Took the Duke to work today

And gave it a damn good spanking.

Now the Street Cripple has spoiled me. Power everywhere, smooth, sweet,
rorty, goes like ****.

And my beloved Duke now feels slow, crude, rattly, harsh and ancient.

But ****, does it still make me grin )

I have to admit to turning the heated gloves on this morning.

But only to 5. I'm not that nesh...

 

Heh. I'm commuting by bike at the moment.

It's a bit crisp out there in the evenings now.

Oh, i'm passing your neck of the woods on Fri evening if you're about.

Cheers,

Paul.

Should be. Call first, I may be seducing Mrs WUN. Or going for a curry.

Or both.

 

Ahh that explains the "youthful" photo in Classic Bike then. There I was
thinking it was vanity

 

Ah, can't help with the 1st, but the 2nd has promise

Paul.

 

You're a sly old dog and no mistake.

 

'tis, isn't it? I'm thinking I need to put the second lining back in my
HG suit.

 

my new muffs & gaucho are lovely for warding off the elements. It riding in
the dark that's alien to me.

 

Please, I'm still trying to convince myself I made the right decision in
going for the ST4s. Desmodromic valves driven by several feet of timing
belt certainly have a characteristic sound.

Ah, the grin, yes, it's definitely a big grin and it definitely appears
every ride ;-) .

 

I took the Hyper into town today. Pulled it out of the garage and
it took a bit to start but was fine after that. It was a bit chilly,
especially wearing thin jeans!
I did notice that the clutch springs have gone rusty with the open
cover. I'm sure they were stainless ones out of the old 748 clutch
(replaced for the STM Evo slipper) but maybe not.
And yes, the first wheelie of the day made me grin. As did the
second. And the third. And, and, and... ;-)

 

<Pained expression>

It's an old archive shot they dug out. I didn't even know they were
using it. And my family has lready taken the piss to the max.

 

Yeah, I'm not so keen on that bit either. Never have liked it. I'm ok
with rain now I have decent gear.

 

I don't mind riding in rain.
I don't mind riding when it's dark.
I even don't mind riding when it's cold, much.

But when it's cold, dark *and* raining, I use the car )

 

Surely only Darsy would dip his knob in curry sauce before feeding to
the SO

 

s/car/train/ and I'm with you[1].

I think that's a *bite* then ;-)

 

Buggroff.

 

Yes sir, rightawaysir, which direction would sir like me to buggeroff
in?
