Made a nice deep excavation to put her in before I flag it over
April 5, 20159 yr Author Narrow escape there John, glad you got back OK. Drew you having a BBQ soon then
April 5, 20159 yr Yep got out today, went to some of the family on the south coast, really just an excuse for a ride out. My normal route is a bit boring so I set the sat nav and then road east in the wrong direction for about 15 miles then followed the sat nav, absolutely brilliant took me along roads I didn't even know were there and found some really nice country roads with nice curves and no tragic.
April 6, 20159 yr Moderator Narrow escape there John, glad you got back OK. Drew you having a BBQ soon then soon? the flags for free via local streetlife web site, but I got to service the bike,break down a new shed and transport it, get rid of the old shed, start building the frame up on the FZ.....
April 6, 20159 yr Nope couldn't go out yesterday as it was my 40th wedding anniversary and SWMBO would be annoyed if I trooped off for the day, but TODAY oh yes the suns shining and I'm out for the first time since the MOT, then Thursday off to Portsmouth to see the parents, looking forward to a long ride out.
April 6, 20159 yr Moderator Nope, with drewpy on garden duty shifting rubbish preparing to terrace the current tip and turn it into a second patio area as its a 100% sun trap, plus service the car, plus fit the caravan mover (needed because of replacing the car) then today now got my jobs done, were going out for the afternoon. Bike, er, that black thing covered in dust in the garage?? Be glad to get back to work for a rest.
April 6, 20159 yr Been out two days on the trot now and really enjoyed it. The Yorkshire countryside is amazing. Can't remember the last time i went out for a ride just for the pleasure of it. The weather this past year has been horrific.
April 6, 20159 yr Moderator You been somewhere else grouch. Hottest year since long way back, mildest winter for a while too. No snow for us southerners and not a lot if ice and frost. Now spring comes in with a bang. Long may it last.
April 6, 20159 yr Moderator aye, moved a ton of flags today, managed to spray a few bikes bits as well for good measure. MOT for Speedy tomorrow and prob tax it (£38 year) then that shed needs doing. if its nice wednesday I'll go for a little ride out to get me back in the groove
April 6, 20159 yr Wife and I ended up taking the FJR to Skegness today in the end. Weather was superb. Roads brilliant. Bikers aplenty out and about today.
April 6, 20159 yr went to the barn on good Friday , did Kendal and back to the barn sunday , unfortunately never saw paul on either visit.
April 6, 20159 yr Moderator went to the barn on good Friday , did Kendal and back to the barn sunday , unfortunately never saw paul on either visit. you've been busy Kev!
April 6, 20159 yr Went to Willingham woods yesterday and then a ride out to Tattershall today. Lots of bikes out thought my head would fall off from nodding. Weather improved later in the afternoon today but it was a cold ride out.
