    Nice day so got the Blade out for a wee blast. £22.80 to fill the tank:eek: Did about 40 miles before weather changed for the worst. Great to get out again ;)

    Oh and leather does shrink over time, honest:D

    Been out all day, just got back. Bit nippy tho, slipping about on the worn corsas, just cant get any heat into them. Still great fun.:)

    I had my second ride out yesterday. Quite funny actually :D

    Our lass was coming round for the evening and told me she'd be here at 5. She hasn't got a key so she told me to make sure I was here when she arrived and "don't go out on the sodding bike because you'll forget what time it is!"

    At 4 o'clock I decided to respectfully ignore her request, figuring I could get out for an hour and be back in time to get the bike away and get changed before she arrived. Got back in time but had literally got the bike on the driveway, stepped off to open the garage door, turned around to get back on the bike and there she was, half smiling, half glaring at me from her car :D

    Six hours of work, got home tired and decided not to take bike out. Mrs started to wind me up about an hour after I got home.

    Glad she did really , because I had a fantastic run out on the bike and now it's nice and quiet at home ! not sure when talking may resume but hopefully tomorrow will be dry as well.

    was desperate to get out today! crap drizzle all day though:(. checked forecast and tomorrow is looking much better,(apart from west scotland) so hopefully get out again. start on an new site on monday and its mega overtime so riding time might be limited to a bit of commuting.
