    After a late breakfast I thought about taking the cover off and re fitting the battery, pumping the probably stale fuel out and re filling with fresh petrol and going for a short run but instead fell asleep in front of the telly for most of the day. Going to have to reconsider this work / life balance a bit harder, as it isn’t working.

    Here starteth the lesson Dave. I was off on Thursday as well and managed to not be drawn in by the red flashing light on my silenced work hellberry, The withdraw symptoms are a strong pull but I hope I can be strong until I go back to work on the 8th, alternatively, I if I am weak, Ling lubricates it well before she sticks it up my arse as she has threatened to do. Good luck.

    I took photos of my bike to try and be helpful in a thread about Kreiga luggage and was ridiculed by people I had come to love and respect.

    I am now jaded and disillusioned and have all issues and stuff.

    Alex, Alex...we'd have ridiculed you even if you hadn't done all that in order to be helpful. I told you.....It was your turn.
