Tickets to the whole MotoGP weekend in Portimao 22-24th April.
After the disappointment of Brno 2020 being cancelled and then the Portimao trackday being a non starter, this makes be very happy.

Six of the Wiltshire contingent flying out of Bristol on the Thursday morning and retuning the following Monday :bblonde: :bblonde:

Just bought 2 litre bottles of posh 2-stroke oil.
Bleedin" €25 a go, which stings a bit. But they're both running superbly, so it's money we'll spent.

Gig tickets for a Monday night at £175 a pop :o :lol:

Still, its a band I've wanted to see for years. I've come close a few times but the stars have never quite aligned. As my mum always says "you can't take it with you".

This is Muse at the Hammersmith Apollo (not called that any more I know). Its been wedged into their tour as a charity gig. I hope it'll be cool to see them in a smallish venue and not a massive stadium.

I've got standing tickets, gonna be that 37 year old nerd down near the front who thinks it's too loud.

I've seen AC/DC at the Hammersmith Apollo, it was a long time ago, I don't remember much... except for the cannons.

I never really got into Muse. They've started playing them on Absolute Classic Rock recently :)

All the really good places have a dress code, I doubt jeans and a band t shirt count :(

My Makita compressor. Just got our bikes out of the sheds and all tyres were down. Set the Makita compressor to the required pressure, hold the trigger until it cuts out when its his this desired pressure. 4 tyres done in minutes, where I'd normally have to run the extension lead to the shed and fire up the compressor etc.
