What have you done today thread?

[Noggin]

Went to start the Monster. Got some fuel from a friend instead of 'start you bastard spray' cos I have no spray - lifted the tank, it slipped cos somehow the pin securing the rear of the tank has disappeared and that meant the tank moved too far and pulled the wires from a connector under that tank


Soooo - going to work out what the connector is, work out if I can reconnect the wires ok, order a securing pin for the rear bracket and go try again later in the week - probably with some 'startyoubastard' spray as I'm sure someone will have been to the valley by then!!!


FFS - I need a second, modern, bike that just works!!

Ah, the joys of owning a thoroughbred?
Wires from tank are probably the low fuel level doobrie.

Found myself in the middle of a cycle race. They dgaf those boys. Followed them for about 5 miles before they went left and I went right. These were just local boys but they were cracking on for 30+ mph most of the time.
TdF goes past us in July, so that should be ........ssssscchhhhhh

I spent yesterday with my mates at Stafford Classic bike show.
Today I've watched some WSB from Assen,spent a couple of houre gardening,then most of the afternoon messing with my motorbikes.
It's great that I finally have enough time to just potter around on occasion

Out with a mate on his newly purchased 2006 tuono 1000. I did about 30 miles on it and it's great. Seat slightly harder than the MT, pegs slightly higher but bar reach about the same, so pretty comfy.

Didn't find it too choppy low down at all, wind it open and it proper pulls, sounds great even with standard pipes. Clutch a bit heavy, but not a lot. Biggest fault I could find was.....no heated grips, so back to the MT it was.

An hour from home and the heaven's opened. Torrential rain and hail. Wet left foot and belly. ☹

It's a year since we bought the house in Spain, drove the camper back to the UK and sold it. Not once in the last year have I thought "a weekend away in a van would nice".

Occasionally we nip over to Fuertaventura coz loads of beaches to camp on. Maybe once a year.

It's only 30 mins on ferry so often nip over for the day.

Camper is to have a break from routine and demands on us from elderly relatives. Hope to use it once a month a least.

I've come to the conclusion that Triumph Tigers are ridden by utter hipster twats who wear Chino's & tennies.
Last week I had some talentless fucker jump out out front of me because he lacked any clutch control.
Yesterday I had some compete fucking cunt on a Tiger either speed up or swerve onto the wrong side of the road to prevent me passing along Mulholland. He did this at least a dozen times & I briefly considered jumping in front on the inside & taking his front wheel out with the ZX11 rear...
We came up behind two other bikes behind a car & this seemed to confuse him. Gave it the berries & passed all three bikes & the car in one move.
Was hoping he would show up at the RockStore so I could stick my foot in his ass or punch the fucker in the throat, but he must have turned off before then.

Today whilst I was out the front getting stuff out of the boot of the car, I heard that very distinctive sound of the Avro Vulcan.

I could hear those spooling axial flow turbo jets of the Rolls Royce Olympus engines whirring down on its final approach as the pilot retarded the throttles whilst aligning the aircraft with the localiser, bringing a smile to my face.

It was then, that a an electric SUV thing Hyundai drove past - it was that making the sound of our beloved Avro Vulcan. Whatever next?

Anyway, I had been to Tesco. Whilst getting a few bottles of wine in there, I noticed Bud Light was all stacked up at a remarkably low knock down price....hmmmm, wonder why?

Two employees now on a "leave of absence", I guess taking $6Billion off the value of the company has consequences...

Picked up a couple of cases at the weekend, £12 for 20 bottles, same price it was last year and it still tastes like weak fizzy piss.

Luckily I have some sort of allergy to their piss water. One mouthful of Budweiser gives me an instant headache.

Looked at vid from yesterday, This may not be a Trumpet..

We've got two bottles of regular Bud left over. The regular stuff I don't mind the taste actually, but I've never tried the light stuff. Usually the utility room is stacked full of Hobgoblin, a proper mans beer (so no idea what I'm doing with it).

Had my test for staphylococcus!!! Only a month before I go in for the leg op! Luckily, not nearly as yucky as the covid test I'll have to have two days before
