whipped past a queue of at least 150 cars doing 20mph.

I thought I'd be in bits by the time I got home, but I was ok.

(Stopped for a smoke at the House of Bruar and tooky a piccy)
