Bought a Stanley garage cupboard thingy... Sorted the mancave out big time. Got few bits to re shuffle but much better use of space already
400km round trip to chichen itza maya ruins and well worth it then a dunk in a 100ft deep sink hole that's another 100ft deep from the water surface, felt worth. Swimming under and not seeing. Bottom
Started removing and replacing left fairing after bike fell over onto a bloody retaining wall. STUPID STUPID.
Just got my 8000 mile service done, £188-00, first time in twenty years of Blade ownership I've ever had new front pads fitted.
Swam in the Caribbean Sea with the kids, had Iguana's eating a few bits of dropped food by right next to our feet. And have free tickets to watch a gig in our hotel to watch the beach boys. It's free so can't say no
More like "what am I doing today". In work just now, then home and pick up the kids from after school care, home, changed, take cats to cattery, home, make dinner, make sure bags are all packed, pick up niece, organise kids school uniforms for when we come back, make the wife's dinner for her coming home. Then, hopefully get to my bed. Bloody shattered already. Then tomorrow off to Marbella for a few days. We were going to take a trip to Gibralter as well, but that looks a bit goosed now.
Well I was going to ride to loomies with Martin Owen but seems he forgot a couple of things lol! So rode down to P&H in Crawley and managed to upgrade my kriega gear with the new hooks and loops
Found a new way to immobilise the bike. Put your data tool alarm fob in a zanussi washer at 30 degrees on a delicate wash. D'oh!
James it’s good to see you have got your other half to bring you tins of beer and then pick up rubbish from the drive....all in the training mate, and on that note, when Ling gets home the washing needs hanging out and I might have a little job for her later, said rubbing hands on thighs.
Had a day off and it was not raining ! Rode to MCT and asked Darren for his suspension advice and for once.........decided to be sensible and go for a cheaper option than I was intending, I must be ill. So instead of buying a cartridge kit (which is beyond my needs, but not my wants) I have booked the bike in for him to refresh the front fork internals and set the front and rear up again. I have gone for an MCT's own piston which should be suitable for my type of use ie fast bumpy road short blasts. Did their test route a few times, great twisty's and then rode around for 100 miles. Back home for a quick lunch and then went back out and went to Hunstanton, thank god I am back at work tomorrow, I need the rest.
Looks like I have got caught in my car doing 90+ in a 60 on the A34 south east of the M40 early this morning by a bloody PC with a hand held speed gun hidden in the long grass. Found out my work lap top is buggered by a virus (see Forum section) I called into Ducati Coventry this afternoon to pick up some JPH Racing push in front spindle sliders for my soon to be arriving Panigale. Then the sadistic bsatards on the parts counter slipped me a copy of the Ducati Performance catalogue and now I am wondering if the pages are wipe clean… The A14 was shut this evening so it took me nearly three hours to get home, but on the plus side Ling is out and I have cold wine in the fridge and my new Ducati tuggy book to enjoy.
Went flying in the aircraft I part own this morning,got back home 2.30,played cricket on front lawn with the 12 year old son then blast on the blade for an hour around 4.30 ish,popping wheelies on a favourite B road near home in the sunshine,magic,back to work next week tho'
sh*tter about the first two, on the DP catalogue, they do that to everyone. I ended up with a ton of carbon parts and pazzo's within the first week :s
LOL, they slipped me the book and commented see you soon. No you won’t I said, but my local dealer who is supplying the pani might as I have negotiated 10% discount on any extras. I have already added the termi exhaust, carbon clutch and genny covers, carbon tail tidy and a tinted high screen. And now I NEED……I could be here all night listing it. The kid’s inheritance is going to take yet another pounding. Those Ducati boys are like drug pushers and I haven’t even taken delivery yet.
secret is you buy from the forum rather than the dealer.saves a mint. oh and dont fall for the DP seat, really nice but it needs replaced when it starts to fall apart after a year...unless you never get it wet lol. oh and the meguires nxt generation wax really brings out the red. makes it look like a new bike every time.
Took my standard headers off in preparation for the full system install tomorrow evening and sound war with Jimbo
