First off, this is in no way related to the previous post...

Day 5 of the squirts. Gone through more shit tickets since Saturday than I have in the previous 5 months.

I couldn't get on with a screen on the SH,it buggered up the handling at 'speed'.

I think it was on a BMW GS I had? Thought i'd stick it on the scoot as the screen does give a bit of buffeting! Fail. :lol:

I keep finding stuff I forgot I bought or had. Found a lovely set of Draper allen keys today and a Halfords tyre pump!

On my old SH300 I put a Givi airflow which was good, but then the only time it sees over 50mph is on a straight A road. This is the OEM Honda one and is noisy due to buffeting. I may stick another Airflow on there, but probably wont bother...

Had a full English cooked by my lovely girlfriend. Moved the patio furniture as summer is over, sealed some holes in the soffit, hacked a conifer with the new hedge trimmer, general gardening sorting out.
Then an hour long dial in as one of my staff had a confirmed COVID test result back. Planned a deep clean of our office, the car he drives etc to keep everyone safe.
COVID has not gone away people. Stay safe.
Now about to have a shower, dinner and a relax.
Busy and fun day!!

Day six... got up, weighed myself, crapped twice within 30 minutes, weighed myself again & discovered I had put on 1.5lb.

Tracer and xsr 700 look pretty tidy imo. Also liking the V strom for that style. Quite like 2020 colour 900 tracer, especially light grey. couple of gsxxsis, and a very nice breakfast was had.
Pissed down on the way home. 😕
We drove through Newtown about 3 weeks ago on the way home from Powis Castle on the bike. Great day out! 😃

Today was busy. Took wife to school and daughter to college. Then back home, collected my cassock, surplice and stoles and headed to Church for the funeral. Had a very good service followed by burial and then a Holy Communion service for the community. The deceased was a local 90 year old lady who had been a wonderful member of the community and very much a church lady. She contributed a huge amount to local life and was a real character. Lots of good memories from the community and a great service for all. A mix of informal and very formal. So good to see a life celebrated with respect and joy.

I forgot to take this off yesterday, so i rode in with it on again. It was flexing the Honda screen something terrible, so I pulled over and lowered it as far as it would go to see if that would help. Well not only did it help, but its removed a lot of the buffeting I suffered with on the Honda screen. It works better on the Sh300 than my old BMW GS! :wtf: :lol:

Just done an amazing 4 hour enduro ride. That's not much you may say. But after 4 hours ride on Suzuki yesterday and 5 hour enduro ride Thursday, I'm knackered.

Folk just don't realise how hard this retirement malarkey really is :)
