You make that sound like a bad thing...

 

Many bikes come fitted with a bump starter

 

IRTA "teutonic fault line" and wondered if Timo had been visiting.

 

My parents have invited themselves round.

 

How long have you been doing the IAM thing for and are you enjoying it?

 

Try dark glasses and a fake moustache.

 

Couple of months, and yes. It's bloody hard work though.

My instructor is pretty sensible, and a totally reasonable guy. And
rides like I'm standing still.

Well, that will stop anyone realising it's *me* looking like some kind
of n00b I suppose.

It actually is harder than you'd think isn't it. I started in January
and have only a few minor things to resolve before i'll be ready for the
test, but it is a tough discipline sometimes to think about things that
you've so naturally done differently for so long.

good excuse for getting out on the back as well.

 

Very much so

Not half.

I'm not *sure* I want to know.....

Blimey the Boddingtons is having more of an effect on me than I
realised.

 

I had three choices this weekend.

1) To deliver my car to my sister who had her own car vandalised by someone
who didn't want me to go out on the bike.

2) Go to Bury railsheds and piss about on the footplate of a **** off big
steam loco (The Sherwood Forrester) while it was steamed up in readiness for
some rally or other.

3) Have a blast around in a Micro-lite thing.

Anyway, it was fooking freezing on Sunday.

I'm going skiing.

 

I might not be home.

The clocks haven't changed yet.

The bike isn't taxed.

Do you want your arse whupping by a 65occ single or a 1000cc four? If
it's going to be the four then I need to put the new rearsets on it
because the other ones are a bit wanky.

 

I may well be on a 250 so fill yer boots.

 

In another country.

On a related note, is there any fucker in Ireland that wants to go out
riding ?

The sun's even come out ....

Paul.

 

The shed where the bike lives:

(That's not actually a current photo, but it looks pretty similar at the
moment).

I shall be out on skis.

 

Bike is currently in the process of being written off, wrist is still
broken.

And I'll be in trouble if I go out.
