Just having a little chortle to myself here... someone going by the ID of "naked cleaner" has peeked at my profile! Teehee! Could do with a cleaner as it happens. Clothed would do. I'm not fussed.
Having my eldest daughter home on leave, it's lovely to see her as she don't get home very often, trouble is when she is home I still don't see much of her she just don't stand still longer enough. Wish I had just a fraction of her energy she has already put three coats of paint on my bathroom walls, spent a whole day out and about with her sister, visited her other sister, cooked the tea, been for a run, now gone to Norfolk to visit her nan and grandad for the day, (her sister is driving so she can bull up her work shoes while travelling) then coming home for a run, cooking tea for her other sister, dropping me out in town tonight and picking me up, unpacking her suitcase then repacking and then getting up around 6am tomorrow to catch a coach to Edinburgh to play for 4 weeks in the Tattoo. all this and she only came home late on Thursday night.
I am having a lie down exhausted just thinking about all she does in a day
Getting a phone call from my daughter and baby grand-daughter wishing me happy birthday !! She's only 10mnths old and was blowing kisses down the phone and saying nan-nan... awwwwwwwwwww missin them loads !
Just got home from my first BM meet up, great company, great rideout, some guys out for a blat told us about a bike friendly cafe with panoramic views etc, they werent wrong! Must have been about 150/200 bikes there, including a run out from a classic/vintage club,great atmos, beautiful location, do Sundays come any better than this?!
just been out for a shakedown ride with all the rally gear on bikes to make sure everything fits, ready for Iron Ore next week.
Riding back towards Liverpool on Ormskirk Road, some pillock in a white vauxhall vectra, crap body kit, even worse taste in music, sat next to me at the first set of lights revving his engine for a race, so i pretended to ignore him, but just to show him, that a vecta is no match for a zzr6, i didnt even take it out of 1st or break the speed limit before the next lights, where it started all over again! And the next lights, and the next!
He thought he got past me, until he realised i'd taken the turn right filter at Aintree
I know its infantile, i know it doesnt project a huggy caring sharing view of bikers, but its fun to hear them wasteing tyre rubber trying to beat a bike!
Ah, guess i should have paid more attention to those sort of details! um.. let me think ..We rode through Woking, onto Old Woking, then on to Send, the place was called (Something) Corner. It's signed anyway, and the lay of the land naturally gravitates, so just go up basically!! Hence the panoramic views! (And they were great) Maybe the gal i was with might remember the full name, will ask later. ls dead easy to find though, promise!
Even at my fairly sedate rising style, hot hatchbacks are something I always see disappearing in my mirrors.
Few years back some lad in an Astra SRi (funny how you remember these details!) had a serious go at getting past me on urban dual carraigeway. That time I decided to let im go...cos what i knew, and he obviously didn't, was that just over the brow of the hill was a favourite spot for the police to lurk with radar guns.
Back off the throttle, touch on the brakes, and SRi shot off over the horizon. Merseyside Police didn't let me down and the next I saw he was being waved to one side. A producer at the very least, but at the rate he was going they may not have been merciful. Gave him a wave as I went past though
There you go peeps, good job someone was paying attention!
Ah yeah, but then all mine was obviously focused on keeping us safe & sound on the bike etc...*Phew...as he wriggles off in a 'hope i got out of that one' motion*
