Had a nice day - went out through the countryside to North Weald on my scabby old Blade .
Not lots of miles but just enough.
Sat at the cafe at the airport - lots of private single prop planes then a Scout helicopter was powered up - thought it was just an engine test but it went into the hover and off it went.

Rode over to my brother's house for lunch. First time on the bike in ages and first time since hand operation. Was okay and able to use the clutch with no issues after the hand warmed up. Nice to use the bike as the traffic was horrible coming home and so it was much quicker being able to filter. Got to love the overtaking power of the K.

In agony all day as I pulled a muscle in my neck. The cause? Foolishly stayed at a hotel and, when knackered, selected the 'wrong pillow' and must had slept all night with my neck at 45 degrees.

A bloody pillow injury FFS.

Got the Rockster out*, blasted around Surrey a bit, now sitting in the last bit of sunshine of the evening with prosecco. :)


* ran a bit better than the JAPton did yesterday... That thing needs some serious tinkering.

It's the track that goes between Benfleet Station and up to Leigh-on-sea. It basically follows the Benfleet creek to two tree island.

That looks really cool. Tell us about it. I nothing about old Brit bikes. I think later ones had disc brakes so maybe it's an earlier one?

Most of the day rolling around on the couch, trying to find a painkiller that works (trapped nerve in neck).
They're all crap so far. I'm at the tramadol level.
