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.

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...

And petrol. And Swan Vestas.

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!!

Every time I hear that tune I expect JT & UT to start dancing. And yes, I did just watch it on YouTube

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!

Just been out on the Firebalde to blow the cobwebs away - do need to get some decent ear protection as my ears are ringing now- I bought some 15 quid ear plugs but they arent as good as single use foams ones

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
