I changed my front and back pads last week, given the Tiger failed it's MOT on the rear pads being the thickness of a gnat's tadger. On Saturday I rode it the 20 minutes to the test centre, got it re-tested and passed, rode home, put it away.

Yesterday as I was using my socket set for something totally unrelated, something caught me eye hiding in there. Dug it out, studied it for a second or two and thought to myself, 'That'll be the retaining spring out of the rear caliper'......

I really am a fuck-knuckle at times.

Back home from hospital.

Had surgery yesterday meaning I've now had half of my thyroid removed, I've now got a nice 5" scar and a tonne of pain, along with 2 weeks enforced layup.

But I didn't die and hopefully the issue no longer exists.

Funny you mention that. Some may have noticed Crust was made an Admin this week and all account information and login stuff passed to him along with our techie contact on PHP forum. He'd have had a learning curve but would get there.

It's been a worry and I struggled massively in the lead up. I don't really do fear or emotions, but this has been challenging.

Trying my best. But anyway, no more to be said, let's move on. I wasn't actually going to mention it bit it came up on single-track forum as I'm not riding for 2-3 weeks and missing the race series. So thought I'd mention it here.

Blimey, hope you have a plentiful supply of codeine, and also that the issue no longer exists.

GWS Weeksy, take it easy, do what you need to do to recover properly.

Took wife to school this morning, then headed home, woke up daughter to be told "school starts at 11am no first period", so left her to sleep for a bit longer. Joined a group of ministers on Zoom for early prayer meeting. Woke daughter up, went to Church to help with a funeral and then took the vicar to the Crematorium to take the service there as well. Fetched the wife, recorded my part of the service for Sunday's online offering. Then did a prayer meeting on Zoom and had dinner! Pudding was lemon yoghurt, rather nice and tart. Time for single malt me thinks. Heard from a friend today who had taken a funeral last week for a 17 year old lad. She had prepared him for confirmation 3 years ago. Heart breaking, he died of Covid complications. So much for young people not getting it.
Proverbs 17:9
One who forgives an affront fosters friendship, but one who dwells on disputes will alienate a friend.
